If you haven't read the other Ashland Pride stories you could become confused with the family history in this story.  This is one really extended pride.  Ms. Butler really needs to publish a family tree somewhere; maybe on her web site so readers can understand what I think are the convoluted family connections.  I have read all the stories but I felt I had to go back and re-read each one so I could relate to the family problems.  It took until about the middle to get the order of things clear in my mind.  Of course, having read "Callie and The Cats" (#3 in The Wolf's Mate series was the basis for The Ashland Pride series.Tristan, Micah and Melody do find each other but come face to face with the violent lionesses and we are introduced to the Jilly who was kidnapped from her father Bradley and her panther mates twins Wyked and Fate.  Boy, those lionesses have a lot to answer for but we're given a history lesson as to why they act the way they do.There is a lot going on in this story so pay attention.  As with all of Ms. Butler's stories it is good but not as good as some of her others.
