I loved this book. 
 I've liked Rydstorm since he was first introduced And I wasn't disappointed by his story. 
 I think what I like most about his series is that the "mates" are all of the lore. I get annoyed by books where they spend most of the story stressing over if their leading man is crazy or not. In this series there isn't any of that and I really like that. 
 Characterwise this is probably my favourite pairing but story wise, not so much. I got bored slightly by how very little happened. Yes they trekked through the desert and all that other stuff but it felt like nothing was happening. 
 Still a worthwhile read and I'll be reading the next in the series once I can get my hands on a copy.
