Blurb:
Winged heart. Wild soul. Eternal Lovers.
When a shifter and a human are bound by fate, neither man knows if their connection will be enough to save not only their growing love, but their lives.
Shahin Halcón has been taught that if and when he meets his soul mate, he’ll know immediately. Always the rebel, he doesn’t believe it until the day he crosses paths with Cai, a full-human.
Plagued by unsuccessful relationships and heartache, Cai Banes’s life is quiet and unexciting. When he meets young and wild Shahin, his life is turned upside down, and he's not sure he likes it.
But neither can deny the powerful pull that draws them together.
Old secrets and ancient myths about cross-species relationships plague their romance and threaten to put their happiness and life at risk. Will their love for each other be strong enough to survive?

My Thoughts:
Shahin Halcon makes no excuses for whom he is. He also knows what his future holds. Cai Banes seems to be an introvert. In certain situations he seems nervous. We have two people where one knows what he
wants and one who’s a little apprehensive – which you might expect as two
people get to know each other. Early
into this story, our author sticks in a factoid. I checked and it’s true – you learn something
new every day.
I liked that Cai had a great support system – made me wish I had a
sister. One thing that I found very
realistic is that everyone seems to have an opinion. I wanted to help Cai out and tell those
people to MYOB. Something else that I
found very realistic was that Shahin wants to expand Cai’s experiences. As couples get to know each other they may do
something they’ve never done before. One
character that you will have no trouble picturing is Shahin’s mother. I was not impressed with how she treated both
her son and Cai. But it’s a sad truth as
to how a lot of families treat members who want something different. It shows the pain that can happen to the
couple – which as an outsider is really sad.
This is a story that shows the fine line between what is real and
what is fantasy. Part of what’s real is
prejudice of someone who believes a couple should be a certain way – like
should be with like. What made me happy
is that our couple is willing to fight for what they want and not let all the
negativity stop them. Having other
family members having their backs also helped.
I’m both glad that I had a chance to read this story while discovering a
new author. I look forward to checking
out more of her work. If you don’t mind
reading a story about two men that learn to be comfortable with each other and
show how much they love each other than why not give this book a try.
Author Bio:
Author of We Will Always Have the Closet, Desert Jewel, and Loved You Always, Natalina wrote her first romance in collaboration with her best friend at the age of 13. Since then she has ventured into other genres, but romance is first andforemost in almost everything she writes.
After earning a degree in tourism and foreign languages, she worked as a tourist guide in her native Portugal for a short time before moving to the United States. She lived in three continents and a few islands, and her knack for languages and linguistics led her to a master’s degree in education. She lives in Virginia where she has taught English as a Second Language to elementary school children for more years than she cares to admit.
Natalina doesn’t believe you can have too many books or too much coffee. Art and dance make her happy and she is pretty sure she could survive on lobster and bananas alone. When she is not writing or stressing over lesson plans, she shares her life with her husband and two adult sons.
