Author: Ursa Dax
Series: Fated Mates of the Sea Sand Warlords #13
Pages: 323
Ghan Errok has wished for a mate for years. Now that his mate has been revealed he is determined to have her and bring her back to the Deep Sky Mountains. But Stephanie isn’t having it. She doesn’t appreciate his arrogance and cockiness so she pushes him away. But as time passes she realizes that there is more to Errok than the arrogant and cocky side he shows to others.
I was apprehensive about this book because I didn’t like Gahn Errok in the previous book. He was too cocky and arrogant for my liking, and sadly, my feelings didn’t change much with this book. Errok is arrogant, cocky, and extremely dramatic. He expects Stephanie to just fall at his feet and worship him since she is his mate and he doesn’t take it well when that doesn’t happen. I found him annoying and unlikable for the majority of this book. Even when he did start showing his true side, I still found him a bit too much.
Stephanie I liked for the most part. She doesn’t let Errok push her around or get his way. She makes him confront his feelings and voice them, not hide behind the perfect image of masculinity. I was expecting more of her meteorologist background to come into play, but it really felt like it was just tacked on in sections.
Overall, this was just ok for me. Since I didn’t like Errok it muffled my enjoyment of the whole book. I am interested in seeing who will fall in love next. Also I wonder what is happening with the human military.
