In CYNFUL we meet Cyn Reyes and Julian DuCharme. Julian is a powerful Spirit Bear -- very rare among shapeshifters. He believes Cyn is his true mate and is trying to convince her of that. She too feels the pull, but Cyn is human and doesn't want to give up being human without some fight and wants to be sure this is what she wants. To make sure they are truly meant to be together, Cyn tells Julian that she wants to date -- dinners, movies, chocolates, flowers -- the whole nine yards -- before she'll decide if she will mate with him.
CYNFUL is so much more than the love story of Cyn and Julian. We get to see some poignant moments of the two of them together on dates, as they are learning about each other and their relationship. There are some really fun moments in the book as well, that bring in several of the periphery characters who I hope we get to meet in more detail in upcoming books. There are also some very tense and scary moments in this book as the town and our main characters deal with a stalker who is hunting Cyn and her two best friends Glory and Tabby. All three women are involved with Bear shapeshifters who fight to keep them safe and team up with other shafeshifters in the area -- mainly the local Wolf pack and Puma pride.
I found CYNFUL to be a well-written, entertaining book. I was immediately drawn into the story and had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to keep reading so I could find out what happened next. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the serious so I can keep up with the Halle Shapeshifters!
Julian DuCharme, a rare Spirit Bear with legendary healing powers, is finally free from the threat of death, finally free to claim his mate—but she’s not having it. While his Bear screams it’s time to mate, the love of his life wants to date. Holding his Bear in check while convincing her he’s not out to control her won’t be easy. She’s stubborn and a closeted geek—in other words, perfect for him. Cynthia “Cyn” Reyes, owner of Living Art Tattoos, thinks Julian is the hottest thing on two legs. That doesn’t mean she’s going to roll over for his masculine charm. She watched her mother flounder when her father passed away, and she’s determined to never lose herself to someone else. Not even a man who would jump the moon for her, if she asked that of him. When the women of Living Art are targeted by a killer, Julian doesn’t think twice about pouring out his last drop of power to keep Cyn safe. But it’s Cyn who’ll give up everything—her independence, even her humanity—to keep a terrifying vision from coming true. One of his death. Warning: This novel contains explicit sex, graphic language, a tattooed heroine and the Bear who loves her. Maybe he’ll finally convince her to tattoo him with “Property of Cyn”.
