Cute Aggression!!! That is how I feel about Smiley. I wish I could squeeze his cheeks. 
 Its not often I read about an Alpha male who is so sweet but has a core of steel. Thank you Laurann Dohner! I loved that he wasn't similar to the canines and Felines. I loved that the primate in him made him more sensitive and susceptible to being hurt. 
 I liked as well that Vanni was able to have her own complications and that while she moved on quickly (giggle giggle), she was able to think things through and stay strong in her convictions. She was a perfect match for Smiley and while she was shy in certain areas she was able to grow with him. 
 On a side note, Jericho....I loved that we got to see more of him and get to know him. I hope we see many more books because not going to lie I have a list...and its growing Ms. Dohner.
