interesting but cliffhanger ish
Interesting premise and twist to this addition to the Paranormal Dating Agency world. But it’s very rushed, ends abruptly and we don’t get any villain punishment or answers.

It takes a thief
I wish I was Gerri Wilder, I could imagine all the fun I would have help people find their mates.
Great characters and storyline.

A thief in the night
If you are looking for a short fast read full of action and danger, this is the book for you. The author gives us a brand new breed of shifter with sass, and spunk, and a sense of curiosity that will either lead to her salvation or her doom. When she gets sidetracked on a job by someone shiny, she almost loses it all. I love this newest take on the PDA world, and the amazing journey to the HEA. I was left a little wanting at the ending, but I can always hope the author will give us another book. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

Racoon shifter Rita is impressive but she is unable to find her fated mate that that is making her sad so she contacts Gerri Wilder asking for help, but is told to wait until the time is right (whatever that means). So when she receives a message from Gerri she can only assume she took up her offer of services in return for help. What she expected was to steal something of value for Gerri, but what she encounters is a half-man, half-cyborg who is very sexy and just her type!
This is a good story along the Paranormal Dating Agency lines but with a very different twist when it comes to the race of those involved. There as a lot of drama and action as she did everything she could to rescue the man she encountered. It did end a little abruptly and it did feel a little more like a novella than a full-length novel. I definitely want to find out what happens next to this couple that could have a great future ahead of them (if they can survive all that is being thrown at them). Very enjoyable.

Different kind of shifter
I am always on the look out for a different kind of shifter and this author did that. The heroine is a raccoon and she got her man. I hope Rita appears again in future books because I absolutely love her.

I enjoyed this one, but I feel like the reason behind the physical changes in the H were totally glossed over, and his background was just thrown in at the end to wrap things up. These left me a bit confused, which is why I only gave it three stars.

Where's the rest?
Understand this book is technically a part of 2 different series, but why couldn't you finish the story? It's like reading a bad cliffhanger. There was just much left untold.

Cute short story
I liked this novella. I thought the idea of a racoon shifter was a fun choice. It was a very interesting twist on the PDA series.

Great
Love the PDA stories. Gerri Wilder does not make mistakes, even if it sometimes looks like she does. This story is different, but good.

Kind of felt a little disjointed and then left you hanging at the end. Why didn't they see Gerri? Meh

Is a Lily
Did not flow for me. Felt like a lot was just missing from the story line. Action left ??? Story ended like a hanger
