Ever since he’s found his mate, Arctic Fox shifter, Liam; Raven is on a mission: break out his fox from the scientific facility he used to work for. In order to do this he enlists the help of some of the Stone Ridge shifters (yeah, Jared!) But once Liam is rescued, Raven isn’t sure he can return him to his family like he’d originally planned. Will love win out in the end or is Raven destined to be alone?I was waiting for Raven’s book and Ms. Richards doesn’t disappoint. In previous installments, Raven is not a very nice guy. He’s selfish to an extent that I wasn’t sure I could ever be on his side, but in Solider of Fortune’s Downfall, he finally finds his good side…and his mate. Now that doesn’t mean that Raven’s going to roll over and be a sweetheart, no, he’s still got an edge and I loved that about him. Ms. Richards is able to write a story where the main character is not always a good guy, but in spite of that the reader can still like him, which takes some talent.My only niggle was the book should have been longer. Once Liam is rescued, Raven and his mate needed more on-page time to establish their bond and pull the reader into their romance. Other than that, this was another great installment to one of my favorite paranormal m/m series!Dark Divas Reviews
