review 1: I was kind of bummed out when I found out this featured two characters I don't know. Zola has been mention peripherally, but this short romance is wholly apart from the rest of the series. It's got a quick cameo from Alec, but don't expect much more than a mention of the familiar characters.I ended up enjoying it anyway. It's a second chance at love story, which often makes for the more emotionally believable novellas. It helps that speedy emotion make a little more sense.Walker was Zola's first love, when she was just a teen in her mother's lion pride. But in her descent into madness, Mommy Dearest forced Zola away and would not allow Walker to follow. Now, Zola's mother is dead and Walker needs her help to protect the rest of the pride. When he shows up, all of the e... moremotions and all of the heat comes back with him. And Zola has some difficult decisions to make about her heart and her future with the pride.I liked the story and found Zola very easy to empathize with. I liked that she was strong, both physically and emotionally and that she was an older heroine. I was kind of surprised by how almost effortlessly she got over a decade of heartbreak and betrayal, but the quick pace is doubtlessly tied to the short story length. It has that great Moira Rogers sex and holds the tone and feel of the longer stories in the series. A fun read, but not a necessary one to keep up with the series.
review 2: Every once in a while one of the freebies that I pick up serves as a helpful reminder. In the case of Zola’s Pride, it reminded me of how much I enjoyed Moira Rogers’ Southern Arcana series.The female characters in this series are strong, fiercely protective, smart and funny. The males are seriously alpha and just as protective over those they love. The mix of shifters and magic users, the world building and yes the hotness of these books makes them page turning reads. Zola and Walker’s short novella was no exception. It’s a quick read, but touching and intense. Perfect for a late night read.Another thing that reading Zola’s Pride reminded me is that I read the first book in the series before I started reviewing every book I read. I plan to remedy that. Of course, it also means that I will probably have to go back and re-read Crux and probably Crossroads while I’m at it, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. less
