This story takes place within the Kincaid Pack universe but you don’t need to have read that series to read this book.
Quinten Amato is a ruthless businessman who takes care of his people. When he finds a chained and injured jaguar shifter in one of his warehouses he vows to find the one responsible and destroy them. Caden may be young and traumatized but he and his jaguar know that Quinten is his and refuse to be pushed away.
After meeting Quinten in the previous book I was interested in knowing more about him but I never expected to get that chance and well, we did. Quinten is a dominant and protective man who takes care of those who are his. He is a total alpha and the shifters under his care even treat him as such, even though he denies his position. I found his pack to be very interesting since it was a human alpha and it also had vampires and witches in his group. I kind of wish we had seen more of the pack in general.
Caden was a sweet jaguar shifter who experienced hell. I really loved Caden and how sweet yet strong he was. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for himself or to tell Quinten when he was being a coward. He forced Quinten to face his feelings and wouldn’t let him hide and I really liked him for that. While I did overall enjoy Quinten and Caden’s relationship, I do think Quinten holding back for so long put a damper on the romance for me. We really needed more scenes with these two getting to know each other and not just having sex, fighting, or fighting off bad guys. But, I still enjoyed their relationship and found it sweet and steamy.
Overall, this was an enjoyable addition to the Kincaid Pack world and a great couple. I can’t wait to read the Silver Oak Pack series and get more stories in this world because it has been a fascinating world and I want to continue to see what is happening, and potentially check in with this couple again.
