Excerpt
Troy hurried to stand in front of the two men, his head pounding. For one brief moment in the office he had thought that Anton had finally arrived, but a quick glance at the two men waiting for him quickly dispelled him of that hope. His heart sunk in his boots and he tried not to the let the deep disappointment he was feeling, show on his face. He had absolutely no idea what military men would be doing looking for him, but they might have news of what had happened to his man. Troy would listen to what they had to say. He was grateful when he felt Kane’s solid presence on one side of him and Shawn’s, the Alpha Mate, on the other.
“Troy Peterson?” The smaller of the two men spoke.
“Yes.”
“My name is Major James Harding. This is Second Lieutenant Charles Frost. I understand you are married to Captain Anton Sage?”
READ MORETroy stifled his gasp of surprise. Anton must have listed him as his next of kin – but to name him as his husband was unusual even given the repeal of DADT. However, he wasn’t going to have that discussion with these two men in front of him.
“That’s correct.” Troy couldn’t help the snap in his words, but there was something about Harding’s manner that put Troy on edge. The guy clearly didn’t approve of same sex marriages, if the lemon sucking look on his lips was any indication.
Harding stepped forward and handed Troy an envelope bearing the Military logo. Then looking at a point somewhere over Troy’s shoulder, the man said, “I regret to inform you that your husband, Captain Anton Sage, is missing, presumed dead. Unfortunately, due to the confidential nature of his assignment, we are unable to provide further details. However, please be assured that the United States Army has done everything in its power to locate and retrieve Captain Sage. We are sorry that we were unsuccessful.”
The entire workshop went silent for a moment before Troy burst out, “BULLSHIT.”
Adult Excerpt
“Fuck it all, mate, you are a truly gorgeous hunk of man,” Anton said appreciatively, as he ran his hands down Troy’s well defined oblique muscles. While Troy blushed at the compliment, it didn’t stop him shifting Anton’s hands to a more prominent part of his body.
“Three days of fucking foreplay, mate of mine, and not being able to do anything about it,” Troy whispered harshly in his ear, his voice raspy with want. “If you’re not inside me in the next five minutes I will be seriously questioning your technique.”
Anton growled. Although thrilled with Troy’s assertiveness and obvious need, he was used to being in control in all situations in the bedroom. But then Troy cupped his balls and gently gave them a squeeze and suddenly being in charge and setting his own pace didn’t seem so important. Getting deep inside of his mate was.
“Bedroom,” he snarled before he plundered Troy’s mouth with his own. Fuck, he could kiss his mate for hours, the sensations were so good. Troy’s mouth was made for kissing – firm and full lips leading to a deep warm cavern that begged to be filled with fingers, tongue or cock. Fully intending to test that theory later, Anton pulled away from Troy just long enough to say again, “Bedroom.”
Clearly dazed, Troy just looked at Anton a moment, and then turned and headed down a short hallway. Anton had enough time to register warm tones, a huge window of glass and some splashes of yellow, before his attention was drawn to the tantalizing sight of Troy bent over the bed, his ass tilted up as though waiting for his mate’s inspection.
“Oh fuck me dead,” Anton whispered as he moved quickly to stand behind Troy.
“Well, that’s partially the right idea,” Troy grinned as he thrust a tube back into Anton’s hands. “But the fuck me will do for now.”
COLLAPSECake Lady on amazon.com wrote:This installment continues the theme of the earlier books of a powerful Alpha wolf finding their mate and having to work through the traumas of the past and dire present threats. Starting with two fated mates who have never met (but have recognized each other through a carried scent), the story explores (sometimes overwrought) difficulties of suddenly adjusting to a permanent, intimate partner, this time focusing on a Special Ops soldier with PTSD. This installment includes a slightly gruesome (but, from my point of view, rationally cathartic), non-sexual BDSM scene. Readers who have enjoyed the sometimes over the top Alphas and somewhat overwrought clashes with an instant mate of the previous books will likely enjoy this entry, as well as a deeper backstory that is sure to be carried forward in future sequels.
Denise M White on amazon.com wrote:Let me start out saying - this is not my favorite book in the series. It's a good read but all of the other books are SO incredibly fantastic that this one lacked something. The writing was good it just lacked something. All of her other books in this series and the "Bound and bonded" series are awesome! I can't wait for Dean's story - I've wanted to read about him since the beginning. He is so warm and loving with a strength that i can't wait to meet him mate. Thanks Lisa for this incredible group of characters. When is the next"bound and bonded" coming out?
AWSOME as always.. I liked the relationship of Troy and Anton well enough.. What really made me like the book was the new pack mate Jax... There's going to be a good story there when his book comes around.. I liked getting a better look at Clyde as well... I hope he also gets a book.. The plot was the real winner for me.. Government and psycho shifter out to get the pack... I see many more books in this series!! Bring um on Ms.Oliver!!!
