My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Miguel knew about the unpredictability of life; he saw it every day with Rescue, Inc., but he never expected to find his mate suffering at the hands of his own kind. All Miguel could do was wait and give his mate the time and space he needed to heal. Jacques had been to hell and back as a blood slave and at times had wished for death. Life as a blood slave was a nightmare he thought there would be no escape from. When he was finally set free, it was his mate who released him from his prison. Jacques was in no condition for a mate. Used and abused, he wanted nothing to do with Miguel or their mating but it was difficult to ignore their connection, the bond developing between them. Could Jacques overcome the trauma of his past, or would his past come back to haunt him and destroy his future?
This was a mixture of an emotional story when we focused on Miguel and Jacques and their relationship/mating and a dramatic one when we focused on the Vampire Council and their involvement. I loved that Miguel gave Jacques the needed space and started by visiting and talking to him before building up to more interaction. I liked that there was discussion about emotions and feelings and finding something useful to do to focus the mind. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
