About this book
EMMA
My brother's gambling debt made me collateral. My grumpy bear shifter rescuer is about to make me his.
One minute I'm living my quiet life; the next, I'm taken by dangerous men who want to use me as leverage. Then he shows up. Bodhi doesn't do conversation, but the longer I'm under his protection, the more I see what he's hiding. A man running from his past. An alpha avoiding his throne. And a hunger in his eyes that makes me feel anything but scared.
BODHI
She's trouble. A target with my enemies' crosshairs painted on her back. She's also mine.
Now she's making me feel things I buried years ago. Tempting me to claim what my bear insists is ours.
I left my clan to escape my father's legacy. Swore I'd never go back. Never lead. Never let anyone close enough to hurt me again.
But Emma's awakened something I can't control, the destiny I tried to avoid, and the beast I swore I'd never be.
Forced proximity meets fated mates in this scorching bear shifter romance. Guaranteed HEA.

This is one of my favorite shifters in the series. It is so well written and makes it hard to put down. The characters seem real. I know this is a three book series but I would LOVE to read more about Bodhi. )

Other than a few conflicts of information (eg: walking through the pack & him explaining what the mate mark everyone sees on her means - but later on after the building of their house conversation, he actually marks her [one example]) , the story was rather good. ) One person found this helpful
