Spiteful Stars

Disenchanted Mates #1

by Shannon West

When Blake and Davos’s youngest son, Rakkur, and his mate, Tariq, have a huge argument, Rakkur comes home to Tygeria, vowing never to see Tariq again. Blake decides to tell his son a story about a time before he and Davos were married, when they, too, “split up,” because of a shocking event during the war. Blake’s life blew up in an unexpected way that was dangerous and full of deceit and intrigue. It was a time when everything changed for the second time in Blake’s short life, and Davos who had been declared Killed in Action, miraculously returned, alive and well, and not at all happy about Blake now living with another man. The story that follows is full of unexpected twists, turns, enduring love and always an adventure with a happy ending.

This is an all-new book in The Mate of the Tyger Prince series and can be read as a standalone if you have a little knowledge of the Mate of the Tyger Prince world, or probably even if you don’t. Though the books in the series are all different, there are two unifying wrestling with the destiny of finding your one true love and discovering that love when you least expect it, but always when you need it the most.

OMG so good to see established couples early in their relationship. Rakkur is Blake and Davos’ son who came home after having a misunderstanding with his mate Tariq. With Blake telling Rakkur that he will tell his dad to start divorce proceedings, Rakkur was not wanting that. Then Blake told his son the story of how a friend tried to get between them. I loved how we are able to get to see the early relationship between established couples. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

This visit back to early in Blake and Davos’ relationship broke my heart for both of them, but especially for Blake. He was so lost and betrayed by someone who was supposed to protect and look out for him. I like these visits to the past with the original couples.

Amo il mondo creato dalla West e amo Blake, ma in questo libro il suo carattere è stato del tutto cambiato e del coraggioso soldato si sono perse le tracce. L'idea di base della serie è buona, ma questo libro mi ha deluso.
