The third book in the series was just as much fun for me to read as the first two. We now have four men trying to deal with what happened at the end of book two - thank God they're werewolves and heal easily. I loved the 'side effects' of the drugs making the wounded even hornier than they already are, by the way - a very hot idea!

I also liked that some of the time was spent on showing their deepening and changing relationships. That's part of the charm - that there is more than sex between show more these men, and each of them fulfills a defined and necessary role. A fifth man turning up at their doorstep was a slight surprise - but maybe it shouldn't have been? As for the ending - I am now beginning to think this is going to go too far (i.e., become even more unlikely than it already is). I really hope it won't - this series is such fun, and I would hate to see that ruined. show less

I loved this second book as much as the first. With the same key elements of a big strong Dragon (Todd from the first story) and, in this case, three physically weaker humans, the story swept me away into a fairy tale situation of the perfect hero rescuing his mates. The dark threat that hangs over Todd added just enough tension, and a nice twist at the end, to keep me wanting to read. That plus the additional background about dragon shifter history made this a fascinating second installment show more for the series.

Todd has more to deal with than loneliness - he carries a secret that could cost him his life. It makes him afraid to accept the men he has rescued from horrible abuse as his mates, although he desperately wants to claim them. His honesty and honor when trying to hold back was admirable, but I was still relieved when he ultimately gave in to his need - and the love he begins to feel. Getting help from Gabriel (from the first book) in clarifying his situation was a good way of solving his issues.

Dylan is the most adorable of the three. Mute due to having been mistreated especially harshly, his ability to read others doesn't only let him open up to Todd before the other two are able to, it also is crucial support in fighting off the crisis at the end of the book. Seth and Bryce each add their own personality elements to making this family special.

This fourth book in the series definitely takes a turn for the more serious. Not only in terms of the issues between the main characters, but also in terms of the external problems they have to face, and the overarching story. Where the enemies have been more or less in hiding before, with only an odd appearance and mention here or there, they come out into the open in this book. The result is mayhem and destruction, as well as some pulling together of old friends for mutual support.

Brio is show more a fae "spy", as he calls himself, in charge of gathering information about the human world and maintaining trade between the fae and the human plane. He has also been looking for his mates forever, but when he finds them, it is in the middle of one of them in crisis, and the villains closing in. It takes a while for Brio to adjust, and nothing quite goes how he expects, but he is determined to make the relationship with the O'Hagan twins work.

Finn and Ferguson are very close, and when Ferguson jumps to help defend their mother against an unexpected demon attack, it has disastrous consequences. Ferguson fears Brio won’t want him now, and tries to withdraw. Of course, Finn will have none of that, and neither will anyone else of their friends, but Ferguson has a very hard time dealing with his new reality. I loved how Finn never let him retreat into his shell.

This is a book about dealing with a disfiguring injury, and the support you can get from lovers and friends – if you let them! If you like stories about men dealing with loss and hardship, if you enjoy flawed characters struggling with a new reality, and if you're looking for some very hot between-the-sheets action, you will probably like this book. show less

This is a great start to a new series. There was enough of an introduction to explain how this world works for me, as well as two engaging characters: Cal, the lust demon, who is actually a really good guy, and Gabe, the orphaned fae, who is looking for love. Oh, yes, and there is male pregnancy.

Cal is one of five lust demons who run a sex club. That alone is hilarious, but the way he tries to match couples to ensure they are happy is very touching. He doesn't believe he deserves that type show more of love himself, doesn't even think it's possible, so he's in for an interesting learning experience. His resistance to new concepts was a bit annoying, but fit his character and was believable. He wasn't the 'bog bad demon' I've seen in stories before, so that was an interesting variation.

Gabe is an orphaned fae, who finds out that not only is he destined to be a mate for the initially reluctant Cal, he is also going to have his mate's children. He does giggle a lot and pregnancy hormones aren't easy to deal with, but his underlying strength helps him cope. This is also one of the few books that actually goes into some detail on the pregnancy and birthing process, so be warned, LOL.

I liked how the couple found their way into the new relationship. Both characters have their weaknesses, which made them more real to me - as much as you can talk about real where demons and fae are concerned. The focus on having a baby and all the prep that comes with it was fun (if unexpected), as were the reactions of the secondary characters. This is defintely a 3.5 star book for me and I look forward to reading the next volume! show less
