I won’t tell you why because I really think everyone needs to read this story. It is how it should be but I cried big fat ugly tears when it was over. Even if she goes back and writes about a different family, it wouldn’t have the same magic this story has. I both loved and hated the ending. I want more from these characters and the world, but I know it can never be. I was surprised it dealt with the topic of rape more than once but it was different each time where you didn’t feel like you were reading the same scene again. The book is long but I never felt like it lagged or lost its purpose. The book deals with some pretty heavy topics in a way that is respectful and doesn’t magically get batter. I loved the tie in of the title and where it comes from within the story. Acquainted With The Night is such a beautiful love story where the love continues to grow as new members are added to the family with the core couple being the Alpha men in the relationship.

I should have considering Tymber Dalton’s book always leave me with a sense of being changed after reading her books. While it definitely is that, I didn’t expect the level of emotion from the book. When this book was recommended to me by a friend of mine, it was presented as a hot and sexy read. When the war ends and the Terran pets are granted their freedom, the men are faced with a choice: return, or stay with the owner they’ve grown to love? Despite tragedy striking too close to home in their protected world, they find room to love their Master’s newest pets, Cooper and Nate. Dale settles in and finds not only does he enjoy this life, he loves Mark, too.

Mark also hated the military and now spends his days in a life of sexual leisure, enjoying poetry and totally at peace with his fate. Then he meets fellow pet, Mark, who informs him getting captured was the luckiest day of their lives. He only prays his new owner is kind and doesn’t eat him.

He never expected to get captured by the Algonquans and sold as a breeder pet, either.
