Drowning his emotions in whiskey, Tryg could not wait to get
his next mission as pride enforcer under way and get away from those who did
not agree with his personal choices. Like a rubber band twisted one too many
times, he choked on his words as he turned to tell the guy off that bumped into
him at the bar. He was not prepared to
feel what he did when his eyes locked with an amazing pair of bright blue eyes
filled with fear. A tingle of attraction raced through his body, but Tryg just
wanted to get out of that bar and away from the guys who had helped his pride
in the decision to send him packing. Fighting the urge to shift to his lion
form, Tryg again felt that tingle as a hand touched his shoulder and a single
word whispered caused his body to relax.
Luke had definitely stepped into the lion’s den. What was he thinking stopping a lion mid
shift? He ‘felt’ what Tryg was feeling and wanted to help. As the talked over
whiskey and nachos, Tryg’s attraction to Luke caught him off guard. Luke
explained that he was an empath and “felt” the rage building in Tryg as if it
was his own, but much stronger than he had ever encountered. Tryg, in return,
felt possessiveness and attraction for the kid that sat across the table from
him which compounded when talk turned to that of Luke being a wanderer due to a
bad home. Again, Tryg did something he
never thought he would. He offered to take him on his mission in the morning,
but not before they spent the night together. (Lots of hot man lovin taking
place here J)
As one of the pride’s enforcers, Tryg’s mission is to find a
missing young girl, Abigail, who will be turning eighteen and would be shifting
for the first time. It’s a magical time for members of his pride. He explained
to Luke that some cults prefer to use fresh shifter blood during certain phases
of the moon and was just waiting for the official order to go hunt her
down. The order is given and the men
take to her last know location so Tryg can get a smell of the area. The ante is
upped…two girls are missing. In his lion
form, his senses are fine-tuned, but that means he has to shift in front of
Luke. He senses Tryg’s anxiety about this and blindfolds himself to prove his
trust.
Tryg and Luke follow the trail of abduction to Divination
Falls, a mystical and powerful town that draws shifters and seers where nothing
is as it seems. Tryg learns so much about himself on this mission like what he
wants, what he is willing to fight for and what he will kill to protect.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next
installment of the trilogy. The mystery of the abduction and the plot twist
kept me flipping pages, guessing to the very end. Tryg and Luke were great characters to sit
back and watch their relationship evolved.
These two were so easy to love.
Non-judgmental. Pure. The sex was intense from primal to slow and
intimate. Tryg’s feelings of not deserving love and Luke’s open heart allow
love to heal what others have condemned. They sensed what the other needed and
give it all. Love is love. It knows no bounds. The legend of finding ones soul
mate, or Lion Heart was the perfect ribbon to tie these two together.
Great job Sommer, now, please hurry with the next book.
