booksafety 's review for:
The Second and His Bonded
by Kiki Clark
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
“You deserve someone who’ll take care of you, and I’ve wanted to be that person for a long time. I’ll give you what you need, and you’ll be mine. Understand?”
I enjoyed this one more than book 1. It had a unique plot point where one MC suffers emotionally and physically because of a missing connection with his pack, and I thought that was neat. It was a sweet and slow romance as well, which I often prefer. I do wish we got to know Bennett better, as most of the focus was (understandably) on Kieran.
I’m being good and reading this series in order to get the overarching plot, which also means I get to see more of the side characters throughout, which is cool. I’m curious about the next book, surprisingly enough.
Entertaining and sweet with good narration, but I’m once again complaining about the lack of shifting in a shifter book.
