Anyone who's read my reviews knows that I have a clear love for Sommer. That being said, I wasn't sure how much I'd like the Divination Falls series. I'd never really read anything shifter-based, although my television viewing involves all sorts of supernatural shows.But trusting my love for SM and the way she develops her characters, I dove headfirst into Tryg's story. He jumped off the page at me in his full Kingly glory. I felt for him, being shunned from his community for something he had no control over. I wondered where he was going to find his solace, and along came Luke.I don't know if anyone else fell for our handsome see-er, but I did. His quiet demeanor, and willing - and eager -  acceptance of Tryg's attentions just struck a chord in my heart and I devoured page after page, even as Tryg devoured Luke.The idea of opening this trilogy with a quest was a good one. I liked the idea of a town where shifters and others of the ilk were welcome with open arms. The reveal of it, and the tease of the inhabitants themselves towards the end, after all is said and done, leads nicely into the next book.Now for the sex. Yeah, the sex. Ummmm.....where was  I? Oh right, the sex. Sommer is brilliant at sexual tension, and she brings it here. Tryg's self control as he tries not to hurt Luke, while at the same time wanting to just ... well, you get what I mean....is above and beyond. I don't know many human males that can exhibit that amount of self control. In my imagination, the King of the Jungle doesn't have any at all. Which is why Tryg is such a great character. Sommer equally balances his human and animal sides. And when the sex finally happens, well, let's just say that a snow bath was looking damn good.Once again, a home run for Sommer.
