Rendezvous With A Romance

An interesting plot and a passionate love affair weave together to make a story that is definitely a page-turner. Shapeshifters and Fae are mortal enemies.  Four Imnada (shapeshifters) have been cursed by one, a curse that forces a shift as the sun sets taking away their choice and their freedom until the sun rises. Bianca is a human woman who has sworn off entanglements with men after her abusive husband dies.  Bianca and Mac meet at the burial of a mutual friend, though Bianca has no clue that her dead friend was a shifter. Mac investigates his friend's death and the mysterious woman who shows up to pay last respects. They both want to solve a murder but they are also drawn to each other, though both obviously fight the attraction.  Mac comes to see the underlying depth to Bianca's character; that she hides from the world under her "Ice Queen" visage. He aids her in dealing with her nightmares and she saves him from the evil plot of a female Fae who wants to kill the four shifters that her father cursed before his death.  Their adventure takes them in and out of London, as they search for a way to break the curse and catch a killer.  He almost loses her when he isn't careful with what he says to a friend and she almost loses him to the evil machinations of the female Fae and to the cure for the curse.  It was an enjoyable read. It had compelling characters, an entertaining plot and conflict, and a believable villain.  It had enough emotional tension and passion to keep me turning the page till the very end.
