LOVE IT 
 I don't exactly know what I should write, I'm still left reeling after finishing it. All I know at this moment is that I'm so totally bored. I just need more of Nalini's books to read. God knows how long we have to wait for another. 
 Naasir is absolutely delightful! He's so much different from all her other Alpha males, but yet retains those characteristics that defines Nalini's heroes. I am in love with him. *Sigh* 
 His and Andromeda's scenes are full of cuteness, banter and laughter that I just kept wanting to read more and more of them. Any time they were apart and I felt like Andi; just kept missing him until they were together again. 
 There was a person who said this in a review for Dmitri's book and I felt it totally after reading this one; it feels as if the stories of the seven are left incomplete. After the main characters get together at the end, we end up wanting to know more about what's going to happen next in their lives but their book simply comes to an end. Upon reaching the epilogue, I was thinking: "No! Their story is just beginning, you can't just drift off now!" 
 It's almost like a never ending story for each character, and you want to tell Nalini to continue writing and never stop. 
 I'm really hoping we get to see the interactions between Naasir and Andi with the rest of the 7 and Raphael and Elena. That was the only thing I felt was missing, even though it was great that the focus of the novel was centred on Naasir and Andi. Nevertheless, I actually want to see the group as a whole one of these days with everyone together; it'd be an epic scene! 
 I love the feral, wild, untamed yet playful characteristics of Naasir's character. His entire make-up was phenomenal. I so totally didn't expect what his origin came out to be. Had some idea, but I love this aspect of Nalini's storytelling... she gives you such delightful and unexpected tidbits that leave you charmed and in awe. I don't understand how these brilliant ideas come to her. They are amazing. Even throughout this book there such places that leave you stunned and wanting more. I don't want to mention any because I think it's just one of the charms of reading her stories. 
 Also, the way she makes up the pairings is perfect. The 2 characters just end up fitting each other like a jigsaw puzzle (totally cliched way of describing it, but it's an apt description). Like most readers, I was also thinking that Naasir needed a strong mate. When I first read that she was going to be scholar (when the title and blurb was released), my thought process was something like this: "A scholar?! She better have some secret to her! I can't accept Naasir as having a weak mate!" 
 Lol! Somewhat similar to what Naasir felt. 
 I am so happy that Nalini made a perfect match between Naasir and Andi. I don't think I can imagine him with anyone else. (view spoiler)[The way Andi saw Naasir as a person; the way that even Naasir came to realise that she saw him in whatever skin he wore, was a beautiful scene for me, and one that will most definitely remain as a favourite. I adore scenes like these because they strike home to the heart and just remain with you. (hide spoiler)] 
 I can go on and on about these two; as with any of Nalini's pairings, but it's just something people should read and enjoy getting to know their relationship. There are so many parts in the book that are adorable, funny, playful and real, that to write about them would be to ruin it for others who haven't read the book. My advice: Read! 
 Coming up to the point of Andi's secret, I agree with most who said that it didn't feel that huge a secret or problem. I felt that the tone of the book was set at a fast pace and because of that, Andi's and a bit of Naasir's back story didn't really take over the mood of the novel. I didn't find that to be a problem, as the build up within the novel to the next was fantastic. I didn't think the book loses out on anything, instead it leaves you wanting more... more insight into the lives of all the mated pairs (I've ended up thinking like Naasir now), more action, more drama, more romance (a whole lot more). 
 Although, I could really do with not having cliffhangers. 
 That epilogue at the end! My heart which was sighing delightfully; it's rate all of a sudden sky rocketed. What on earth?!!! 
 That was cruel Nalini! Poor Bluebell. 
 I can see why people are adamant about having a Bluebell and Aodhan pairing, but I wonder... Nalini has left that so up in the sky that I can't imagine what she has planned for the two. Arrgghh! The wait! 
 I'm not going to say anything on the epilogue, the cascade or Bluebell! First because there's not much I can say (I haven't a clue myself), and second, what there is to say is worth reading! 
 Until then, like others, I'm going to wait in misery until the next instalment. 
 Just a word for Nalini: HURRY!!!
