Review:
Spring Fever: Shifters in Love was a decent read and a good intro to new authors. Of the five, Lia Davis was the only one I’d read anything by before. I love shifters, though, so this book seemed right up my alley.
Cheetahs (a first for me!), bears, mountain lions, and a wolf–fun! Plus, each story was short enough to be read in a sitting, which is great when you’ve got a busy schedule.
Though they all were affected to differing degrees by the novella’s eternal complaint–being too short to really develop a full story satisfactorily–Spring Fever was an entertaining way to pass the time though some stories were more solid than others. They definitely improved as the book went on–the first story’s plot (An Unexpected Diversion) relied a bit too heavily on characters not bothering to have the obvious conversations for my taste, though it did have potential. Several of the stories utilized insta-love (or at least insta-lust), but with the excuse of the animal inside the shifter recognizing its mate, it’s a more palatable device than it might otherwise be.
The last two stories were my favorites (Bear Essentials and Match Made in Hell), even though the fact that the hero in Hell was a shifter was almost an afterthought–it definitely wasn’t as much of a plot point as in the other stories. He thought more about his wolf than we actually saw it in action.
If you’re looking for new paranormal authors, though, give this anthology a try. You just might find a new series to read.
Rating: 3 to 4 stars for individual stories–overall, 3 1/2 stars and a C+
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

Vella Day
Not only do I love to read, write, and dream, I’m an extrovert. I enjoy being around people and am always trying to understand what makes them tick. My books must have a happily ever after, and I need characters I can relate to. My men are wonderful, dynamic, smart, strong, and the best lovers in the world (of course).
You’ll find me most days on my chaise lounge with my laptop and my iced tea(unsweetened!) on the side table. I love to sleep in late and write into the wee hours. I also love FB, so you’ll find me on there, too!
I believe I am the luckiest woman. I do what I love and I have a wonderful, supportive husband, who happens to be hot!
Fun facts about me:
(1) I’m a math nerd who loves spreadsheets. Give me numbers and I’ll find a pattern.
(2) I’m addicted to taking pictures (I taught high school photo for 30 years). I plan to periodically post some of my favorites on my newsletter [so sign up!].
(3) I also like to exercise. Yes, I know I’m odd. Not only do I walk with different women each week, I teach Pilates twice a week at a local rec center, and lift weights the other days.
I love hearing from readers either on FB or via email (hint, hint). [velladayauthor@gmail.com]
In case you didn’t know, I also write as Melody Snow Monroe (www.melodymonroe.com)–erotic romance for Siren Publishing.

She thinks that life should require happily ever afters. And since she doesn’t make the rules of life, she instead applies this philosophy to the worlds she can control-the ones in her books.
