| When Bruno Tangaree claimed Renee as his mate all those years ago, he told her she had the gift. He told her of his dream to teach all werewolves control over the elements. It never occurred to him in the beginning that there would be those who feared the gift; those who would kill what they didn’t understand. Bruno had begun making plans to fake his pack’s demise, but the other packs moved too quickly and instead of fighting, they bombed the island. Bruno wouldn’t have believed they’d be too cowardly to face the Werewolves of Malta. Book 2 opens as the bombs are exploding and frightened people are running through the streets and screaming. A mysterious man on a motorcycle grabs Moira Tangaree and speeds with her out of the deadly situation. He takes her to the harbor and safety. He is Dante Aldo. Chosen by her sire to be Moira’s mate, Dante is Bruno’s best student and partner in teaching other werewolves about the gift. Moira fights Dante and since they are already at the harbor, he lets her go and watches her board a ship to safety. Bruno has made Dante promise not to claim Moira until she has matured, so for the next five years he watches her. She becomes an agent for Werewolf Affairs’ top secret organization Global Werewolf Attack and Reconnaissance -- GWAR. She has often sensed the shadow who watched her. Now has come the time to claim her. Dante must kidnap her from GWAR, gather the survivors of the Malta pack, explain that he was not their destroyer and convince Moira that her sire intended them to be together and to accept him as her mate; a tall order, even for the werewolf known as the Pack Destroyer.
Wow! This book is even better and more exciting than the first. The sex is hotter and the sexual tension has the reader just about panting through the whole story. The plot, the excitement, the sex, the tension and the character development are all superbly well written in the way we’ve all come to expect from Ms. O’Clare. The story is touching but Dante’s strength and devotion to a woman he’s met only once are amazing, yet completely believable. It is part of whom and what he is that he would watch over his mate without introducing himself until she has matured as he promised her sire. Moira has been shaped by her past; she has lost everything and everyone she loved, she trusts no one and will submit to no one. She and Dante represent the ultimate in werewolf evolution and she can sense that he is everything she hoped for in a protector and a mate. The sex between them will keep the reader melted like hot candle wax to the pages. Living Extinct is a satisfying book in all categories. You’ll love this book.
