Ryan
hopes that by helping Kontra’s group of shifters take out one of the scientists
research facilities, it will help him make up for falling for the scientists
line of bull. He did not expect one of
Kontra’s men to be his mate so does not know if he should bring his past up, or
if it would be safer to stay quiet.
The
thirteenth book in the Kontra’s Menagerie
series, Texas Longhorn Surprise, is
the story of Ryan and Sam. Readers may
remember Ryan from his brief appearance in Solider
of Fortune’s Downfall. In this
newest story, the readers learn how Ryan became involved with the scientists,
as well as some of the things he was forced to do. I really felt bad for the former military
man, especially when he is faced with possibly killing a rogue shifter.
Sam
is one of Kontra’s men. The author
reveals a lot about Sam’s past, and I must say readers will be shocked by what
the shifter went through. His past has
some dark moments that left more than physical scars. He always hoped finding his mate would help
him overcome his past so Ryan’s reaction to the news that they are mates
devastates Sam.
These
two men have the mating pull right from the beginning, but each has issues in
their past that they have to overcome first.
I like that the author did not whitewash the problems these two
face. I really felt for Sam in the
beginning when Ryan denies him. I do
understand, however, why Ryan was so hesitant to get involved with Sam, and
like Ryan, wondered how the shifters would react when they found out about what
Ryan had been forced to do.
Ms.
Richards is able to bring together couples facing all type of issues. That she is able to bring Sam and Ryan together
in a believable way will not surprise the many readers that love her stories. There are many shifter couples from previous
stories around to help the men find their way.
The secondary characters also add a few laughs and don’t forget the
action once they set out to hit the scientist’s facility.
