review 1: After leaving American, after Breed and of the Order Conlan MacConn’s death, Danika, widowed, raising her infant son, goes to Scotland for the holidays… and she runs into Malcolm MacBain aka Brannoc aka Bran at a party… where he is chauffer/body guard to Riever – Breed bully, who traffics in humans for bloodsport… Malcolm is there undercover, as Reiver is to blame for his pregnant mate’s death – she was shopping, and taken off the street by Reiver’s men, looking for humans for the bloodsport… and she was killed before Malcolm could rescue her.And because Danika did not back down when Reiver tried to intimidate her at the party… because she overheard him discussing the delivery of human cargo… he sends out a hit squad – and though she tries to vali... moreantly to fight them, she is losing… until Malcolm shows up (coming as soon as he heard they were sent)… and he kills them puts her house on fire… and takes her to his castle (where his best friend Conlan proposed to her 800 years earlier)… where he and his lifemate were preparing for a baby… and the two of them rediscover one another, and find a passion that was hinted at when they were younger (she went for steady Conlan)… and they take down Riever… and matebond.
review 2: Zum Inhalt: Danika reist mit ihrem Sohn Connor für ein paar Tage zu der Familie ihres verstorbenen Gefährten Conlan nach Schottland, wo sie durch Zufall die bösen Pläne eines Gangsterbosses mitbekommt und beschließt, was dagegen zu unternehmen. Was sie nicht ahnt, dass es gefährlicher wird als geplant und dass sie jemanden aus der Vergangenheit wiedersieht, der ihr Herz wieder zum Schlagen bringt.Anhang: Anschließend befindet sich noch zu jedem der Hauptpersonen der ersten elf Bände und zu ihrer Geschichte und ihr Leben eine kleine Übersicht in dem Buch.Meine Meinung: Da es nur eine Kurzgeschichte war, ging die Handlung sehr schnell voran und ein wenig Tiefe verloren, was ich ein wenig schade finde. Aber es war trotzdem interessant zu erfahren, dass es für Danika auch ein Leben vor dem Orden und mit Conlan zusammen gab und man erfuhr etwas aus ihrer Vergangenheit. Man konnte sich dennoch gut in Danika und auch in Malcom hineinversetzen, die beide ein ähnliches Schicksal durchmachen mussten. Sie haben beide aber unterschiedliche Wege gewählt damit umzugehen. Was ich aber ein wenig schade finde ist, dass im Anhang bereits Informationen zu den nächsten beiden Bänden der Reihe gibt und man somit gespoilert wird, was ich irgendwie ein wenig blöd finde.Gesamtfazit: Eine nette kleine Kurzgeschichte. less

Intriguing, engaging and involving, this small novella in the series captures your attention within seconds and you instantly want to know what is going on.Set in Scotland, you follow Danika and a mysterious henchman... A few chapters on and you want to know more about this guy who Danika knows. So many questions appear as you read on, who is he? How does Danika know him? What's his agenda?Action soon develops and you plunge into a whole different world...But what does this novella add? It introduces us to a new character who joins the enforcement agency... However we hardly hear from the enforcement agency... If he was to become a part of The Order, then fair enough, but he isn't... Maybe he will be another trusted contact The Order will have in the Enforcement Agency... If this seems to be the case then I want to see him popping up in the following books, otherwise there would be no point to this novella at all.

Short. Too short. I guess the difficulty of writing a novella is that there is little character development. I've read from many authors that shorts stories are sometimes the hardest because the reader doesn't have the time to connect with any particular character. I found that to be fairly true in this case. While it was a solid novella, and I'm happy that Danika found someone to be in her life again, it all just felt so rushed and really didn't give me time to invest myself into either character or the plot.

Second chances can be wonderful. Love the big, bad, protector who saves his girl
