Blurb
Cast out of his clan of shifters and with no family of his own, Anton Cedwell wants nothing more than to be accepted by his partner Sean’s family when the two of them visit over Christmas. But Sean’s powerful father, Flavius, isn’t happy his son chose a shifter as a mate, and Sean is hiding secrets from Anton. When Sean is attacked by rival weres, Anton hopes Sean’s family will finally see the depth of his commitment and how far he’s willing to go to protect the man he loves.
Review
This is a fascinating world. Anton is a shifter but Sean and his family are… something else, very powerful. In this short story we get politics, magic and power, intrigue, a fight scene and… some really hot sex, too!
Since the couple is already established, we already know they are committed to one another, but this short story shows us just how committed they are and what that means to their families and their community.
I really wished this was a longer story because so much happened in so little space that just as I got a handle on Kaitland’s “universe” the story’s over. The “King of Me” aspect was really touching – I loved all that it implied with such a simple phrase.
The chemistry and devotion between Sean and Anton was electric and their scene on the ride was very erotic. I really enjoyed this glimpse and hope to see more about this world in a longer book.
