Book Blurb

Turbulent times are in store for the Royal Family on Moravia. The wedding of Prince Vannos to Moravian King Stephan is imminent but with all the power struggles and palace intrigue taking place, will the wedding be able to proceed as planned?

High King Davos, Prince Mikos and Commander Tallon have arrived for the celebrations but also to reclaim their Mates. And even though the Commander is still fighting his overwhelming attraction to Redmond, Vannos’s aide, he has a devious and intricate plot to resolve all their situations once and for all.

But how will Ryan react to Prince Mikos’s dictate of having another baby to calm him down and keeping him away from causing problems? And how will the gorgeous Blake react to King Davos laying down the law over his disobedience in sneaking off to Moravia on his own? Mating with a Tyger Prince is always a challenge, especially when that Tyger is a gorgeous, powerful Royal, who is determined to have his own way. Can Ryan, Blake and Redmond not only outlast but also outwit their Mates to find happiness or will the challenge prove too great?

 

A shocking wedding rehearsal and a tense showdown during the wedding reception has not only serious, but potentially life-threatening consequences for some. And as if that’s not enough, Blake is having flashbacks and remembering the time he first met Davos and how their tumultuous relationship first began. It’s going to take all the humans’ ingenuity, courage and determination to come out on top but also to remind their Mates why they fell in love with them in the first place.

 

Book Review

The description for this fifth installment in the ‘Mate of the Tyger Prince’ series had me very excited to return to this world I have fallen in love with. I really wanted to get more backstory on King Davos and his mate, Blake, plus watching Prince Mikos and his mate, Ryan, argue is a definite wild ride. And getting a front row seat at King Stefan’s assistant, Commander Tallon and Mikos’s aide, Redmond’s, love story, promised to be a sight worth seeing. I am not going to reiterate the worldbuilding in this review as I did that for the first three books, and since I firmly believe they should be read in order, I’m going to guess that anyone reading my review already knows. *grins*

To recap, very quickly, King Davos, Blake, Prince Mikos, Ryan, and Redmond, are all on Moravia to attend the royal wedding of King Stefan to King Davos and Blake’s son, Vannos. However, Davos is furious with Blake for having completely disregarded Davos’s wishes about not becoming involved with Stefan and Vannos on Moravia. Of course this was before they found out Vannos and Stefan had fallen in love and Vannos is carrying the king’s child. By then, however, the damage was done, as Blake and Ryan had left Tygeria to go to a “spa”, but instead they snuck onto Moravia with the goal of rescuing Vannos. Davos and Blake have always had a tumultuous love affair, but this time Davos seems to really mean it, and Blake is worried.

“I do,” he said firmly, nodding his head. “And now that the war’s over, it would be a perfect time for you to get pregnant.”
Mikos’s eyebrows came together. “What?”
“For you to get pregnant. Isn’t that what you said? That you wanted another baby?”
“I wasn’t talking about me!”
“But surely that would be the fairest thing. I had the last baby, so now it’s your turn. After all, you’re so much younger than I am, like you’re so fond of telling me, and this is Tygerian technology after all. Probably much safer for you than for me in the long run.”
To say I laughed long and loud when Ryan and Mikos had this conversation is a severe understatement!

Three sets of incredibly stubborn, hardheaded, and passionate men make for an exciting read.  If this entire story had only been about the relationship conflicts, it would have been good, but the author chose a different route that helped to make it far more interesting and thrilling. I really liked that each of the couples got resolution to the problems within their relationships, and the ending was extremely exhilarative.
