Review: Sealed with a Kick

Sealed with a Kick by Zenina Masters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is too cute to pass by. I love seals. A baby seal is too adorable and I just want to hug it and love it. Unfortunately for Berry, she is all woman in human form but baby seal in shifter form. Can we say, awkward? Wait, is Ms. Masters trying to slip in a little AB? (no pun intended) No, this book is not AB at all because there is no kink. What the book does provide, is a sweet romance between another lovely shifter and fae pairing.

This story is very fast and sweet. Berry may have a chip on her should but she does find a totally compatible mate in Ashko. Ashko is not as memorable as Berry but that is okay. Sometimes one mate is more notable.

The challenges Berry faces in this story may make a few readers feel ill at ease, but for me, it was nicely done. The juxtaposition of an adult upon a young "child" is well crafted. The youthful exuberance in Berry's shifter form is infectious. Ashko's treatment of both forms shows his acceptance of Berry's two parts into a whole. Whereas Berry's pack's alpha was a creepy pedophile.

I am still really enjoying the water shifters arc and can't wait to read the next book. Recommended for water lovers who enjoy a sweet paranormal romance.
