“Love is giving someone the power to completely destroy you, and hoping that they won’t”
I’m pretty picky when it comes to Paranormal Romance, preferring Urban Fantasy, but I have to say this one surprised me with how good it was.
The small pack dynamic worked well and the characters blended to fit. Taryn is sarcastic and fun, and Trey is…just awesome. I even dug his aged relative who Taryn enjoyed arguing with. The angle with her father and his disapproval of her was interesting too – pack dynamics can be annoying in some books with the politics involved, but once we got over the forced marriage with one particular cruel alpha, it wasn’t annoying in this book.
There’s some intense steamy moments that seriously work, but after a while it gets way overdone and starts taking over the story too much – a sad curse many PNR have. I think some of that could have been trimmed later to make the story work better, but the plot for a shifter paranormal romance novel rocked --- they come into a contractual mating because of an oncoming battle, but find out that they had misconceptions about a few things.
Sounds simple enough, but throw in that both of their former true mates are dead, and it gets even more interesting. Not something I’ve seen done before.
Apparently there was a version that had a ménage of some sort, but that’s not the version I read so I can’t comment on that. Looking at comments about it – apparently I seriously missed out!
Well written and sassy, highly recommend this one if you like paranormal romance.
