I was really looking forward to reading this book, and it was just okay. So this is Jon's book. I didn't like Jon at first; I think that was the whole point of the character's introduction ( My problems with this book were many, so prepare for a long review. ;) The first was how Jon was treated, especially by Linus, at the beginning of the book. I just never got attached to the character of Kelvin. His accent was difficult to understand, and he kept lapsing into Gaelic, which usually turns me off in a book. Plus, I'll be honest, I'm just not enamored with Scotsmen like a lot of romance authors are, apparently. And then there was some discrepancies between how the character was portrayed at different parts of the book, and it felt like the author was changing her mind (and directions) as the book progressed. Kelvin stated that he had received blowjobs (and, inferred, aplenty) before, but then, a third of the way (ish) into the book, all of the sudden Kelvin is viewed as a big hairy ugly beast who no one wants to be with in the pack (or whatever the hell they're calling themselves) and it's a huge chore to have him around and he's just more animal than man and he doesn't deserve to be treated with humanity. Okay, that's fine...but who, exactly, if he's so repulsive and disgusting ( The difference between how Kelvin and Enoch were treated just shows this disparity. There was also a lot going on with Quade and Roman and Linus and Arman, and it was just TOO MUCH crammed into this book, and it got to the point that I was having trouble keeping up with the plot. Also, as an aside, I am totally sick of reading about someone's "blown pupils." LOL Sorry not sorry. I really liked the series up until this book, so I left feeling pretty bummed out about this installment. There's room for more books in the series if the author is so inclined ( no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesL'Ange (3)
L'Ange: Book Three Jon Slade finally met his mate, but instead of it being the happiest day of his life, it became the saddest when wolf shifter Kelvin MacCurdy chose his obligations over their fated bond, leaving Jon to pick up the pieces of his shattered dreams. Lucky for him, Roman Howell, his boss and the owner of L'Ange, saw promise in the forlorn lion and put him to work so he wouldn't have time to sit around and lick his wounds while he waited for his wounded spirit to heal. Then the wolves make an official visit to L'Ange, and Jon finds out Kelvin's pining for him is taking its toll on his position as the king's champion. Though Kelvin's training and the expectations of others steer him toward an intended mate, Jon has an unbreakable hold on his heart, and it's no longer possible for Kelvin to keep himself from where he truly belongs. But the conclave brings more than Kelvin to the château. It also brings a challenge to jackal alpha Quade Danas, a threat that Quade and Roman, Arman and Linus, and Jon and Kelvin may have to fight in order to keep L'Ange's family intact. Jon never wanted to lead a pride, but the loyalty and devotion to one is ingrained in him. Kelvin was raised to punish anyone who questioned his king, but the calling to protect others runs through his veins just as deeply. To come out on the other side of the battle together, Jon and Kelvin will have to hold the darkness of solitary pride and broken hearts at bay--and find strength in belonging to something bigger than themselves.
