Oh my! This author has done it again. I just can't seem to get enough of these Royal Shifters and their extremely primal/dominate site.
Although this can be read as a stand alone, I will be referencing things that happened within the series prior to this book in this review. Still no spoilers though...
Anton Alexander is a Councilman who's dedicated his life (literally) to protecting through the law. Advocating for woman's rights, as well as other issues, have become a focal point to him ever since Molly joined his pack. Even though he doesn't see his pack often, protecting them is the most important thing in his world.
Nyx Mercer is the niece of a Councilman who is out for revenge. She's always been in the shadows, bowing down to men and their primitive ways of treating woman less than. But now she has a chance to fix that. All she has to do is produce proof that Anton killed his former secretary. Once she does that, she can take the vacant seat on the Council, becoming the first woman to ever sit there. But she's starting to find that not everything she's been told holds truth. In fact, there are many things that don't add up.
The plot only thickens when you add in the fact that Anton recognizes that Nyx is his true mate, even though she has noticed yet. Councilman having a mate is extremely dangerous because they can easily be used against them. But he's having a very hard time dismissing her. Pushing her away has only made it that much harder to distance himself. And you'll never guess how Nyx deals with being pushed away.
I feel like it's been a while since I've read this series. Maybe is has. But once I started reading this, it all came back to me. And it was nice to visit with Kane and Molly again. The chemistry between Anton and Nyx is super hot. The anticipation built so much that it's no wonder there was an explosion. Obviously, there's a HEA, but now I'm looking forward to the next one.
