REVIEW: The Snow Leopard's Heart by Zoe Chant
Summary:
Curvy Nina Williams has given up on finding a family. Ever since she was kicked out of her parents’ house for being a shifter, she’s been searching for a pack that will accept her—with no success. Finally, she heads to the middle of nowhere to live out her life alone. She’s learned the hard way that she can’t trust anyone, so she’s just going to have to rely on herself.
Snow leopard shifter Joel Miller has everything he’s ever wanted in his life: his dream job of being a park ranger, and a cabin deep in the mountains to fix up and call home. He’s never wanted to let anyone get too close, not even his family, so his lonely cabin is perfect. But one day he scents a strange leopard nearby. And then the new waitress in town catches his eye.
Nina is shocked to find another snow leopard in her lonely getaway—and even more shocked to realize that Joel is her mate! Can Nina learn to put her trust in others, and accept that she’s found her pack? And can Joel open his heart to Nina after keeping it closed off for so long?

Thoughts:
Nina is a skittish cynic, though with darn good reason. She's resourceful, persistent, and strong. Joel is a protector, while also being a little cowardly. They are both loners and have a stubborn streak a mile wide, but Joel can just plainly be a jerk sometimes. He's afraid of the mate bond and she's afraid of being rejected, so you can imagine their issues. The resolution was satisfying, but I still didn't love these characters as much as previous ones.
The romance itself is good - cute even. They really make sense and you can just feel that. My favorite part is actually a conversation that Alethia and Nina have while my least is Joel's run. Oh and I really enjoyed Nina's final confrontation with her parents, though that's left a little open ended.
While all these books stand alone fine, this one in particular is actually helped by having read at least the last book, about Zack and Teri. It's also great that it definitely leads up to Cal.

Bottom Line:
The Snow Leopard's Heart is gratifying, despite how anti-social both Nina and Joel are, with great character growth through some very foolish moments.
