Maximus
The first time I went looking for Kym, it was because he was a relative of a murder victim I was investigating. Every time after that? It was because I realized he was my mate.
For the first time in my long existence, I’d found something more important than my work. But with evil brewing in the shadows, my realm and my king needed me more than ever.
Could I really make a choice between my family and my mate?
Kym
I knew my uncle’s death was a murder, but no one believed me except my best friend. That is, until I met Maximus.
After spotting the huge, intimidating man lurking around my shop, I’d had no option but to face him. He didn’t scare me, but what he told me turned my life upside down.
Could I really make a choice between the only home I’d ever known, and the man who promised me the world?

REVIEW:
Kym has questions, about the death of his uncle. The authorities didn’t say it was murder, but Kym knows better, even if he can’t prove it. Why is that big burly looking stranger stalking him on the other side of the street?
Maximus is a soul collector, he’s head of the Anubis Squad, collects the souls of the worst of humankind, chases dark souls to throw them in the Burning Chasm.
Watching the guy on the other side of the street, to make sure he’s okay after his uncle died is a shock. He can’t believe it, there at the tattoo shop is his mate. He just wanted to check on him. Now he found his mate, and maybe the guy is already in danger. Kym’s uncle was a rare Kitsune and murdered!
Kym expected something as instant love when Maximus told him they were mates. Kym didn’t feel anything, yah the man was gorgeous, but love? Little does he know.
Maximus doesn’t know if Kym has magic, if he has any he’s certainly in danger, so far there are no signs of magic.
We can follow Max and Kym getting closer, where Max his home in the Otherworld, is now also Kym’s home.
We meet all the awesome creatures and characters from the series Fate’s Gambit! There is so much fun to find! Be aware, there’s also some excitement with evil.
There’s an enemy pack who took children and they are in danger, Maximus must find a way to save them. Who is the big evil brain behind it, and why do they need the children!!
There’s an endearing snarky banter between the characters, it was great.
Well-dosed we get new information, all good to digest, even if you didn’t read Fate’s Gambit.
The author created a beautiful magical world, I loved every aspect, it was full of humor, flirting, sexy time, positivity and of course, there have to be some bad creatures. The story has a comfortable flow, easy to read, clearly outlined, and captivatingly written. The magic, dang the magic was something else, you could only dream of that kind of magic, my inner child was thrilled reading about it, it made me so happy!
The journey is not over, I’m looking forward to Zane’s story!
