Book Blurb:
When driven and dominant advertising executive Emily Potter is promoted within her company, the bosses make it clear that the promotion comes with certain expectations: she is to purchase herself a morph–a customizable animal hybrid of the future that is both sexual pet and status symbol. Emily’s personal tastes require a very unique set of specifications for her morph. Emily desires a male pet that is both exotic and submissive–yet all of her expectations are exceeded with Wynn, a beautiful white fox morph with a desire to please his new Master and an unusual intelligence that intrigues her. But the soulful wisdom that makes Wynn so special is a challenge to the morph-culture status quo and could ultimately spell disaster for both Master and pet.

Beyond The Softness of His Fur Part One: Wonders of Modern Science is the first installment in TammyJo Eckhart’s provocative and edgy science-fiction trilogy. “A tale of genetics, sex, and love between owners and pets,” Part One is concerned with the bonding period between Emily and Wynn and the unexpected threats to their growing relationship. Beautiful and sensitive Wynn is naïve to the complex world outside of his initial laboratory home and it is Emily’s job to educate and discipline him according to her needs. But to her surprise, Emily finds more and more it is up to her to protect and care for the intelligent and sensitive creature from a world that would rather bend Wynn to suit its expectations rather than Emily’s own.

Book Review:
Even though I don't know much about the furry fetish, I found this installment romantic and erotic. For a dominant woman, I found Emily sensitive in handling her new pet. Wynn showed a quiet strength that I hope to see develop further in the next installments in this trilogy.  The characters are well developed and likeable. As readers familiar with TammyJo's erotica, she knows how to romanticize the Master/slave relationship. A tragic incident threatens the new relationship between Emily and Wynn. Despite the tragedy, this book may be one of her most romantic erotica stories. I loved to read how the two characters struggle to guess what the other expects as well as what people outside of the relationship think of their different approach to the owner/pet dynamic. I love the way she shows the reader the story from each individual character. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or intentional, but near the end, I found a spot where Wynn spoke about himself in the upper case. I would highly recommend this to readers who enjoy a great erotica story. I believe the furry community will love this book, but I don't think you have to be a part of that community to enjoy this well told romantic erotica story. It is very intelligent and touching. Enjoy!
