I was so excited to get to this one! I couldn't wait for Phenex and Ryland to get their HEA, and I wasn't disappointed. I was also happy to see that I'm really, really hoping Lord Lucifer gets his own book also!
I would have to say that ever since Ryland and Phenex were introduced into this series, I was hooked, and then when it was disclosed that they were Jesse’s fathers, I was dying to read their story. Knowing how integral mates are to each other, it was heartbreaking to see these two alpha men split up and living apart for over 26 years. I can’t imagine how they were able to survive, but I understood why Phenex did what he did. Ryland was really a major victim here even though for so long he was seen as a villain. Their story is devastating, but fortunately they have Micah to thank for setting them back in line.
I love Jesse. I’ve loved him since he was introduced in the first book, but for someone normally so forgiving of others, he really needed his head bopped in this installment. I completely understood why he was upset over his fate, I know his life was horrific, but he treated Ryland horribly and I had a hard time with that…especially since he treated Phenex like he was precious and had no fault in how things played out. Yes, Phenex was played, just like Ryland was played, but had these two LEADERS put their collective heads together and COMMUNICATED they just might have saved their family from decades of despair and kept their relationship intact.
I was so happy to see Ryland vindicated. I was even more happy to see the love and attraction that was so obvious between him and Phenex brought back to life. If ever two men needed their HEA given back to them, it was Ryland and Phenex; and if ever a man needed his father’s reunited it was Jesse. So, yay, I got I was looking for, and I highly recommend this series, and especially this story. Enjoy.
As everyone knows I am a huge fan of Maggie Walsh’s book series “The Angel Pack and “Beyond the Angel Pack”. I was super excited to have won her giveaway; a copy of any of her books. Of course I jumped at the chance to read the newest book in the series. As usual I was not disappointed.
Wow is all I can say… I am so blown away by the direction this story has taken and how the characters continue to evolve without losing the qualities that made me fall in love with them. This book revolves around the mating of Lexi and Bailey but we do get updates on everyone and the epic battle we didn’t see coming.
Lexi is soldier and so much more than he can imagine, when he meets Bailey it’s like everything that was missing from his life came together. Bailey is shy and has had a rough life that has made it hard for him to be open with those around him. Lexi wants his mate and to live an uncomplicated life, Bailey is loveable in this book and makes you want to hug him. While also dealing with misunderstandings in their relationship; they also have to face stalkers and Malachi’s never ending drama.
I will say that for those that love a good sex scene, this book doesn’t have many but it makes up for it by having a remarkable story. I always say that if you take the sex out of a book and it still keeps your attention than the author did their job. When I read one of Maggie’s books I know the sex will always be great, but in all honesty I find myself skipping them so that I can read the story. The entire series is a page turner and I can’t wait to read the next installment. If you haven’t read this series then head over to Amazon and pick up your copy today.
I give this book 5 diamonds and I can’t wait to read “When World Collides (Beyond the Angel Pack)” make sure you pre-order it now http://www.bookstrand.com/when-worlds...
Rating: 3.5 stars Not one of my favorite couples of the series. Ryland has been pretty unlikable throughout the series so far. Still, he did manage to redeem himself in this book and it was good to see him and Phenex repair their relationship. Like with most of the books in the series, it’s the other events that take place that make the book entertaining. All in all, another solid entry into the Angel Pack series.
