Book Description:
Forget the foreplay. For the truly
committed, it’s all bite.
Willow has loved Devon and Case for
as long as she can remember, but as lion shifters they will eventually find
their mates. When she allows herself to be with her two lions after a drunken
party, she fears she’s ruined a lifelong friendship and flees before morning.
Devon and Case have been
inseparable since they could walk, but they can’t tell anyone that they are
mates. The pride of shifters they belong to won’t accept a same-sex mating.
There’s no way they’ll accept their love for Willow?
When a shocking revelation brings
Willow’s world crashing down, she has no choice but to tell Devon and Case how
she feels. Will they be able to accept what fate has thrown at them? Do they
want to?
Excerpt:
Case let go of
Willow’s shoulder and poured them all another shot. He wanted to get out of
here, wanted to be alone with his mate and the female he cared about more than
anything else in the world. He stared at Willow, took in her long brown hair
that curled at the ends, the color of her amber eyes, and her innocent
expression. She was so damn pretty, but she didn’t think she was, didn’t see
herself as anything more than chubby and ugly no matter how many times they
told her the opposite. Willow was smart, quiet, and timid, and so unlike the
other lionesses in their pride, but she was theirs, had been part of their
lives for as long as they could remember.
He loved her more
than just as a friend, and he’d spoken about those feelings with Devon. It
hadn’t been a surprise when his mate had said the same thing. But it wasn’t
smart or fair to be with her as anything more than friends. She’d find a mate
one day, and if they were physical with her, a lot of emotions would get sticky
in the mix. It was better if they kept things platonic even if it was hard as
hell.
He watched his
mate throw back the shot, took in the strong six-foot-six height of his mate,
the long black hair that fell over his forehead, and the light green eyes. His
mate was a gorgeous bastard, but it pained him to keep their connection from
others. He wanted to shout it loud and proud, but it wasn’t safe or smart to do
so, not until everyone was more accepting of two males mating. As it was he
didn’t know what would happen to them, or how they would be treated if they
came out now.
Case had always
liked males, had always jerked off to thinking of their hard bodies, long
cocks. But he loved women too, loved the soft curves, soft voices. He couldn’t
lie and say he hadn’t thought about being with another male throughout his
life, about how muscle against muscle would feel, but they had only been
thoughts, up until he’d been seventeen and seen Devon as his mate. He just wanted
to let go, be who and what he wanted to be, and not worry how it would affect
the pride, or who would care. But that wasn’t reality. What he knew for damn
sure was he wanted to fucking take Devon and Willow, even if she wasn’t his
mate by bond, hard and fast, get lost in them, and fuck up anyone who told him
it was wrong.
His thoughts were
interrupted when Willow tossed back the shot. She was not acting like her
reserved self right now, but she was drunk. He’d only ever seen her like this
on a couple other occasions, and it always made her more outgoing, less hidden.
She leaned in
close so only he could hear her say, “Case, I think maybe I had way too much to
drink.” She leaned against him and he held her close, looking over her head at
Devon. His mate looked worried.
“Let’s get you
home, sweetheart.
“No, my parents
will kill me. Can I stay at your place?” She pulled back. “My parents won’t
care. They loved you too, and I know your parents are gone for the weekend.”
He smiled and
pushed a stray piece of hair off her forehead. “Yeah, sweetheart. I wouldn’t
want you to be alone anyway.”
He led them out of
the party, Devon behind, his anger still tangible. Case wanted to comfort
Devon, because even if he was enraged, someone wanted to take advantage of
their Willow. Now was not the time.
My Mini Review:
Another great story by Jenika Snow. Willow is a sweetheart who is in love with Case and Devon, even though she knows that nothing will come from her feelings. Case and Devon are mates in a pride that does not accept same-sex matings. They are also very protective of Willow as well as attracted to her. This is a beautiful and well written story with wonderful characters and a fascinating storyline. This short romance gets 4.5 star for its emotionally moving content that had me captivated from beginning to end! ~Booklover Sue
