About this ebook

Fate decided they were mates. They decided something different. Or so they thought.

Dhani has always been on the outside looking in when it comes to the Talon Pack, but she’s not about to let fate and the moon goddess decide her path for her. When she takes Kameron as a mate, it will be her choice.

Only their enemy takes the choice from them.

Kameron will sacrifice everything for his Pack and family. Even if it means losing a chance with the woman he loves.

As long as she survives, he knows it will be worth it.

The enemy Alpha changed the rules. And if the Talons aren’t careful, they could lose everything.

Again.

I'm a late comer to this series & have only read a few, & then not all in order. I had no problem following what was going on or enjoying this book. My only concern would be if I have missed any important details in the overall story arc for the series. But given this is the penultimate, anything important would likely be recapped in the final book. I did struggle a bit with who each of the characters belong to when they are in group conversations, but not enough to diminish my enjoyment. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The characters were fun & while I'm not a huge fan of the inclusion of magic in books, there wasn't really enough to put me off.

I LOVE Dhani! I love her sass and her strength and her outlook. She's a smart-alec, but she stands up for herself. She's powerful in her own right, even if she's just a human. But is she really? Dhani has always known things without understanding why. She's also always had dreams that aren't dreams. Kam, oh he's just yummy and totally needs balance in his life. He's focused on protecting the Pack and bringing down Blade, to the point he's willing to deny finding his mate. Good thing Dhani calls him out on it. One of my favorite scenes in the entire book! So what happens when Dhani Stands Up, Opens Up and Gives Up? Something completely magical. Sacrifice begets sacrifice, and Carrie Ann Ryan shows how powerful that is in Strength Enduring, the latest installment of her Talon Pack series. I really loved how Kam and Dhani fit. Their interactions had me smiling and I just had to know what happens next! I managed to read the entire book in one sitting! As Ryan brings this series to an end, her books are showing how much she loves her wolves and the Redwood and Talen Packs. I'm dreading the next book, since it's the final one in the series. At the same time, Ryan has stepped up her game and I can't wait to see how she's going to wrap up this amazing series!

This book wasn't my favorite Talon Pack book. Between the Talon and Redwood pack books, I actually think this might be one of Carrie Ann Ryan's weakest romances. However, the overarching story arc of the series did move quite a bit forward in Strength Enduring. So if you are a Talon fan, you need to read this book. My issues with this book stem from stale internal motivations of both Kameron and Dhani. Kameron knows that Dhani is his mate but he isn't acting on it since it would put her in danger. Instead, he doesn't learn from his sibling's and cousin's mistakes and he chooses to ignore the pull to her. I think we all know how well that probably goes for both Kameron and Dhani. As far as Dhani, she encounters issues in the human world and flees to take refuge with the wolves. Dhani knows full well that they'll take her in. Basically, very little emotional new ground was covered here in comparison to other Ryan books. As well, Dhani's backstory confused me from the very first chapter. I just couldn't understand her family history or the motivations behind everyone's actions. It turned me off of the book almost immediately and, sadly, my motivation to read this book never quite recovered. There are good pieces of this book, though. Carrie Ann Ryan excels at showing true friendship in a book that lacked romantic sizzle. Dhani's girlfriends show her true support when she needs it most and Kameron's quiet enduring friendship with Max was especially poignant. I did appreciate that Ryan fully explored the depth of the fated mates trope in Strength Enduring. Due to the circumstances of Kameron and Dhani's mating, these two relied on the initial stages of their bond and the pull that bond produces more than other Talon (and even Redwood) couples. The fated mates aspect of paranormal romances usually means a more erotic and intense sexual chemistry; this book was in no way tame. Strength Enduring capitalized on the carnal opportunities of fated mates in all sorts of good ways :)
