Aboard the Felidae warship, The Shahnaz and Himalay - Present Day

Usama is the youngest Gatti brother, and as a member of the ruling Leo clan, he would normally be expected to be a fierce fighter like his brothers. But Usama was born with two impediments, he is smaller than normal, and he’s white. Picture a white lion trying to blend in while stalking prey and you’ll soon be able to understand the problem with his coloring. He knows he’ll never be a fierce fighter like his brothers are and they do as well, so they’ve always protected him. But now there’s someone else who wants to protect and cherish Usama, Rajiv, a Tigris who belongs to the Gatti clan.

Rajiv Citrakaya has found his mate, Usama, and although he’d like to give the younger man more time to accept the idea, the pheromones in the air of the Shahnaz are just too hard to resist. When Usama hovers outside of his cabin one day, Rajiv decides that enough is enough, and it’s time he claimed Usama as his.

When an unexpected hail comes from Himalay (Rajiv’s home world), the Shahnaz wastes no time in responding, after all, if the solitary Tigris people are asking for help the situation must be dire indeed. What effect will being among the Tigris people have on Usama and Rajiv’s budding relationship? What will Rajiv’s family think of his taking a Leo as mate? You’ll have to read to find out.

Every book in The Felidae series masterfully builds upon the last one. It’s finally time to learn more about Rajiv, the most mysterious of the Gatti pride, and the unique youngest member of the Gatti brothers, Usama. Together the two make an incredible couple, the love they share shows in the choices they each make, and the concern they both show for their loved ones feelings. Usama’s weaknesses aren’t looked down upon by Rajiv, he cherishes his ability to protect the man he loves, and when Usama sees himself through Rajiv’s eyes, his self-confidence rises. The sex in The Felidae series is always hot and spicy and USAMA’S JOURNEY is certainly no exception to the rule.

A development in the lives of Usama’s oldest brother, Laithe, and his mates, Rowan and Fahd’s, is revealed in this story. It’s a good thing, I promise. Asad (another Gatti brother) and his mate, Catan, are obviously settling into their relatively new relationship as well. Morgan and Lev (yet another Gatti brother) are involved in a relationship, but it looks as though trouble may be on their horizon. Look for Lev and Morgan’s story, LEV’S DISCOVERY, available now from Changeling Press.

If you haven’t read any of The Felidae series, I heartily recommend them. If you have read them, then I’m sure you’re as eager as I was to see how the relationship between Rajiv and Usama would progress, as well as find out how the rest of the pride is doing.
