But when a fight at a club forces Aidan to protect the most alluring woman he’s ever seen, there’s no turning back.

Grace...
"Fun was not in my vocabulary. I should've known better than to try."
"College was my new start. It was the place I'd come to study biology, which had always been my favorite subject, and to figure out who I was and what I really wanted out of life."
"it seems everything was simply getting out of my way, preparing me for this, for Aiden and all that he is. This is where I was meant to be."
Aiden...
"I liked touching her, a lot. Too much. Everything I wanted to do to her was too much. I knew that and yet here we were."
"She was adorable. No, the punch of lust I experienced every time I looked at her sort of downplayed that word. But right now she looked like an innocent teenager in a hotel."
"Somewhere deep inside me I felt like I had no other choice."
"Our lips collided and it was like a whoosh of air being sucked from my lungs." "Inside the cat roared, it pressed its weight against me, its hunger the most prevalent thought in my mind. This is why I couldn't stay away from her."
Aiden Sanchez is a captivatingly appealing and mystifying character. I was drawn to him immediately by his leather and motorcycle riding. However, Aiden's secret is that he's a jaguar shadow shifter, who wants nothing more than to forget his heritage. Grace Kincaid is a soft, naive young woman, pursuing her dreams on her own at college. She is desperately trying to get away from her parents unending pressure, tight grips and their maniacal plots of accusatory formalities.
The story takes place on a college campus, full of life, and excitement, but there is also an heir of lust and darkness throughout the campus. The couple is thrust together by an undeniable force of mating. Though fighting their feelings was never an option. It just stands to reason that no matter what the circumstances, natures force cannot be denied. As is the case with Aiden and Grace. Like a magnet, they are drawn together in a whirl wind of lust and love. Although I would've liked more, this book was a good quick read, to surely give the reader a glimpse of indisputable enchantment...Grēta
