“I’ve been alive a very long time...thugs with government connections don’t scare me.”
Hellhound Lamont had been through a long week providing much-needed protection for Giorgio and his new mate, Enda. He was willing to help, it's what packmates did for each other. But just prior to going to Tuscany, Lamont had been waylaid by another man in Egypt - an intriguing man who left him with a business card and a plea for Lamont to call him before being dragged off by two goons. Unable to get the man out of his head and not getting any responses to his texts or calls, when Lamont was finally free of his obligations, he went looking for the man behind the card. The only issue was that ten days had passed by that point, and the man was very definitely missing.
“He doesn’t know... That’s the only explanation that makes sense.”
Ewen Cross, journalist and silver fox shifter, really wished he hadn't stopped to talk to Lamont just moments before he'd been abducted. Unfortunately, the pull to be with his mate was too strong, but that brief meeting became a curse when Lamont didn't come after him the way Ewen thought he would. Again, not an issue on its own, but Ewen's fox was feeling neglected, and suffering mate sickness while tied to a chair in a basement hadn't been on Ewen's bingo card that year.
He’d already been kidnapped, tortured, and nearly killed. What was a little divine wrath on top of that?
Lamont pulls some godly strings, and Ewen is finally in his arms, but their troubles don't stop there. Between corrupt officials, a story Ewen would die to protect (and damn near had), and a few interferences from Lord Hades and Consort Ali, finding time to celebrate their mating just wasn't happening. If they could just get the story published, then maybe there'd be time to visit the Greek Islands, Consort Ali is so fond of recommending.
This story is an MM Fated Mates Romance. It involves a hellhound and a silver fox shifter. While reading previous books in this series would help give you some background on the secondary characters (especially Magical Beast), this book is a standalone. There is a HEA, and no cliffhangers, although the epilogue is the prologue to the next book in the series.

When Lisa is not writing, she is usually reading with a cup of tea always at hand. Her grown children and grandchildren sometimes try and pry her away from the computer and have found that the best way to do it, is to promise her chocolate. Lisa will do anything for chocolate.

Loved this story. Lisa did a great job writing a 'standalone'😉 in a series😬 I hope to hear more about these two in the next stories in this series. Highly recommended.
And this one clearly required so much research to get all the US government, corporate, etc. details right and they all rang true. There were a couple of surprises along the way. Always lovely to see Lord Hades and Consort Ali. I hope we get a chance to read about Redford and the gargoyles one day.
Ewen…you more than earned a break and a sexy hellhound by your side!!! Lamont…you finally found your sunset. Bad guys got their just desserts!!!! More Lord Hades and Consort Ali!!!! Those two are great! Always so helpful. Lamont did only slightly better with his mate initially than his brothers.
I love hellhounds! Great adventure. Looking forward to the next book. The setting for the next book already sounds good. Also would like more stories about the hellhound all getting together for other adventures.
Lisa Oliver is a go to author for me, with action fill books and HEA's. With this book I feel like I'm consort Ali who's invested in my hellhound, I want to learn more and I like what I learn.
This has got so many on the front of my chair moments. Lamont and Ewens beginning had me going no don't leave . The surrounding story with the underhanded way the government tried to hide everything. Was such a great read I'm loving all the stories from you.
Lamont's story is one of the most intriguing and exciting in the Hellhound Collar series. I was sucked into this wonderful page turning romance immediately! Love, love, love book 7!
