If you want to read a complex, hot, romance, this is definitely a good choice. Within Reason has a fascinating shapeshifter world, conflicts and obstacles galore, two seriously hot men truly devoted to one another, and a woman who falls in love with them both.

For Isabo and Trey this is a second chance at love. In the past, she had been drawn by his sexual fire yet confused because he loved Niko, another shapshifting warrior. She’d chosen to bond with another man. But she’d never forgotten Trey. When her bonded mate dies, she finds she might have another chance with Trey.

As before, Trey will never give up Niko, his male lover. Yet he has long dreamed of having Isabo in his life. He is torn and wants them both. Niko, in turn, wants Trey above all others, although he is drawn to Isabo now as well. Their society is concerned about the two male lovers and when Isabo is added into that mix… Well, you need to read the story to find out what happens.

Agent Mara Brannigan is on a mission to bring in the Captains Fredrick Ravenscraft. She finds her marks but begins to have doubts. Mara is tired of being alone and these two men may be just the thing she is longing for. Can Mara keep her heart safe as well as her job?

This quick read did not pull me in too much. I enjoyed the heroes and the depth of their emotions but found it hard to connect with Mara. As hot as the love scenes were I just could not feel the love that was proclaimed between the characters. I did like the other parts of the book. I enjoyed the space parasites and the fight scene very much.

As a short read this was a nice introduction to find out whether or not the reader enjoys these writers and their writing styles. If you enjoy science fiction with a bit of romance thrown in you may want to try this book out.
