Unclaimed (The Amoveo Legend)
Tatiana, a veterinarian who is half-Amoveo and can take on a timber-wolf form, goes to the remote Montana ranch where the prince of the Amoveo is staying safe with his wife, guarded by a coterie of guardians, including Dominic. The horses on the ranch are all ill and may be dying. The Amoveo do not want to bring any outsiders into their space. They have been subject to attacks by human assassins as well as by Amoveo purists who want eliminate all hybrid Amoveo. Determined to use her ability to sense what animals are feeling to help the ailing horses, Tatiana takes her assistant, Matt, along, pretending that they’re a couple to deter Dominic, her designated Amoveo mate, because she wants nothing to do with Amoveo mating traditions. But the proximity to her Amoveo mate has an effect on Tatiana’s gift, and the most seriously ill mare lets Tatiana know that there is a traitor in their midst. Though no reader should try to start reading Humphreys’ long-running Amoveo Legend series (Undone, 2013) with this title, series readers who have acquired an understanding of the Amoveo and their powerful need for their true mates will enjoy it. --Diana Tixier Herald
