About this book
A new kind of Breed is faced with what happens when destiny and desire collide in the latest novel in the highly charged series from 1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh.
A decade ago Katy Chavos was a proud misfit who had her heart broken, crushed by a man who drew her close with one breath and pulled away the next. He left a mark she’s done everything in her power to erase. But when Katy’s job brings her back to the hometown she couldn’t wait to escape, seeing Dane again awakens something inside her that won’t be tamed....
Dane Vanderale isn’t like other Breeds. As a hybrid he’s stronger, more primal, and more determined to hide it. He’s also certain that Katy is not his mate—not that that stops him from wanting her with every part of his soul. He knows he hurt her deeply and he intends to make things right, but she is dead set on keeping him at arm’s length.
Despite their painful history, Katy can’t deny the intense attraction she still feels for Dane. And before long, it will be impossible for either to deny the truth that has been in front of them all along....

This is the thirty third book in this series. And it’s as satisfying as the first. This features the hybrid Dane Vanderale. He is a son of the first Leo and has unknown talents and family secrets.

Literally just got this and finished the book in less than 24hrs! I have been waiting for Dane’s story for so long and Lora did not disappoint! It was great seeing the more animal side of the charismatic Vanderale heir, showing he’s not always the cool cucumber he wants the world and other breeds to think he is. Funnily, I wanted to smack Dane upside the head so many times but I couldn’t help but feel for him because it’s obvious he loves Katelyn and he was warring with himself between his love...

Nice story that advances the Breed back and future stories. Dane has been a fixture of the Breed history for some time; nice for him to finally find his own mate - even if he does make a absolute hash out of it! Katy is a unique person with a tragic story of her own that leads to massive self esteem problems that Dane does not help with at first. Complex revelations that advance the Breed timelines and allow some hope. If she has them brewing, looking forward to more Breed stories again from...

This was a quick read for me as I had to stay up most of the night to finish it. I enjoyed the characters and how the story is expanding to include the “ three kings”. Looking forward to the continuation of the series. ) 2 people found this helpful
