Tough Shift by Godiva GlennMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Carmen is ready for love and so asks matchmaker Gerri Wilder for help. She is on her way to achieving that when her future mate disappears. Searching to find him she is then kidnapped and trapped in space where she is forced to have painful treatments to change her DNA. While there it becomes clear that although she was only supposed to have one person as her mate, science and the treatments mean that she actually has more as they become awakened. After gaining freedom and recovering she is pressed to make a choice between them. Does she choose Pierce - the original mate and a rising fighter in the Aurora Champions League; Coy, a smart-ass with wanderlust; and Nathan, the average sweet guy next door. The only thing they have in common is being stolen from Earth to be lab rats under a deranged scientist obsessed with shifters. By the end of their torturous ordeal, they’ll be bound through something much deeper. Carmen’s heart is torn, but she can't avoid the inevitable. Which of the shifters pursuing her is her true soul mate?
I understood the story and the plot twist, however, I really did not enjoy the way the story morphed into a reverse harem and the way she seemed to torture both herself and the three men as she dithered over what to do. I get her entire attitude to the original mate to be very poor as she had no empathy nor any kind of understanding of how he might feel about the entire situation and how he might feel. It was well written enough that I could understand what was happening but I struggled to feel how the lead character Carmen felt as I could not understand why she felt as she did and why. Contains some explicit sexual content.
