True Nature is a gripping lesbian paranormal romance about family bonds and being true to yourself. This second novel in Jae’s award-winning Shape-Shifter series can be read as a standalone.

When wolf-shifter Kelsey Yates discovers that Danny, a fourteen-year-old shape-shifter, is living with an adoptive human mother, she is sent to protect the pup and get him away from the woman.

Successful CEO Rue Harding has no idea of her son’s true nature or that Kelsey, the beautiful, mysterious private tutor she hires for him, isn’t really there to teach him algebra.

But when the deaf teen runs away, Kelsey and Rue frantically work together to find him before his first transformation sets in and reveals the shape-shifters’ secret existence to the world.

It’s a race through New York City, with emotions running high. But amidst the backdrop of their desperate search, could the two women discover something else, something unexpected, in each other?

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024

True Nature by Jae kept me up all night reading because I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. If this was a movie, you’d be throwing your popcorn in the air from all the twists and turns.
The main characters all undergo huge paradigm shifts in every aspect of their lives. Buckle your seatbelt, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
There is danger, secrets, fear, lies, mistakes, regret, insecurity and they all make a dangerously volatile cocktail indeed. What’s the antidote to all those destructive ingredients? The counter agents are bravery in different forms like learning from mistakes, stepping up to do what’s right- especially with opposition, and engendering the best in ourselves and our loved ones.
Jae shows the power of family- both blood and chosen. I love the shape shifter character as an allegory for changing in life. I love the story because even with so many elements pulling the characters apart that at its’ foundation this is about love. Love is the invisible super magnet that stills the chaos. I can’t wait till the next adventure!

Who knew Rue would turn out to be who she was as the story progressed. This is my favorite book of the series. I enjoyed reading about Rue. I didn’t care very much for Danny at all. It took a while to car about what happens to him. But I finally did. Although, I think it went on for far too long, the New York part. I wasn’t impressed with Paula, at all.

I am glad that I got to know more about Kelsey. She intrigued me from the first book. Now, it makes perfect sense why she didn’t submit to the Alpha when he pressed her. Good for her. But Rue…

Jae is tying stories of her first two books to maybe show that family is not just blood related! Jorie has a vision and her mate a liger sends Kelsey a wolf shape shifter to find a young boy named Danny who doesn't know he is the same as Kelsey. So starts a tale of questions from his adopted mother as to why someone wants to take her son away from her. Enjoy!

Jae did an amazing job with this one! There was plenty of page turning action. The fear you felt for the characters as they faced off death. The surprise revelation about Danny. The love you felt between the main characters. And Jae even brought in her couples from the pervious books! Jorie and Griffin, Shelby and Nayla. 10/5!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A paranormal adventure that leaps off the page and sweeps you along!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016

From the cooling forests of North Carolina to the catacombs of underground New York City a gripping adventure shifts into high gear testing the bonds of family bonds, loyalty and love. Special needs teenager Danny is caught between conflicting cultural and creature challenges nearly costing him his life. Add into the mix a perfectionist mother and shape shifter tutor who are also struggling with cognitive dissonance of identity, cherished beliefs, and the perils foretold by the last Warsa dream seer. An adventure both entertaining and thought provoking. I loved it and you will too!

A great follow-up to Second Nature. You don't have to read Second Nature, but it's helpful. I love this world! This book is fun in different aspects of shapeshifting, I love the main character is an Omega, and is just looking for her Alpha. Loved the suspense, action and thrilling chase.

I really enjoyed the story; a good balance between action and emotion. The relationship between the women builds up well and the story explores the struggles of raising a teenager as a busy parent. Very well written and easy to read. Adding some fantasy shift shaping adds some spice to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Submissive has Matuured
Reviewed in Australia on September 7, 2023

When I first met Kelsey in Second Nature she was a submissive who couldn’t say no to save herself. During this book she matures and learns to stand up for herself and others. The other main protagonist, Rue also grows and learns to open up to others. Then there is Danny who is a typical teenager no matter what his species. Deaf or not one of his favourite phrase still appears to be ‘Whatever!’ All in all it was a delightful story well worth reading.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2017

Second book of the Shape Shifter Series, although a stand-alone novel I think it is better if Second Nature is read first. I really liked Kelsey in Second Nature so was very pleased to see she was one of the main characters in this book.
Jodie the dream seer sends Kelsey to find and return to the pack a young teenager Wrasa she thinks is in danger before he goes through the First Change. What can go wrong does go wrong as Kelsey and Danny’s mother try to find the missing boy in time. Marvellous detailed story of a frantic race to find the deaf boy. I loved the development of Kelsey’s character as I totally relate to her. Loved everything about the book from the beginning to the end. Brilliant writing, such sensitive range of emotions displayed in the characters. Another fantastic book by Jae to keep re-reading over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great romance from Jae
Reviewed in France on September 21, 2017

I loved going back to the shape-shifters's universe, this time following the story of a wolf-shifter. I knew from the beginning that the romance would be amazing (as everything Jae writes), but I was still blown away by the twist the author brings to the alpha-omega relationship the main characters share. Though Rue is clearly the dominant and Kelsey the submissive, it doesn't mean that Kelsey is inferior to Rue. They respect each other and act as equals, bringing out the best in each other. Rue learns to give in sometimes and show her softer side, while Kelsey decides to stand up for herself when it matters. Also, the sexual tension between them is scorching hot, so there's that too.
