Refuge Shifters #2
Retribution
Three lonely souls find each other in the midst of an all out war between the shifters and the Hunters.
Mother Earth gave Ryker Allen rebirth over a century ago, his main purpose to protect Mother's shifter children. Ryker has never begrudged his duties, but the loneliness is something he'll never get used to.
Daniel was the King of the Coyotes until a mistake led to the decimation of his species. Alone and half-dead, he was taken in by a pack of wolf shifters as a pet for the Alpha's mate. When he's given a chance to live as an Alpha once again, he's reluctant to accept, afraid he's no longer worthy to lead.
Hakan is the son of Father Sky. He was awarded rebirth over a thousand years ago to protect the Native American Bird Shifters. When animosity towards Native Americans escalated, Hakan's charges took to the sky permanently, leaving him without a purpose. He's lived his long life alone, waiting for the day he can once again serve his Father.
Three men, three very different backgrounds, one thing in common. Loneliness. Can these three souls come together to form a family?

That was a cool shifter story revolving around Native American beliefs with Father Sky and Earth Mother controlling things. Daniel finally finds his mates but is slowly dying because of all the guilt he carries around. He needs to get to Crater Lake so he can purge the guilt but he gets kidnapped by the Hunters so they have to be defeated first...blah, blah. His men get him and we get just a bit of the ole' DP action. Yesss! Interesting story.

After sending the first wave of shifters on their way to Refuge, Ryker and Daniel are on their way to find Hakan the sky guardian. Ryker is concern about Daniel’s food intake and his depressing mood. He barely gets a chance to voice is concern before a more pressing matter seem to be affecting them both.
Both men are drawn to the area that Hakan lives and as soon as they lay eyes on him, it seems to be affecting Hakan as well. These three men are top of their race and now it seems as if Mother earth and father sky have set them on a path that will see some big changes for the world and apparently Daniel is the key that hold this all together.
While these three are trying to sort out their lives as impossible as it seem – the hunters are at it again and this time Hakan, Ryker and Daniel are literally in a race against time to set matters in motion’ when betrayal and doubt rear's it’s head all may yet just be lost.
I am so pleased this book came out so quickly after the first book. I liked the first book but this second book brings out what Lynne's does best - joining men together with an eye on the smut and a big chunk of emotional upheaval tossed in. A lot more than the back history of Ryker and Daniel is delved into in this second book,
This is a fast pace book and as usual with Lynne’s writing there is just something that hold you and you really don’t want it to end. I saw old favourites setting up families, introduced to a whole new specie and I shared in what looks to be the main protags from the next book joy and pain.
For the second book in a new series by Lynne RETRIBUTION is a weightier book than EXTINCTION and I totally enjoyed.

Second book in the shifter series, it's m/m/m and left some questions but I guess I'll find out more in the next installment!
I do like that this series has a very different history for the shifters and some 'new' creations!

January 11, 2013okay weird - I went to review this book which I thought I read weeks ago, and then realized I didn't get past page 7. So I'm not sure what that says about my interest in this series. I'll give it another shot soon.

I loved it! Some things don’t make sense yet but I'm sure than in the next book maybe things will start to come in to light.

what the heck???? First of all, i guess threesomes aren't as sexy as one would originally think. i really can't stand this three-some. its too much. and the way they fell in love with one another within 5min. is creepy and weird. i can see where the author wanted to go with this but its too rushed and forced

This is a nice fantasy series. I am truely enjoying it. If you are wanting hot sex on everyother page this is not for you, but if you would like a good solid read this is the book for you.
