He believes he’s found his fated mate, but all she does is kick him in the balls.
Gretchen Halbmond became a diehard Daddy’s girl the day her mother ran out on them both. She doesn’t believe in love and isn’t looking for it, but when her ailing father is attacked and left bloody by wolves on the wrong side of the law, she goes out in search of what she does believe in: Justice.
Sheriff Talon Garde has way too much on his plate. Humans have breached shifters' carefully guarded privacy and are about to go public. If he can’t stop them, what happened to Gretchen’s father is going to be the least of everyone’s worries.
More importantly, despite Talon’s rep as a bad ass alpha whose growl strikes fear in the hearts of criminals, Gretchen’s scent makes him go all squishy inside. She’s THE ONE, he’s sure of it. There’s just that small matter of convincing Gretchen it’s pointless to fight fate…and perhaps wearing a cup.
Standalone novel with NO cliffhanger.
~ My Review ~ 4.5 STARS
This story deals with dubious outcasts from the packs and
all the mischief they cause that Talon must deal with and Gretchen is a victim
of. There are some exciting fight scenes and some scenes that were so well
written I swear the hair on my neck went up.
I love a story with a very strong women as it main
character. Gretchen is ready to take on everyone and starts to wreck havoc as
she frantically tries to keep herself and her father safe. Her refusal to
acknowledge true mates do exist and she is Talon’s is amusing to watch. She is constantly
butting heads and egging him on. I really feel quite sorry for him, as she sure
knows how to put him in his place.
The author has created an alpha no nonsense type of man that
everyone fears in Sheriff Talon Garde. His character deals in facts and chain
of command and he doesn’t take bullshit from anyone especially Gretchen. This
poor guy is so confused with his reaction to Gretchen he responds to her in
ways he has never done before. I love that he gets what she is saying though it
confuses him. I also like that though he wants to force her to except it he
gets control for his wolf and backs down.
I give this 4.5 STARS for the way she wrote what I consider “dark
scenes” with such finesse.
I was given this ARC for an honest opinion.
