BLOG TOUR REVIEW - Resisting the Moon (Royal Shifters #2) by L.P. Dover

Title: Resisting the Moon
Series: A Royal Shifters Novel
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Published: December 29, 2015

The past was pain.
The present unclear.

For Tyla Rand, her future couldn’t be bleaker. Death follows her everywhere, especially behind those she cares about. Being a member of the royal pack, she believes her time of happiness will come. That is, until wolves from her old pack show up missing. Her mission is to find them, but she won’t be going alone.

Sebastian Lyall, a true born royal and the one man Tyla loathes, has offered to help in her quest. Their journey not only brings out their true desires, but attracts the attention of another, someone from Tyla’s past. However, nothing is as it seems. Death is not done with her and now he wants her to pay. He won’t be satisfied until he’s taken everything away . . including those she loves.

Another solid story of heartbreak, deception, revenge, true love and new connections in this series, this time we get Tyla's and Sebastian's rocky road to romance. Although we've met Tyla a few times in earlier books (Roped In, Turn of the Moon), we get the chance to learn more about her, and why she is so reluctant to be with her true mate, Sebastian.

A cryptic and chilling phone call from Tyla's cousin has her racing to North Carolina, with Sebastian accompanying her. Along with the devastation that is discovered, a few clues are revealed; but with each new revelation, there are another 74 questions unanswered. Tyla finally explains to Sebastian why she is so against the bond, but what bothered me is what made her decide to what do about that bond. I can understand her hesitancy, but it seemed like all of the sudden she's made her choice, almost as if someone flipped the light switch.

Sebastian is one helluva an alpha! He's all hot and intense and sexy and protective of his loved ones, but not the love 'em and leave 'em type like Tyla assumed he was. 

Just when you think you've got the story figured out and the reason for all of the drama, the story adds one more element that puts a whole new spin on the book, one I wasn't prepared for, but it made the story that much more exciting. I'm hoping we'll get Sebastian's brother Zayne's story next, especially after the discovery that happened in this story.

“Can I help you?” I asked, turning to face Sebastian Lyall.
His whitish-blond hair was perfectly coifed in messy spikes, his light blue, button down shirt matching the color of his eyes. The last thing I needed was to look into them. He’d had me tongue tied several times in the past and it ended up making me look like an idiot.
Smirking, Sebastian stepped closer, holding out a hand. “Would you care to dance?”
Rolling my eyes, I nodded toward the group of women in the corner who watched his every move. “Why don’t you ask one of your groupies? I’m sure they’d be more than willing.”
He and his brothers, Micah and Zayne, along with Colin, were hot commodities in our pack. They were all royal wolves—the elite. No female could resist them, except me that is. I couldn’t complain though; the royals helped make our pack invincible.
Sebastian leaned closer, his gaze serious. “I asked you, Tyla Rand. Besides, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“Why do we have to dance in order for you to spill? Just say it now.”
Chuckling, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. “What’s the matter, afraid to be close to me? I promise I won’t bite.”
Right. Huffing, I reluctantly walked onto the dance floor just when the tempo changed to a slower, sensual beat. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I growled. Other couples joined in and held each other, swaying to the music, while I stood there like a fool.
Grabbing my other hand, Sebastian pulled my arms around his shoulders and put his around my waist. “See? Not so bad.”
I glared up at him. “Just keep your hands from wandering. Now what do you want to talk about?” His hands snaked lower and I growled. “Keep it up and see where your hands end up next.”
Chuckling, he lifted them higher. “I like watching your cheeks blush. It’s sexy as hell.”
