Kaitlyn Brunner's life is in shambles. Jobless and facing eviction, she returns to her lakeside hometown, hoping for a fresh start. Little does she know, her new position as a zookeeper's assistant will lead her into the arms of a beast who's more than he seems.
Coda, a werewolf prince cursed to spend most of his days in wolf form, is on the run. Betrayed by his brother and exiled from his pack, he finds himself captured and caged in a newly opened zoo. Wounded and wary, he catches the eye of kind-hearted Kate, who sees beyond his gruff exterior.
As Kate tends to the mysterious wolf, an undeniable connection forms.
But when the full moon reveals Coda's true nature, she's thrust into a world of shapeshifters, pack politics, and primal desires. Now, Coda must choose between the throne that's rightfully his and the woman who's stolen his heart.

Cute premise for this book, but extremely poor execution. First off, the timeline doesn't fit. We start off with the full moon and then what is presumably a few days later, we are back at the full moon again? Kate's sister Becca is missing, unclear for how many day at this point, but Kate never reports her missing. And sometimes, it'll feel like lots of time goes by in one POV but not in another. Kate loses her work ID but never seems to notice. How does a girl fall asleep in a wolf enclosure at a zoo and no one wakes her and asks her if she's out of her mind? And she doesn't question the fact that there is another person sleeping in the enclosure with her? You decided your in love with this person when you've known they were a human for less than 12 hours?
I also didn't know there were fated mates in this series because Coda refers to his betrothed as his mate and it doesn't come up about fated mates until three quarters of the way through the book.
The book is in multiple first person POVs but none of the voices have distinct voices.
I think all the elements for a good story are there, but the book needs some rewriting to get there.
