On her first no-kill hunt since the
murder of her grandfather, Scout Windrider finds herself
paired up with a sexy ranger who reminds her she is still a
woman deep down inside. Coming from a family of males who
are all happy and wedded, Cole doesn’t know if he will ever
find that special person, or if she will be just as special
as the women his brothers have been blessed with. The sparks
between Scout and Cole are tangible from first touch, and
Scout’s inner spirit tells her that Cole is something
extraordinary. Soon the pair find themselves in the middle
of a murderer’s playground with bodies being found all over
the mountains and with an animal in need of saving. Scout
has a special bond with animals that evolves as the two race
against time to save a wounded lion and, as open minded as
he is, Cole will have a lot to come to terms with before he
and Scout will have a chance at something lasting.
I started this book at a disadvantage not having read any of
the previous stories in the series. Not that they were
needed to get the full story I love starting from the
beginning and knowing all the previous stories. In
Scout ‘n’ Cole there is a blend of contemporary
mixed with paranormal that eventually becomes a story of a
shapeshifter. Which to be honest is where I started to lose
my excitement for the story. I think Ciana Stone started out
great with the paranormal twists and heroines ability to
communicate with animals I found interesting. When the story
took a turn into the shapeshifting department it seemed a
little like overkill. Still a good story just too much being
thrown in, which made the flow of the plot a little off in
my opinion. Outside of that aspect the story is something
I’m sure fans will enjoy even if they do agree with my view
on the excessive genre blending. |
