    Grace Dawson heads to the beach to do some advertising for a local surf shop that sponsors the business she runs with her best friend. Afterward, she decides to relax with a glass of wine and a float in the water. A little wine and some…self-care later, she accidentally falls asleep. She wakes up in a cage. Just when she's convinced she's doomed, two mysterious men arrive and rescue her. Now she has to give her statement to the police…from a handsome stranger's hotel room. And somehow, her life just became far more complicated.

    This was a freebie I picked up at some point and promptly buried beneath the other ten thousand books on my Kindle until now.

    For only seventy pages, this packs in quite a bit. We get a paranormal shifter romance featuring two strong-willed MCs, an intriguing kidnapping mystery, and plenty of chemistry and tension right from the start.

    The premise immediately hooked me. Waking up in a cage is certainly one way to get a story moving, and I was curious to see where things were headed. The interactions between the characters were fun, and there was enough danger and intrigue to keep me reading straight through. That said, this feels much more like an extended introduction than a complete story.

    The book essentially introduces the couple, establishes their origin story, and then ends right as things are getting interesting. Since it's only around seventy pages, I can't say much more without spoiling everything, but don't expect many answers by the final page.

    Unfortunately, I'm not usually a fan of stories broken into multiple short installments. I prefer getting a more complete story in each book, so while I enjoyed my time with this one, I don't know that I'll actively seek out the rest of the series. Still, the foundation is there. The premise is strong, the tension works, and the characters have enough chemistry that I can absolutely see why other readers would continue on.
