Styx's Storm by Lora Leigh

Styx's Storm might be book 22 in the Breeds series but it is still going strong. Styx's Storm is full of both heat and drama, that will have you clinging to the pages.

To save innocent, young Storme Montague from the claws of Breed slave traders, Wolf Breed Styx is forced to claim her himself-on the condition that Storme will no longer be a virgin by night's end. And though Storme's defenses are up, Styx will free her-in ways she never expects.

For the most part I enjoyed Storme Montague's character, there were times that I wanted to grow up a little and accept the hand she was dealt. But overall I understood why she didn't trust people. It would be hard to trust people with the life she had. She survived all those years on the run by being smart and cautious, and not making bad choices.

I loved the reaction Storme had to Styx's from the very moment they met. She was exhausted and had no place left to run, when she accepts his help because she doesn't believe the he knows who she is. I could understand how Storme felt when it turned out Styx did know who she was and slept with her trying to mate her and gain her trust. I am glad  that it didn't hurt the relationship they had by the end of Styx's Storm.

I loved Styx's but I didn't agree with some of the things he did. The struggle that Styx went through to gain Storme's trust was great. I loved the drama of it, and her fighting him but wanting him all at the same time. Styx's is patient as much as he can be, but knowing that Storme is his mate and Jonas wants to put her under Breeds Law doesn't give him much time to get Storme to come around.  Poor Styx was stuck in the middle between his mate, and the duty he had to the Breeds.

Like all of the Breed novels, Styx's Storm is a strong story with wonderful characters and scorching sex. I loved how far Storme came in Styx's Storm. She went from lumping all Breeds together as violent beast, to accepting them and calling them friends and family.
