On a moonless Navajo night, the recessed Bengal Breed known only as Judd became Cullen Maverick, grandson to one of the Chiefs of the Six Tribes of the Native Americans.
Bengal genetics, usually so fierce as to be labeled primal, was recessed so deep inside Judd that no hint of it can be found. A phenomena so rare it’s been notated only a few times. And there’s no way, it’s believed, to force those genetics free once they’ve disappeared past the genetic level.
Now, as commander of the Navajo Covert Law Enforcement Division in Window Rock, New Mexico, Cullen leads his six agents in protecting the treasures of the Navajo Tribes by ensuring they remain safely in Navajo possession.
Added to this mix is none other than the delicate Window Rock police detective determined to stick her pretty little nose in his business.
And once Cullen realized the animosity that keeps flaming between them is far more than he imagined, then the Primal Breed that’s lurked inside him comes out to play. And when that beast decides to make itself known, Cullen suddenly remembers all the reasons it was better off sleeping.
Cullen is a very controlled Breed not that he would admit it to himself or even his twin Graeme who is patiently waiting. When his assistant Chelsea gives in her resignation it really begins to awaken the Beast right after he kisses her because he can’t bear for her to go.
Chelsea has been in love with Cullen since she first spied on him when she was twelve and the feelings just get stronger so much that when he married her cousin she called him an idiot in her mind. Lauren her cousin was dying but she didn’t tell anyone till after they were married and Cullen tried to save her but he couldn’t no more than he can stop Chelsea from taking on dangerous assignments.
When he rescues Chelsea after she rescues the Blood Queens daughter he begins to realize that Chelsea is his mate if he can only convince her. Chelsea is strong and determined to fight her own battles which really messes with his mate feelings and to top it off someone has put a contract on her. I really liked the Dr’s journal notes at the beginning of each chapter plus the back and forth between Chelsea and Cullen so you get a taste of both their feelings.
As always Lora Leigh brings the characters to life so if you love these kinds of stories you will love this one. – Reviewed by Linda
