Stripping His Armor

I enjoyed reading this entertaining MM shifter romance. The world-building is splendidly well-done. The plot is engaging & interesting with well-developed, likeable characters that are endearing & perfectly flawed with good chemistry between them. There is some good support from the secondary characters. The plot is well-written with some intrigue & realistic emotional struggles. There is: Two male shifters (a dolphin shifter & treasure hunter, Vince) & (a hawk shifter & photographer, Lachlan) have a past history with each other & having to work together is causing their attractions to flare again, various kinds of shifters, intrigue, suspense, secrets, adventure, action, twists & turns, legends, artifacts, unease, danger, threats, explosions, distrust, deceit, betrayal, complications, unexpected help, contentment, some steam & a wonderful satisfying conclusion.

First, let me say that I say that I will choose a Mia West book without reading the cover because I know I will enjoy it no matter what the story line is. Lachlan, Vince and Sten head to Lachlan's family home in search of Arthur's sword. It's there, they just know it. Lachlan is a brave man to head to his estranged father much less with 2 ex-lovers. The pull between Vince and Lachlan is strong and he craves Vince's discipline, but they butt heads too often to make it work, right? There are twists and turns in this tale of shifters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A lovely second chance romantic suspense read Vincent, a mission team lead, has a rocky past with Lachlan, a freelance photographer, and is dreading their next mission to find an iconic Arthurian artifact. As the story progresses their past bleeds into the present, not all obstacles are physical, and finding the artifact may not be the treasure they gain. Mia West’s Stripping His Armor is a lovely second chance romantic suspense read with loveable and not so loveable characters. I will definitely be picking up the rest of the series and looking into her other books that tie in.
