It's almost as if the series is back on track for me after reading this book. With a slight variation, since the sentry of the pair is not the stronger partner for once, this was actually a nice surprise. It will be interesting to see how adding a sentry to the mix of mates will change the dynamics. I hope it will, there is some great potential to play with that a little - with a few other mates not falling into the traditional (or rather, initial) mold.

Mark is a guy we met in a previous book, and it's good to see him back. Interestingly, despite the title, the issue isn't really the fact he isn't gay. The fact he's never been interested in a man before is overcome easily and with a minimum of fuss. His concern for Caden is cute, his loneliness jumps off the page and even though his tendency to be a Dom came as somewhat of a surprise, he fills the role well.

Caden is the youngest sentry and in over his head. He behaves more like we have seen some of the other mates behave - and he ends up with that group despite his initial resistance to the idea. I liked that he gave in to his needs, and even though he is submissive in the bedroom, that is more of a kink for him than a lifestyle decision.

There are a few new characters as well, introduced at the end, and I am looking forward to what is next. ( )

This was a very well written way to handle a mate not being gay. I don't want to spoil it, but Caden is just very sweet. ( )
