Review: Diablo Lake: Protected

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane welcomes you back to Diablo Lake, Tennessee: a town founded by witches, governed by werewolves and full of secrets 

Tensions are building in Diablo Lake as the two main rival Packs vie for control, and the town is divided along lines of Pack loyalty. Aimee Benton and Mac Pembry are on opposite sides and he seems to find excuses to spar with her daily. He's infuriating—not to mention charming, gorgeous and oh-so-lickable. 

Mac can't resist pushing Aimee's buttons. She's always been incredibly sexy, and the wolf in him craves a female with fire in her belly. When a heated argument ends with a sizzling kiss and Mac gets a taste of her, he craves more—and she can't seem to get enough of him, either. The forbidden nature of their attraction stokes their desires until they're secretly hooking up whenever they can. 

But then Mac's clan goes too far, and Aimee shuts him out. She's hurt and angry—but that's nothing compared to the rage Mac is feeling toward his own Pack. A fight is brewing that will plunge the whole town into chaos, and someone will have to cross Pack lines to keep the town's fragile peace from breaking apart for good.

If you like well written, funny, action packed shifter books look no further. This book also has witches but not the traditional magic wielding ones. They seem to follow the do no harm mantra and their magic is tied to the land and the protection of the town and its people. This book had me snickering one minute and swearing the next. I wanted to smack some folks in the worst way during this book. Amy and Mac's chemistry is off the charts and she gives him balance. They just get each other. And of course the cast of secondary characters is always fantastic. That is one of the things I love about reading a Lauren Dane book. You find so many characters that you want to have their own story. And thankfully she usually obliges.

I was given this book via Netgalley in consideration of a review. I give this one 4 stars. If you are looking for a good series give these a try. Here are the links to Amazon.
