Liam is the Shifter other Shifters go to for issues. His father is 2nd in charge and he takes things further up if needed. He shifts into a big cat (he calls it a "Fae Cat"). Kim is a defense lawyer tasked with defending a Shifter, Brian, who was accused of murdering his girlfriend. Since, he's a Shifter and most humans look down on them, he must be guilty! Kim believes he is innocent and seeks Liam and the Shifter's help.
It turns out there are other things going on. Fergus, the head huncho, has told Brian to plead guilty and take the fall (for something he didn't do). Fergus also has a hate-on for the Morrissey's (Liam, his brother Sean, their father Dylan, and their nephew Conner). Fergus also happens to be an Alpha-hole. At the end of the day, it is about power and having all of it. Fergus also despised the Collars, which all Shifter's wear to dampen their animal instincts. It turns out he (and someone else) were behind experiments to remove the collars.
I did like this, but I also had some problems with it. I liked the Morrissey family and Kim. I liked most of the secondary characters (minus the obvious). I would have liked more world building. I do know the Shifters were created by the Fae and they got too numerous/strong for the Fae to control. They are out to humanity (hence the collars).
I did think this fell into many cliches of paranormal romance: Alpha-holes that see women as second class citizens (check), insta-love/fated mates (check). I didn't like Liam's disregard for Kim's body and they didn't talk babies. He just automatically assumed she wanted to get pregnant right away and pitched a bitch when he found out she was on birth control
