I thought I loved Jazz and Rafe in Unexpected Find - the first book in the Royal Pride series (check out review here - /Unexpected Find/ ) But I adored Devin and Lena. ADORED DEVIN!!!!!!! This series is seriously my new fave shifter book/series. (And that is a big call!!!!!!!) I found this series when I did a blog tour for the first book, recently the author Nancy contacted me and asked me to review her 3rd book in the series, so I thought I better catch up and read this one first. I was instantly reminded why I adored Unexpected Find. This book is fast paced, hot, romantic, amusing, and UNPUTDOWNABLE!!!!! I literally finished this book  after midnight last night, my hubby even kicked me out of bed because I would not turn my kindle off!Lena  is well aware of the shifter world (due to her stepfather being a shifter, and retired from Shifter Affairs, as well as having a baby sister who is a shifter). When her baby sisters life is put in danger by a bunch of 'single shifters' who want to sell the little girl for a mate, Lena puts her life on the line to keep her sister safe by acting as a decoy. The Royal Pride on the trail to capture the shifters who want to kidnap the young girl, catch Lena in what they think is a hand off of the young cub, and hunt her. Devin (the unstable Royal Shifter from book 1) catches up to Lena, just as the bad shifters get to her. His cats, having scented her and decided she is his "one" becomes enraged when they see her being mishandled by the bad guys and his cats take control. He blacks out, goes on a rampage and tortures them all, also accidentally injures Lena. In an attempt to save her life out of guilt, and his cats insistence he partially bonds with her.Lena wakes up and has no idea what happened, other than the fact that her parents have been murdered, her baby sister is out there somewhere being kept safe by her other sister, and a shifter thinks she is responsible for the cubs kidnap. Oh and the fact that the shifter keeping her hostage is the most attractive man she has ever met in her life, and something inside her calls for him. It does not take long for Devin and his pride leader Kade to realise they do not have the whole story, and Devin attempts to make Lena trust him so they can find the whereabouts of the little cub. Lena and Devin's attraction to each other is intense and insatiable, the connection they have is profound. And the first time in 300 years Devin's cats are settled, they know that Lena is the one, and they as well as Devin will stop at nothing to have her.Lena is such an awesome chick, she is so hard core, and although she has never felt an attraction or a cosmic pull to anyone before like Devin, she will absolutely not let him complete the mating process just because he feels guilty about hurting her. Having felt like she came second her whole life when it comes to men, she feels that she deserves a man who wants her for her, and not because of some misguided sympathy. Devin, does not care about why he has an attraction to Lena, just that he is, and his cats do, so he will have her as his mate. Devin is so funny, he really has no clue how to talk to women, and be in a relationship with them. There were times when I was thinking 'Devin stop talking!!! you are just digging yourself a bigger hole!!!!' It is so clear that he is in love with Lena, but he keeps accidentally pushing her away,  he needs to learn that there is so much thing as too much honesty! He is so adorable thought, he deserves so much happiness after the torture he has lived with for hundreds of years, he is my fave character. I would love to read more about Devin and Lena they were so much fun!!!!!!So if you love shifter books, pick up this series, as you will not be disappointed! Watch this space for the review of Favorite Obsession - Royal Pride #3."I'm sorry I hurt him but it would've been a mistake staying with him. You're the man I was waiting for." (Lena)"And you're the one I've waited for. You're my beautiful mistake and the best damn one I've ever made."(Devin)
