Overall this was an enjoyable series. I'd say more of a 3.5. Thankfully I didn't fall into the trap of reading the first book only to realize the series was incomplete. If you aren't a fan of love triangles, I'd suggest shying away from this one. The premise wasn't exactly novel: girl wants to escape from familial responsibility, runs away, comes home, falls in love and finally stays and assumes said responsibility. However, there was a paranormal element of course, girl happens to be a shifter (wolf). No fall off the elliptical moments for me. In terms of steamy scenes, several that would fog the shower glass, none that would also fog the mirrors and windows.
