Only his mate-bond with Hope will get him out of this torment. Warrick has been imprisoned for forty years, tortured, not allowed to let his wolf out. He’s been left to rot while his twin runs with his pack. The only thing that gets him through his imprisonment is the knowledge that Hope, his mate, is safe. Hope thought he’d betrayed her and their pack and she had lived in hiding ever since. So, … hiding ever since. So, she’s surprised to find him broken, beaten, and barely alive when she and Damien attempt to reclaim their pack. Warrick didn’t betray her.
Renewed life floods through her mate bond, but with it, grief and guilt. If only she’d been more in tune with her bond. If only she had believed in her mate. She might have been able to find him sooner.
That has to wait, though. Gabriel, the man who took him and broke the man she loved, is still out there. And he wants to bring them both down. For good this time.

He dreamed of Hope over the years but is awkward around her. His brother is not done with him. Can Warrick protect Hope? His pack? Will his brother ever stop? Can he feel worthy enough to be Hope’s proper mate? I am leaving this review for having received the ARC but I do so gladly because this story is a great read. The characters are well written and you feel the sadness of what has been lost. You also feel the hope that things will be turned around. The story is about loss but also hope for the future. Love is enough to hold on to and to fight for. Leilani Love writes her stories to draw you into their world and makes you forget about the time. This book is another great story in the series that can be read alone but is better with all the others in the series. You will not want to put it down until it is finished. You will not be disappointed with this book or series. I highly recommend this book and series by Leilani Love.

Warrick has been held captive and tortured constantly by his evil twin brother for 40 years, not even allowed to shift into his wolf. He has held out so long to protect his mate, Hope. His sadistic twin brother was responsible for killing their parents and Hope’s parents, then taking over Warrick’s pack.
Thinking Warrick had betrayed her and the pack, Hope hid herself. But when she finds Warrick imprisoned, broken, beaten, and barely alive, she knows she had made a mistake in judging him as she had. Both of them feel they have failed in some way. She is filled with guilt for not trusting him and not finding him sooner, and she and Warrick will have to heal and adjust to each other after all that time apart.

Protecting the one you love. Fighting for the good of all. Battling feelings that aren’t wanted. All that and more can be found between the pages of this superb book. The originality of the storyline begins at page 1 and then leads to reader to a HEA. Wonderful characters and a great backdrop for a brilliant foundation for this easy to read, hard to put down novel.

This is book five in the Dragon Ruby Series and as the earlier books, it is quite an entertaining read. At the end of book four, Warwick was found after being held and tortured by his evil twin. This book describes his re-introduction and assimilation back into the pack. Strong and engaging story with strong and memorable characters. Good read!

Warrick’s Hope is book Four in “The Dragon Ruby” Series. This is the story of Warrick and Hope. These are wonderful characters that were torn apart by a deceptive and evil brother. The book is well written and depicts both of their sides of the story. The author also shows us a love that knows no bounds and how a person can heal with the love and support of family and friends. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

This book was absolutely lovely. It was a wonderful journey from the first page. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
This is the first book from Leilani Love that I have read and I must say that I was impressed with the way that she pulls you into the story with all the intriguing twists and turns, betrayals and the sacrifices that Warrick makes for Hope.
Hope was just a little girl when she and Warrick imprinted on one another. Warrick’s twin brother Gabriel has kept him locked up for years just so that he could try and take over as the Alpha of their pack. Gabriel has used black magic to keep Warrick locked up and to have Hope think that he betrayed her and her family. Warrick is rescued by Hope’s brother Damien and a few other men. It has taken a few months for Warrick to heal enough to be able to go to the home he and Hope are to live in. He has his reservations about being in the same home as Hope because of what his brother said he would do to her if they ever mated. Warrick knows he is out there just waiting to strike. Every time Warrick feels his brother there is no sign of him. Hope is taken by someone who she thinks is a friend but they are working with Gabriel just to use Hope as bait to get Warrick to come to them.
Can Warrick end the torture that his brother is putting him through and also keep Hope safe?
Will Hope ever convince Warrick that he is not to blame for what happened to them years before but his brother and will they be able to have the life they were meant to have?

An absorbing read that hooked me from the first page! This is Warrick and Hope’s story. Warrick is now free of his evil brother, but is having a hard time believing that he deserves Hope as his mate. Will they complete their mating bond? Read and find out for yourself. The plot is gripping and well structured, the characters are well developed and the storyline grabbed my attention from the first few pages. It’s a definite must read!

A wonderful second chance shifter romance. Answers some questions in the continuing
storyline while adding some new ones. Love, steamy romance, redemption, wrongs righted,
mystery, adventure, and danger.
