Varek has been waiting patiently for his mate, it has been ten years since he rescued Pax but he has respected Pax's wishes and kept his distance. Now as danger surrounds them and the rifts become less of a mystery, they are working together and Pax can see that perhaps going home isn't the most important thing if he had to leave Varek behind.
From the blurb:
Yeah. That wasn’t on my Terrafeara survival bingo card.
I’ve survived this world by making myself untouchable—sharp edges, sharper instincts,
and zero room for mistakes. Down here, power is everything. And I’ve built enough of it
to stay alive.
Then Varek shows up.
Commander of the Riftborn. Rebel leader. Walking, talking weapon with horns, silver
eyes… and a bond to me I never asked for.
He says he saved me.
I say he destroyed everything.
Because Varek didn’t just claim me as his fated mate—he killed my husband to do it.
Now we’re stuck in the same city, the same war, and the same impossible pull that
won’t let either of us walk away. The rifts are getting worse. The rebellion is fracturing.
And something bigger is coming—something that could tear every world apart.
We should be enemies.
We might be each other’s only chance.
Because in a world built on power, blood, and broken promises… love might be the most
dangerous weapon of all.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Monsters & Mates), best if read in order. Paranormal/sci-fi. Fated mates. Second chance. Hurt/comfort. Found family. Slow burn. Mostly single POV/Some dual POV.
After ten years apart Varek is back in Pax’s life, the missing mate that had killed Pax’s husband right after Pax had been stranded in a brutal foreign world. Now Varek is the leader of a rebellion and Pax has been surviving helping people escape to the rebels but still keeping his distance from Varek, which doesn’t seem as important as it did before.
Can patience and self-sacrifice be any more swoony than the way Varek treats Pax? Every moment Pax and Varek are on page together there is so much tension, as Varek respects Pax’s choices and allows Pax to come to him when he is ready, regardless of the bond between them. I really enjoyed this story, the building of something between Pax and Varek, the secondary characters that are important pieces in the overall plotline, and how emotionally important Pax and Varek become to each other. There is danger, steam, friendships, humor, and love and I am seriously invested in this world and the fated mates as they strive for their HEA’s.
