I wasn't expecting anything from this since the characters were unfamiliar to me. Ms Leigh introduced a new set of breeds (Coyote) and I was thrown off balance since the one before this clearly hinted at Dawn and Seth's upcoming story - which would come 6 stories after I think (correct me if I'm wrong).

The introduction was a little slow and it could've been a robot's voice overhead but everything was suddenly alive when Amanda entered the picture. She's full of life, and Ms Leigh really painted a picture of the schoolteacher who loves kids, and she's also the newly-elected President's daughter.

Kiowa was backup security and was quickly shoved to the primary security role after Amanda was attacked. The attraction was instant at least on Kiowa's part since he's been watching her for weeks. It's amusing how he doesn't know what's happening to him - that the hormones from his tongue were caused by having found his mate, and an aphrodisiac too - and more amusing when he learned about it through a non-Breed.

I loved the story, this one's a little different because Kiowa and Amanda didn't know each other at all and she's as real as any of us, questioning the basic foundation of a good relationship (which is not solely based on sexual attraction). Things happened to fast and before anyone could know it, they're mated for life.

My heart went out to Kiowa whenever he remembers the harshness of his grandfather, and longing for the mother he's never known. It brought tears to my eyes when Cassie told him about his mother's ghost always with him, and it answered the question about Cassie's fairy, that she's psychic and could talk to ghosts.

Now, the sex scenes couldn't get any better, I loved the kinkiness and how Kiowa was the answer to Amanda's every sexual fantasy, they hit it off well. Beneath all that lust are emotions and little by little they fell in love - or Amanda reciprocated because Kiowa claims he loved her before he met her.

This one's a good read and I'm on to the next.
