I honestly don't know what to do with this novella. It started out BEAUTIFULLY with King Alarick and his adviser Lord Jean Eldrich - best friends who are BOUND to be lovers but the story wasn't about THEM it was about Price Owin of the Ocelot Shifters and Grimmwolf of the Grimm Wolves pack. While Grim usually downplays his heritage he is pretty up there in the food chain as well as the monarchy (if it can be called this way) even though he is "merely" Price Owin's "bodyguard" though I'm not sure what he needs body-guarding from (himself?)
It's time Prince Owin shows his worth in a quest. Failing means loosing his crown, but he isn't worried, he is sure he can get what he wants. After all he is a prince, others should bow down to him and do his bidding. Including or mostly Grimm. He can't stand him, can't stay away from him and generally doesn't know what to do with him. Grimm just stand there on the side smiling because he has figured Owin a LONG time ago and instead of being offended he is simply AMUSED (which annoys Owin even more).
I understood what the mission was all about right from the start, it was quite obvious really, but I can't say I enjoyed the ride as I disliked Owin. I COULD see what Grimm found in him, but for me he acted like a 4 years old almost the whole length of this novella. Well, if you exclude a bit of the sexy times between him and Grimm. He was EXTREMELY immature and entitled, I didn't find it appealing or find him to be a "hero material". Sorry.
While I wasn't a fan of this novella, I can't wait to see what Charlie has for the next novella, and especially what's going to happen between King Alarick and Jean! I'm a HUGE fan of Charlie's THIRDS series as well as many of her other contemporary / suspense novels so I don't take my thoughts of this novella too seriously. Sometimes it's like that. We can't always love everything.
I kindly received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
