It took me so freaking long to find out about this story but I'm glad I read it. It's been quite awhile since I've read one of Laurann's books and I have the feeling that this one is a bit similar to her New Species series. Both have strong men that would do anything to protect their women. But sadly this story is not as good as the other series. I always hope for the author to find her spark again but so far I haven't read any of her books that would make me feel the same excitement and interest as the first few New Species books. I know that beside Laurann's books, I've also read one of Kele's books and I loved it. I think we could see both their writing styles in this story and that made the book that more interesting to read.

There were some really cute scenes that I loved but also some great, more serious scenes. I liked the characters and I wonder whos book will be next. The only thing that did bother me at times were scenes where I felt that Brandi was treated quite poorly. I didn't like how some pack mates treated her after what she's been through. I mean, she was almost killed in a gruosome and traumatic way and then they even joke about it. That's just tasteless and completely unnecessary to be put into the story. So that definitely bothered me. I also wished we'd get a full sized novel, with more background from the characters and the whole world they live in. Just more details and depth. But other than that I enjoyed the story. Since this is a quick read, it's not so dark and heavy. It's more fun and easy going. Just a great PNR read.
