Blurb:When female wolf shifter Taryn Warner first encounters Trey Coleman, an alpha male wolf shifter with a dangerous reputation, she’s determined to resist his charms. After all, Trey—who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack—can’t have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks.
Taryn finds herself drawn in by Trey’s forceful demeanor and arctic-blue eyes, and she eventually agrees to enter an uneasy alliance with him. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they’ve chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.
But there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan—including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.
Wowee this one was great. It had all the makings of a great romance. First we had the intense physical attraction, their chemistry was crazy off the charts. ::fans self:: Hot damn it was good. I really liked how they were both acknowledged it right away and weren’t afraid to act on it even though they both decided prior that it was going to be a temporary arrangement.
But as always happens in these storylines, something changed. They both came to care for each other on an emotional level and I loved how drawn out their story was, we get to see them evolve and adjust to their new roles. It was awesome to read.
Taryn is simply a badass. Her way with cuss words and insults should be an olympic sport! She takes care of herself, even though she is constantly looking over her shoulder cause her dad is a huge dick and only cares about how her arranged mating can profit him. Ugh, what a douche. But she isn’t too stubborn to refuse help when it is offered which I thought showed a maturity and intelligence that added to her already attractive package.
Trey is an alpha, and everything that entails. He is cunning, strong and doesn’t demean his pack with fear and insults. His offered arrangement to Taryn is perfect for both of them. But then, they catch the feels. And it is glorious. I really can’t go into it more than that because the story is so developed and detailed this would be a HUGE post and I am trying to keep them short…er. Suffice it to say, I will be reading more from this author and will most likely re-read this one at some point.
Olympic cussing? I’m in!!
