When they were young together back in their werecat pride, Bowie and Channing experimented with love and sex, as well as flirting with a threesome with their best friend Emma. Channing and Emma both ran from their needs, leaving Bowie to break away and find his own life. Now a confident Dom, Bowie discovers Channing again through a video of a consummate sub, one Bowie knows he needs to find once more.

When Bowie shows up on his doorstep, Channing feels like a teenager again, all confusion and need. He doesn’t date his own kind, only humans, and he’s not in the market for a full-time Master. Bowie is impossible to deny, a force of nature, and while both men know they’ll have to think about Emma eventually, now is the time to see if they can get to know and love each other all over again.

Once again, I am surprised by a short story.   I love when I’m proved wrong (or at least guilty of preconception) and an author with a gift for the story in compact form, delivers.  With heart.   And shifters.  And ménage.  Oh My…

 

In crisp and efficient fashion, B.A. Tortuga uses “Deconstructing Channing” to bring the reader to speed about the three main characters, and then wisely, delivers the goods on only two of them.   The reader is never allowed to forget there is a third member of this intended mating, but “getting-there-from-here’ is going to be a tactical undertaking.

 

The story moves from background revelations of a triad of scared and confused kids…or kits in this case…and plunks them into the here and now of two scared and confused albeit experienced adult werecats, and of one determined and more- than-ever, dominant Alpha.    

 

Fates, the internet and an 8 x 10 glossy triangulate to provoke Dominant Bowie to mount phase one of his frontal assault on beta Channing.  With relative ease and some seriously frequent and inventive sex, exploits the connection that never truly faded and returns Channing to His.   Mate.  

 

It’s fast, it’s furious, it’s incredibly sexy and it works.   It’s the perfect implementation of Plan A for the extremely likable characters, and a read that, despite it’s brevity, is fully realized.

 

I liked it.   A lot.   And I await Emma’s fate in the next offering, though from the description, I suspect she won’t roll over as readily as Channing.  And won’t that be fun?
