I also found it a bit odd that some other packs treated their women as property, especially since women werewolves were semi-rare. So, it is a bit of a shock when you learn that not all packs are like his, but have continual infighting. They don't determine things by fighting, but by forcing the submissive to not return a stare. The world of the werewolves is well built and brought to life with color. But still, I felt like there was good chemistry and enough passion involved in the story. In fact, you have to wait until the later books for the sex, and even then it isn't written about.

The romance is fun and flirty, without being too intense. I enjoyed Kai as the dominant male that growls, 'mine', but allows Aurora all the time she needs. The situation adds a bit of tension, and the author does a good job in not making Aurora's fears too over the top, which allows the reader to feel that the relationship will work, they just have to keep reading. Her past looms large in her head, and she can't seem to committ to Kai, even though she knows he is her other half. Aurora is a determined girl who is frustrated to suddenly be placed into an automatic relationship with a male. In fact, as soon as I finished it, I purchased books 2 and 3. I can't seem to get enough of paranormal stories, if they are well written, and this one was. Now Aurora's life is in danger as outside werewolves seek to own her and control her power. To the surprise of everyone, she discovers that not only is she Kai's true mate, but is also the matefinder, a werewolf who has visions that show the location of other wolves true mates. She also learns that other paranormal creatures, such as witches and vampires, exist.Īs a changed wolf (versus a natural born wolf) Aurora will gain a power with her first full change.

As Aurora adjusts to her new world, she learns that werewolves are few in number because they can only have children with their true mates, which are rarely found. She gets into a car accident and is saved from death by Kai, an alpha werewolf. Aurora is one tough chick who survived a violent childhood and now runs a domestic abuse shelter.
