When at first you don’t succeed—turn to abduction.
It’s all in a day’s work when this Siberian tiger meets the woman he wants.
An accidental kidnapping? Check.
A forced marriage? Check.
A virgin bride? Damn. There go his plans for seduction and here comes the pressure into making her first time perfect. Because everyone knows that's the one she'll remember, forever. Gulp.
Add in a plane crash as well as hunters out to capture them and the heat is truly on.
Can this Siberian tiger meet the challenge?

This was an interesting story, not something I was used to from Eve Langlais. For one, I’m not used to her heroes kidnapping the heroines, but that is what happens in this book. It isn’t quite as bad as it sounds. The story with this book actually starts off a little bit in the previous book.
Dmitri is a Russian mob leader tiger shifter who has been after Meena, the heroine of When an Omega Snaps. He had actually kidnapped her a few times only for her to escape. He wanted a large lioness to have his cubs so that the would be the largest cats around. Well, he gave up on Meena when she got married. Then he meets Teena, Meena’s twin sister; identical twin sister.
Teena and Meena might be identical twin genetically, but they are nothing alike outside of genes. Where Meena was very rockem sockem and a partier, Teena is more cultured and still a virgin. Both did inherit the clutz gene.
Dmitri decides at Meena’s wedding that he would do things right and woo Teena instead of the snatch and grab method that didn’t work Meena. However, his thugs didn’t get the call and drug and grab her anyway. Even then the escape back to Russia doesn’t go quite as planned.
For this being a story about a mafia kingpin kidnapping a woman and coercing her into marriage, this book is full of humor as you would expect from an Eve Langlais story. We don’t get to see as much of the lioness from the previous stories, but that is okay. I would like to see Luna get a story of her own one day.
So what if he doesn’t love me yet? We are married. He’s mine. She had the choice if she wanted to make this marriage real. To have him in her life, in her bed, and in her heart.
What about inside me?
Desire made her bold.
Tossing the phone to the side, she flung herself on the couch, spread her arms wide, and exclaimed, “Take me, I’m yours.”
It might have proven sexier if the French provincial sofa, with its carved spindle legs hadn’t collapsed on the floor.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
Wonderful review! I need to pick up this series sometime soon. So many books. So little time.

I know, especially with Eve. She writes so fast, I can’t keep up with her. I still have most of her Cyborg books to read all of the alien books, the Freakin’ Shifters and I’m sure something else I’m not thinking of.

I was surprised that Langlais went with the hero kidnapping the heroine here too. I usually hate that trope, but didn’t think it was too bad here.
I’ve read a few books with that trope, but they are usually written by authors who write darker things than Eve writes. This one works out pretty well and Teena wasn’t exactly unwilling. I think he would’ve gone with him if his goons hadn’t gotten in the way.

Awww a tiger
I know, tiger shifters. 🙂

The book I read by her(name escapes me)the hero accidentally kidnaps the heroine in that one as well.It’s the purple alien one. This sounds fun, and I like the sound of the excerpt you included. Glad it was a good read for you 🙂
I haven’t read any of her alien books. I have heard good things about them, but if I remember, they weren’t your cup of tea. I think it is funny that she keeps having heroes who accidentally abduct people. LOL

Loved the sound of this series and went to Amazon to check out the rest of the books. At $9 a print book or $4 for ebook, and less than 200 pages, I think I’ll pass. With 4 books in the series that’s $36/16 for less than 800 pages or around a quarter a page. At that rate, I’d be broke in a week.

I got them from my library. This author writes so fast I couldn’t afford to keep up with her. I have bought books from her, but until my library started carrying her books, I didn’t read nearly as many.

I haven’t read any of her books, but I believe I have several languishing on my TBR. I need to step up my game. They sound good! 🙂

I still have quite a few on my TBR. I do love Eve Langlais, but she writes so fast, it is really hard to keep up with her.

I’ve been thinking about reading this and more from this author. I’ve seen several really good reviews for this book, including yours and it makes me want to read the book now.

i’m a huge fan of Eve Langlais. Her books are always able to make me laugh. I hope you enjoy whichever one you decide to pick up. There are a lot of great choices.

I got used to the kidnappings with her alien books and found it odd about myself that I enjoyed this trope and the fun that came with it. 🙂 This situation looks similar.
I need to come back for this series. I only read book one and didn’t get to the rest b/c I was busy catching up on the cyborgs.

I still haven’t finished the cyborg series. I will finish it this year. I’ve been focusing on demons and shifters. I haven’t even started aliens yet.

It does seem ironic that a book with a mafia boss kidnapping a bride would be so funny – but then, that’s something Langlais does so well. And it’s a good thing, I bet, since this could have a completely different feel without the humor. I’m happy you enjoyed this installment in the series, Melanie. By the way, I one-clicked Kodiak’s Claim. 😉
Yay!! I hope you love Kodiak’s Claim. I’ve read kidnapping books from other authors who that were very dark. It is a completely different feel.

Kitty! 🙂 I love a book with some good humor and I’ve been wanting to read this series for some time now. Glad to know this one is good.

I love Eve’s humor. She has tons of snark and smartassed humor in her stories. I also love that her heroes and heroines run the gamut in variety. She has nerds, klutzes, badasses, smartasses and more.

I like the sound of this one Melanie! Even with the Kingpin kidnapping a woman! Sounds like my kind of read!

I know most people don’t like kidnapping stories, but this one is very interesting. It was an accidental kidnapping, LOL. It is pretty funny.

This sounds delightful, I think this is one I already have on my wishlist thanks in part to you.

Thanks Kimba. I do love this author. I haven’t read anything by her that I haven’t enjoyed. I hope you get a chance to try one of her works.
