I haven't read the other books in the series but this did a decent job of providing enough background to follow along as far as the clan politics went. As mates, it's instalove and there's not a lot of character development, but the plot moves fast with action. It's enough to give an idea of whether or not I'd want to continue with the series. I'm a bit over the paranormal/urban fantasy these days but if I get back to it, I'll likely look this series up. 2 stars.
