Unclaimed Sara Humphreys Sourcebooks, Dec 3 2013, $6.99 ISBN 9781402258558 Timber Wolf Clan hybrid Tatiana knows her incredible veterinary skills come from her Amoveo half that enables her to communicate with animals in a special way. Her married sister Layla (see Untamed) arrives at Tatiana’s practice in that unique purebred or married hybrid way to ask the vet to help Prince Richard’s poisoned Arabians. Tatiana hates the purebred for murdering their father over mating with their human mother, but reluctantly she agrees to go to the royal’s Montana ranch accompanied by her new dog Cass and her assistant Matt. Full-blooded Tiger Clan member Dominic Trejada the Royal Guardian believes either the Purists or the human Caedo family is behind the horse assault. When he and the vet meet for the first time, each recognizes the other as the costar of their dreams. Neither makes the first move as she detests the purebreds and he has doubts about making it with someone who obviously hates his kind. As they fall in love, he protects her from outside threats while she treats the steeds from the insidious actions of an inside traitor. The fifth Amoveo Legend (see Undone, Untouched and Unleashed) is an engaging romantic urban fantasy. The entertaining romantic subplot goes as expected with the animal whisperer and the guard passionately fighting their attraction until love overwhelms both of them. To the delight of series fans, Tatiana’s veterinary ability and Dominic as a warrior adept make them a formidable team as they search for the betrayer and battle the Purists with the Caedo encouraging the shapeshifter civil war.
