He was raised to hate the lion pride. She was raised to hate the hawk flock. When the mate bond unites them, their families threaten to tear everything apart.

FBI agent Ramon Miguel is fiercely protective of his extended family. A hawk shifter, and eldest son of the flock's leader, it's not just his nature but his duty. When he discovers a young cousin has gatecrashed a party at the lions den, he can only hope to get him out before blood is spilled. The very last thing he expects to find when he enters the fray is his beautiful fated mate.

Lion shifter Seraphina Brown is fed up with her lazy brother causing trouble. When a few young hawks gatecrash her sister's birthday, she's intent on throwing them out before her brother discovers what they are. But when an FBI agent shows up to defuse the situation and arrests him, she has bigger problems. How is she supposed to explain to her family that her fated mate is a hawk?

Torn between family feud and their one chance at love, she faces even more danger when her belligerent brother takes it upon himself to remove the handsome hawk once and for all. With her life on the line, Seraphina must choose between family pride and a love that fate ordained.

Can love triumph over prejudice or will this romance break more than hearts?

Am I the only one?

Is it my age? Am I the only one who finds zero romance with couples who have sex the day they meet? Even with the fated mates premise, you’d think these two shifters would want to get to know each other before jumping in the sack.

Sex isn’t the only fast thing here. The author throws down big events like she’s talking about the weather. One second he’s responding to a school shooting and the next it’s “well done, now go see to your mate” and never does the subject come up again. This installment took a stab at a Romeo and Juliet storyline, but there was never any true suspense. These all feel like empty calories.
