Synopsis:
When the hunter is
your mate, being prey is anything but terrifying…
Coyote shifter Tate Allen has been watching. Learning his mate every
possible way before he moves in. Protecting her through the night, always from
afar.
He’ll be the one to teach her about her gifts. He’ll be there when she
changes for the first time.
With him, she’ll fulfill her destiny.
Elise Ralston loves Tate for the patience he’s shown. The faith he’s
demonstrated—denying himself what he needs sexually, even as he teaches her
about pleasure.
For Tate, Elise is willing to try. To revel in touch, to give him
control…and to embrace her healer’s need.
But someone unknown is still stalking the clan, threatening more than
Tate and Elise’s bond. And Elise is a prime target—precious for the magic she
hasn’t even learned yet.
Book 2 of the Ancient Ink series brings the Coyote shifter, Tate Allen, to a new light for me. I had this distinct personal feeling from Guardian's Bond Book 1, that he had too much attitude. Though after reading the first few pages of this book it became clear that he was just protective of those he loved and cared for. This personality trait comes in handy for his dealings with his newly discovered mate, Elise Ralston. It was quite admirable how he was able to understand that going slow and being patient was how Elise needed to be handled due to her young adult life.
Elise has internal scars from her high school days and as they became more apparent I formed a closer bond with her character. As many people in the world, my childhood was traumatic and caused me insecurities about myself as well. I will have to say that the most amazing thing Author Rhenna Morgan did in this book that stays with me is how she laid out the spiritual mind process that Elise went through to change her internal stories that caused her such pain in her present life.
For me this book combines a mystical and spiritual feeling that is outstanding for this type of genre.
I give it 5 STARS and I recommend everybody to read it.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Rhenna Morgan
His hackles bristled, and a low growl rolled up his throat, his beast chiming in with its own displeasure. In the two weeks since he’d met Elise, his companion had grudgingly played along with the self-imposed distance Tate had kept between them. A distance his instincts insisted was crucial to learn and prepare for the hunt ahead. Hell, the way Elise’s heart had hammered in those first few seconds, distance had been downright necessary. The only reliable action that kept him from pinning her to the floor and taking her right then and there.
But his coyote was done with waiting. Had exhausted its patience and was ready to get on with the business of winning their mate.
Almost time. Just a few more hours.
It was more thought and emotion than actual words, the connection between man and animal as natural as his heart and lungs working in synchronization
Tate spun toward the sound, ears tweaking in the direction of soft, but steady footfalls against soil softened by April’s steady rains. Logic told him it was Jade finally showing up to do what he’d asked of her, but with Draven still on the loose and hunting clan primos, the warrior in him wasn’t willing to run on logic alone.
A second later, Jade strode into view, her long dark hair loose and swinging with each confident step, and the silver charms she’d woven into braids on one side of her head sparking in the waning sunlight. While she wasn’t his sister in the truest sense, they may as well have shared blood. He sure as hell wanted to strangle her right about now the way a blood-bound brother would.
He waited until she was within ten feet to welcome his shift, the snap and burn beneath his skin as he relinquished his animal form to the Otherworld nothing compared to the impatience twisting his insides.
“You’re late.”
Apparently, he and his coyote weren’t the only ones in a nasty mood, because Jade snarled back at him as only a woman could, a little of her lynx mingling with the sound. “Elise is my friend, not an assignment. If you don’t want to work with my timetable, then get off your ass and engage with your mate the way you’re supposed to.”
“She’s new.”
“So? Katy was new, too, and Priest barely let her out of his sight.”
Oh, Elise hadn’t been far from him. Maybe not always visible, but aside from time spent at work with a tattoo iron in his hand or running down leads on Draven and their missing seer primo when Priest demanded it, Tate had stayed close to her. It’d meant a lot of time in coyote form to maintain control and sleeping hidden outside her home, but he’d kept as tight of a connection as he dared. “She’s different.”

Priest Rahandras has lived with the darkness trapped inside himself for years. Betrayed by his own brother and forced to watch his clan’s brutal annihilation, the only thing Priest wants more than to escape the curse that haunts him—as both man and beast—is to rebuild.
Until the mate he’s longed for walks into his life with an elder from his past. She’s everything he’s wished for, and the key to the clan’s very survival.
Kateri Falsen is a woman of logic and facts. While Priest’s cat can sense her arousal, telling her they’re fated won’t be enough. He’ll have to show her his love: with his words, with his actions, and with his body.
Protecting Kateri from the evil trapped inside him is paramount. But when lost clan members are systematically murdered, he’ll have to choose between exposing his mate to his black magic, or risking her as the next victim.
