Carmen Mendoza has spent most of her life avoiding the wolf shifter politics of her father and uncle. But now they have decided she can be useful to their attempts to gain power, regardless of whether or not she is willing to cooperate. The only person willing to get in their way is Alec Jacobson, a wolf who turned his back on the shifter hierarchy to follow his heart. Alec has been doing everything he can to keep New Orleans neutral for all supernaturals. His need for Carmen may force him back into the political arena in order to change the rules.

The pull of attraction is evident from the first time Alec and Carmen meet, though neither really wants to get involved. But Alec’s strong protective instincts will not let him allow Carmen to be used as a pawn by her father and uncle. His dominant personality is part of what draws Carmen to him and when she ends up staying at his house, their attraction grows. Her empathic abilities make her the perfect match for Alec because it allows her to understand him in a way he won’t let anyone else. Even with all the obstacles, their need for each other is extremely strong and explosive. Sparks fly whenever they’re together and the passion between them burns bright. They are strong enough together to face the challenges of wolf shifter politics both have been trying to avoid.

This is a wonderful addition to the Southern Arana series. Moira Rogers has written a gripping tale full of great characters, some old and some new. Though Alec and Carmen are certainly the focus, the secondary characters really keep the story flowing. All of the books in the series can be read on their own, but it’s hard to imagine not wanting to read all of them after meeting the characters. Everything about his book, and series, is fantastic and will leave readers anxious for the next story.
