goodreads...
Can you turn the clock back on your first love? Would you even want to try?
Alex McCann and Teodora "Ted" Vasquez left Cambio Springs
together. Ted came back. Alex didn't.
Now, years later, the future alpha of the McCann wolves has returned with
plans to bring new life to the dying desert community. Plans that could change
everything for the isolated enclave of shapeshifters in the California desert.
Some love the plan. Others hate it.
As the town's doctor and one of the strongest daughters in the cat clan,
Ted has her own concerns about exposing her community to outsiders. The two
former lovers are at each other's throats. And everyone is watching to see what
happens.
But when murder once again strikes Cambio Springs, can they overcome their
past to help the community they both call home? And can the love they shared
once burn again when so many stand against it?
DESERT BOUND is an adult paranormal romance in the Cambio Springs Mysteries
series.
My take...
Ted has restarted her life back home in Cambio Springs as the town doctor.
She has learned to move on the best she can since her and Alex went their
separate ways. Only now he is back. And he says for good. But Ted doesn't
believe him. She knows from experience he never sticks around. Only time will
tell if he truly means it.
This series is one of my all-time favorites. Of course all of Hunter's
books are some of my all-time favorites. But this one is all about the
shifters. And I must say...Hunter does it right. I've read some shifter books
that didn't click with me. But everything about this series clicked right into
place. I felt at home surrounded by her characters and her amazing writing. I
don’t think I will ever get enough of her imagination.
I absolutely adored the work up to the romance. It was smoldering. It was
fresh. It was oh so hot! Alex is doing everything he can to prove to Ted that
he loves her and wants to be in her life forever. Only Ted isn’t so gullible
these days. She has been hurt by him before and is going to make him prove
himself over and over again.
Another awesome factor is we see all our old favorites in this one. Caleb
and Jena are not going to sit idly by on the sidelines. Oh no! They play huge
roles in this book. Then we get Allie a whole bunch too. And it is perfect
because her story is going to be next. So pay attention. You will want to know
what all is happening in this dusty little town.
DESERT BOUND immediately captures the reader and pulls them in...refusing
to let them go. At least it was that way for me. I actually took my time with
this one for fear of it ending. Because when it ends, it ends. You have to wait
a while for the next one. And patience is not one of my better qualities. I do
recommend you read FIVE MORNINGS before you dive into this one though. It gives
you a bit of a back story for Alex and Ted. And just because it is so flippin
fabulous!
