I have been searching for a ram shifter book for awhile. I wanted to read something with a ram shifter to celebrate being an Aries and moving into Aries season. I also needed a cowboy romance to complete one of the challenges I'm doing this year, so this seemed absolutely perfect. It quickly devolved into a hate read.
The puns are amazing!!! The dog that talks, amazing!! A woman named Mary running a lamb farm and have a coyote ex-husband, such a great start.
BUT I had to check the publication date MANY times. I could not believe that a book published in 2018 had so much fat phobia and slut shaming. Simultaneously. It tells me I've been very insular with my reading choices, but like, I'm ok with that if it means I'm avoiding books with fat phobia and slut shaming.
I could go on. I have 25 highlights in this book and I didn't make a single one visible. 2 are just excellent punny chapter titles! 2 are heaving bosoms found in the wild. But the other 21 are cringy moments or just blatant contradictions in the text. It got rough there for a minute.
Overall, it's very short and it absolutely does fit the prompt of cowboy romance and ram shifter, which was ultimately what I was looking for. Buuuuuuut that's about it.

A world where the paranormal people live out in the open but still the majority of humans don't believe in their existence. I always liked this concept and seeing it on Ram Rugged was fun and entertaining.
This was my first book by Melissa Thomas and I can say with satisfaction that she filled my expectations in a way that makes me want to read more of her work.
Mary is being harassed by her ex-husband, which so happens to be a coyote shapeshifter, killing her sheep. Problem? She owns a sheep ranch.
Demitri is a ram shapeshifter immortal that has been cursed to wander around, looking for his mate. When this two connect, Oh my...
The chemistry between these two is incredibly high and I love how Melissa Thomas told the story.
Not only the plot is very interesting, the hook is right there at the end of Chapter One, at least for me. I can't help it, a good scene with humor in it always leaves me happy and wanting to read more about the couple that just found each other for the first time.
I can hardly wait. I know the next book is already out on Amazon so I guess I won't wait at all and pick it up.
I would recommend this story to those lovers of shapeshifters and romance, and a little bit of Mythology *wink*
