Jake Marino may have a tough exterior as a muscle-bound Muay Thai kickboxing trainer, but inside is a tender heart with a desire for love. He doesn’t expect that meeting leopard shifter Alex Butler would change his life.
As a young man, Alex was an exotic prostitute for a big-wheel Washington, D.C. federal prosecutor’s side business. These days, being a paralegal is more his speed. He enjoys his day job, but there’s something missing in his life. Love. As he looks to the future with the hope he sees in Jake, his past comes back to torment him.

Review: This is the second book in this series and although I am one for reading them in order, you can read them as standalone. Each book gives you excitement, suspense and danger. However it also gives you love. Now I must admit that this book was missing something to make it perfect. It comes off to fast paced and like it was a rush job. It doesn’t really take from the overall story though.
When Alex was younger, he was an exotic prostitute. It meant that he was a shape-shifter who had sex in certain forms and was requested for. He had gotten out after a few years and worked for a paralegal firm. The problem was his little sister had taken the same route. However for her, it ended with drug abuse then killed. He hadn’t seen her in a few weeks, so when the sexy new man he met lets him know about the young leopard being killed he knew. He also wanted to get to know the sexy man.
Jake taught fighting techniques and spent most of his time in shorts. He was new to town and was just getting used to it all. Then he meets a sexy man at the museum. They have their issues and one of them is to end the man behind the prostitution ring.
It goes to them meeting, falling in the sack, danger showing up and truth being told, fights and then love. I just think it moves to fast to get where they are at the end. I liked it and had a blast with it, but it is more description and not enough meat in it.
I hope the next one is a little spaced out with it all. It is a great start though.
