Review: Each book in the Primal Heat collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Jake has had a hard life. His father was so focused and possessive of his mother, that he didn’t even want her near Jake or his brother Cole. When she had taken her life, he had shot Jake and Cole. Cole was insane, killing anyone that even comes close to hurting Jake. Jake had just wanted someone to love and for them to love him back.
It had not gone to plan.
Now he had two gorgeous men that didn’t even give him the time of day. One he had always wanted had left him after their one time together. Jake didn’t know what to do about Zach or Quad. They both acted that they didn’t want him, and then Zach finally makes a move and then leaves him. Now Quad is acting like he wants him.
Things are just about screwed the hell up.
Zach had never wanted a relationship. He wanted Jake but had never made a move. Then what does he do after their one night of sex, he runs. Then he ends up at his parents and his life is about to get even crazier. Russians mistake him for Quad and tear him up pretty good. Now he has two men and nights full of nightmares.
How can he go forward when his head is stuck in the nightmares?
Quad is a mercenary and kills those who deserve it. After a fucked up attempt at taking out the Russian drug lord, he heads home.
Those he tried to kill are coming after him. Then he finds and saves Zach from certain torture. On top of that, Jake is thinking that both of them are just screwing him over. Now he has to figure out how to stay alive when Jake’s brother comes for him, when the Russian’s send their assassin and two pissed off mates. This is not going to be easy.
When these three get their crap together it starts to heat up. At first I thought Jake came off as an omega, but then I realized he was not what you would think he is. He is an enforcer who just lived through some harsh crap. I wasn’t so sure Quad or Zach would ever figure it out. They don’t find their mates like many other paranormal stories do. They go through a primal heat that usually ends up with their mates pregnant. This is a bonus for me.
It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story. What makes it even better is that the mates can get pregnant. There is nothing better than a male having to go through labor to me. When Lynn puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.
