Primal by Vanessa Vale

4.0

 Riley and Tyler should have been the couple but kissing him felt like kissing a relative! But things go from bad to worse when they are attacked by a mountain lion!  Seeing Tyler literally change before her eyes leaves her stunned but she has now become a headache for the pack!

Cody is sent to take her into custody and get her to a memory wiper.  But one sniff and he realises that this young woman is his mate!

Now we've got age gap, fated mates, abduction, ex's dad, all grown-up situation.  There is a major dose of Primal K!nk too!  Reformed player with the good girl? Yes, please!  Add in a heaped dollop of protective dad and I was sold.  There was also a suspense element to the story that really helped to move along the action and allow our star-crossed lovers to get their HEA.

Riley may be naïve and younger but she has a great grasp of life and she is wise beyond her years.  Cody is a nice guy under all that playboy and everything got wrapped up neatly at the conclusion. Cody really was the perfect partner for her and I loved that he wanted her to have a life separate from him but they managed to combine their lives really well.
