Liam, as brother to the Alpha, is used to people doing as he tells them. But December, bookshop owner and very human sister of the town Sheriff, refuses to fall in line with his plans. She's not ready to be anyone's mate and with her family's tragic history with shifters, there is no way she could fall in love with one. Is there?
The APL is gathering pace and when they target December for "associating" with shifters, Liam has no choice but to step in and protect his mate - claimed or not! He'll just have to sort things out with her brother later - one she is out of danger.
Liam is just on the right side of protective and possession without being obnoxious. He can see Decembers point of view and when he learns of the attack on her brother he understands her reluctance more. Their chemistry is fab and all the banter and tension between them adds to the story.
Bring on book 3!
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance Primal Possession is the second book in the Moon Shifter series. And after reading the first book I just wanted more of this author and this writing. And even though I will say I liked it, I didn't love it like I loved the first book. Maybe my expectations were too high ....I am not sure why I wasn't as immersed as I was with the first book. It was a solid story and there was nothing in the book that bothered me to be honest. It just didn't get to me to that addictive point that the first book "Alpha Instinct" did. I was pretty tired when reading so that probably played a factor in it. Still planning on grabbing up book three. Primal Possession is a story that features our characters Liam and December. Liam is the Alpha's brother, he is more of a beta of the pack. He is an alpha to the core but not a pack alpha. He has found his mate in December but there is a major problem: one she is the sister to the sheriff who hates shifters and two she doesn't like shifters either. But Liam is determined to show her of of sincerity and affection and that he will stand by her. But there is something in December's past that Liam has no knowledge of.....her brother was killed by a shifter when he tried to protect her from being attacked. But there is a danger not only to December but to her friend (who is heroine in book three) and will Liam stand by December when it matters most? Primal Possession was a likable great read and I did have a fun time with it. I really enjoyed finally seeing December and Liam get together. We saw the beginnings of their story in book one. I would say read this series in order because each book has hints to the next couple in the next book in the series. So it does help if you read these in order. Which I do kinda like that, it gets you excited to binge on these books. In Primal Possession it was quite interesting seeing the author's take on a "unrequited love yet fated mates story" and I did enjoy seeing how she handled this complex situation. Now you see that the heroine's distrust of Liam is a given, especially after the trauma of seeing her brother killed in such a way and why her older brother is so protective of her. I did feel though Liam was judged too harshly at times and that December should have told him the truth sooner. Because he doesn't really understand her animosity towards him fully until she becomes more open and honest with him. We do see that she needs that level of trust but I do feel she could have done it sooner because it dragged on throughout the story. I did feel that Liam was a fabulous hero. He never gave up on December even though she treats him horribly at times. He knows they are mates and love seeing his determination to fight for her. Overall I found Primal Possession to be a treat of a read, it combines beautiful levels of suspense, mysterious elements and intrigue into a emotionally powering shifter romance.
