LOVED Tina & Liam's story, even more than the 1st book. I have been eagerly awaiting this 2nd installation. So much so that I was excited to receive Lori King's email telling me, yesterday, that it had been released on Kindle - finally! LOL! I bought it, literally, right after I rec'd her email.Tina & Liam were introduced in book #1 Fire of the Wolf, as BFF of the heroine & cousin of the Alpha twins.Poor Tina, thrown into the deep end of the pool - was introduced to shapeshifters the hard way, during the 'battle' scene of book #1. Promptly cared for and cherished by Liam who could tell by the scent surrounding her home that she was HIS. She was in danger & he didn't even know her, yet was compelled to save & protect her.Both are somewhat damaged souls who have loved & lost before, though I will admit that Liam's story is pretty heart-breaking, while Tina should have been glad to be rid of her old fiancee - she is still overcome with guilt of what happened to him.The constant push-pull of their dynamic was easy to understand. Neither WANTS to want the other. Neither WANTS to love someone new. Neither WANTS to lose someone, again. But they, of course, can't help but fall in love anyway.Liam is remarkably patient with Tina, despite her rejecting him over & over again. Then again, she IS his mate. Does he have any other choice? Does Tina really HAVE to keep pushing him away from her? As in the 1st book I wanted to slap both Caroline & Tina at times & yell "Make up your damned mind, already!"Yet, love conquers all & I felt that Liam's & Tina's coming together at the end was better written & 'more real' than the 1st book.Keep 'em coming, Lori! They get better the further along you get. I'm really looking forward to Rafe & Ryley's story next, & then am REALLY hoping for Cash's story - that ladies man needs to fall!
