I think what sets this book apart is the mysterious elements. It was intriguing, especially because it has been a while since I read the last two books and I forgot some of the premise. This story was a little like a book by James Patterson with a sexy, paranormal twist.
Zeke was great in a very Tarzan kind of way. He was so endearingly sweet at the same time. I liked Neva from the start because she was so independent. She was not a pushover and did what she needed to do. She also didn't take crap from anyway, even from Zeke, which was great. She wasn't over the top either.
Overall it was a nice book. I think the second one is still my favorite. There were some sad aspects to the ending but I still enjoyed it. I hope Gray will return to some of the other characters in this story but I don't think she will.
Looking forward to see where the next book will go.

In the previous book, "The Foundation" was taken down (at least the one location) and those that had been kidnapped, imprisoned, and experimented were freed. Zeke was one of those individuals, held captive for several months. After his escape, he makes it home to his farm. He was always a bit of a loner. He also has new abilities he is unsure of. Having had an affinity for animals, he now has increased senses and an ability to communicate with animals. He has a tragic past (his mom committed suicide and he father drank himself to death). He finds himself in need of a job.
Neva is the local vet and is in need of a handyman. Zeke turns out to be the perfect fit. Neva also has a family history (she comes from money and her parents disagree with her job choice. Her twin brother is also missing). This is a nice story of 2 people who are a little lost and find what they need in the other. There is also a secondary story of a murderer targeting women that resemble Neva. I thought that the "why" was a bit blah and would have liked more (or had that story-line deleted). There isn't a lot of attention paid to Zeke's kidnapping/imprisonment; he didn't want to focus on it as it was in the past. I did think the phone call he got was creepy and out of left field (and not necessary).
