About The Book
Faith and Tala’s fake relationship turns real, but can their love survive the secrets they’ve been keeping? Find out in the gripping conclusion to Jae’s paranormal lesbian romance.
After a carefully staged fake relationship brought them together, fox-shifter Tala and human Faith are no longer enemies. Now they’re allies working toward peace between their species, and they tell themselves that’s all they are.
But Faith can’t help thinking Tala’s interactions with her six-year-old daughter are the cutest thing ever, and Tala’s fox seems to have already chosen Faith as her mate.
Pretending to be a couple grows more complicated when a kiss for the paparazzi ignites sparks that feel anything but fake.
But when an anonymous letter reveals a dark secret from Tala’s past, the old distrust creeps in again.
Tala and Faith must decide: Can they risk everything to embrace the shifting nature of their relationship, or will fears and betrayals tear them apart for good?
Shifting Nature finishes the two-book saga that started with Enemies by Nature. While part of Jae’s shape-shifter series, they can be read independently of previous books.
The Review
This is the second book following Tala and Faith – you should read book one, Enemies by Nature, first. This book picks up where book one ended and it was quite a thrill ride up until the end.
We left off with Tala and Faith having spent the weekend with the pack for Tala’s brother’s engagement, a weekend where Faith had a firsthand look at what being around the Wrasa was like. She was sent by her father to plant a bug, but her conscience got the better of her, and her feelings for Tala and the Wrasa had changed, so she didn’t go through with it.
Faith grew up with her father’s hatred toward the Wrasa as a growing cancer, something that Faith began to question. Everyone at the engagement treated her like family, believing that she and Tala were true mates, never expecting that the mate scent was fake. Now Faith and Tala keep are to convince themselves that their feelings are not real, until they can’t hide them anymore.
Faith questions her own feelings when she gets a letter accusing Tala of murder. As she and Tala are on their way to a gathering that would have helped bring about the Wrasa Rights Pact, ensuring all Wrasa were treated the same as humans, Tala reveals that the letter is true. Faith bolts and runs back to her father.
Even with what she has learned, she still can’t betray Tala until they have a chance to talk about it. But she won’t have time to talk, because a bullet comes through the window and hits her father. Evidence shows that a fox shifter was responsible for the shooting, which leads the authorities to go after Tala.
Did the person responsible for mailing the letter also commit the shooting? Was it a Wrasa or a human? Tala and Faith finally realize that their mate scent is real, but there is so much hatred directed at them that it seems impossible for there to be any hope of a relationship.
This is not just a story about Tala and Faith. It’s also a story about hatred when anyone who is different becomes a target. It seems very timely.
It’s is also a story of acceptance.
Five stars.
