I devoured this book in less than a day!! I just love this series and am so glad that I found it!!Book #2 is about Ink aka Jordan, who is the owner of "Club Ink", (a BDSM club that also has hot,sexy shifters everywhere)and his estranged mate Cherie who has some major trauma to over come in her life. I have to say that I was extremely impressed at how the author was able to deal with some of Cherie's trauma on top of having some very explosive sex scenes between Ink and Cherie. Even though this is a short story it packed a punch without seeming like there was a huge information dump going on.Years before when Ink and Cherie met they were instantly attracted to one another and Ink became extremely possessive over her and also very jealous. He ended up taking her as a mate forcefully, and Cherie ended up running from him right into the hands of some dangerous hunters. Both Cherie and Ink are tiger shifters, and when Cherie was captured she became tortured and in captivity for five years. She suffered immensely but found the strength to escape and ran straight to "Club Ink" where Ink was. She was put to work as a bartender with the condition that she seek help for her traumatic past. She had so many issues to work on that Ink stayed away from her but watched her from afar. Eventually his desire for his mate becomes too much and he seeks Cherie's counsellor out and requests (or I should say demands!) to know how to "fix" her!I fell in love with Ink in this book. His protective streak that comes out for his mate just melted my heart. Even though it was so hard for him to hear of her trauma he trudges through it and works so hard to help Cherie get better and overcome her fears. I also admired the strength that it took for Cherie to face her many terrors and move forward. This story truly was a story of such devotion to one's mate and how they work together to take back the lives that was taken from the both of them by evil people. It was wonderful to see some old familiar faces from Book one and of course, the character that everyone seems to love, Grisha-the sexy Russian!!I was impressed with this book and I felt the author had come along way from the first book. Onward to Book #3, and I am very excited for this one as it is all about Grisha!! Woohoo!
