Blurb: Riker Tulsen is thought of by many in the Z Pac as the bad seed of the Tulsen clan. It is a reputation he doesn’t pay much attention to, never minding much what others think of him. He is who he is and makes no apologies for the man that he’s become.

Slade Marx is the youngest in his Spartician family. They’re a tight-knit clan, and there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for one another. Until one night, a tragedy strikes their family, forever changing their future.
In a time of need and a moment of desperation, Slade and Riker find their two paths crossing. They form a bond and an unspeakable connection that defies rational explanation as they meet in their shifted form of Spartician.

As they each learn more about one another, they will have to determine if what they have is a result of one moment in time, or if it was predestined.

Review: This is the second book to the Z Pack Alpha series and it is a pretty good series so far. You should read this series in order. This was a fascinating book and I absolutely loved it. I loved this book even more than the first. The characters were beautifully written with so much feeling that it was even better than I had expected. You can tell when someone writes with their entire heart is put into it and this was one of them. It doesn’t hurt that the sex was amazing and very hot.

Riker is an ass and doesn’t have much of a sense of humor. However when he comes across a shifted form in pain he does what he knows he must do. He goes to him and comforts the man. What he doesn’t realize is that now his feelings are coming out in full force. He doesn’t know who the man was, that is until he goes to the funeral of the father of a family friend. He sees a man who is hurting and only wants to comfort him. He realizes that Slade was that man in the woods.

Slade’s family was a strong and loving one. So when his father passes away he is lost, but he knows that Riker is the one that he wants to get to know. He is the one that was in the forest with him while he grieved. He misses his father, but he has found a man that makes him want to live. He has found his mate in man he wants more than anything in this world.

I loved this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. I can see the love that each man feels and wish that I was right there with them. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it there all the way to the end. This story gave me everything I could want in a story and I would recommend reading this to everyone. It gave me two gorgeous men, two amazing shifters, passion, and fire, pain, and a touch of anger, excitement, and hot sex.

Blurb: Tarek Falco was hardened as a young boy after witnessing the tragic death of his mother at the hands of a Panthatarian. Over the years, he grew to detest their breed and all those around him. Now as an Oath Keeper, his job is to keep Zarantaria safe, though few can tolerate him.

Micah Tulsen is the youngest of his Spartician brothers. With his rugged good looks, he usually has more suitors than he knows what to do with, though none of them much interested him like someone always had.

On the twentieth anniversary of Tarek’s mother’s death Micah watches him from afar, unnerved by the unrelenting connection he feels for him. With Tarek focusing solely on seeking revenge against the Panthatarian that killed his mother, Micah steps in refusing to let the past eat away at Tarek and destroy him.

The question remains…can Micah tame his wild beast? Or will Tarek’s unrelenting rage end up destroying them both?

Review: This is the first book to the Z Pack Alpha series. It is a pretty good story, one that I look forward to reading.

I have been reading for over thirty years and I always am amazed with the authors amazing gift at telling a story. I was introduced to paranormal romances a few years ago and I think that they are my favorite of romances. This story was pretty amazing, although it seems like I was reading it through a fish bowl. It seemed to be missing something for me to absolutely love it.

However, it is an amazing book. The characters are beautifully written with so much feeling that it seemed like you were right there with them. I felt what they were feeling when they were around each other or by themselves.

Tarek had been a young child wanting time to himself when his family searched for him. His mother had been killed in front of him. Now all he felt was anger, violence, the need for revenge and fear. He was feared or hated by many of those he protects, but in a way, he is angry with himself. So when Micah shows up he is a total ass to him, but he is also feeling the desire there. He wants Micah, now if only he would let the anger and pain go.

Micah had also been a young child when Tarek’s mother was killed. He had heard Tarek’s scream and had been there to comfort him. Although Tarek had not remembered that, he just knew that Micah was his now.

This was an awesome story, although as I said, it was missing something for it to be perfect. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me almost everything I could ask for in a story. If you love sexy men, shifters, excitement, just a hint of kink, a remembered past, and a very hot and passionate love.

I would recommend reading this story. I can’t wait to read book two in this story. I want to see how they are as time goes by.
