My favourite of the series so far.

“You aren’t broken, baby. You survived hell. You are so much stronger than you think you are.”

This quote perfectly sums up fated mates Reinhold and Chase. Wolf shifter Chase has lived through a very tragic past and truly believes he is broken because of it. His dragon mate Reinhold is so kind and patient and will do anything to make Chase believe in himself again and that he’s deserving of a wonderful life.

Their story tugged on my heartstrings and it was an absolute joy watching Chase blossom into the man he’s meant to be. The strength and support of Reinhold slowly begins to make him feel safe and as he becomes comfortable around Reinhold’s family, and others, his cheekiness comes out and leads to some very cute and funny moments.

There is no quick fix approach from the author towards Chase and his troubles which I greatly appreciated. Even fated mates sometimes have to tread carefully, seek outside help and work through issues as they arise to go from insta attraction/chemistry to a HEA. Not to say that they don’t get very steamy at times!

I loved this instalment in the series. A new character is introduced, there’s a reappearance of the unknown entity from earlier in the series and once again numerous characters from previous books play their part. I’m excited for more!
