"fine Paranormal romance"
In Philadelphia, shapeshifter Maggie O'Shea would prefer to
avoid lunch with her former lover and mentor Marcus
Bocelli, but she knows her commitment to his Foundation
forces her to leaves the comfort of her Soul Provisions
shop to meet with him. She thinks back to how the
charismatic Marcus trained her in using her ability to mend
broken hearts through the purity of love. Marcus informs Maggie that the Foundation needs her to heal
management consultant Julian McDonald still mourning the
deaths of his wife and their young child in a Colorado
plane crash nine years ago. Though she demands to know why
him, Marcus fails to respond. Still she goes on the mission
only to find he heals her loneliness as much as she teaches
him that he still has the capacity to love others. As they
fall in love, Maggie and Julian must make decisions; he
feels the guilt of the survivor moving on and she doubts
anyone can truly love a person like her. Paranormal romance readers have plenty to cheer about as
Tor opens up a new line with the great Constance O'Day-
Flannery returning to the fold after taking a breather.
SHIFTING LOVE is a terrific tale due to the characters
making the otherworldly elements and themselves seems
authentic. Maggie and Julian are fabulous protagonists with
both having qualms that could easily derail their
relationship before it can fully forge on top of the
foundation of love. Marcus is an intriguing enigmatic
leader who fans will want more appearances by him. Welcome
back Ms. O'Day-Flannery and welcome to the sub- genre Tor
for if this collaboration is any indication, fans are the
winners. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
