The spotlight is shone on the bears in this latest
installment in the, Takhiini Wolves series. When grizzly
bear, Tyler Harrison finds Caroline Bradley passed out, he
tries to help her. Though clearly the damsel in distress in
this situation, Caroline is far from being a little lady
who needs help. She is just having a bad week. Her wolf
lover has found his mate, leaving her alone in a territory
that is filled with aggressive bear shifters. If you throw
in pack politics and a steamy romance, you have one hell of
a book in DIAMOND DUST.
One of the signature styles Arend has incorporated into her
novels is the humor and banter between her characters. This
for me is one of the major reasons why I keep coming back
to her books. I think it creates such a familial sense
between the characters and as the series progresses, it
makes me want to continue and see what she has planned next
for other characters in the series.
I had one issue in the beginning of this book and I noticed
that Arend's latest works have been taking on the same
formula. I feel like there is a bit of instalove when it
comes to the romances. Right from the beginning, Tyler and
Caroline have an instant connection and they have hardly
spoken much to each other at all. As this is a paranormal
romance and finding your mate is a large aspect of the
book, I could accept this more in this sub-genre. However,
I am hoping that this doesn't continue to be in all of the
next books because it feels like a short cut.
Despite that, Arend pens a fun and sexy romance for Tyler
and Caroline. I enjoyed seeing the bear shifters for a
change. DIAMOND DUST weaves together laughter and the
pursuit for love in an enticing mix!
Caroline Bradley is having one hell of a week. Her wolf
lover has sniffed out his mate, making her an instant free
agent. Not only that, Takhini territory has been overrun
with aggressive bear-shifters electing a clan leader, and
the wolf pack is feeling the effects—pushing her diplomatic
skills to the limit.
Tyler Harrison is a grizzly on a mission. If he’s going to
win the majority of the bears’ votes, he needs one final
thing: a female companion. The only woman in town with
influence over wolves, humans, and more bears than he’d like
to admit, is Caroline.
Despite the sexual pull between them, though, Tyler’s not
seeking a permanent relationship. And Caroline isn’t looking
to be anyone else’s political pawn. But she should have
remembered that when shifters are involved, changes happen
in the blink of an eye.
Warning: Billionaire bear hero plus kick-ass human heroine
equals a sexually volatile power struggle. Get ready for
what might be the naughtiest game of tag that’s ever been
played in the great outdoors.
