The story this time started a little slow but once things picked up they moved along at a stellar pace.

Who doesn't like a little bondage every now and again? Oh, those bears and their love of honey! Sigh, I need to move to Arkadia! Yummy steamy action, things get super sensual with some light BDSM type play. The mixed POV was fantastic, I love being in both characters heads, it makes the story so much fuller! Madison is fabulous, loved her attitude!! Such spunk and sass, she fits in very well with the girls! She initially starts of bad, dis-ing the yummy bear, but when she is in, she is all in, don't mess with her man! She knows how to be loyal and supportive, even when she is mad as Hell! Once he meets his mate, the gloves are off!!! Love him!! Please can a bear carry me off to get my full attention? And he is wickedly delicious in getting her to admit he is in her heart! Again, tie me up and bring it on! I freakin love bear shifters!! I am ecstatic Ms Alder picked a bear for this next book in the series!! And did you see that yummy cover art? My dreams are going to be super naughty tonight!Ĭonner is the third brother in the Arkadian clan and there is so much more to him that even I suspected! The first 25% of the book is all his POV, it had a lot of exposition but kept a nice pace. When evil once again begins to stalk Arkadia, Connor is suddenly on a timeline to find his missing mate before a maniac kills the one person to give him the solace he desperately craves. The only problem is that the man he truly is, isn't what Arkadia knows him to be. When Madison dismisses him easily he knows he will have to take drastic measures for his mate to see the man he is. With his mind burdened with the terrible images of the killer's aftermath, he's not looking to find his mate. Will she let perception cloud her judgment to the point where she may lose her mate? Connor Arkadion is on the brink of exhaustion, helping to track a serial killer. No matter how downright sexy the man is, she has trouble seeing beyond his apron. Upon moving to Arkadia, Madison Claybourne, a high-powered New York lawyer, discovers that she is mated to the diner's busboy.
