First, let me go back to the whole concept of these books. All these paranormals are at the UPAC Conference where the elders trick them into drinking a magic drink, and giving them 24 hours to find a mate outside their own species to re populate the species, or something like that. SO, let me just say, since all these books are m/m or m/m/m, that whole re population plan seems a bit hinky to begin with, but what do I know. They are not allowed to leave the conference until they are mated, and have mating seals on their bodies. If they don't mate in 24 hours they go feral.
So hear is where I am finding these books a bit disturbing, you have all these paranormals running around and basically mate raping other paranormals. The first couple books in the series the two people sat and talked and agreed to mate, but in this one Shea (a 4000 year old deer shifter) is basically mate raped (no sex) but mated by two vampires against hid will. He goes to an elder to complain about being forced, and the elder basically says "Suck it up buttercup" Okie Dokie then...
Oh course he is really pissed off, and the two vampires are really sorry, but he isn't forgiving them, which leads to the next part of this disturbing story. One of the rules to these mating are that they have to have sex every 24 hours until the next leap year conference, so four years. Sex every day for the next four years??!! I like sex as much as the next person, but man that's a lot of sex especially since Shea has two mates. So basically because of this rule, Shea has cold emotionless sex with the two vampires, basically treating them like whores. I didn't like it, in fact it made me dislike Shea more then the two vampires, because the drink they were given made their fangs come out a attack Shea.
In any case we get past all that and the book turns into a really sweet (with dirty parts) read, and I ended up really liking all involved...
