Genesis Fairchild has been waiting for years or her mate only to be rejected by him on her birthday. But just as she is getting ready to throw in the towel on love a certain silver-eyed lycanthropy named Constantine corners her and tells her she is his soulmate. Genesis is suddenly thrust into a world of Lycan royalty as her inner wolf is making changes of her own. To top of it off the mate who rejected her wants her by his site as his mistress and his father the Alpha of her pack will stop at nothing to make that happen. Will Genesis be forced to complete the mate bond with her werewolf mate that only wants her for what she can give him? Or will she be able to choose the lycan who will cherish her above all? Either way Genesis will not go down without fighting tooth and claw for what she wants. This book was such a different take on shifters that I simply had to love it. It takes such a brilliant and inventive author to flip the script on a nearly cemented plot type. You will constantly be surprised about the directions that Ridley takes her characters and will be oh so happy with the outcome. It took me a while to open his book but once I got through the first pages I could not put it down. Ridleys heroine Genesis is fierce and stubborn and passionate about what she wants. My only hesitation is giving this a five star review is due to how Genesis has a very young internal monologue, which while entertaining can become tiresome over multiple chapters. Constantine is protective, territorial and supportive of Genesis and the development of their connection is similar to reality in how it is an imperfectly perfect relationship.
