I just love it when I open a book and I get exactly what I have been expecting and hoping to get. 
 Oh, how much I have missed Breeds... 
 After Bengal's Quest, which was a complete mess, this one has a strong, nice story that reminded me of the good old Breeds' stories. 
 Cullen is the commander of the Navajo Covert Law Enforcement Division in Window Rock, New Mexico and he is a Bengal Breed. Unfortunately he likes things in order and he does not want to be a Breed. His denial results in recessed Breed traits. Consequently he lacks many of the Breeds characteristics (scent sensitivity, intuition and advanced strength etc.) and of course the Mating Heat. 
 When his brother Graeme appears again in his life some of his Breed's characteristics start to surface and this trend is intensified when his personal assistant Chelsea gives him her resignation and leaves him. 
 The Recessed Primal Breed at exactly this point realizes that Chelsea is important to him and a chink appears in his armor. The Mating Heat kicks in. 
 The book has everything you can always find in a Breeds' book: 
 1.	Adventure 
 Enraged howls filled the night as Chelsea slammed the Runner into gear and the desert vehicle shot forward. The deep tread of the tires bit into dirt, sand and gravel, then all but picked up and flew through the night. 
 2.	Funny moments 
 "Maybe it's hungry," she suggested, her voice low but definitely goading now. "Do you keep kitty kibble around?" 
 3.	Betrayal 
 "I'll be damned if I'll even try to work with him knowing how easily he betrayed our friendship and tried to endanger you." 
 4.	A few tears here and there 
 "Come here, baby. I'm right here. Come on, let me take you to your momma..." 
 5.	Passion 
 His arm went around her waist, his head lowered and before she could resist he let his tongue taste her lips, then pushed between the curves and claimed her mouth with a kiss he was craving. 
 6.	Love 
 "I love you, wild woman" 
 "I love you, tiger man" 
 The next book is about CASSIE and I am really looking forward to it. Please, please I want so much Dog as her mate. But I guess I will accept anything, if it is well written. 
 Also, judging from the number of unmated characters that appear in the book and they have been already introduced to us in the previous books and the number of the new characters; I can only think there are many more books in process. 
 I could see at least one more book with a surprising new character that she appears towards the end of this book. 
 Background reading: 
 Obviously the book is not a standalone. Although the writer provides in the beginning of the book an introduction to "THE WORLD OF THE BREEDS" and in the end of the book a few "BREED TERMS", you may still not be able to follow the story. 
 I can give you a few extra suggestions, so that you will not get totally lost. 
 1.	Bengal's Quest, if you want to learn more about Graeme/Gideon (Cullen's psycho brother) and his mate Cat. 
 2.	An Inconvenient Mate, if you want to learn more about Isabelle (Chelsea's playful sister) and her mate Malachi. 
 3.	Elizabeth's Wolf, if you want to learn more about Cassie (How can you read Breeds and not know Cassie?) 
 4.	Dawn's Awakening, if you want to know how Cassie and her obsessive mysterious stalker have started flirting.
