Kane is the second Black Cougar novel by Eliza Gayle. The character development in this one is wonderful. Ms. Gayle shows the motivation for earlier actions, and we find that Lara is not the evil witch we believed her to be from book one. There is a reason for what she has done, and she may have been justified in her actions. Lara is a strong woman, determined to have her revenge, or maybe it is justice she really seeks. Kane was sure of his mission, and as the last Gunn enforcer, he is all that his brother was: strong, handsome and powerful. But, unlike his brother Lucas, Kane is not happy as an enforcer, and questions the authority given and taken away by the council of the clans.  He questions things, and doesn't accept all at face value. I loved the mystery behind it all, and we get an idea about who is behind the trouble. The one thing in this book that I didn't care for was that there was no real solution: Lara still has much to find out about the past. Ms. Gayle's Black Cougar world is one of shadowy motives and mysterious histories, but it is an intriguing book all in all. I loved the way the relationship between Lara and Kane grew, not sudden, but with give and take on both sides. If you can be satisfied with a happy for now, with more future action, this one is for you.
