Shifting Love

I bought this book a second time after reading it years ago. I recently read part 2 and wnated to refamiliarize myself with the original. All books by this author are good and of you are into the paranormal, this is a good book.

Amazing

I loved, loved, loved this book! I thought the premise would be too contrived, but it actually turned out to be very creative and unique, and worked seamlessly. The heroine was incredibly funny and spunky and witty, and the hero was very yummy - vulnerable yet strong. My favorite was the scene where they first meet, at the silent auction - they had to much chemistry, it was a definite sizzle moment. This book had elements of Evelyn Vaughn's Grailkeeper Series, which I loved (even the heroines have the same first names). This is highly recommended.

shape shifting

This book was very much a surprise. I had only heard of shape shifting in regard to native americans. This was very interesting whether myth or true. It was a good read. I would recommend it highly.

About Shifting Love

Here is a brief description of this book from the distributor --Magdeline O'Shea owns a successful store in Philadelphia devoted to improving the mind, body and soul. A shape-shifter, she is part of a secret foundation responsible for keeping the world in balance since the Dark Ages. Maggie's true gift is teaching unhappy men how to love again. Maggie has helped seven men learn to love so far, and she's never fallen for her assignments...until now. Julian McDonald is a successful entrepreneur still dealing with the tragic deaths of his wife and child. Using her shape-shifting powers, Maggie discovers things about Julian to help her win his heart. Although their romance feels so right, she is bound by duty to let him go, because the plans for the balance of the world hinge on him. But Julian has his own ideas about his destiny, and they all include Maggie.

Way different but still a good read

I am HUGE fan of everything and anything of C.Oday Flannery. Everyone of her books is a keeper and her usual style as you may know is time travel.. This sure as heck is no time travel romance.. it is at times a shake your head and reread that last line to make sure you got that right kinda book.. I was hesitant and wary of the ideas of a shape shifter being believable.. but it was.. it was very well written and insightful.. Maggie the Shape shifter can transform herself from human to animal form with a thought.. where you think its totally unrealistic... Oday makes it real... her visual descriptions are excellent and makes it real in your head.. I love a book that allows my imagination to take shape what is written on the pages and this book does that.. Its weird but oddly believable.. its way out there in the realms of rational thinking but then who said we have to be rational all of the time.. I enjoyed this book.. i found the characters believable and well defined...The love story was beautiful and sensual.. it was hot and steamy and everything else good about a romance novel shape shifer or not.. As with all of Odays other books this too is a keeper on my shelf... For those loyal to the wirter .. you will enjoy it.. but then .. to each his own...
