Book Blurb

They know a thousand ways to kill...and zero ways to love.

Basil is the last unmated Battle Bunny, but there's a reason. The tiger stalking him is his mate, and Basil has known it for years. He also knows that Theo sold them to the pet store where their nightmare began. As strong as the mate draw is, Basil doesn't know if he can trust the handsome tiger.

 

Theodore Staffer's life has been a nightmare since the day Basil was born. He knew from the very beginning that Basil was his mate. After his father ordered the bunnies put to death, Theo took them away, unknowingly selling them to someone who would betray them all. Since then, Theo's life has been one nightmare after another as he tries to stay strong and find a way to be with his mate once more.

 

When the two men come together, they set off a series of events that leads to an epic fight that even the Battle Bunnies may not survive. Secrets will be revealed that rock the very foundation of their world. Betrayal comes from all directions, and only by staying true to themselves and the bonds they have with their mates can they hope to survive.

 

Book Review

There was one mystery that has been bugging me for a while – that of the tiger and what the heck is going on with still-mateless Basil – and that one gets nicely solved in what looks to be the final book in this series. Well, final at least as far as the Battle Bunnies brothers are concerned. There were plenty of other secrets that needed to be dealt with, like who is behind the cruel, evil scientists and can these guys ever find peace? As the story develops, a few new riddles pop up and the result was another entertaining, suspenseful adventure with a triumphal ending.
 
Basil is in a tight spot. Different from his four brothers, he has known who his mate is for many years, yet thinks they can never be together. How is he supposed to accept and love the man who sold all of them to the pet store that led to them ending up in the labs where they were tortured for many years? I can’t even imagine what Basil must have felt like and how torn he was. In the end, the mate bond proves to be too strong for Basil to resist any longer – and it’s a good thing it does. It appears there is more than one misunderstanding that needs clearing up!

Although I could not have imagined it, Theo is in an even worse spot than Basil. He knows he never intended the bunnies any harm – on the contrary, he was trying to save them – and instead he ended up in his father’s clutches, having to watch Basil and his brothers be tortured for years. But as much as Theo blames himself, he is determined to still make Basil his mate. The nightmare has lasted long enough and Theo will do anything to try to make it up to Basil.

Basil and Theo end up right in the middle of the Battle Bunnies’ final battle. And while lots of questions are answered, and all of the loose ends are cleared up, there are also a few major surprises. Some of them are fundamental to the paranormal world the authors have built in this series, and could quite easily lead to more books – at the very least they gave me something to think about.

If you like the ‘Battle Bunnies’ series and want to see all of them settle down, if you want to find out how Basil and his tiger manage to finally get together, and if you’re looking for a read that is as action-packed, suspenseful, and full of revelations as ever, then you will probably like this novella.
