When half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother…and then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that she’s been lied to her entire life, she’s never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friend—warmly familiar and intoxicating.

Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the rush of mutual attraction when he sees Frankie again. He knows immediately that she’s his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with care—no matter how fierce his surging desires.

As aroused as Frankie is by Trick’s darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her past—not her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankie’s life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, it’s their destiny.

Ch 5 (25%)- (view spoiler)[ Hmm, still trying to guess what the big drama will be in this book. Obviously, Frankie will discover what really happened to her parents and my guess is that her human family was involved. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 10 (51%) - (view spoiler)[ "You also took your drivers test on a dinosaur" - OMG! I really need to start writing these quips down for later use! Regarding Drake - I'm sure he will come after Frankie to get to Trick, right? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 15 (75%) - (view spoiler)[ Ding! Ding! Ding! Bells are going off in my head.....Could good ole' Uncle Brad be the rich extremist funding this little war with the help of Mommy? There has to be a connection there. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is why Frankie reacts so strongly to the triplet's smell. I don't see how they can be involved yet. (hide spoiler)]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ Hmm, well I didn't like that one as much as some of the previous ones, but it was still good. I liked that neither Trick nor Frankie really fought the bond - that was refreshing after the last few books. But I did think the whole loss of memory plotline is kind of getting a little old. I was suspicious of the uncle after he tried to pay off Trick, but I was a little surprised by Cruz and the gay lover twist - even after the author laid the groundwork with Marcus and Rio, I was still oblivious.

I also didn't feel like Trick was all that interesting as an MC. This plot made him out to be the most badass enforcer, but isn't he like 5th in line or something? Now Dominic's story is the next book! He is already pretty interesting and fun. I can't wait to see who he gets paired up with and if she will think he is as funny as he thinks of himself.

Do you want to read the next one?

Yea sure

I think Dominic is coming up some time soon

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ “The point? Some people expect others to fall in line with what they want. They reject anyone who doesn’t, including those they love, for reasons only they can justify. And they won’t see that it’s wrong.” I kind of love this little truth! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ I really love how awkward Frankie kind of is. Her and Trick compliment each other so well. I think they are my favorite couple since book 1! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ I love how Frankie doesn’t fight the bond in this book. after a while host of females fighting their bonds tooth and nail in this series it’s refreshing to find a female that although she doesn’t want to leap right into it she isn’t fighting it either and I love that! (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[ I’m so glad that we got so much closure about Frankie’s past here. I was worried they were going to go straight to the pack war and not solve Frankie’s stuff. I did not see Brad with the unhealthy obsession that came right out of left field for sure. I think Dominic should be coming up and I can’t wait for his story after all these cheesy one liners we have had to listen to for months lol. (hide spoiler)]

When do you want to do book 8 Jennifer?
