Ginger just wants to be able to carry cubs for the man she loves. But after another failed attempt and the ultimate betrayal from him, she's flailing, with no answers to the question of how her animal is turning into something she can barely control, or whether she'll get the family she's always wanted. Enter Gemini, a saber tooth and the last of his kind, who needs a special mate to help him balance his immense power before it kills him.

I loved this book so much. Seeing the personalities of Gemini and Ginger clash and then blend was a great journey. The added twist of cat shifters not giving in to mating was something I didn't expect--why make them fated if they can just refuse? But it played nicely into Ginger's bratty personality and Gemini's need for control. I like that he refused to rush her even when it was hurting him, and how she learned to calm his animal and ease his pain. That was love. The way he indulged her and forced himself to be patient, and the way Ginger claimed her place with him, even when her emotions still had a ways to go made me smile. Ginger charming every one in his life was no less than I expected and the way he protected her at all costs was no less than I expected of him. Great story.
