The story of Ruis Elder, null, thief and outcast, and Ailim, judge and head of her family.
These two meet under peculiar circumstances and immediately feel kinship and an attraction that they try not to act upon, but end up exploring. They make a balanced couple and help each other become better, but Ruis's moment of intense stupidity almost ruins everything between them. Thankfully for them and the rest of their world which benefited greatly by the revelation of what Ru,is had to offer, they manage to make things work and eventually get their happy ever after ending.
An intriguing world, realistic, flawed characters that the reader ends up rooting for and a great male narrator who brings the story to life. I look forward to reading more of the series, starting with [b:Heart Duel|515121|Heart Duel (Celta's Heartmates, #3)|Robin D. Owens|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1269203287s/515121.jpg|503078] and Holm Holly's story next.

A pretty good book. I could tell that I was starting in the middle of a series though as it was a bit of a bumpy introduction - trying to figure out what certain words meant and the story's setting and culture. However once I got into the swing of things I found the book enjoyable and interesting. It was pretty easy to guess how it was going to end. Me being a crazy cat lady I loved the idea of FamPets. Especially Samba. Primrose I didn't enjoy too much. The author made it seem as if dogs did not hold the same sort of intelligence as the cats in the book did, which bothered me a little bit. I can't wait to get my hands on the first and third books in the series to read. T'Ash seems like a fantastic character and I really want to know more about him!

I must have read this series at least six times now. It is becoming one of my all time favourites, and every time a new book comes out, I end up rereading the rest because the new book brings back all my feelings about the others. I am hanging for the newest which is coming out in a few months. I recommend this to anyone who likes the fated mate trope as these do it justice with flair!!
