When the Sheriff assigns Rachel Corningstone to solve the greatest crime spree in Plymouth Falls history, she knows this is her shot. The former big-city detective will finally prove to her new peers that she’s more than just a pretty face. When a civilian consultant is forced upon her as a partner though, it might just be more than she can handle. Rachel doesn’t want a partner. Not after the … last time.
Sent to the town of Plymouth Falls, bear shifter Khove has one mission: to find the traitor to House Ursa and kill him. It’s not as easy as it sounds, and despite the gorgeous police detective’s help, the traitor is burning down more of their businesses every night. It’s a race against time, and Khove can’t afford any distractions, but how is he supposed to stop himself from claiming his mate?
Oblivious to the raging desires of her beyond-handsome partner, Rachel is hot to tackle the case at hand. What she isn’t aware of, is just how out of the normal it is, or who she’s really up against. While Khove will go to any length to protect his mate, the one thing he can’t do is let the traitor survive—even at the expense of his own happiness. Can Rachel come to grips with the rules of the shifter world, or will her sense of justice prevent her from understanding why Khove must kill?

A solitary officer destined for a partner
What a fantastic read! The author did a wonderful job of pulling us into this latest installment of the family and preparing us to anxiously await the next book. These two characters may have a rocky start, but once they get into the groove of their relationship they find a HEA that will continue for ages. I can’t wait to read the next book.
Great read and the characters are amazing. Truly an entertaining book. look forward to more books from this author.
This is Khove and Rachel’s story. And what a story it was. Boy oh boy was this a good read. Mages, fae, faeries – they all came out to play in this one. Khove is one of the House of Ursa and Rachel is a detective. They team up for the fight of their lives. Damned good read – loved it.
Korred is back and causing all kinds of trouble. Excitement, danger, and trying to find Korred and his henchmen. Kove and Rachel are a good pair of working detectives. Very good story. They keep getting better and better. I love them. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
I love this series! This is Khove’s story. He has been sent to the House Ursa to find the traitor that killed his King and has his House in turmoil. When a new string of threats and damage occur he is hot on the trail. He is expecting mages, but he isn’t prepared for the sexy, fiery police woman investigating. After she tries to arrest him, she finds out that he is going to be working with her. She is both angry, and attracted to Khove not realizing he feelings for her…she is his mate and she has no idea what that means or what his world is like. Khove will do anything to protect his house and his mate, but can Rachel forgive him for how his kind handle their problems? This is suspenseful, drama filled, steamy and sweet…..and I just loved it!
This couple was entertaining. As the last of the Ursa series I was a bit disappointed on how things were left. Nothing was wrapped up for this house. Which made me feel like I was jipped. The development of the relationship was great funny at times. The ending for them was good. What I would have liked to read was the fight scene through the other title holders view. I don’t think I’ll be continuing with the next series though.
** spoiler alert ** Rachel has always been determined to protect the people in anyway she can. Khove is determined to do whatever it takes to protect his Queen and fellow Ursa. Both are keeping secrets. Will Rachel believe him when he explains what he is? Will Khove be able to protect those he loves?
Definitely recommend reading this whole series in order so that you can understand this book. I also definitely hope we get a story with the Queen as one of the main characters! I loved the fact that Khove was determined to do whatever it took to protect those he held close. I did think at times that while it was an outside the box situation, Rachel wasn’t overly thinking like it, but I was really excited when she finally realized what they had to deal with. Great read!
arc review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Khove is part of house ursa quenn guards and bear shifter . When koored the trailer starts attacking and using humans he goes to detective Rachel corningstone of the PFPD for help. Awesome story
I absolutely love this series. Korred is back to try to finish what he started and it is rolling over into the human world. Khove must work with the human police to try to stop the devastation. Rachel is the human cop he is supposed to work with. She has a bit of a chip on her shoulder, being a woman in a male oriented position, and Khove gets the full brunt of it. Khove on the other hand is so easy going and he lets her ire mostly just wash over him. Every time we turn around she finds him at a crime scene and threatens to arrest him. I love how he got himself out of the back of her patrol car to help. The only way they are going to have a chance is if she understands what they are up against. No matter the seriousness of their situation, Khove had me laughing my tail off most of the book. There is never a dull or boring moment in this book. You will not be sorry to read this book, even without reading the others first. Of course, it is always better when you have the backstory, but it’s easy to figure out and continue on. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
