Johnnie is so giving and adorable, and so damn wanton in his innocence, I can't even. The POV is mostly Hugh's, but we get glimpses of Johnnie's after he climbs out of the darkness. Only once briefly on page, and not after he 'discovers' Johnnie. Hugh has sex with all his pride members.Įveryone calm down. Group orgies and public nudity are the norm. How do 1,400 lions go undetected on land that abuts a national park? Does anyone have a job? Who cares? There is a side plot involving betrayal by one of the pride members, but there's not a lot of world building in terms of lion prides or shifters. The majority of the story focuses on the relationship between Hugh and Johnnie, Hugh's realization of how much he's wronged Johnnie, and their growing connection. Then a near tragedy forces Hugh to finally wake up and pay attention to the one person in his pride he's neglected. Siphons are rare and special, but the Siphon is just a nameless entity to Hugh. Hugh also has a Siphon, a lion with blue eyes assigned just to him, who always hovers nearby and draws Hugh's excess power. His body needs an outlet for all that energy and strength. At 7 feet and 300 pounds, Hugh is a big man, a powerful man. Hugh is the Premier (alpha, leader, president) of a large, successful lion pride.Īll Premiers have dark hair, eyes, and skin.

And people who feel worthless don't have much desire to live. At age 102, Hugh apparently doesn't realize that treating a person like an object, ignoring his very existence, makes that person feel worthless.

Hugh wins Oblivious Douchebag of the Century award. Despite being connected to an espresso drip all day, I'm still yawning.
