She is very independent and sensitive that she is unable to shift, but her empathy has given her knowledge that someone is in mortal danger.

Shifters, Magic, a magic pendant, a stolen fae and what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…….maybe!
Stolen Surrender is the first book I have read by Nola Robertson and I thought it was really well written. The story was interesting and engaging with a solid story-line and well developed characters. There was not only romance but also suspense, danger, magic and some hot sexy times. So all in all I did enjoy reading this book and will read more by this author.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This was a great book to read because you have a great secret, there are shifters around us all, there are special police officers that are shifters, and boy are they hot! It was fun to read with the way the characters all reacted and played off each other. Great characters! I love snarky people and relatives bring out the most snark! Loved the story line.
