The Second and His Bonded

Kincaid Pack, Book 2

By: Kiki Clark

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

As the son of an enemy, Kieran never expected to find a family with the Kincaid Pack...or a true mate's bond.

After barely escaping his abusive family, wolf shifter Kieran McAllister struggles to find his place in the Kincaid Pack. Especially with the pushy but gorgeous second-in-command showing up every time Kieran turns around...and making him want things he shouldn't.

The traumatized wolf who continuously refuses Bennett Young's help has begun to haunt his dreams. But if there's one thing he knows, it's that tiger shifters don't have mates. So why can't Bennett get Kieran's sad eyes out of his head?

Despite their differences, Kieran and Bennet find something they never expected in each other. Just as their bond begins to grow though, Kieran's past threatens to destroy the very pack they both have been fighting to protect.

Contains mature themes.

Good story. Good narration.

The story continues the Kincaid pack series with Bennett, the enforcer, and Kieran, the son of the McAllister pack alpha, as the main characters. The story felt a little slower in the beginning but picked up the pace with plenty of action. Bennett and Kieran have a very different dynamic from the one shared by Rick and Kai in the first book.

The romance was engaging, and the coflicts kept the tension in the story high. I did notice a few flaws in logic from the characters and from the direction of certain plot points. This is what I get for taking logic and reasoning classes, an inability to ignore logic flaws in urban fantasy novels...

Once again, the narration by Kirt Graves was performed well, and I have started on the next book already.

Steamy, Thrilling and Suspenseful with Addictive Characters

I love this series! I have read and listened to them over and over. It is very entertaining. While concentrating on the development of one couple's relationship per book, the story itself unfolds over all of the books. It is suspenseful, thrilling, and very addictive.

Very cute

I’m so glad they got their happy ending and I see that there’s multiple stories going on in the background of each book. Love this so much.

Loved it!

After book 1, I was a little disappointed that this book was about Bennett, because I didn't feel a big connection to him and wanted to hear about other people first; HOWEVER, after reading this, I absolutely love Bennett (and Kieran!) Their story happened when it needed to. Their relationship is so very sweet, especially given Kieran's history, Bennett is the perfect mate for Kieran. They treat each other so well, once they stop being stupid boys and avoiding each other. :D I also love that Kieran finally has a giant found family and pack. He deserves it after all he's been through.

I also love how all the past and future characters of books are included, with enough information to keep you invested in their individual stories, without it feeling forced.

Kirt Graves does a phenomenal job as always! On to book 3!

I was so ready for more Bennet

The Second and His Bonded is the 2nd book in Kiki Clark’s Kincaid Pack series. While each book features a different couple and it’s own storyline – there are several story arcs running through the series as a whole, so you’ll want to start with The Alpha and His King and listen to them in order.

I admit – I was kind of in love with Bennet by the end of book 1 and was really looking forward to his story. He was so amazing with Kai that I knew he’d be awesome with whomever Clark paired him with. I wasn’t wrong. Kieran and Kai are a lot alike and I do wish there had been a bit more to differentiate the romantic/relational aspect of this story – but I still enjoyed it. Partially because of Bennet’s endearing personality and the interwoven mystery/suspense of the series. Kieran is understandably prickly and watching him bloom as a person and with Bennet was so much fun.

While The Deputy and His Enforcer is already out in ebook – I’ll be waiting for the audio due sometime this Summer. Because…

Narration:
Kirt Graves is wonderful in this. I like that the various character voices are consistent from book to book. It makes it easy to listen to them back to back (yup, I relistened to The Alpha and His King again). I’m definitely looking forward to more of this series and of Graves in particular.
