Blurb: Toby’s happy with his life in the small fishing village of Haggenby. At least, he thought he was. When he rescues a Selkie who identifies himself as Flirt in sign language–not so much a name as a warning label, as Toby’s father notes–he’s forced to recognize he’s withdrawn from the world, and the world thinks it’s because he lost his hearing in his teens.

Stung, Toby takes Flirt out on a date, but that attracts the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people: scientists keen to dissect Flirt and prove the existence of the supernatural. Flirt is kidnapped and Toby must attempt a daring rescue if he wants to keep his lover. He just hopes his lover wants to be kept.

Review: I am not really sure about this story. It just comes off as pretty bizarre. I did like it though. It was a bit cute just too short. I did love the way the characters were created. They are so loveable, tender, and sweet. They had the abilities to overcome all obstacles and turn them into rewards.

Toby is a bit of a recluse. Staying by himself as much as possible except when he is with his father. Out fishing, he came across a human, who wasn’t a human at all. He was a Selkie. They can be kept on land if you hide their Selkie skins from them and they are drawn to those who need something. When Toby helps Flirt, he realizes he likes him. More than likes him, he is falling for Flirt. Flirt is falling for Toby also. There is a danger that has been hunting Flirt, and now the danger is there. Scientist that want to cut Flirt open and study him. Toby will do anything to keep his man safe. They both will do anything to keep the other safe, but Toby doesn’t want to lose Flirt.

It does have a very cute storyline that you will like. I love the way that there is a different type of Shapeshifter in this story then the ones you normally hear about. I like the new world created by Mina. She has a gift for storytelling and I wish to read more of her books. This is book two in this series and you should really read book one to get a hang of the characters. To understand the world they live in and where they come from.

Blurb: When a theft goes wrong and Jared finds himself under arrest, his daring escape results in an extra passenger. Richard Kuiper the Seventh does not appreciate being magnetically handcuffed to a common criminal, even if he does enjoy the chance to indulge his sexual appetites guilt free.

Hiding out with some old friends of Jared’s while they attempt to unlock the handcuffs, a bond grows between the two men that’s more than magnetic, but Jared’s initial mistrust comes back to haunt him. When the cuffs are removed Richard storms off, straight into a trap, and now Jared must decide what he’s willing to risk for a man he’s barely known for a week: his life, certainly, but his heart? He’s never risked that before.

Review: Jared finds himself in a tough spot when he is cornered by police. But, his daring escape plan goes awry when he finds himself handcuffed to his hostage. Richard isn’t amused to find himself kidnapped, but his kidnapper is not at all what he is used to. In fact, being magnetically handcuffed to him for a few days could be an adventure. The connection between the two is strong, but Jared’s plan B blows up in his face and Richard leaves him the second the cuffs are off. Discovering Richard has been kidnapped again, Jared has choices to make. Can Jared risk his freedom to rescue Richard?

This is a great science fiction and opposites attract story throwing in some danger and just a touch of political maneuvering. Jared is a thief, getting caught in the Field is not an option and his escape plan brings him more trouble than he thought. But, spending the escape journey in close quarters to the sexy hostage, Richard, brings its own opportunity and Jared just might regret it. Richard is an important person. When he is kidnapped, he uses it as an opportunity to shake off the restrictions in his life and his unusual kidnapper has piqued his interest. Both men take the opportunity that fate has handed them. But, problems arise when Jared’s plan B is discovered and Richard is snatched in a bid to start a war.

I quite enjoyed this story with its opposites attract and science fiction setting. Both Richard and Jared are great characters, who connect even though they are both completely different. The development of their relationship is fast and, at first, quite surprising considering the circumstances. The sex between them is detailed and quite erotic and adventurous, and their feelings for each other shine through and both their actions show it clearly. The storyline is great and the settings interesting. The detail and imagination that goes into them gives you a glimpse of what could be; the way that even though Richard is rich just simple fresh fruit and vegetables thrills him, while Jared is more blasé because he has them more often. I loved the way that Jared was willing to give everything up for Richard and that Richard would do anything to make sure Jared was safe, true love on both sides.

I will recommend this to those who love science fiction, opposites attracting, hot sex, potential rebel maneuvering, danger, daring escapes, daring rescues, forgiving idiotic plans and a very happy ending.
