I really liked this peek into a different group of werewolves. I thought it was interesting that Reno was this crazy rogue wolf, but he never seemed all that dangerous. I know part of that is because we were viewing him through Brandi's eyes, but it was still interesting to watch the other character's reactions too him. Also, I really enjoyed Brandi because she wasn't just a typical submissive she-wolf like we saw in The Mating. I really enjoyed how she and Reno interacted. I really liked the scene at the end, probably because it was the only time I ever felt like Reno was dangerous. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and definitely look forward to more from this author.

Oh, Reno *fans self* There was just something about him that made me want to jump in the book and take over Brandi's life. I wanted to be her!

Any way, I found this book different than the first one because it gives you a look into how Lycans run their kind. Reno is an alpha wolf but since he does not have a pack, he joins the Lycan Link and becomes an Enforcer. I see Lycan Link as an secretive office/campus where wolves who leave their pack join and learn about how they can take part in the Lycan world by becoming an Enforcer or a DC officer, etc. Reno's job as an Enforcer is to settle situations that are arising in packs and if needed, to fight to get the situation under control. This pairs him up with Brandi every once in a while because if the situation wasn't handled properly, Brandi's job is to come in and cover up what happened for the human community that they pack is located by.

Now that you know that background, Reno and Brandi hit it off in the first part of the book but then try to create mountains between each other, for various reasons, but their job keeps bringing them together. Both are great at their jobs so it comes as a shock when Brandi transfers departments within the Lycan Link and take a vacation to go home. Once home, Brandi realizes that her pack's new alpha is a Purist and calls Reno in for some help. Again, this throws them together and they fight the whole time all while craving each other as a mate.

Bonded was a fantastic prequel; read it.

I loved this book!

A little long, but overall a good read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really couldn't put it down. The writing was good, the storyline was engaging, and all ther characters were truly likable.

Romantic suspense that some might call soap opera material. I like it anyway!

This book was very enjoyable and for being a free book it was far above anything I would expect! Will be reading the next books in the series for sure :) and they are all free too! I will be making a donation to the animal shelter for over the price of the books as per the authors notes at the end if you enjoyed the book :) That alone would make me read the rest of the books even if they were not as good as this one :D

The Law of the Lycans Series is a series of five books that explains the law of the Lycan Werewolves with a story behind it. Each story behind each law is good but I didn't like how the writer wrote the story. Nicky kept on repeating what I've already known. Yes I can understand the characters questioning things, but why do this in every chapter? It just drags out the whole story. I've also didn't like how Nicky kept referring the main character as a third person. The books Bonded and Betrayed was okay, but after that the other three books, the main character was she or her and not I or my. I think if you write a book from your characters point of view use that main character as a first person.

This doesn't mean I didn't like the stories of The Law of the Lycans, it just made it VERY HARD for me to read the books. Most of the time I skipped over what I already known. I did like the relationships each character had with each other. That part really pulled every book together. In one way are another each one of them knew each other and had a relationship.

I read The Mating first not realising it was part of a series, enjoyed both books. I found the characters believable, werewolves aside. and am a sucker for a happy ending. I found the Mating just as believable based on the cultures around the world that do arrange marriages often without prior knowledge of all parties.

I read this a year ago and love it then and wanted to brush up since the new installment came out. I love the series. Well written and different .
