Title: Fighting Instinct (L’Ange #2)
Author Name & Publisher: Mary Calmes (Dreamspinner Press)
Publication Date & Length: December 8, 2014 – 224 pgs
Only a privileged few know L’Ange’s head of security Arman de Soto is a shifter, and even fewer know he’s been systematically killing off a pack of werewolves. The reason for this vengeance is a secret Arman trusts with no one, quite the opposite of his obvious longtime pursuit of the château’s overseer, Linus Hobbes. Despite Arman’s reputation as a loner, the only thing he needs to complete his life is Linus. Predator and prey just don’t mix—but Arman won’t give him up.
Linus has lived alone for more than seven years, sheltered at L’Ange under an assumed name and hiding secrets of his own, including his terrifying attraction to the most dangerous man he’s ever met. Arman knows Linus should be afraid of the predator stalking him, but Linus is still drawn to him like a moth to a flame, no matter how much he tries to deny his instincts. It’s not until Linus’s past and Arman’s crusade exposes their secrets and opens L’Ange to attack that Arman realizes waiting any longer is a risk he just can’t take. So he’ll have to take his quest to the source of the threat in a gamble to protect L’Ange, Linus, and any future they might have together.
This is my second time reading this book and I have to say that it was better reading it the second time. I gave it 3.5 STARS when I first read Fighting Instinct back in December, but now I’m giving it a 4.
To be honest it did take me awhile to get into this book. For some reason the first part of this book just did not grab me. But about half way through it got so good and everything started making more sense. Lets just say I was on the edge of my sit and could not put this book down after that point!
You get your shifter fix in this one definitely. There were so many different kinds and they all made up one pack which I loved!
Arman well I cant tell you what he is without spoiling the secret but I can say WOW!!! Then you have Linus a beautiful white stag.. So to see such completely different shifters was so different from what I am used to and I loved it!
The way they were together at first did annoy me a little bit, but after awhile when they admitted to each other their feelings and that they were mates they just fit so well together and my whole point of view changed.
There is a lot of violence in this one and killing which I can say honestly I am not sure how I feel about that. But it was to get back at the wolf pack for what they had done to Linus which was so horrible.
So all together there was a lot of action and big bad assed shifters lol. Which I loved!!!
I would definitely recommend this book!!!
