| Dana and her fiancé decided while standing at the altar in front of a few hundred of their closest friends that they just didn't want to be married to each other. Now instead of flying off to the Caribbean for lots of sun and sex, she's on a shrouded island off the coast of Maine with her best friend. The Wiccan Haus is supposed to be a healing and spiritual retreat for those seeking peace. Rekka is the last of the black tiger shifters and head of security for the Para owners of The Wiccan Haus. He knew immediately that Dana was his mate, but he will never force the bond. He has a week to convince Dana to put aside her human beliefs and stay with him forever.
Shifting Hearts is a great little find. I am so tickled I found these wonderful characters that make up The Wiccan Haus. They were quirky, diverse and very intriguing. Ms. Eastwick's writing style pulled me into the story immediately and never lost my attention for a second. Of course the fact that she wrote some amazingly hot and erotic love scenes didn't hurt. What really made the story so great was the fact that even though the characters were both damaged in their own way, no one played the martyr card. The noble "Oh, I'm not good enough for you" scenario never occurred and I was thrilled. This was a very well written, straightforward paranormal romance that depended on the story and the characters to hook the reader not unnecessary and frustrating dramatic angst. Don't get me wrong, there was lots of honest emotion from Dana and Rekkus. It wasn't all smooth sailing, but the roadblocks to their relationship weren't drawn out and over utilized in order to meet a word count. I really, really hope to see a full length novel involving these characters. Job well done.
