This is Jambrea Jo Jones’ second book in her Seeds of Dawn series. Having read Dreams, I had been waiting to see where Ms. Take 1 to 2 capsules twice daily for buy viagra for cheap quick remedy of the problem.

Sperm with low quality or motility, quaintly shaped sperms or sperms that are not commonly diagnosed by other health care spe cialis generic purchasets. Acidity can lead to gallbladder stones, respitecaresa.org viagra sale as well. Jones would take this one. Secrets is filled with surprises, passion, danger, action and evil beings intent on the destruction of all shifters. This is filled with a large cast of marvelous characters, and each is important to the overall story. Make no mistake, however, this is definitely Max and Valerie’s story, with the rest woven through like a finely detailed tapestry.

Valerie Thomas is a smart, independent woman. A reporter, she has an insatiable curiosity about everything, and a determination to get to the true story. When she sets her mind to uncovering the secrets out at Russ Masters’ compound, she doesn’t let a little thing like Max stop her. She is a magic user as well, although she doesn’t abuse her powers like many others do. She is not a forever kind of girl, until Max drops into her life. I enjoyed her sassy mouth as she continually baits Max.

Max Rockwell is a lone wolf, avoiding Valerie and her incessant requests for interviews, until she gets close enough for him to realize that she is his mate. Max is not ready for eternity with one woman, especially one that continually shakes his world and makes him crazy. But when Valerie is in danger, all bets are off, and he claims what is his. I loved watching as Max discovered what was important in his world, and I enjoyed watching Valerie and Max bounce wisecracks off of each other.

There are a couple of subplots here, including the meeting of mates for three other characters. We see Zareb, Russ and Djimon meet their mates, and they are all surprised at who each mate is. There is also the fight against evil, embodied in the person of Dmitri, the bad guy from book one, and the mysterious Vessel that began the whole situation. But things aren’t always what they seem, and soon all the Secrets are revealed and the pack must join together to exorcise the evil that is Dmitri to save Djimon’s life.

There is a hard won happy for now, but I look forward to the next book in this imaginative and passionate series to see where Ms. Jones takes me next. This is a hot one, so be sure to keep the fan on high.
