Remington

'Remington' is Kathi S. Barton's fifth book in her "Queen's Birds of Prey" series and I have to admit, it's probably one of my favorites that she's written. If you've been following along, then you'll be excited to know that this one picks up exactly where book four, Piper, left off. If you haven't and your reading this review to see if you'd be interested, there are a few things you need to know first. Although each of these books can be read independently of one another, to get the full impact I would recommend reading them in order as each one builds on the previous story. This is Remington, the Queen's Vulture and my favorite of all the birds of prey, and Harlin's story. As much as each of the birds was loyal and loved the Queen, Remington's love went beyond that of friend and loyal subject. She loved her Queen like a daughter loves her mother. As the saying goes, her heart was as big as she was. Harlin was given a small amount of magic from Grant, Piper's mate when they were in college together and Harlin almost died. He assumed that's why he became so good at his job as an FBI agent. Of course, if you know anything about Ms. Barton's writing, then you know the chemistry is instantaneous when one of her characters finds their mate and that's what happened when Remington and Harlin meet. Truly an explosion that rocked the house and shattered windows! Naturally, there are also villains and drama that need to be dealt with along with the members of the family and catching up with any new exploits. You won't believe how this one takes and turn and what these two are ultimately blessed with. Absolutely sigh-worthy.
