BLURB:
Yes, I made a mistake, a really big one, but how long should I have to pay for it?
I mean, come on, being cursed to stay in my shifted form until my fated mate stumbles upon me? I wish there was another way to pay but when you do the crime, I guess you have to do the time.
Until then, I’ll be sitting here, a mustard yellow recliner that’s seen better days, a relic from decades past. My mate is out there, somewhere…I think… I hope.
But with each day that passes, it just doesn’t seem likely.
REVIEW:
Such a nice read, it was my first furniture shifter and I enjoyed it very much.
Cade is a recliner shifter who did a very bad thing when he was in his mid twenties and, because of it, a witch, Blossom, decided to teach him a lesson and trapped him in his shifter form for over 50 years.
He finally has the opportunity to break free from the spell when Maverick, a baker who just broke up with his boyfriend, buys the recliner from Blossom: Mav is instantly attracted to the chair, it smells like his favourite things, coffee and books and it’s also very comfortable.
So comfortable and with a very sexy smell that Mav can’t resist and pleasures himself on it.
When his seed makes contact with the recliner, the spell is broken: in place of the mustard yellow chair, Mav finds himself face to face with a handsome man.
It will take a little convincing and also a bit of magic to make Maverick believe that Cade is real, that he is a shifter and, more importantly, that they’re fated mates.
The physical scenes are intense: the bond between them, even if it’s not been sealed yet, is strong and put them very close, both physically and emotionally.
What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
I found very interesting the part about Cade’s struggles with living in a world he knows nothing about and I would have liked to have more of that (like the scene at the coffee shop).
I also found fascinating the different ways with which shifters’ bodies work and have intimacy, but the author just hints at them without explaining more.
The side characters, Sawyer and Blossom, are amazing and very supportive of both Cade and Maverick.
Definitely a lovely read, I recommend it!
