For almost two hundred years, Trace has searched for his mate. Now he’s met Cordray. Brash, sassy, and covered in tattoos, Cordray isn’t at all the type of female he thought his mate would be, but he can’t deny the way his body reacts every time she’s near. She calms him and sparks his desire in a way no one ever has, which terrifies him, because if she has that kind of power over him, what else is she capable of?
Cordray thinks Trace is the most exciting male she’s ever met, but she refuses to drop her guard and let him in. She loved deeply once, only to be spurned when her lover mated another. The heartbreak was so severe, she lost her ability to feel. Trace has reawakened her sense of touch, but she’s scared that if she takes another chance on love only to be rejected again, this time she’ll lose her life.
With both committed to pushing the other away, every conversation escalates into a war of words. But for these two, their arguments are just foreplay. It’s only a matter of time before their desire grows stronger than their resistance. No other has tamed Trace’s inner beast the way Cordray can. And now that he’s found her, God help anyone—or anything—that tries to take her from him.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I have not read the entire series but I did read the first book a few weeks prior to this one releasing. I got a glimpse of Trace and immediately wanted to know more about him. You can read this book without reading the previous 6 books and figure out what is going on. I’m sure it is easier to follow if you have read them in order though. Let me start by saying I loved Cordrays tough attitude by when she let some of her wall down and we say the real Crodray is when I fell in love with her. Trace he was amazing to see his submissive side one minute and then that tough guy side come out was like nothing I ever expected from him.
Trace is the one hiding in the shadows keeps everything held in tight. He needs to submit to keep things in check and Micah needs to dominate. They make the perfect friendship but Trace is still missing something looking for his mate the one that will make him complete. What a shock when he realizes the one he despises most is the one that he is drawn to and calms him without dominating him.
Cordray the tough as nails tell it like it is and never back down loathes Micah and Trace but she knows there is a connection between her and Trace from their first touch. However, she has had her heart shattered before and there is no way she will let anyone get that close again no matter how much of a connection there is. Unfortunately for Cordary once Trace makes his mind up he is on the hunt for what is his can her walls hold up or will Trace blast threw them.
Watching Cordray and Trace try to push each other away when their instincts were telling them they belonged together was astounding. It made my heart skip a few beats when Micah had to help Trace tame his beast. The chats that Sam and Cordray have are heartwarming to see Cordray open up and treat Sam as a friend. To see how both Cordray and Trace are two different people when they are around Aiden and Null was the best. OMG the Epilogue was EPIC talk about pulling you in and making you want more. OH YEAH I definitely want more I have got to find out what is going to happen next.
