4.5 starsBRIEF SUMMARYRydere is the king of his people; he is seeking revenge against the man who is responsible for the death of many. He plans to take the granddaughter and heir of the man he despised, Emily, and kill her.  With proceeding with his plot to kill Emily, he discovers she is his life mate.THOUGHTSThis story was so good for me. The meshing of the different characters also is what made me fell in love with this story. Emily and Rydere's relationship from start to finish kept my interest. The moment Rydere discovers Emily is his mate, he tries everything to please her and makes her happy, even sacrifice her leaving him to make her happy. Emily is taken hostage against her will, but finds it hard to fight her calling as Rydere's mate.The other characters that the author gave us that really made this read more interesting, was Emily's cousins.  Her cousin's Jose, Mal and Mickey, were all taken as well by Rydere's men, Cormac, Aodhah, and Theo.  Each pair of the characters fascinated me and I didn't want their story to end.  It felt like a very dark updated version of the movie, `Seven brides for Seven brothers'. Weird analogy, I know, but that's what it felt like.I had few disappointments. I don't know what the author has plan for the series, but I hope the author explores each pair individually with their own books. I felt that there are many untold stories to be told with all the characters.  The ending, I enjoyed it but wanted there to be more. I was really aiming for 5 stars, but when I reached the last page I felt a bit disappointed; I felt I had to break a star in half. I am really looking forward to this series and hope it is going in the direction I see it going in.Storyline: GOODIntimacy: NONEEnjoyment: GOOD
