This was a pretty good story. I really liked Ava and Damon and their story was enjoyable. I’ve always liked both bikers and shifters so I was pleased to find a book that combined both of these in a good story. This is the first story I’ve read by this author and I liked it well enough that I’d consider reading more of her work in the future.

Ava is a young woman that’s very independent. Ava was adopted and her adopted father didn’t tell her about her heritage as a rare pure blood wolf shifter…one of the few female shifters. Ava hasn’t shifted yet and doesn’t know anything about who she really is. Her father is a general and she grew up knowing that she wanted a man that wasn’t an alpha male that would try to boss her around.

Damon is a wolf shifter and a guardian (aka enforcer) for the Arkansas wolf pack. He used to live in Louisiana but left after a gold digging girlfriend almost got him killed. He moved to Arkansas and has been doing his best to keep his head down and concentrate on doing his job for the pack.

Ava is kidnapped from her home by some rogue shifters. Female wolf shifters are rare and breed infrequently (they only go into heat once every 2 years) so shifter babies aren’t prevalent. The rogue shifters decide they want to kidnap some females to give them a drug that will force them into heat and then gang rape her (a gang of over 40 shifters). They plan to keep her pregnant to breed her for years but it doesn’t seem likely she’ll live that long with the way she’s going to be treated. Damon is nearby, working a different case for his pack leader when he gets a call about Ava being snatched. He’s sent after her and rescues her before anything bad is done to her and then getting her someplace safe. Things are a bit difficult because they can’t go home due to the rogue shifters causing issues so they have to go into hiding. The situation isn’t helped by the fact that Ava doesn’t know anything about shifters and doesn’t want to believe it’s true. I have to admit that when Damon proved the shifter thing to her, she took the news pretty well.

Damon and Ava have an instant and strong attraction to each other. Damon is used to women being fearful of him and Ava isn’t, instead getting in his face and arguing with him when she disagrees with his actions (which Damon likes a lot more than he should). They want each other but their situation is complicated by the fact that Ava is a rare female shifter (and of a high rank) so there’s no way Damon would be allowed to mate Ava. He tries to stress that he’s not interested in anything with her but really it’s that he knows he can’t have anything with her. Since they’re stuck together, Damon is constantly fighting his attraction to Ava and doesn’t succeed very well at keeping his hands off of her. Ava is happy about this because she’s wanted Damon from the beginning and not just for sex. The main issue becomes her status…which I don’t really get. Female shifters are rare and shifters of Ava’s bloodline are even more rare. Yet for some reason, Ava doesn’t have any choice about who she mates and will be put to death if she doesn’t marry who the pack leader says she’s supposed to marry? Really?!?! TBH, that part didn’t really make sense to me because if female shifters are so rare and the main shifter law is to protect females above all else why the hell would they kill her because she refused to mate a particular shifter? Obviously, this restriction causes a lot of issues between Damon and Ava. While they’re dealing with their attraction and the fact that they’re not supposed to be together, they try to keep Ava safe while searching for info on the kidnappers. There’s some drama and some danger but things do work out and some last minute good news allows Damon and Ava to get their HEA after all.

This was an enjoyable story. I really liked both Ava and Damon. Ava was a pretty cool heroine…while I didn’t always agree with her actions she wasn’t a TSTL heroine (thank goodness!) and I loved that she didn’t back down from Damon. Damon was a bit bossy but it was mostly when he was trying to keep Ava safe. I thought he had the right balance of “you will do what I say” vs. “i have a weak spot for my woman”. The story had some points where I had to suspend disbelief a bit but overall I thought it was a pretty good story. I’d recommend this story. 😀
