Sair has had a hard life. She had to grow up too quickly and chafes at her brother the alpha of their pack and his rules and decisions. When Weylyn and Keir come into her life Sair grabs the chance at happiness and returns with them to their homeland. There she finds a new-found freedom and a mate, but her mate is nothing like she imagined. Marius is a stuffy and brooding man, the total opposite of the freedom loving Sair. Can the two find a way to their happy ever after or will the two be destined to be alone forever?

I enjoyed watching Sair and Marius find their way. The two are on opposite ends of the spectrum and work hard to find a way towards each other. Sair is a strong woman who knows what she wants and after getting a taste of freedom she is hesitant to do something that she thinks will take that freedom away from her. Marius is so set in his ways he is not sure he will be able to do what Sair wants or be what she needs. The two make a great couple and soon find that love is worth fighting for and that compromise does not mean giving up who you are. It was nice to see Sair begin to come into her own and find her own voice with the help of her friends and the support of Marius.

It was also nice to see many of the other characters and how they interacted. Love and trust is strong in all the relationships. Not only did the main characters pull me in but many of the secondary characters had a lot to say. I was quickly engrossed in the story and am eagerly waiting to see what comes next in this series.

This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
