Novelist Jorie Price doesn’t believe in the existence of shape-shifting creatures or true love. She leads a solitary life, and the paranormal romances she writes are pure fiction for her.
Griffin Westmore knows better—at least about one of these two things. She doesn’t believe in love either, but she’s one of the not-so-fictional shape-shifters. She’s also a Saru, an elite soldier with the mission to protect the shape-shifters’ secret existence at any cost.
When Jorie gets too close to the truth in her latest shape-shifter romance, Griffin is sent to investigate—and if necessary to destroy the manuscript before it’s published and to kill the writer.

I’m really surprised that I didn’t like one single thing about this book. I was in the mood for supernatural lesfic, been searching for something not as sexually aggressive as Radclyffe’s version, and I thought I’d try reading Jae’s version of it. I had been curious about this book off and on for a while, and Jae has never disappointed me in the past with some of her other books, so I thought this would be great. I thought wrong. In my opinion there was no connection here. These characters did not seem to connect on an emotional level at all. Their interactions were stunted and just not warm. There was no passion here, no heat.The Jorie character seemed immature and even though I was happy to see Jae branching out and being diverse by adding an Asian character, the character had no "character." Lol. I couldn’t really get a sense of Jorie, the only sense of her I got was a standoffish kid. She was really snarky, and immature to me. She came off cold and not very forthcoming with her feelings. Almost every single interaction with Griffin, with the exception of them making love was dry. I don’t have much to say about the Griffin character either. I couldn’t get a true feel for her; I kinda got an idea of how she looked and moved, but no connection with her.
As usual, Jae was spot on with the writing itself, that was great; you can tell she did research here. She actually created another world and developed it quite well. For that, she gets kudos; however, creating that energy between the characters and those sparks that was missing for me.
I’m actually very disappointed that I couldn’t get into this one. I hate to give Jae this low of a review, but if it isn’t there, it just isn’t there. So the search continues…

Second Nature edition by Jae Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Paranormal author Jorie Price craves freedom from reoccurring dream scapes as much as Saru shape shifter Griffin Westmore seeks liberation from confining captivity. Bound to a quantum field finding the way out becomes the greater mission for two enemies who altimently must work together. Along the way their feelings for each other challenge ideas, ideals and cultural restraints. A wonderful story for anyone wishing to grow their outer world or their inner world, or a world not yet known to them. I looked forward to this adventurous story every time I opened my book!
A highly enjoyable novel about shifters (Wrasa) secretly living among us and the human woman writing a lesbian romance novel about them which is unwittingly all too accurate. Despite the amusing premise and a number of quite funny scenes and bits (the liger shifter heroine nearly gets her cover blown due to setting off a human's cat allergy; a menacing lion shifter is maced with catnip and starts rolling around on the ground laughing hysterically), it's overall fairly serious, with high stakes and lots of intricate shifter worldbuilding. The Wrasa are more animalistic and less human than is usually the case nowadays, and Jae gets a lot of mileage out of exploring that.
Griffin, a liger soldier/assassin dedicated to protecting her society’s secret at any cost, is dispatched to investigate Jorie, the romance novelist, to find out why her in-progess novel is so accurate. (Jorie’s beta-reader is a Wrasa.) While posing as an expert on big cats, Griffin gets to know Jorie and her three housecats, and starts questioning her society’s priorities and her own mission, which is likely to end with her getting the order to kill Jorie. My common complaint about novels not following through on their premise is a complete non-issue here every aspect of the premise, including “What if I get ordered to murder an innocent woman who I think I might have a crush on?” is explored in satisfying detail.
This reads more like an urban fantasy novel from the 80s than like a typical paranormal romance. There are a number of important relationships other than Griffin/Jorie, and the antagonist gets his own POV. (The other relationships are great; the antagonist POV doesn’t add much, IMO, though at least he’s a well-meaning extremist rather than a sadistic psycho.) Though it does allow for all three POV characters, two of whom know anything about writing or publishing, to somehow instinctively know that lesbian fiction is “niche” and unlikely to sell well. I feel that this part just might be autobiographical.)
I liked this a lot and will read the other book set in the same world. It’s nicely plotted, the characters are interesting and fun, and the worldbuilding is really well-done.
