Calli Keyla’s scream sends shards of ice through my guts. I chase Kotah out the back door and am right on his heels as he bounds down the stairs of the back deck. The sounds of fists to flesh hang in the still night air. The shadows are writhing with men throwing punches near the gazebo. Someone is dragging Keyla across the lawn toward the gate. Doc, Keyla’s two guards, and the Prima’s palace guards are there but overwhelmed by attackers. Kotah’s growl is more menacing than I’ve ever heard it. The fury of being attacked in our place of privacy burns in my blood too. My phoenix ignites within. My skin starts to glow gold as— A blue bolt of icy energy hits me in the shoulder and knocks me spinning into the pool. I hit the water with a backward momentum that swamps me in seconds. Salt burns my nostrils and my throat as I kick back to the surface. So. Rude. “I’m fine,” I sputter, sensing more than seeing Kotah’s conflict of saving me or his sister. The water steams around my face as I flame out. “Help Keyla.” I told Jaxx this afternoon that I wanted to take a swim tonight. This isn’t what I had in mind. A quick breaststroke takes me to the ladder, and I haul myself out. My clothes hang heavy and feel gross, but there’s no time to worry about that. My soggy socks are barely on the marble slab of the pool deck when I’ve got incoming. What the hell. Give a girl a second to catch her breath. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With each book we get to know the characters on a deeper level and they just burrow further into my heart. I adore them and I’m going to be sad when I’ve finished the series. The mystery of who the bad guy is is kind of infuriating, I’ve blamed about four people now and I have one that will really hurt if I’m right. Here’s hoping I’m wrong. Onto book four! - Amazon Reviewer Continue reading Bear's Strength if you like: Poly Romance w/ MM Gritty Action Fated Mates Shifters Fierce Protectors Strong Female Heroines
