Centuries of tradition have bound your soul to ours so tightly that neither time nor trial will ever be able to separate us. In Book One of the Wolf Pack Series: Kit has avoided her parents increasing pressure to marry for years. Granted, her shifter parents refer to it as mating, but Kit isn't one to split hairs over semantics and the results will be the same. She'll lose her freedom and the idea of answering to an Alpha doesn't appeal to her in the least. Kit also knows that mating will bring on her magical powers and those come with some hefty baggage. After seeing the burden the powers have been to her mother and grandmother, Kit is in no hurry to join in the never-ending battles between good and evil. However, an evening of dancing with a friend ends Kit's hope of avoiding her destiny. Jameson and Trevlon Wolf traveled the world looking for their mate and almost gave up finding her when she walks into their New York City dance club. However, they quickly discover that convincing her to give them one week to prove that being their mate won't be the end of the world was the easy part—protecting her was going to be a lifelong challenge.

'Fine does it again. The mistress of "I think you'll find it's more complicated than that" delivers a brilliant and witty riposte to the "boys will be boys" bores. Fascinating.' Caroline Criado-Perez'In addition to being hopeful, Fine is also angry. We should all be angry. Testosterone Rex is a debunking rumble that ought to inspire a roar.'
