Ian Wolfblood, alpha of the wolf pack, just informed his daughter Helena that she was to meet with the son of the Bear leader for an arranged marriage -- a supposed peace gesture! But he planned to use the wedding to spring a deadly trap and destroy a large part of the bear clan. Then the wolves would move north and stop Rhett Parker from sending financial support for the bears’ efforts to protect humans. That way, through treachery, they could be victorious at last! They would no longer have to hide their shifter natures!
Helena met Logan and they made arrangements to be alone to talk. Preventing war was a high priority. Strangely, she found that she liked talking with Logan because she could speak her mind and talk about what was important to her without feeling judged as weak. He was not like she expected. Sure that she would not actually marry Logan, she wanted to know what it would be like and she allowed him to show her. Would she eventually change her mind about betraying the bears? Could she let go of her father’s hated plans to choose another path?
This was a good storyline. It’s a little “preachy” but still interesting enough to keep the reader involved. I voluntarily read a review copy of this book and my comments reflect my honest and sincere opinion.
