A Very Jaguar Christmas (Heart of the Jaguar #4.5) - Terry Spear

 A Very Jaguar Christmas by Terry Spear

Blurb:

There are all kinds of surprises under the mistletoe!

As a protector of all jaguar-kind, Guardian agent Demetria MacFarlane isn’t surprised to get a call near Christmas—but when she’s sent to protect a cub whose species she didn’t even know existed, her holiday season gets complicated. And it doesn’t help that her partner is a distraction of the hottest kind.

Hotshot JAG agent Everett Anderson can handle dangerous poachers and wildlife traffickers, no problem…but kids? Everett fears he’ll be stuck cub-sitting under the Christmas tree, but working with one sexy Guardian she-cat may be the best present he’s ever gotten.


The stuff legends are made of...

...or - do Werewolves exist?
I loved this book! Okay, the love story was rather straight forward but that was just the icing on the cake anyway. The main story was the story about a certain little pup that took everybody's heart by storm - and that revealed the existence of an unknown species to the amazed jaguar shifters in whose care he was left.

It is not a story with a lot of action, when I think about it, but it is a really sweet and charming story about two different species getting to know about each other and working together. And about a little boy bringing people together and for all of them enjoying a lot of the spirit of christmas along the way.

A real feel-good story for christmas with a lot of fluffy feelings going on and people being nice (mostly) and working together to help each other, always sweet and never too sappy.

In the end I felt that the love story was a bit rushed but hey, I'm not a jaguar, who knows how I'd feel about it if I was one? Perhaps then it would feel just right instead of rushed.
The book is well written, the characters well developed and like all other books by Terry Spears I also enjoyed reading this one a lot.
