New Release Review: Primal Desire (Children of Shairobi #1) by Lupa Garneau

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Cole never thought he'd find himself in those he was running from...until he met Nexhan, clan leader of a legendary shifter race.

After a century of vengeance, Nexhan, clan leader of the Rune Fang, returns home to find his people teetering on the edge of extinction. Still plagued by his past and his sense of failure, he has closed himself off from even his closest friend. He is desperate to return to the shifter way of life, but doesn't know how to cope with the death of his family and lover.

Cole is the typical outcast. Clumsy, quiet and angry. After years of disappointing his parents with his inability to master his cougar's predatory skills, he runs from the pressure to mate a female who he’s unable to love, but he never expected to end up living among the saber-toothed cats. Heck, he didn't even know they still existed. Embarrassed by his lack of skills, he retreats into himself, quietly nursing his pain.

A chance meeting in the forest leads Cole to accept Nexhan's help and companionship, but he never imagined he'd be trusting the male with his deepest secrets. Nexhan vows it’s just sex, but the cougar intrigues him like nothing before. Can he move on and finally lay to rest his trouble past? 

Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series.

Publisher's Note: This book was previously released by another publisher. It has been revised and re-edited for release with Totally Bound Publishing.

My Review:

Nexhan is a clan leader plagued by his past and his sense of failure. Cole is the typical outcast…clumsy, quiet and angry. A chance meeting could heal them both and lead to a startling discovery in this captivating m/m paranormal romance. The author has created a fascinating world filled with some unique shifters and elements that make for a refreshing change. It has touches of otherworldly, divine, mystical and modern all mixed together in a fine tuned blending of worlds to become its own reality hidden within human reality. I was completely enthralled with the story from the very beginning and I feel that it promises to be a fascinating series, so I can’t wait to read the next one and see where it takes me.

Deep in the heart of Redwood National Park, enshrouded by magic, live the Rune Fang, legendary shifters on the brink of extinction. This once secretive place has now become a sanctuary for those seeking protection from their arch-enemies, the Kaga—demons that exist solely to leech shifter magic.
