Mira is told by the Shifter Council she must choose a mate within 30 days; otherwise they will pick one for her.  Complicating matters is the fact that the only man she wants to mate is Josh, a human.  What happens sets the stage for a tragedy waiting to happen.

Favorite Obsession is the third book in the Royal Pride series.  Once the Alexander Pride chooses to settle where shifter cubs had been living as adopted children of humans, Mira is constantly around Josh as his daughter is one of the young children.  An old beau shows up, as well as the nephew of the man that had attacked Mira, as some of her suitors.

Josh has made up his mind Mira is his.  Even though he has been warned about a prophecy regarding Mira, he knows she is his.  Events in Josh’s life, such as the visit by the Golden Goddess after he is attacked, prove to be very interesting and it takes Devon to make Josh realize he is right.  Josh just has to listen to certain things going on.

Family always has a way of interfering and Mira’s is no exception.  In addition, things aren’t quite what they seem where the Council is concerned.  Everyone is trying to interpret the prophecy to their benefit and old enemies surface.  I wasn’t too happy with Mira’s family, much less Josh’s friends.  Things work out in the end, with a few questions left hanging, as well as one issue unresolved.

The chemistry between Josh and Mira is intense and when they get together it is explosive.  I was happy that they got together, though the events toward the end get very emotional and could be triggers for a few readers. 

I am looking forward to the next book.  Readers need to read the series in order to get the most out of the series.
