Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Nathan works at the bulk store. He particularly enjoys when one of the regular customers, Vince, comes to buy birdseed for his feeders. He also feels a bit guilty. The reason? Nathan is responsible for Vince buying a lot of that birdseed. He is a squirrel shifter. Nathan’s favorite pastime and obsession is shifting into his squirrel form and watching Vince from on top of the bird feeders. How can he deny his squirrel self some of the birdseed and nuts that happen to be in the bird feeder? It is just an added benefit of watching this hot man walking around in his house half dressed.
One day, Vince catches the squirrel sitting on top of one of the feeders. Tired of having the furry creature stealing the seed from the birds. Vince throws a shoe at the squirrel, knocking him down to the ground. Thinking that the little guy is seriously injured, Vince feels guilty and takes the squirrel inside. Getting nowhere after calling a vet, Vince decides to nurse the squirrel back to health. After the squirrel fails to escape through a window, Vince is surprised when Nathan emerges from his squirrel form. Nathan wonders what Vince will think of him now that his secret has been revealed.
This was a cute short story. The author brings us a different form of shifter and uses his nature well. There is a focus on nuts in all shapes and sizes. Nathan is as timid as his animal nature. The scenes once Vince discovers Nathan’s secret are steamy and flavorful. Vince’s occupation is put to good use. The one thing that I did not like about this book is that neither character seems to have a last name revealed. For me personally, I like characters to have full names. It seems to make them more real to me.
The cover art by Ana J. Phoenix is quite appropriate. It shows a squirrel clinging to a trunk of a tree. It is a very cute cover for the book.
