Being a long time fan of Angela Knight's books, I ordered Shifter. And, as usual, Angela Knight's novella was great reading. She can make her characters come to life and is a clever, talented author. The other three stories, unfortunately, were not even interesting reading and I will not be buying books by any of those authors.

Angela Knight's was okay. Lora Leigh's about a school teacher had no plot (I was getting Laurell K. Hamilton flashbacks!). I felt it was the most terrible of the four. Alyssa Day revisited the shifters in her Atlantis series. I liked that one because it was nice reading about the alpha of the panthers that Bastian is now an ambassador of, as well as Bastian's sister get together. My favorite was by a writer I have never read before, Virgina Kantra. Her short story was about selkies. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. I'm happy to have read the book because it introduced me to Kantra. Although, I could have done without the Knight and Leigh story.
Rated by buyers -
Angela Knight's short story gets 2.5 stars for being forgettable and boring.
Lora Leigh's story gets 4 stars for having another hot, hot 'breed', but really nothing new here.
Alyssa Day's story gets 3.5 stars for being good, if not memorable or new.
Virginia Kantra's story gets 5 stars for bringing a fresh new storyline with interesting characters. This was the highlight of the four books and I had never even heard of this author before I bought it!

"Mad Dog Love" by Angela Knight
Rance Conlan cannot believe he let himself get captured by a slave merchant. Normally, he would be able to shift into his powerful wolf self, but right now all of his control is at the mercy of the merchant and he doesn't have any. Zarifa Lorezo, is looking for a shifter to help her with her self-imposed mission. Zarifa has to be careful, as she is an on-the-run-empress. Once she meets Rance, Zarifa knows that he cannot only help her, but can possibly be trusted with her secrets. Now if she can just pull this off. Rance has reason to disbelieve Zarifa when he finds out who she is, but reality does not seem to match the so-called facts. Both Rance and Zarifa know they have the future of the very empire depending on them reaching their destination and righting thewrongs of the past.
"Mad Dog Love" gives an intergalactic thrust into what can happen when one person decides to fight greed and lies. Zarifa has two lives, her public one that shows a party girl and her private one that now consists of her determination to right a wrong that happened before her birth. Rance was working on helping fight for the empire when he was captured. Rance and Zarifa came together while they had both been working for the same thing without knowing it. I was taken by the immediate flash and passion between them. I never know where Ms. Knight is going to take me when I open one of her books but I'm always willing to go there with her. In this case, I was pleased to find a couple who had no reason to believe each other, battling the odds and not only finding justice but a love that will take them across the galaxy.
"A Jaguar's Kiss" by Lora Leigh
Natalie Ricci, is a school teacher who decided to challenge the extreme odds and send in an application to teach the breed children. She never expected to be picked after so many months had gone by with no word. Saban Broussard, a grey jaguar breed with a Cajun voice knows just what he wants to do with Natalie, but his job is to bring her to meet with the Breed Ruling Cabinet and her new teaching job. Natalie believes herself to be a sensible person but Saban is about to drive her crazy. He's always around and the attraction is thicker every day. When the tension comes to a point and they share a kiss, Natalie learns there is more "fact than fiction" to the breeds then she truly believed. Saban knows that now not only does he have to show Natalie what she means to him but also to keep her safe as the council is just waiting for its chance to grab a breed mate.
"A Jaguar's Kiss" brings Saban the mate he has always wanted but doubted he would ever find. Saban is one of the breed enforcers working on security. He leaves for his job of escorting Natalie to the Cabinet only to discover his job is more personal than ever. Natalie has ended a bad marriage and is looking forward to a new life, it's looking up when she learns that she won the breed job. However, Natalie is much more concerned with the sexy breed who won't leave her alone. The differences between Saban and Natalie played off each other perfectly. I could feel the tension between them from the opening of the door the very first time and it never left. While Saban and Natalie are hot together, there are times that the subtle eroticism of a touch, look or even a statement can speak volumes. I found that Ms. Leigh has all with "A Jaguar's Kiss".
"Shifter's Lady" by Alyssa Day
Ethan is a panther shifter and the alpha of Big Cypress Pack. In the recent past, he has lost much but rather than living in the past, Ethan is going forward and is helping to lead his pack in helping those from Atlantis. Another thing on his mind is who is coming into his territory and killing panthers. Ethan is there to welcome the Bastien's sister. Marie, First Maiden of the Temple of the Nereids, has never left Atlantis but is anxious to meet the soul mate of her brother's. Marie knows the times are not the best for traveling but she just can't wait to see her brother again and meet Kat. However, right after arriving, it is not her brother or Kat that holds her attention but rather a sexy man who is very arrogant. Neither Ethan nor Marie could have guessed what this very first meeting would come to or how her simple visit would quickly be changed with the mixture of danger and a love neither expected.
"Shifter's Lady" brings two alphas together in a soul bound that is not to be denied. Ethan has lost one mate and does not expect to find anyone else to fit that area in his life for a very long time if ever. Marie has spent her entire life using her powers and training as the First Maiden and has never even left her homeland. Both Ethan and Marie are leaders in their own ways and when they meet and a furious attraction is felt, it remains to be seen what will happen. ... Read More

A great collection. Very sizzling love scenes. All of the stories were well written too, especially for short stories. It helps if you have followed some of the plots from the authors previous books, but even if you have not I think this would be a good steamy read. I enjyed all 4 stories and will look for more from all these authors.
