Blurb: Sequel to The Soldati Prince

Foxling Toka has served the Soldati king for centuries, and now he attends to the kingdom’s cherished Soldati prince. It’s a position of honor, and as Toka helps the once-human prince adapt to their magical realm, he finds joy in their friendship. He also grows bolder in his encounters with Rayner, Soldati warrior and the king’s second. But the laws are clear: servants and Soldati are not permitted to mate. It doesn’t matter that Toka lost his heart to the dashing cad long ago.

Rayner never imagined he would fall in love with a servant, but the clever and beautiful foxling has ensnared him, and he resents the regulations keeping them apart. When an arrogant and spiteful king visits from a neighboring realm, Rayner is in danger of losing everything. But Soldati warriors don’t surrender, and he intends to fight all the harder to keep Toka where he belongs—in Rayner’s arms..

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: As stated by law a foxling servant can not mate a soldati warrior. That does not stop foxling Toka and soldati warrior and second in command to the king, Rayner, from a relationship. When a king that is disgusting on so many levels decides to visit things go from good to the worst thing imaginable.

Let me say I hated Povani. He was despicable, heartless and thought of no one but himself. I could not believe what he set into motion just to make Rayner suffer because he refused to marry Pavoni’s brother years before.
My heart went out to Rayner and Toka for the injustice and lies told to throw their lives into chaos.

This is a truly wonderful story with plenty of drama, action and suspense. I love this series and looking forward to reading more.

Highly recommended.

Blurb: One moment Riley Murrough is living a normal life working in a coffee shop, and the next he’s running for his life from demons, learns he bears the mark of a shape-shifter king from a magical realm, and—worst of all—he’s destined to become the mated prince to the arrogant tiger shifter he would rather strangle.

Khalon, the shifter king, is equally distraught at the idea of being bound to a human prince, and along with his Soldati warriors, he sets out to return Riley to his own world where he belongs. On their journey they might discover why the priestess brought them together—if they can escape the demons and make it to her alive.

Review: Riley is minding his own business when suddenly he is attacked by demons. Khalon and his warriors come to the rescue and whisk him away to another realm. Riley is not happy and tells them all this. He wants to go home. But alas he is the mate of Khalon who is also not happy with the idea of being mated to a human.

They all travel to go to the high priestess to correct the bond. But along the way the two grow closer and secrets are revealed casting a new light on why the high priestess sent Khalon to Riley. 

I really enjoyed this story so much. It was both intriguing and fascinating. Learning about the Soldati was very refreshing. I loved that Riley was no pushover; he was sarcastic and humorous at times as well as understanding. Khalon seemed a bit uptight but that did not diminish the story. His character fit the story perfectly. 

Many other characters were introduced in this first installment. I can’t wait to see what is in store next. Filled with action, drama, and sexy men this book grabs hold and does not let go until the very end.

Highly recommended.
