I really enjoyed this story more than I thought I was going too. I thought I would be a little more put off by Vaughn than Jake, but it was the other way around.The characters in this was well developed, but the world building could have used a bit more back ground. One thing I thought off was that Vaughn in passing thought mentions the “new thing” is to see if you can spot shifters in society. Then why is he so surprised that Jake is a shifter, that he thought it was a myth from the tabloids. Jake also got a bit tiring with the woe is me, I am a beast so therefore can never be with Vaughn who is human. Anyways I enjoyed the book, and hope the author might visit the word again. I would love to read about the teenager, for the life of me I cannot remember his name. I am horrible with names.I did like him thought, and would love to hear about him coming out to his family and pursuing his passion for photography. 3.35 The main MC's were well delivered for the most part and I enjoyed the banter between Vaughn and Jake a lot. Some of the secondary characters were a little one dimensional to me though. I also wish there had been more about the animals at the sanctuary and some 'shifter' backstory. I will definitely read more by this author as there were many good things in this story. I am glad to this book in my library
