text: Maybe spoilers Wow...I am disappointed. Was so excited for this book but turned out to be the weakest. And shortest it seemed. Bishop and Loren were separated for most of the book. Yet once they meet, it's just so easy and rushed. I expected more fireworks and more fight I guess? Loren was sweet and pliable and I dunno. I wanted more sass. But I suppose that's not what the authors were aiming for with her character. I was also waiting in vain for this ferocious alpha leader Bishop to just snap. And go all crazy and claim his mate. But Bishop seemed so tamed and a complete gentlemen. Which was nice but eh. He was the oldest and on the brink of dying. I wanted and needed more savagery to be unleashed. Hell, Valen and even the evil guard Greg triggered a more visceral reaction in me. As for Gordon. Some badass villain he turned out to be. Blink and he was easily decimated. Even the showdown between him and Bishop was lackluster and just too simple. I wanted more bloodshed. And now... sigh. A new character is introduced but I kinda am just meh.
