Stalking Buffalo Bill

4-1/2 Stars
When William walked into the coffee shop he found a fan in Donnie and after many staring sessions, Donnie finally works up the nerve to talk to him beyond taking his order. Unfortunately, its the same day that two strangers come looking for William. Will Donnie and William ever get a chance to be more than server and customer and will they even survive long enough to get the opportunity to be more?

Stalking Buffalo Bill is a touching story, I hate to use the word "sweet" as there is just the right amount of drama, paranormal, and mystery to only label it "touching". One element that really made this story stand apart from other shifter tales is William being a buffalo shifter, not an animal often used in the genre and Donnie's coyote isn't often used either. The originality in their shifter forms really made this story pop for me making it more than just another shifter story to add to my library. A real plus👍.

William, afraid to open his heart once again keeps Donnie at arms length(or so he tries to) but Donnie won't be deterred too easily, hence the stalker part of the title. Considering the difficulties the duo face, Donnie adds just the right amount of humor to keep this one from getting too dark. There is a bit of an age difference but I really wouldn't go so far as to label it May/December in the romance tag but some might so I thought I should mention it.

Stalking Buffalo Bill is the first story I've read by J Leigh Bailey but it won't be the last and I look forward to checking out her backlist and future tales. A delightfully fun read with just the right amount of mystery and a touch of mayhem to bring the characters alive.

Love the play on words in this story
Donnie has been smitten with William since the first day he walked into the coffee shop Donnie works at. What he doesn't know is that the feeling just might be mutual. The two of them are thrust into each other's worlds by bad circumstance and Donnie tries to make lemonaid out of lemons, but William doesn't make it easy. He's domineering by nature and has a protective nature that comes across more like a warden. One can only hope they figure out the schematics of their volatile relationship before William's past settles the deal for them.

Loved the story, a different twist on the classic shifter tale that is so worn out as of late. I really do hope that there are more books in the 'Shifter U' universe. The story is intriguing and the narration definitely did the book and the characters justice. I loved the deep, sexy, baritone Finn Sterling used for William while giving Donnie an occasionally manic tone that totally fit his disposition.

If you're a fan of Shifter stories you have to check this one out, it's really good.

Thoroughly enjoyed this shifter romance! Donnie and William are adorable together. The story has a bit of mystery, some action and plenty of romance. I loved the characters and look forward to the next one!
