***Update 07 Feb 21*** I listened to the audiobook and thought the narration was good. Although I felt the plight of the women Riley was trying to save, it seemed like it hit stronger in the audio version. Also, the intimacy between Cam and Riley seemed stronger. 4.5 stars So, we have a “kinda, sorta” cliffhanger. I don’t know if it has been a while since I read one of the Wayward Mates books, or if it really seemed as though Riley fought longer and harder against being claimed then anyone else. Cam and Riley have this intense chemistry. There is plenty of snark, anger, love, and humor. There is love and loyalty to the pack. There are a ton of pig headed, over protective dominant men. There are also submission, spanking, and detailed sexual scenes. If any of this offends you, pass on this book. As much as this book was about Cam and Riley being fated mates, it had more content about saving women taken against their will, from the rogue packs. With each book, you get more information about the Coalition’s fight. You also get more info regarding how the women of the Coalition are tough, strong, brave, smart, and independent. How they bring their many talents to their individual packs, and to the Coalition as a whole. After many starts, stops, and chases, Riley and Cameron do get their HEA. The ladies of the Coalition are moving to action. We just have to wait until the next book to see how the plan and subsequent action takes place. So, bottom line: Cam and Riley – Standalone. The Coalition’s continued activity to dismantle the rogue wolves trafficking – Continuation or Cliffhanger. Your choice.
