In her world Cricket is considered a runt, lower than the lowest of the packs, even though she is a member of the elite special ops branch of the Lycan Intelligence Agency (L.I.A.) called Team Greywolf. But lately her job is babysitting Prince Slade who is suffering a particular psychosis called "morphogenesis" after the death of his entire pack.
With no reason to return to his home, Slade accepts the offer of joining the agency and the two of them are sent on an investigation. Cricket is with him mostly because he insists he needs her calming influence. As he heals he finds she is his only comfort, but of course she is the only person he can never have. The laws of their kind forbid the mating of a runt at all and most certainly not to a prince.
SLADE will have you holding your breath wondering how it will be possible to have a HEA for this couple. Both Cricket and Slade are likable, perfect for each other, and the whole situation is highly entertaining. I can't say I care much for this world's stupid rules but...author Eva Gordon does a good job of giving her readers everything they can possibly want.
SLADE is book 1 of Ms. Gordon's offshoot of her Alpha Wolf's Pet, taking us back to that world with the emphasis on the L.I.A.. One of the best parts of this is we get to see what has been happening to Dominic and Mia from Alpha Wolf's Pet, as well as other characters who return in this new offering. SLADE, as her others have done, offers sweet and steamy romance, action of all kinds, good guys, bad guys and some you just aren't sure where they stand but each fits perfectly into this world. I can't wait to get my hands on book two!
Runt, Cricket, is an honorary beta of Team Greywolf, an elite special ops branch of the Lycan Intelligence Agency. As a member, she poses as a human and collects forensic evidence. Because of her low rank, she is assigned in the rehabilitation of Prince Slade suffering from morphogenesis after his entire pack is murdered, and then his indoctrination as a member of their team. Babysit a psycho, domineering alpha? Not on her watch. To complicate matters, she lusts for Slade. Foolish. A runt can never take an alpha as a mate. Slade has two choices. Honor his murdered kin and serve Team Greywolf, or once healed, obey King Conan and return to his territory with an alpha mate. Complicating his decision is his relentless desire for the hot sexy little she-wolf, Cricket. Early into his recovery, Slade and Cricket are sent to investigate missing werewolves. An unstable werewolf seems hardly a match for a former Nazi werewolf bent on bringing on Ragnarok, the destruction of mankind. Can they stop this evil regime, while conforming to pack law that forbids any chance of them fulfilling their desire for each other?
