BLURB:
Asmund knows he’s put off marriage too long. With his two closest friends happily mated to members of the wolf pack, he allows himself to be talked into hosting a ball to find himself a wife. He’s spent too many years waiting for the perfect person to simply fall into his lap.
But just days before the ball, a wolf shifter with a hint of ancient fae blood messes up all his plans. Vadik says the king is his mate, and Asmund knows that shifters are never wrong. But Asmund needs heirs, which the Beta wolf can’t give him, so he knows he must stay strong and convince Vadik to walk away, despite their attraction. The hardest part proves to be convincing himself that this man, who seems to fulfill every fantasy he’s ever had, isn’t right for him.
REVIEW:
I knew, I knew, I knew this was going to be an explosive book and I was right. The chemistry between Vadik and Asmund was indescribable. And especially with Asmund being a king, I knew he was going to fight with all his might, the connection they felt. And Vadik was going to give him a run for his money.
And boy did he. The moment Vadik got a whiff of Asmund’s scent he knew. And when he touched hands with him, he was 100% positive this king was his mate and he was going to do all he could to make Asmund see. But Asmund is caught up in his duty and doing all he can to deny the pull he feels. And even when giving in to the pull, he conflicts himself and Vadik. By throwing the ball and more. But even worse, Asmund can’t get past that he’s supposed to have an heir and he knows he has to deny his heart and his mate to have what his duty says he needs. But Vadik is persistent and even the people at the ball are starting to wonder why they are there when it’s clear who belongs to who. But will Asmund finally listen to Vadik and follow his heart or do what his duty says he’s supposed to do?
I feel for Asmund. It’s like with any royalty, they have a duty to uphold and when it’s not done, then it seems like everyone wants to poke a hole somewhere, thinking it’s a weakness. But what they don’t get, is marrying for duty and not love can often lead to disaster. As seen by everyday real life royals. It’s a disaster a lot. But what I love, is no matter what, Vadik knows his heart and knows what’s right. And he’s determined to make sure Asmund gets it. He is patient, even when he doesn’t want to be. He remains a gentleman, even when his wolf demands he punch a few. He proves himself worthy and worthy, time and time again. And that actually made me a bit sad for a bit. That Asmund wasn’t really taking everything into consideration. But it’s hard and I get it. But these two, no matter, if they could have children or not, are just perfect for each other and it may take a few kicks in the pants, or trickery from some others, but Asmund is finally starting to get a clue.
These guys are just special and I love them. Doesn’t hurt that Vadik seems to push every button on everyone’s lists. He’s a hottie. But he’s got the heart of gold underneath that makes it even better.
