Savage Bonds

by J. Bree

Book 2 in The Bonds that Tie

The bond dynamics deepen as Oli stops running and starts fighting back. Shadow creatures that are adorable one moment and terrifying the next steal every scene. The slow burn payoff when the mates finally start connecting is worth every page of angst.
