This is a very talented writer, capable of providing irresistible twists and turns to keep the reader reading! Most impressive and gratifying is that she shares her talent at no cost, asking only that her audience contribute to the local animal shelter or food bank instead!I especially appreciate the message she encourages of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. It's a creative way to make the point, without being preachy or self-righteous. As a mixed race female, I empathize with the issue and enjoy the innovative way the author instantiates such a real, volatile social issue. Her analogy is spot on!If I had to find fault with the books, it would be the extensive erotica. I understand why she uses such detail; to provide the reader with the extent of the characters' passion and "connection," but it's a bit too much for my taste. I'm not sure if she could have achieved the same result with less, however, I found it distracted too much from the plot and the other "action" in the story.Overall, a fantastic series that I have begun reading again! I think I read it out of order, so I'm starting over. I think "Betrayed: Days of the Rogue" was supposed to follow "The Mating." Since it didn't say in the title like the rest of the books, I read it last. But no matter, I'm enjoying the second round! :)I hope there is a final chapter to this series, as several questions are left unanswered: Does Damien fall in love again? What happens with The Purists? Who's their leader? Who sent those threatening letters? Who killed Damien's wife? Does Kane take over the pack he sent Damien to monitor? I can't wait to find out!
