by T. D. Edwards
Heath is a man defined by isolation, a snake shifter who hides his lethal power and scarred heart in the shadows. Haunted by the abandonment of the brothers he once trusted, he has resigned himself to a life of solitude, convinced that no woman could ever embrace the darkness he carries. He is a predator masking his true nature, waiting for a destiny he has long since stopped believing in.
Juliana is a human survivor, a woman forged by the chaos of her own difficult family and the literal demons that walk among them. Bound by duty to her brother, she is thrust into Heath’s world during a moment of crisis. When their paths collide, she finds in him a strange, magnetic sanctuary. Despite the rumors surrounding his dangerous reputation, she is drawn to the quiet intensity of the man beneath the beast.
Blending intense paranormal romance with the classic tropes of fated mates and a grumpy, misunderstood hero, this story delivers the emotional depth fans of the series crave. As a looming threat emerges to tear them apart, Heath must decide if he is brave enough to accept the love he never thought possible. Prepare to be consumed by this addictive tale of protection, survival, and the transformative power of a bond meant to be.

I’ve been following along with this series since the first book came out. It’s my favorite series and this book Did. Not. Disappoint. I am absolutely obsessed with Heath. I’ve loved him since he was first introduced. Juliana is perfect and I love how quickly she accepted all of Heath. She never felt fear and she didn’t let him pull away from her. I love the found family in this series and I’m so happy Heath finally opened up to his brothers. The way the family supported and surrounded him and...

I knew Heaths story would be a good one. I loved getting to see how his personality would finally come through with the rest of the crew. I love Jules for him as well. Good overall story. Now, I cannot wait for Sally!!! Side note: while I give these books a 5 star, I want people to know it is because I enjoy the family dynamics and the overall couples and not that I think it is this impeccable piece of writing. )

Heath and Jules are so perfect for each other. Broody vs yearning for love. We finally learn what Heath’s animal is after all this time! The chemistry is so intense. Both of them have pasts they need to work through, but in the end, family and love prevail despite their chagrin! I laugh, cried, I needed a fan. Enjoy Heaths HEA! )

I’ve been waiting for Heath’s story and it was definitely worth it. This book has banter with the family and kept me laughing. As with the previous books in the series, it is spicy. It’s made me somewhat of a snake admirer now. Okay maybe not but give dark hair, bright blue eyes and tattoos I could get over my fears. )
