Kisri by Moira Rogers* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*Kisri has been allowed to do what she wanted, within limits, growing up.  Her cousin Mal watched out for her while she learned to defend herself.  Now that all the men in her family have gone off to war, she has no one to protect her from the lions that want to mate her because she is royalty.  Her solution, hide out in her cousin's war camps disguised as a fellow soldier.Ennon is Mal's right hand and he is responsible for breaking down the war camps, he never expected to find Kisri among his camp.  He is charged with bringing her to Mal safely and untouched, he didn't know how hard the second task was going to be.I loved Kisri's character.  She is a free spirit that just wants to live her life without having to fight off men that are only interested in her title.  She wants to be able to choose her own mate and I can't blame her.  She is strong and independent and wants a mate that accepts her for who she is and doesn't want to change her.Ennon is a stand up guy that is super-sexy.  He wants to get her to Mal untouched but he can't turn down her offer for him to teach her the ways of men and women.  He never meant to mate her, it just happened.  He's not sorry about it but he does act cowardly by pushing her away and not letting her make her own decisions.I loved that the story was primarily about the two of them and the journey they are undertaking.  The scenes were fun but also very sexy, especially their lion play.  Ennon is a dominate lion that can to accept Kisri as she is and he doesn't need her money or family name.  They both thought they could walk away from their encounter but neither expected to lose their heart in the process.Mal is a true leader who loves his cousin and wants her to be happy.  He senses the mating bond right away, he is mad that Ennon broke his trust but he doesn't want them to suffer either.  He forces Ennon's hand and encourages him to tell Kisri she has been mated, to let her decide if she wants to accept the mating bond.Overall I really liked Kisri and give it 4 Flaming Hearts.
