Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:

I really enjoyed The Shifter's Kiss. This is the first shark shifter story I have read and while the premise of the Novella was Nali and Victor's affair and the enduring love it ultimately created, the fact that our heroine was a shark shifter was refreshing.

I simply love Caridad's stories! Her heroes are always loyal, steadfast, honorable, and just a little bit battered, and her heroines are consistently strong, independent, and a bit vulnerable. The matches aren't always the classic 'opposites attract' or 'like attracts like', there's always more depth to the pairings and that makes things even more interesting. The Shifter's Kiss was no exception. Victor is a retired and injured firefighter with a heart of gold and a love for the ocean. Nali is a shark goddess who is afraid to lose herself but who desperately wants a lasting love. Together they create sparks like nobody's business and find a compromise that gives them both exactly what they want and need.

Like most PNR Novellas, things moved really quickly with the relationship and the sex in The Shifter's Kiss. That's always my complaint with short PNR stories, sometimes it just doesn't feel realistic. Caridad did a great job with setting the tone immediately and making things all about the connection though, which made the heat enjoyable and the segue into the emotion desired, satisfying, and climactic as well.

Even though it was a quick read, it was all about patience, understanding, compromise and ultimately love, and therefore was a wonderful romance. When things are meant to be, there's nothing you won't do to keep it...

LITERAL ADDICTION gives The Shifter's Kiss 4 Skulls and would definitely recommend it for a quick, sexy, unique shifter read. ( )

Victor can't understand why he is so drawn to the beautiful female shark. As he watches her in the ocean she looks at him with eyes that look almost human. When he returns to shore he dreams of the shark but now as a beautiful woman. Shaken by his dream he returns to the ocean, that's when he realizes trouble and has to save the shark's life. Nali, the shapeshifting shark, can't let the man she has been watching die. She must turn to save his life. But, can she risk him seeing her? Will he try to make her stay?

I enjoyed this story of love, understanding, acceptance and most important patience. Love knows no boundaries and when you find it, you are willing to wait for it. This book is a hot read. The details in the book have you feeling like you are right there with the characters. A great read.
