“Doing what you want is the easy path, Aspen, but doing what is right is always a choice.”


Choices, choices, choices! This shifter fantasy revolves around the choice the Female of the Triquetra, Aspen Anai, must make between duty and happiness. Enemies become lovers and lovers become enemies as the two males of the Triquetra (Sabre and Caius) compete against each other in the Mating Games. They compete to determine who the next Alpha will be and to see who gets to mate with Aspen to produce the Alpha heir. Challenges arise as Aspen becomes less self absorbed and starts to notice what’s going on around her. As her eyes are opened to war, greed and corruption what will she choose, duty or happiness? 

Forbidden love, steamy romance, betrayal, deception struggle for power and all BIPOC characters …this book has it all and I loved it! The development of the characters over the course of the book is perfection, especially that of MFC Aspen. In the beginning I loathed Aspen. She was spoiled and annoying. As I read I started to like her, feel sorry for her and root for her. I wanted her to figure out a way to reclaim her power! Sabre is another character that has me all over the place in my feelings! Do I love him or hate him or is it somewhere in the middle? 

Anyway all I can say is Laecans rock! READ THIS BOOK…you won’t regret it. I can’t wait for the next one!
