Review: Sean and Anton have been together a little over a year but this is their first Christmas meeting Sean’s Father. Anton is worried that his father won’t accept him since his is a Zodiac even if he is outcast. Sean thinks his family will accept Anton though Sean’s family has some secrets.
This story had so much potential but I think there was just too much going on for such a short story. I had so many questions once I was done, such as what kind of shifter is Anton. Why was he being hunted by the Zodiac if he was thrown out? What exactly were the Zodiacs and what kind of shifters? Why was Anton sent to capture Sean in the first place?
Now having said that and rating on just a romance and holiday story this was good. I loved how much Sean and Anton were in love and would do anything for each other. I am a sucker for sweet committed love and these two were amazing. I did love the twist near the end when Sean’s secret was revealed. This would be an excellent full-length novel or series.
If you like paranormal romance, urban fantasy, shifters, sweet committed romance, and some sensual man-sex this is for you.
