BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Fear has a scent. So does desire…
Ana Cordona has been a strong leader for the lupine shifters who survived after all the males and most of the females in her pack were mysteriously poisoned. As tough as she is, with no Alpha male, the pack is vulnerable to the devious shifter Taggart, who wants to claim both their ranch and Ana as his own. When Connor Armstrong comes back into her life, promising protection, it’s almost enough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her before—and reluctantly accept his offer to mate.
The minute Connor sees Ana again, it reawakens a raw hunger. He must have her for his bondmate—his wolf cries out for it. But his human side knows he must proceed with caution because of their complicated past. If he is to truly have her body and soul, he must go beyond his burning desire and win back her heart. Whatever it takes, he is determined not to leave her side again.
But Taggart and his rival pack are not their only enemies. A human element in town is targeting shifters. Their plan not only threatens Ana and Connor’s future, but the lives of the entire pack…

REVIEW:
Connor is back and he wants Ana. He has waited a very long time for her and now he won’t take no for an answer. But sometimes strong handing the woman you love is not the best way to convince her you are the love of her life. Sometimes you have to be an Alpha. When Ana’s pack is under attack yet again by an unknown force, Connor will do anything and everything in his power to protect his woman and his new pack
Ana is now the leader of her pack, after someone poisoned and killed all the males and pregnant females of her pack. Not only does Ana have to worry about who poisoned her pack coming back, the neighboring pack is trying to take over her pack. Ana needs to find a way to prove to the other pack that just because she is a female doesn’t mean she is going to let them push her around. But when a meeting with the rival pack leader goes wrong Ana finds herself in very big trouble with no way out. That is until Connor, the love of her life, the man who left without a word steps in and saves her. While Ana is thankful for Connor’s help, she can’t understand why he is back. But she promises herself that she will not fall for him again.
Connor and Ana are a great couple. They both love each other so much, but don’t know the best way to show it and with so much history between them it is hard to know if this time is real. Ana fears Connor will walk out on her again, while Connor fears that he will never be good enough for Ana. When in all reality they are a great Alpha team and when they learn to work together their pack will be stronger than ever.
I really enjoyed this first book in Katie Reus new Moon Shifter series. Katie does a great job of setting up the Moon Shifter world. Rival packs, murders, kidnappings, lost loves, new loves, Alpha males vs Alpha females. I am very much looking forward to Katie’s next installment in the Moon Shifter series an e-novella Lover’s Instinct (Aug 2012) and book 2 Primal Possession (Sept 2012)
This sounds like a great read. It's a new author for me too!
