Lainey Mercer is excited about
starting a new chapter in her life. With
the help of her best friend, Lainey lands what she thinks could turn out to be
the perfect job. Finding a new home for
the last displaced animal is a relief to Lainey. Feelings of relief quickly turn to confusion
when she meets her new boss. First
impressions leave her feeling aroused and annoyed at the same time. Sure, she’s a sucker for his untamed
demeanor, but not so much for his arrogance.
Taber Ellis was impressed with
Lainey on paper, but in person she was so much more. Her sharp tongue didn’t hide the fact that
she was drawn to him and Taber welcomes the challenge. After all this time, Taber never expected
to find a mate, but now that he has, nothing was going to keep him from
her. Up until this point, animals have
been the most important things in his life.
Gaining Lainey’s acceptance as a man is proving to be difficult, so how
will she react when he tells her he’s a God?
Lainey feels betrayed when she
finds out the truth about Taber and doesn’t want to hear his excuses. Painful memories from her past make it hard
for Lainey to forgive Taber easily. I
have to admit that I sided with Taber on this.
The hurt that Lainey was holding onto was completely different from
Taber not telling her he was a God. I
think she made a bigger deal out of the entire thing than she should have. Taber tries to make Lainey see his side in
this situation, but he has little success.
In the end, it’s their love of animals that finally bring Taber and
Lainey together. It’s funny how tragedy
sometimes brings on the happy ending you hope for.
Taber
is
the fifth book in the Kemet Uncovered series,
and it’s left me wondering what I missed in the first four books. The passions and problems of Gods always seem
more intense, especially when dealing with women who aren’t afraid to drive
them to the edge. I love the fact they
at the end of the day, Taber is still just a man who messed up and needs to get
back in his woman’s good graces. Aliyah
Burke and Taige Crenshaw are skilled at showing all the sides of a character,
so readers understand them. This is another
gripping story that will draw you in and keep you hoping to see the characters
reappear in another story.
