My dragon quad has claimed our territory and rightful place as leaders of Twisted Flames MC.

All that's left is to claim our mate, but we lost her twenty-one years ago.

We think all hope is lost, that she's gone forever, until we find a woman collapsed in an alleyway of our city.

She's our, but she doesn't know it yet.

There's a lot she doesn't know, and what she does know, makes her fight our bond.

But when it comes to her, we have all the patience in the world.

We already lost her once, and we won't be letting her out of our grasp again.

She's ours now and forever.

Review:

How quickly a life can change in a blink of an eye. One minute Thea is with her family of witches, donating her blood weekly to keep an illness from overtaking them, and living out her life happy with those she feels love her. The next she is waking up in a dark alley with two handsome strangers looking at her like she was the second coming of Jesus. Then once they bring her home to recover from whatever ordeal she had gone through to cause her to wind up in a strange part of a city she knew nothing about she finds out there are two more men who look at her in much the same way. The possessive men confess that they are her mates and that she was stolen before she was even born. They had never thought to see her again and yet here she was. It was a lot to swallow, especially when everything Thea had known of her life and the world outside of her coven's home was completely different. But there is no denying the draw she has with each of them. As if they hold the key to her entire existence and that she couldn't take her next breath without them. But will Thea be able to figure out her past in hopes of having a future with these four delicious mates she never knew she had?

I devoured this book in a single night. It wasn't a long read but it was completely engaging. It was unlike anything I had ever read before and that is saying something since I was a hardcore paranormal romance girlie before I dove into contemporary. I think the male characters were every bit the possessive alphas they needed to be without being complete alphaholes.

Thea was interesting. I didn't find her as enjoyable as the men. She cried so often that I felt like I should make a drinking game out of it the next time I wanted to get blackout drunk. She was very soft and looking at the cover I never would have seen her as that. I would have thought she'd have been a badass who would have kicked her mates asses right along with their enemies. But she was incredibly meek which did get on my nerves a bit. She was praised at one point for seeming to be even stronger than the males but then she never actually showed her ability to be that. She would run to her men any chance something bad happened like a little mouse. Thea is the only reason this book wasn't a five star read for me. 

But even with Thea not being my cup of tea the book was still stellar. I will happily be reading more of the books in this Syndicate world to see how they measure up to this one. But straight out the gate this was a good one to start with.
