This round would have been so convenient last week when I was reading a romance about a cockatrice shifter. :P

[Pamela Su]

In my hunt for a non-bear/wolf shifter romance, I found Caged. Hamster!!! Too bad it doesn't meet the word count :(

A Shadow of Wings? Such a great book! I'm still hoping there will be a sequel!

DONE! MSG 4

[Dee]

Did the theme not appear at all? I'm confused by the 0/5 since RH is a well-known bdsm author

[Taya:)]

I just didn't consider this book BDSM. This was an actual slave/master world. The slave was actually rape and beaten to keep him in line not because he wanted it.

[SandyC]

I'm a little lost. What is the deadline to read these 2 books? Thanks!

No one else has asked this question and maybe that's because they read the category in the first round, or maybe I'm just dense, but should this really say "not a bear/wolf" to describe what shifter others should be?

[Pamela Su]

Oh lol. I just naturally picked a weird shifter type so I didn't bother to confirm the wording.

On a personal note, I consider the common shifter types used in romances to be: wolf, bear and cat species.

*Squeeeeee!* I hope you like Club Shadowlands. :) Cherise Sinclair is my all-time favourite BDSM romance author!

Ok, the bunny and the bear book looks absolutely fascinating. Adding that to my TBR.

yes it should - there is a second SS category that is bear/wolf - which is in another pairing

[Penney]

Ok, so I kept staring at "other" and wondering why wolf would be included but never bothered to ask...my bad. Glad I haven't posted my books yet, lol. Back to the drawing board.

Hi all, I requested another pair and this is what I got. I love books about shapeshifters although bdsm can be hit and miss for me. Still it could have been worse *eyes native romance* :)
Not sure what I will read yet... I think Beyond Shame for bdsm...

Cherise Sinclair is a great BDSM author. All the books I have read from her were a hit. I know what you are saying about the native romance. Mythological books for the win! I don't think I will be able to handle a third round with a native book.

I read a couple of books by Cherise Sinclair and they were nice. I am trying to clear up books I already own that's why I picked Beyond Shame. Although now I am thinking it might turn out to be too much for me and going with Beauty from Pain...
I am hoping native rom. will drop out until round 3...

[Dee]

crosses fingers NA makes it through! ;)

[Dee]

Dragana - have you tried Kallypso Masters - she has some BDSM books that are more onthe lighter side; Joey W. Hill is a favorite of mine as well

Got put on here, have to think but I know that I will be doing Old Loyalty, New Love for Shape shifter other a Werejackal hmm BDSM thinking Pony.

Just to make this clear, I could read a lion-shifter book for this category but not a wolf shifter?
