When Barbary Pride lions are blamed for the brutal murder of a she-wolf-shifter, animosity flares and tempers ignite. In a moment of desperation, the victim's mate kidnaps Jizette and threatens to return her, one piece at a time, until the murderer is turned over to Timberline pack.
Kage is afraid his grief-stricken friend will follow through with his grisly threat, so he hides the terrified cat, giving her pride time to investigate the murder. Jizette isn't sure what to think of her rescuer. He's gruff and aggressive, and stirs feelings she doesn't want to feel. Interspecies couples are shunned. Forbidden. Yet, the flash of his eyes, and the press of his muscular body, make her burn as never before.
To protect her, Kage must take her beyond the walls of Alpha Colony, and expose her to a world she's never experienced before. His rash plan might incinerate the sheltered beauty, or free her to become more than she ever dreamed possible.

This is no the last "Alpha Colony" book, there is a fourth and (I believe it) last one.
If I'll put a note only to this one, it would be 2 and a half starts, but I read the last one too ("Uninhibited fire") and really like it, so I give both books 3 starts.
A pesar de que en Goodreads aparece como trilogía, la serie tiene al menos otro libro para terminar, titulado "Uninhibited fire", y dado que ese si me gustó bastante más (le daría 4 estrellas), mientras que éste se quedaría con 2, he decidio poner aquí la media ya que el último libro no está incluido en GR.
Si a éste le pondría un 2 es porque vuelve a dejar todo en el aire para las historias que teóricamente unen los distintos libros de la serie, mientras que la historia de los protagonistas es muy precipitada. Sin embargo en el 4º libro, si no llega al 5 es porque cierra de golpe las historias que se suponen han unido los distintos libros, en un caso de forma totalmente brusca y en el otro de tal manera que, aunque queda todo perfectamente preparado para considerarlo un final más o menos cerrado, deja abierta aun la posiblidad de una nueva entrega, y, francamente, espero que no haya más, ya que el desarrollo de la serie ha sido ciertamente irregular.
Unwanted Desire is the 3rd in a short, hot and slightly more erotic than what Cyndi writes series. I love them, Cyndi been able to give the reader action, betrayal, deception, hot alpha shifters and mates that match them in every way. I have read each in the series and loved each one even though I personally am not a fan of short reads. Cyndi has a talent for giving the reader a well crafted world and characters that jump out at you from the pages. These reads are a bit spicier than what she normally writes and I loved that as well. Keep up the great work Cyndi, now I am waiting for your next release *taps fingers* patiently I promise ok all right pre-order might have already been hit.
