From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin 

Chris is the guy Cosette always wanted.

Fun. Funny. Lighthearted and sweet. Chris always manages to find beauty and laughter, even when fighting a chapel full of demons. He’s exactly what she needs. Except he’s a werewolf and she’s a member of the Lunar Court — the only fey court that holds sway over the werewolves. Even on his best day, Chris isn’t strong enough to last a few hours in the Lunar Court without becoming a slave. No matter how much Cosette’s heart wants him, she knows she has to let him go.

But when Chris goes missing, Cosette realizes how much she has to lose if the worst happens. Except her mother — the Queen of the Lunar Court — won’t let her go after Chris. Being forced to stay at court is dangerous for Cosette. Assassins keep coming after her, and unless she accepts a mate, it’s only a matter of time before one of them kills her.

Cosette is the girl Chris has always dreamed of.

Chris sees through the tough facade to the girl exhausted from a lifetime of fighting off assassins and court politics. She needs a true friend, someone who she can be herself around, and craves solitude. The same solitude that Chris craves. But he knows he’ll never be enough to survive in her world. So, when Eli — a mysterious archon — requests his help, he figures why not? The guy might be a little shady, but he needs every distraction he can get.

But when Eli says that Cosette’s in trouble, Chris is more than ready to play by Eli’s rules. At least until Eli takes him to the Court of Gales. Chris knows he’s about to play a very dangerous game. Bargaining with the fey is something only a desperate person would do. But what wouldn’t Chris give up to save Cosette’s life?

My Review:

5 Out Of 5 Stars

Genre: Another-World, Faeries, Heart-Wrenching, Romance, Royal-Court, Supernatural, Suspense, Werewolves--

After fighting the fight of their life and outing all the supernatural creatures, the battle is still not over for Chris and Cosette. Cosette is required to return to Lunar Fey court and take her place as princess, leaving Chris and all their unspoken feelings behind. But Chris is not ready to say goodbye, and he knows that Cosette is in danger, a danger he wants to protect her from. But what Chris doesn't know is that Fey is even more dangerous than he anticipated and both Cosette and he and just pawns in someone else's game.

Aileen is queen of the heart-wrenching story! Every book of her's that I have read usually makes me feel like I need to curl up and cry and one point or another during the story, but I think Lunar Court takes the win- there were so many times I felt like I needed to hug the book, be it present time or during the flashbacks. This is the perfect example of Star-crossed lovers, move over Romeo and Juliet, Cosette and Chris are here now. Gawd, poor freaking Chris! I loved getting to really meet Chris here even though his back story was the most depressing, it helped to make me really connect to him and appreciate him so fully. The fact he can be cheerful and positive even after all he went through was remarkable and made him that much more endearing to me- I can see why Cosette loves him.

I was pretty sure he loved me back, and I wasn’t sure if that made things better, but it definitely made them harder.

I have always been intrigued by Cosette and her role in this world, how she just seems to pop up at all the right times but was never really part of the group. I feel like I really understand her now, know her motivations and the hard choices she has had to make over the centuries of her life. And can I just mention how it is awesome that she was the Knight in Shining armor to Chris all those years prior? Oh and Van is pretty interesting, I would not mind him getting his own book sometime... (hint hint)

This was another stellar installment in the Alpha Girl series. I started the series years ago because I am always on the look out for new werewolf books, but I stayed because I love the characters that Aileen has created and how detailed and complicated the world is. I can easily say that this is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for dangerous paranormal situations, court intrigue, conniving fey, with all kinds of supernatural creatures- and a nice dollop of romance. I can't wait for the next book now!

I reviewed a complimentary copy of this title.
