In the world of shifter romance the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Without reservations I highly recommend this book and the series.

Tess Demakis, unlike her twin sister Hallie, is not crazy about living in New York City; she much prefers the country. Tess is a wolf shifter, and the big city cramps her style, so she is delighted to spend the Christmas holidays at her brother-in-law’s country inn for paranormal guests. At 25, Tess is of age to find a mate, but she is yet to find a wolf shifter that appeals to her; besides she is shifter royalty. And the gloriously sexy Patrick O'Hearn is definitely not it: he is a bear shifter, and bear shifters are not allowed to shift in the big city. But it’s obvious when Tess and Patrick first meet, that they are destined to each other; all the signs, the electricity, the magick are there, but it could never work, could it? What an excellent book! Krystal Shannan never ceases to amaze me! UNWRAPPING TESS is a novella, and yet there is a lot of material in there: romance, super sexy times, action, and a real Christmas atmosphere! Ms. Shannan’s shifter world is so meticulously constructed, that it all appears possible, and natural and there are again interesting spins on shifters. Patrick and Tess are both very engaging characters and their chemistry is off the charts, and even though there is that instant attraction, they really have to work at it. I love Ms. Shannan’s writing: her prose is fluid and effortless, and the dialogues sound genuine. UNWRAPPING TESS is simply terrific! It’s a very enjoyable read that left me smiling and wishing for that kind of family Christmas! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This entire series was the bomb! I loved it. I hope she writes Halle's story next.
