Synopsis
Branded an
outcast by the noble branch of his werewolf clan, Cort Renier had come to San
Francisco seeking fortune – and revenge. What he found was a mysterious beauty
who could not – or would not – reveal who she truly was. At first she seemed
vulnerable and afraid, like so many girls caught up in the debauchery of the
city’s whiskey – soaked gambling dens. But one look into her stunning turquoise
eyes and he knew he’d found the winning hand.
Aria
di Reinardus had reasons for concealing her identity, but Cort’s kisses were
enough to convince her to go along with his plan to transform her into a
missing heiress and return her ‘family’. But they were not the only ones with
secrets to keep and vengeance in mind, and they were about to discover that
some destinies couldn’t be outrun...
Thoughts
Cort born to an
unweathy family who happened to get beaten and thrown on his ass for being in
love with someone who never wanted him, and wanting something more than his
family could give him.
Angry
he turns himself into a gentleman and feeds himself by winning card games.
Which is where he wins and meets Aria, a werewolf, like him, who is lost in the
world, not really knowing who she is, but he does, or his friend and they plot
to take her home and get a great reward. Only falling in love wasn’t a part of
the plan, he finds his whole life turned around when he realise that they feel
too strongly for each other to be parted.
Re-read: this book is all ravelled in lies
and betrayal and games. Though it’s that time where games where a thing you
were born to play but there were just so many threw out that it’s hard to keep
up. Though very simple to follow, if that makes much sense.
It’s
not one of my favourite books, though I did like it’s just hard to pin point
why. Maybe because the male is been hurt for so long, full of anguish or
something and it’s about him opening up and falling in love again. Or maybe it
was because even though you had a female who was innocent in everything civilised
who was still strong and independent.
I
don’t know, with her it’s almost like what it would be like if we were thrust
into that world and were told we had to fit in. we’d rebel but we’d also let
live, because we knew it was what we had to do. That’s kind of what she was
like.
Anyway,
it’s like the whole book gets rolled up into the emotional packed ending and by
the time you close the book up it’s all that’s in your head and so, for that
matter, the book was great....but was it?
