I checked out the handy dandy series guide on her site, then I remembered I don't give a fuck about reading books in order *g* and just picked. Hunter's Pride ended up being my first read. It is set in the hunter's world but is noted to be a stand alone story. You can read an excerpt here. click for summary A woman determined to find answers, a man sworn to keep secrets. She was a child when it happened, an innocent brutalized by a man who was meant to protect her. When Kennedy ran, he came after her with every intention to kill—only to find himself face to face with creatures no rational human could explain. Now, fifteen years later, Kennedy has returned to Pride Mountain, intent of finding out more about the creatures that saved her. Are they animals? Or something more… Duncan Pride remembers Kennedy. But the woman he sees is nothing like that terrified child he saved. But he can't let her learn the truth of Pride Mountain. He doesn't count on her stubbornness, or her courage. He also doesn't plan on falling in love with the willful, beautiful woman. He can't let that get in the way-his Pride is counting on him. It is an average read, nothing grand but nothing really bad either. The story starts out with a very heavy handed subject and doesn't let it weigh the story down. That can happen when an author tackles an issue that really can't be explored, solved, or put to rest in the space of a novella. But the past isn't our point but more of a jumping place for how and why Duncan and Kennedy meet. Good read, nice intro into Shilohreadingworld and inexpensive if you are just stepping your toes into the ebook world. My biggest issue was the evol guy was oh so evol and the big show down was rather over the top. But it is a paranormal, they are suppose to be larger than life. And it is rather creepy when all the aliens gather in the backyard to watch scully's baby being born comfort/guard Kennedy during the big show down. But all in all I would give it a C. Love to hear what you guys think if you have read it, read other Shiloh Walker stories or have recs! Next Shiloh Walker read: Her Best Friend's Lover
