Series: Brimstone INC
Synopsis:
The Montagues and Capulets have nothing on the Canis and Banes wolf packs. The two have been feuding for ages. The brutal murder of the Banes’ alpha only added fuel to the fire. And now there’s only one way to bring peace—the current alphas of each pack, Marrok and Tala, need a mating of convenience.
Tala has her doubts. A thousand of them.
Never mind that Marrok drives her body to levels of desire her vibrator has trouble keeping up with. If she can’t get her inner wolf—or her people—on board, forget peace, because she’ll lose the tenuous control she has over the Canis pack. Her new mate is just so damn alpha. He’d better learn to play nice or Tala will have to show him who’s boss.
But Marrok has plans of his own, and nothing and no one, not even Tala herself, can resist an alpha…
* I would like to thank Entangled Publishing for a copy of this book in return for an honest review*
“If Shakespeare had solved the Montague and Capulet feud by uniting the two families through a marriage of convenience, would it have looked like this?
A intense paranormal marriage of convenience between two alphas in order to bring together their feuding packs. This was a fun sequel novella to The Demigod Complex in the Brimstone INC series!
We are first introduced to Marrok & Tala in the first book as we learn about their marriage and see one side of what happened at the wedding. The Demigod Complex left me wanting to know more about this couple and Owen did not disappoint.
” Always present the image you want to be known by.”
In true enemies to lovers nature, this story had all the banter and sass that I crave! The politics that play into the packs and that power struggle that Marrok & Tala face within their packs and between each other added so much to the sexual tension and plot.
I absolutely adored Tala as a character not only is she a female alpha, but she is so fierce and kickass! She knows how to stand her own and the scenes of her fighting were hot! Marrok was such an adorable male character that you just want to squeeze in a big hug. Of course he makes some mistakes and handles some situations like a typical alpha male. He definitely pulled out that redemption card, he worked on it and tried so hard to fix everything and fight for Tala.
” The strong, independent, fierce woman who hid beneath a facade of icy control and couture clothing had won him, heart and soul.”
Although this story was super short and had me wanted more from this couple and see more of their relationship. I think Owen was able to tell a great story and wrap it up nicely! There were a few times that I felt were repetitive. It was like the scenes were copied and pasted and a few words altered. Overall it had good pacing for such a short novella and gave me the paranormal steamy smush I needed! If I could be in any thruple it would be with Marrok & Tala, they are both adorable and sexy alphas! If you love paranormal stories with steamy moments, politics, witty banter and a fantastic enemies to lovers read, this book is for you!
