| Having possibly found the man of her dreams, Mala Bey can't believe it when she watches him lose control of his motorcycle and crash into the Everglades. Even worse, when she tries to find him, it seems he's nowhere to be found yet she hears his voice everywhere she goes.
Laird Jaeger doesn't know much about his biological parents, yet when he's involved in a motorcycle accident he soon learns all about the Seminole blood that runs through his veins. However, even though ancient forces are pushing him to realise he's their only hope for survival, he clings to a lifeline to his present -– a woman with the most gorgeous gray-green eyes he's ever seen. Although I liked the way this book started with Laird pulling alongside Mala's car on his motorcycle, I was a tad confused after his accident. How could she not have been able to find him? And why was she the only one Laird had a connection to? To me it seemed a little too coincidental. However, although I found the plot confusing, I did like the dialogue and the connection Mala and Laird had between them. Because Laird made Mala feel wanted, more than any man has ever made her feel before while with Laird it was a chance to have a lasting relationship with a woman, something he's never previously had. What I enjoyed so much about Mala is that she pushed to keep Laird in her life through their connection when ancient forces were pressing him to forget about her. While with Laird, I was disappointed in him for giving Mala up so easily for his ancestors, even when she came to mean so much to him. In conclusion, I was glad I finished this book in the end as the ending tied it all nicely together. This is a must read for fans of this author's work or readers into tribal history.
