Savage Urges
by Suzanne Wright
Ryan and Makenna are probably my new favorite couple.
They both have a well-rounded personality and great chemistry. I loved Ryan's no-nonsense attitude and actual character traits which informed his actions and decision. I loved that Ryan simply decided on Makenna and was not suddenly sexually overwhelmed by her presence like some of the others. And he acts on it (view spoiler)
Sadly, Zac was a good starting point but quickly pushed to the sides. He was mostly forgotten after the first few meetings and (tiny spoiler for the next book) barely mentioned there as well.
This did all happen a bit too fast but oh well. It still has many of the other tropes the rest of the series suffers from but the main couple elevated it above the rest. (I totally could have done without Makenna's sad backstory and resolution as well as the shallow "let's help the shelter" scene.)
The setting of the shelter was also very nice. It both showcased a new part of the world we haven't seen yet and added some nice (and needed) worldbuilding. We also get back to the council, if with a slight/large Phoenix bias. Remy, however, is the third (?) villain we have that has a cliche motive (view spoiler) and was absolutely not necessary.
