This latest book from Charlie Richards is a very nice addition to the Stone Ridge series. Here, a couple of characters previously introduced in other stories are given the focus as they discover each other to be mates. Valarius is a lion shifter attending a conference that has the focus of what to do about the government discovering there are shifters. Brice is a human who was previously abducted by wolf shifters and doesn't have the greatest feelings towards them because of the experience. The two meet at a club when Valarius steps in to save Brice from some thugs, and the sparks begin to fly. When Valarius finds out that Brice is shifter-shy, he has to decide how to go about breaking the news to him. Should he wait for Brice to fall in love with him first? Should he just be open and honest? Valarius tries to deal with this while members of his previous pack try to kill him because of old grudges.The characters are very nice here. A good amount of attention is given to both Val and Brice, and they are well developed. The story has an ample amount of action and suspense, and a nice amount of sexy romance too. The pacing is well enough, and the story easily flows. There's also ample appearances from other existing characters in the series. All in all, it's a good story and a good addition to the series.
