I like Kim Dare's books and style.I liked Ryland very much. He might seem confused, he may be a little lost, but I like characters that live life on their own terms. That's what causes the misunderstandings with Arslan. They are almost polar opposites (Arslan is older, were-wolf, professor; Ryland is younger, human, student). They both try to live according to their principles but the results of this make them clash. Arslan offers Ryland his heart, but at first Ryland can't accept it because he wants to adhere to Arslan's expectations to the letter. The two men take a while to achieve an understanding and to turn their physical chemistry into a deeper bonding, to turn instincts into trust.I would have loved to know a little bit more of the were-lions' world, for example why they live like that and why they need a human "sacrifice". I was intrigued by Kefir. I'll read the next book, because the series seems very interesting.
