Riaz has to work hard to prove that she isn’t, and IMO he manages it successfully.

Riaz is mentally, physically and emotionally committed to Adria, mating bond or no mating bond, but Lisette’s sudden reappearance in their lives (and the news she’s getting a divorce) leaves Adria feeling like she’s the second choice. The second half of this book gets 5 stars. Anyway, Adria is a more forgiving person than I am, so later on they do start a strictly friends-with-benefits relationship to help them both get over the people they’re missing. He rejects her in no uncertain terms, which frankly is why the book gets 4 stars and not 5 I wish she’d made him properly grovel for the hurtful way he spoke to him, even though I know he was in a bad place at the time. When she sees Riaz, the instant chemistry between them leads her to offer an invitation to her bed. So he leaves her alone and returns to the den to lick his wounds and mourn the end of the possibility.Īdria Morgan, a senior SnowDancer soldier, has just ended a decade-long relationship with a man who constantly made her feel inferior. Then he does – and discovers he’s too late: Lisette is happily married to someone else, and as a human, doesn’t even understand what the mating bond is or why she feels so comfortable with Riaz. Riaz Delgado is a SnowDancer sentinel and lone wolf, but he’s always looked forward to meeting his mate. In fact, for most of the book, the hero has a mating bond trying to pull him to someone else. They don’t develop that magical mating bond all the other couples in the series share. What I like about this one is that the hero and heroine AREN’T fated mates. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both. Too late, they realise that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Their coming together is an inferno… and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual.

Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to someone else.įor Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past.
