Guardian of Darkness (Darkness #7)

Blurb:
Before
five years ago, Gabriel had never met Vega, but he knows how she's going to
die. He knows he'll be involved... unless he can make sure they never meet,
never cross paths, so that his vision will never come true. So he left his pack
behind, joined the Stavros pack and was determined to never let that future
play out. To never meet her at all. Fate had other plans—and she walked right
into his life when he least expected it. For the last five years he’s avoided
Vega whenever possible even while trying to keep an eye on her. But when she
gets cagey with her pack and disappears, he has no choice but to follow her.
Now, circumstances are forcing them to work together and he’s determined to
protect her against any threat. If that means dying for her, he’s more than
willing to. But she doesn’t want his protection. If anything, she’s determined
to prove she’s stronger than everyone thinks.
She’s
writing her own future…
Vega
isn’t the same moody teenager who came to live with the Stavros pack all those
years ago. With college behind her, she’s been recruited by a division of the
government’s supernatural Black Ops. Trained and more than ready for her first
mission, she doesn’t expect Gabriel to crash her assignment. To save her cover,
they pretend to be a couple. But soon lines are blurred and neither can deny
the incendiary attraction between them. As they race to stop a man who wants to
sell out their people to the highest bidder, they find themselves fighting for
a future together. With time running out, she has no choice but to rely on the
irresistible male who’s turned her world upside down. Unfortunately, in order
to save the woman he loves, Gabriel has to give her up.

Review:
Talk about coming full circle!
In
the very first story in this series, Vega’s parents were reunited after many
years being separated and she finally met her father, and now we get to see
Vega find her forever mate in the one man that has held her entranced for half a
decade. While this series has evolved
and changed, going through different shifter packs, the Stavros pack has been
woven throughout the series beautifully and getting to return to the core of it
to see Vega get her man was a fun and amazing experience. Gabriel has been haunted by his attraction to
Vega for a long time, ever since he looked at her and recognized her as a woman
for the first time, but he is determined to keep the vision of her death from
coming true. He knows that if he
embraces Vega as his mate he will have to watch her die, but more and more the
passion between them is irresistible and when circumstances press the bond on
them, he is going to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. I loved seeing these two sparring with one
another, fighting together against their enemies, and finding their connection
building more swiftly than either of them ever imagined possible. The heat and
fire in their relationship might have manifested in battles and arguing for a
long time, but in the end that passionate nature turned into physical heat and ultimately
a love that would burn for eternity. I
am dying to see what comes next for this pack and of course to meet the newest
member of their pack when he arrives, but in the meantime I will look forward
to it by rereading this amazing story to experience Gabriel and Vega’s love
over and over again. Thank you for another amazing experience, Katie.
