Alix Godard is new to Aspen Colorado; she's from France and is a Sommelier (wine steward) at the Silvermont Lodge. After an accident, while hiking, Alix is somewhat unnerved and doesn't understand why. She has no idea that behind the glitz and glitter of the fairy tale town she now calls home, there is something other ... and she will soon see an ASPEN SHIFT in her way of thinking.
Kynan Byrne is a shifter, actually a very large dog. Part of what he does in Aspen besides being an accountant is as a protector. He has the ability to protect non-shifters from possible violence from shifters especially werewolves. That is what sent him to Alix's side, his instinct, but what keeps him there ... is his heart.
Alix believes that everything in Aspen is looking so much better, until Kynan tells her about the dark side of her new world. She is endangered by a werewolf stalker and the only thing Kynan can do is offer his protection and hope for so much more. He is all she can turn to, which isn't all bad.
ASPEN SHIFT is a fantastic little story with a different taste of paranormal. I enjoyed meeting Alix and seeing a little of her wine world and I loved Kynan. He's the perfect shifter; protective, tough and yet tender. My biggest problem with this book is that because it was so short a lot of details were left out. There are hints that all was not well in France when she left and I would have loved to hear more about why the werewolf had such a fixation for Alix. I can only hope that author Lindsay McFerrin plans for more books, ones hopefully longer, along this line because what is here is a very compelling read.
Paris native, Alix Godard, seeks adventure by taking a job
in a new country, but a solo hike in the mountains of Aspen,
Colorado brings her to the brink of death. A mysterious
being appears out of nowhere and shields her from a wolf
attack. Suddenly life as Alix knows it is forever altered.
When she accepts an invitation from dashing Aspen native,
Kynan Byrne, to show her around town, her strong attraction
to him becomes tainted with fear and mistrust when he seems
to have detailed information about her fall on the mountain
trail to which he should not be privy.
Alix is stunned to learn Aspen holds not only beauty but an
entire world she never knew existed--the dangerous world of
the Shifters. Whoβand whatβis Kynan Byrne? Is Alix's wildly-
handsome and wealthy suitor predator--or protector?
