His only complication is Katron, the largest of the wolf shifters. The man is so sour that Fjord wants to drown the man in the lake. He has never met a more irritating person in his life. Katron knows that not all want the wolf shifters in their throwback village. He has even seen a few of the lion shifters sneer at him. Of course, it could always be his winning personality that makes the lions dislike him. But the one who thinks himself better than the rest is Fjord, brother to the king and a royal pain in the ass. When Lansing sends Fjord and Katron on a mission to the outer perimeters, he warns Fjord and Katron not to kill each other. That isn’t an easy request. But they soon find themselves in enemy territory, and Katron is taken prisoner. Can Katron get away in time to save Fjord, if he is still alive, and can he come to terms with the strong attraction he has for the king’s brother, an attraction that he has been denying since first setting eyes on the sexy lion shifter? ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Did Not Finish
June 21, 2015I wanted to give mpreg a try and this sounded like a good one to start with. I thought it was kind of ridiculous. I got to about 50% before giving up. I will not rate because the book was fine, it's my hang up with the subject matter that threw me.
I may try mpreg again in the future. I'd love a good recommendation from a GR friend, if you have time. This one definitely didn't do it for me.

This was a great continuation to the first story. You have an ongoing storyline that continues along with a new couple's tale. Fjord and Katron make an interesting pair and you definitely wonder if things will work.
The only thing with the book that I wish had been a little different was that Katron's past was expanded a little. It just seemed like it was mentioned, a little was told about it, and then that was it. The biggest thing that I thought should have been told to Fjord was The other thing that irritated me a little, even in the first book, was Katron's feelings about men getting pregnant. I know that didn't happen where he came from, but this is a new world and his friend is pregnant.
Overall, I enjoyed my time reading this. I like the ongoing story and love that lions rule the world. I just can't wait to find out what happens with the other two wolves.

Starting with 2 men who basically hated each other but also found each other attractive from the get go, finally have their feelings blossom when given an assignment. Fjord really has to see past Katron's antagonizing attitude that he uses as a shield against the world. I found that Fjord's confusion over being the dominated partner to be refreshing, considering he's the taller of the two. Then after mating, he has to deal with the obvious signs that he's the less dominant of the two... I was really looking forward to the second book in this series and was NOT disappointed in the least!

Katron and Fjord. Liked them. Liked the relationship. Liked Fjord when he felt vulnerable. Like Katron telling everyone how it is.

Okay, I'm starting to get used to this new world of Pride Valley, which sometimes reminds me of long, long, ago when Native Americans had once lived freely in tribes, however, still having to watch for enemy tribes (I love studying that whole history). The lion shifters go through a lot of grief in this book (from another lion pride), especially Fjord and his wolf shifter mate, Katron. I'm basically one of those readers who can be impatient just wanting the main characters to hurry and hook up already, so they can fight through their issues together without their bickering about who's most dominant. What I like about these characters is that I can feel the warmth bouncing off of the pages, along with the danger, action, tension, and some humor. So I'm off to read the next. =)

**Grammar**
In this second book we see Fjord and Katron. The 2 men hate each other, cant stop bickering and fighting, but at the same time they are attracted to each other. Both are strong and smart men and want to dominate. Katron calls Fjord, "royal pain in the ass", while Fjord thinks about drowing the other man all the time. When Lansing, the King, sends them on a mission together, things dont get better, till the sexual-tension btw them is too much and they act on it. They are fighing when their eyes meet and Katron kisses him. They are distracted and dont hear the enemies arriving. They get attacked and Fjord gets hit. Katron is taken prisoner. The older man thinks that Fjord is dead or dying and all he wants is to go help him. He is taken to the prison and there he meets Joque, one of Dirk's (Lansing's uncle) sons, the man tries to make him talk, faking to be his friend and telling him that he is in the same situation bcs he didnt follow his father's orders, but soon after we find out he is Albert the oldest son and the crazy one. The one that does all his father asks him. When the real Joque enters the room, Katron thinks that he is going to die, but the younger man helps him and he doesnt stop Katron from killing Albert. With Joque's help, Katron is able to escape and run out of the village.
At the same time we see Fjord being rescued by the guards sent by Lansing worried when he didnt see the 2 men coming back after soo many days on the mission. Fjord sees Katron coming to him and he starts to run to the man.The only thing he can think about is being in Katron's arms. He doesnt see the man aiming his bow at him and the arrow hits him. Katron carries him out of the field while the guards try to give them time to run away.
When they are alone Katron takes the arrow out and tells Fjord to shift to heal the wound. He tells Fjord that he is beautiful also if he is a lion and then tells him to sleep and that he will watch over him. Something is different, feelings are growing. When Fjord wakes up and Katron checks his wounds, his hands dont stop after that, and sure as hell Fjord doesnt ask him too. Katron asks Fjord how old he is, and Fjord says that he is 24. Katron is older than him being 36 and he is not sure that this will work btw them, but Fjord tells him that he cant deny that there is something btw them and that also if he never bottommed before he wants to be with Katron now.
They make love and in the heat of the passion Katron cant stop himself from biting Fjord. He mated with him and screwed them both.
They still argue all the time during the day, but they make love in the night. Katron tries to explain to Fjord why he is like this. Ha had a bad father and he isnt able to talk about his feelings, but that doesnt mean he doesnt feel. When Fjord asks him what he thinks about babies, Katron doesnt answer the question but goes away. We will understand that he is scared of being a bad father like his was.
We dont really know what happend btw Katron and his father but we know that when the other wolves and the Alpha bullied him for being gay, his father didnt help him. Maybe there was something more behind all this, but was never explained.
Back to the village the guards that before where under Fjord's command, now stare at him like he is of lower rank. Fjord gets pissed, bcs this is all Katron's fault. With their mating, and the tattoo that appeared on their bodies, the guards are able to see that in their relationship Fjord isnt the dominant one, and they dont respect him anymore. Katron tries to tell him that what they do in private doesnt change who he is and shouldnt make other ppl treat him differently.
Fjord is so pissed that fights with Katron too.
Later we will find out that he is angrier than usual bcs he is pregnant. Fjord is scared that Katron will not want the baby, but Katron amazes him. The older man is happy.
I forgot to write about Joque. He arrieves in Lansing's village beaten and searching for help, and probably if there will be a 4th book he and Asher will be the next couple. Dirk really needs to die, now he almost killed the only son he has left, poor boy.
Katron and Fjord are walking holding hands, when they see the fire coming from Asher's hut. Katron leaves Fjord's hand and runs. The wolf is sure that no one is alive in that hell, he is still staring at the fire, when he hears Fjord's scream. He find his mate on the floor holding his belly. He is wounded but not shifting and Katron asks him why. Fjors answers that if he shifts he will lose their baby. This moment was terrible and really sad and till the end i feared that he was really gonna lose the baby, but luckly Asher is still alive and comes to help them. Fjord and the baby are safe.
God that was really a sad moment and Katron and Fjord pain and tears made it so real....damn the author did really well with this scene.
Dirk that man, i hope u get killed soon, bcs u are becoming really annoying and how the hell are u able to run away all the time???? Lansing'uncle is a pain the ass. I need the 4th book to see him die.
The book ends with Fjord waking up and thinking that he lost their child, but luckily Katron tells him he is wrong. Fjord asks him if they found Dirk and Katron says no, and sure as hell there will be a line of ppl wanting to kill Dirk when they will find him.
Fjord and Katron are the best pairing of the 3 books. I'm sure they will never stop fighting or arguing, but they really love each other.

quirky fun read with terrible editing lol
You push the editing aside and you can have fun reading this series.
The book and series have obviously never been reread/written by author as there is some very basic mistakes...but I just shrugged an enjoyed the plot and drama.
I looked at this authors coming soon page on her website and she has a book coming out every 2 weeks...that amazing but it also explains why its not being edited better :)

The second par to this story was predictable, but enjoyable enough. I liked the coupled pair. Both of them were head strong. Their behaviour toward each other was partly humorous with a good verbal pissing match.

Fjord and Katron hate each other. But they also secretly want each other. And once they finally let their guards down, it's quite a union. I loved this book more than the first one. Moving on to the next book.
