Thorne Grantham is the son of the alpha of the South Toms River pack. He and Natalya have a lot of history -- they were once in love and everyone thought they would be married. Then five years ago, Thorne left town without an explanation and broke Nat's heart. Now he's back and engaged to be married to Erica.
Nat gets caught up in trying to preserve her family's honor by paying her father's moon debt to a werewolf who is connected to the Russian Mafia. In doing so, she finds herself tangled up with mermaids, muses, wizards, and fairies while she drives a big rig from Atlantic City to the Maine woods. Things do not go as planned; which is par for the course when Nat is involved; but she still manages to get her father's moon debt released and her family's honor restored. All of this and she is still training for the trials to be allowed back into the pack and contending with her feelings for Thorne.
KEPT is a fun, fast-paced paranormal romance that keeps the action coming right up until the very end. Shawntelle Madison has crafted a wonderful cast of characters with Nat, Thorne, Aggie, and the rest of the Stravinsky clan and her world building is first rate. I truly enjoyed this book.
Book Summary
A funny and sexy new paranormal romance, perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris and Patricia Briggs, Kept features the charmingly quirky werewolf, Natalya Stravinsky, as she navigates the minefields of love and war in the Garden State.
Fresh from defending her pack in battle, Natalya Stravinsky, a whip–smart werewolf with a lovable neurotic streak, wants a little rest and relaxation. Once an outcast, she's now eager to rejoin the ranks of her New Jersey pack, and has even gotten a handle on her obsessive urge to hoard holiday ornaments. Yet Nat barely has time to revel in her progress before the next crisis comes howling at her door.
Nat's father has suddenly gone missing, captured by the Russian werewolf mafia. And as Nat steps up to save her dad from a mob boss's deadly game, two men step in to play another round for her heart: her gorgeous alpha ex–boyfriend, Thorn, and her new flame, the sweetly sensitive wizard Nick. With her life growing more harried by the minute, Nat must stay cool, calm, and collected . . . or else risk losing everything.
