This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Eaton has had a crush on Marty for a long time, when the leader of the hawks is badly injured Eaton will do anything to have him healed, even make a deal with a sorcerer. Marty is horrified when Eaton is taken because of him, the eagle shifter is his mate and he will do anything to get him back. Marty and Eaton’s friends are willing to go to war to get Eaton back, but with a sorcerer casting his spell will Eaton want to come back?
I love a good light-hearted story of friends pulling together to rescue one of their own and that’s what [a:Amber Kell|2853933|Amber Kell|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1318562633p2/2853933.jpg] has created with her wonderful Banded Brothers series, a group of friends as close as brothers sticking together through thick and thin and finding love along the way. This is Eaton’s story, the quite, studious eagle shifter who has the hots for bad boy biker Marty. With Marty so injured that he might lose his hawk, Eaton puts his trust in the sorcerer Gallen and discovers Gallen has his own plans. Marty has come to the point in his life when he wants to settle down and finally claim Eaton, being injured and learning he might lose his hawk is a hard blow, but Eaton persuades him to trust Gallen. When Marty discovers the trust is misplaced it is too late and there is nothing he can do, turning to Eaton’s friends they mount a rescue, but is it too late?
This is a really great little story that gives us that spark of excitement that we have come to expect from Banded Brothers, the fierce loyalty, the guns, the explosions and the idiots who think they can take on the friends. The writing is great, showing us not just the strong bonds that hold these friends together but the devotion that each friend finds in their mates. Does that confuse you? Me complementing the entire group? Well, Amber Kell doesn’t forget the exceptional bonds just because a character already has their story, and they are still there even if it is more in the background.
Eaton and Marty are sweet together and both will do anything for the other, they are very easy going with their relationship with no recriminations from Eaton when he discovers Marty knew they were mates. Marty’s helplessness with the situation screams at you, but Eaton’s cunning is impressive. Although you sneer at Gallen’s behaviour, by the end of the story you find a little pity for him. The new people you meet makes you wonder what will be coming after Harris’s story, and I really can’t help hoping for a story for Aden, he is soooo perfect for a clash with an Alpha male.
I will recommend this to those that love shifters, paranormals, magic, hot sex, great characters, a great storyline that leaves threads for the next book and a very happy ending.
