Finally! The book we've all been waiting for! Zoe King, the sister of current alpha of the pride.Similar to Mara (heroine of the third book in the series - Serengeti Lightning), Zoe wants to get out of town and find an eligible man as all the good ones are taken up or are too scared to approach her since she's the alpha's sister. Her intended triumphant departure was stalled (literally) when her vehicle breaks down and further obstacles are thrown in her path by the form of hot mechanic, Tyler Minor.Hmm... I think whether you would like or love this book would depend on your personal taste and style. The writing style in this book is certainly different from her previous books. There's also a slight change in the focus in the plot, with more action and a little bit of mystery, but less focus on the emotions of the characters. Perhaps this change was made since Zoe's plot was sounding dangerously similar to Mara's. It would have been interesting if Zoe had managed to run into another pride and meet someone from there. The pairing didn't resonate as well as the couples in the other books. It felt like, okay, we did the nasty, our lions are attrached, we are stuck with each other. Poor hero is stuck with another commitment which he didn't want.I far like her writing style in the previous books in the series likeSerengeti Lightning: Serengeti Shifters, Book 3When I say writing style, I don't mean the amount of passionate scenes, rather, it's the way she describes things, lays out the scene, and how she unfolds the plot. Unlike her pervious books, this book didn't reel me in. I just trudged through patiently, waiting for things to pick up and dutifully finished the book (after all, I had already read the whole of the series, so would like to know how things pan out). this book is okay. Not horrible. But not great either. If you haven't encountered this series before, I think it would be better to start with the earlier books.
