Bee Cave Magic<\/a><\/em> (2020) Kelly Fox<\/p>\n

\"Bee<\/a>Micah is a dud.<\/p>\n

He’s 25 and never shifted, which means that he avoids his long-time crush, Rex, like the plague.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a non-shifter, and he knows as well as I do that shifters and non-shifters should never date or fall in love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, coming from a family of carnivore shape-shifters, he is unable to eat meat, which is just one more way he is a complete disappointment to his family. Which is why he lives in an old trailer and works at the family BBQ restaurant.<\/p>\n

My life would be a lot simpler if I could eat meat and dairy, but they don\u2019t agree with me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First, I love that there are a variety of shifters in this world.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Hornblower, a pelican shifter transplant from Corpus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t love the idea of fated mates, but at least the concept isn’t seen as mandatory by Rex.<\/p>\n

I also love that neither character would be found on the cover of any romance novel.<\/p>\n

I spin around to find Rex the Hot Bear Shifter standing in the doorway, wearing his Bee Cave Honey Company T-shirt, letting his eyes freely roam all over my body. <\/p>\n

The way his T-shirt rounds against his belly is\u2026 yeah. He\u2019s just as yummy-looking as he\u2019s always been.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My sole issue with the story was that it felt somewhat unfinished. It wasn’t–the story arc was complete– but I wanted just a little bit more, to be satisfied.<\/p>\n
