Book Blurb

Will Morrison is almost ready to give birth. He is happily in love with his mate, the alpha Lion Leon Black. Former high school sweethearts, turned enemies, turned lovers and mates, Will is eager to begin his happily ever after. When his abusive father dies, and Will feels forced to go pay respects to the man who nearly killed him, the stress is nearly too much.

 

Leon wants to protect his mate. The problem is the physical danger has passed. There is no bad guy he can use his alpha strength on to beat up and get revenge for the way Will was treated. The man who hurt him is dead, but Leon can see Will's family still hurting him by pretending it never happened. This makes the lion inside him angry. When one human says the wrong thing, Leon might have trouble keeping his hands to himself. This throws Will into premature labor, and then it's time to panic.

 

Book Review

Now that Will and Leon have overcome the issues of their past and Will is pregnant, I was sure this third part of their story would be less stressful and even more entertaining. Well, it was and it wasn’t. The fact that Will and Leon truly love each other and want to protect their growing family from any outside threats made them allies, and I loved that. Will’s pregnancy and how he dealt with it was as fun as I had expected. Of course there were still issues to deal with, and that is where the stress definitely came in. I could have strangled Will’s mother and her stupid friends several times over. So while there wasn’t any threat to Will and Leon’s relationship, there were enough problems for them to deal with to keep up the suspense. I do suggest you read the first two books of the series before this one (or the review), because you’ll miss essential details without that background.

Will is finally happy. He is in love with his lion shifter mate, their past of mutual misunderstandings has been dealt with, and the baby Will is carrying becomes more real every day. But when his mother calls to let him know his father has died and that she expects him to come to the funeral, Will can feel his world collapse around him. Will is too nice to just say no, he keeps thinking that she is still his mother, and no matter how horrible she has been in the past, Will can’t just push her away.

Leon is helpless against this sort of emotional attack on his mate, and his lion has a very hard time dealing with it. He growls and paces and worries – but his unwavering support of Will is admirable. Leon is ready to kill the woman who stood by while Will was beaten by his drunk father as a child, but he also knows this is Will’s battle to fight. When he finally snaps and gets physical during an altercation at the mall, Will goes into early labor from the stress, but Leon can’t regret roughing up the man who verbally attacked Will.

If you like shifter billionaires who have to learn to support their mate’s decisions rather than making them for him, if you want to know how Will and Leon are doing once they have the baby, and if you’re looking for a read that is entertaining with a touch of tension as well as very hot, then you might like this novella.
