I was lucky enough to score an ARC of the first book in this series from the author. So when she emailed me with the second book I was extremely excited.I went into this book expecting a great story, a hunky hero and a tingling dose of sizzle sizzle - and that's exactly what I received.The best part about this set of unique warriors is that they sense their sheva (destined mate) straight away. The connection is instantaneous, their emotions strong and pure....and hot real hot.I have to admit I am being a bit picky with the 4 star rating. I was wavering on giving it a 4.5 or closer to 5 rating but there were a few things that didn't make it entirely perfect for me. Firstly, I enjoyed the first half of the book immensely, not only was it action packed, but it was well written. Highly description in an emotional and physical sense, and smooth to read. It wasn't until the second half of the book that the editing wavered a little. There were a lot of tiny word errors, that made the reading stutter a bit for me. But in saying that, I pick up these sorts of errors easily because I listen to the book on my kindle instead of reading it.The second thing that I felt wasn't entirely necessary, was a bout of monkey sex in the middle of an action scene. I know, I know - you're shocked right? I'm complaining about sex, but in this one particular case it didn't fit for me. BBUUUTTTT! Like I said, only being a hard task master. Unnecessary to mention really, but they are the reasoning for the 4 stars.The conflicts between Gideon and Lily made for a really interesting story. Could you really love a man that had devastated your family? What if your special abilities made you fall in love with this man? What if you needed him to survive?It was a roller coaster ride of emotion, action and hippety-dippety and I really enjoyed.I can't wait to see how Stephanie twists and turns the next story. How will the mating bond draw the next couple together? I'm already wondering how the story will be weaved to make it unique to the characters. Fingers crossed it's Ana.Favourite Quotes:"....Ever since I saw you in that hallway, I've been completely fixated on getting you naked. Inappropriate as hell, but I can't f***ing help it.""I can see down your shirt"He stayed right where he was, shielding Lily with his body, accepting her violent emotions, and running his hands over skin that was too precious to be marred with so many bruises.
