Review: The Sweetest Torture by Amanda Bonilla

Thirty years ago, when the sultry and headstrong Cait left Logan Paige, the Alpha cougar shapeshifter of his Montana pride, his entire world came crashing down. He couldn’t explain where he’d been the previous night or why there was a strange woman in his bed…because he had no memory of the night before. Wounded and betrayed, Cait refused to listen to Logan’s excuses and walked straight out of his life…determined to exact her revenge on the sexy cougar who had crushed her heart. With a little help from her influential father, she made sure that Logan’s business, as well as his life, crumbled into ruins. Hell hath no fury, indeed.

But now it’s thirty years later and two of Montana’s most powerful cougar prides are on the brink of war. A tenuous peace is reached, but it’s dependent on Cait and Logan marrying on All Hallow’s Eve. Spitfire Cait has her own plans of revenge…using her feminine wiles to turn Logan into a purring kitty lapping cream at her feet. And Logan has his schemes to regain control and dominate like the Alpha he is…

When they realize that the erotic passion between them is still so intense, Logan and Cait will have to decide if dwelling in the past is worth sacrificing the future…

Kitten's Review:

Oh, how The Sweetest Torture was one of the best shifter books I have ever read. I have to say, that I am a huge fan of the ‘mating heat’ part of shifter books. Only because it forces souls to meet and connect on that primal, authentic animal level, it is raw, and if done right, totally hot. I gotta say, this book gets it sooooo very right.

Not only were we confronted with a dueling mated pair, but a conflict that was so intense that you were totally feeling for Cait right out of the gate. I mean it was infidelity—in mate pairs. Yeah, I was so on Cait’s side with this one. Then some inner dialogue took place and then we see that there was nothing unfaithful it was a set up…

Oh, yes a set up.

So, what are two hot in heat mated beasts to do? Well, mate of course! And so they did, and boy was it a hot smoldering scene of yummy, the storyline had some meat to it as well. We had to clear up the misunderstanding, and deal with a possible kidnapping in the climax of the story. For a short read The Sweetest Torture managed to make me a fan of Ms. Bonilla. I instantly went and grabbed some of her books in the series she has out and can’t wait to read the rest! I highly recommend this quick, sexy read for any shifter fans!
