They are Kickass and full of sass. Tessa Pride Kincaid has been through hell and back. She is strong but she will need to stay strong because things are going to throw her off left and right. Jared is being an ass and she needs someone to support her and love her. She has had too many others in her life tear her down and make her someone she is not Tessa is done having others try to conform her and if walking away is what she has to do to find herself that is what she will do.<\/p>\n<p>I am so pissed at our &#8216;ole boy Jared he is keeping secrets and not just from Tessa but his brothers.\u00a0 Sometimes it is a good thing when your past comes back to bite you in the ass or in Jared&#8217;s case to help him pull his head out of his and kick it too.<\/p>\n<p>We are introduced to some new Characters in this book and man sure didn&#8217;t see those connections and twists coming. Things are going to get nasty here soon so glad the VC Warriors have such strong mates that can hold their own and have the Warriors backs. Tessa amazes me no matter how many times she is kicked down she gets back up even stronger. This woman has endured more that what some men could come back from. I love the mates series just as much as Warriors series and cannot wait to read about the rest of these amazing women.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Teresa Gabelman is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the &#8216;Protectors Series&#8217;.
