Get Conditional Probability Of Attraction (Outlier Prophecies #2) Expressed By Tina Gower Issued As Version

really enjoy this series and will definitely be picking up book, I'm disappointed in the way the author is stretching out the relationship between Ian and Kate I'd kind of prefer to see her cut bait and move on, rather than string out the readers, it's frustrating how much time is spent on the advance and retreat dance between these two characters.
The base plot is unique and fun, I'm amazed at the twists Gower comes up with for her story line.
I'll try one more, in hopes the characters will develop as well as the plot, I received a free copy of this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.


Kate and Becker are back!

After the case that first threw the two of them together Kate had no choice but to keep her head down.
Thanks to that last case shes on

probation and even the case that her boss hands her to find out whats going on with a Love Predictions company makes it seem like things are just going from bad to worse.
Instead of receiving the names of their possible true loves customers are finding themselves paired with the recently dead.
Sure that theres a case here that she can crack without Beckers hot headed help Kate decides to prove to her client and her boss that she can do more than just stop a reoccurrence of the problem.
Trouble seems to follow Kate though, especially where Ian Becker is involved, Agreeing to become his temporary pack mate is a bigger problem than she anticipated, Despite attempts to keep the arrangement under wraps it looks as though someone is following the scent of it right to her door.


Impatient as I am I was incredibly glad to be able to read the second book so soon after I read the first.
After the introduction to the Outlier Prophecies world in book one I was eager for a return visit, to see just how things were going to develop between Kate and Becker and to find out where the over arcing plot was headed.
Just like with the first book I found myself immediately drawn in, It was a wrench to have to put this one down and stop reading when I had to and I can see myself making a return visit to both this and the first book before the third in the series is released.
Gower has created an intriguing world in the Outlier Prophecies and incredibly appealing characters in the form of Kate and Becker.
I always know Im on to a fantastic series when I feel that amount of anticipation over a book, over finding where the characters and plot will go.


Book one of this series did a fantastic job of establishing both Kate and Beckers characters and this second book built strongly on that foundation.
More is revealed about Beckers past, about the history of werewolves in this world, Learning the facts at Kates pace provides it all at just the right speed, giving glimpses of the mythology without piling it all on at once.
Although most of the mythology in this book concentrates on the wolves, other creatures are revealed too in the support characters, showing just how diverse this world is.
Along with the revelations about the wolves and how packs work we learn more about Kate and Becker themselves.
Things are building between them, the attraction that was established between them growing slowly, at a pace that totally works for the series, and this reader.
More so than in the first book, and for perfectly good reasons that are revealed in the plot, Becker is protective of his new pack mate.
Kates determined streak is still there and in combination with Beckers bull headedness it makes for a great relationship dynamic.


Some of the supporting characters return in this book in particular Kates ever entertaining witch cousin Ali.
This time shes joined by Beckers partner Lipski, offering a glimpse of another of the species who have interbred with humans and a closer glimpse at Beckers life.
Together they add a lot of humour to the book and the sort of well written background that fills you in on the main characters without pages and pages of unnecessary exposition.
Like with the characters and the world history the bigger plot for the series is being revealed at just the right pace little hints of it are wrapped around the plot for this book.
Having finished Conditional Probability of Attraction I cant wait for the third book and another dose of Kate and Becker.


If brilliantly crafted urban fantasy worlds and engaging, likeable characters are your thing, then Tina Gower is your writer.
Long live Kate Hale and Ian Becker! The course of true love doesnt run smoothly when your predicted soul mate is already dead.


Kate Hale isnt excited to end her first month as an investigative actuary in Accidental Death Predications on probation.
So, when her boss farms her out as a consultant to a private Love Predictions company to “give her a break,” Kate fears that her days at her dream job are numbered.


But the new case offers an interesting puzzle, Hundreds of customers hoping for the names of their true loves have been mistakenly paired with the recently deceased.
Its Kates chance to prove she can solve the unsolvable, but her client is more interested in preventing the problem from reoccurring than uncovering the mystery.


At least her new case doesnt require Ian Beckers assistance, Shes not interested in his type of rogue investigative work and the trouble it brings, When he's not breaking and entering or ignoring procedure, he insists on discussing their unresolved private matter after she volunteered to be his temporary pack mate.


Except Becker manages to bring the trouble right to her doorstep anyway,


Books in the Outlier Prophecies Series:
Romancing the Null Book One
Conditional Probability of Attraction Book Two
The Relationship Coefficient Book Three Coming Soon in MayI received this book in exchange for an honest review.


After reading the first book in two days, I managed to finish this in one day.
Conditional Probability of Attraction gives us more of what book one only teased at: Kate and Ians possible relationship and what a tease it was! Kate Hale is throwing herself into work to be the best actuary in Accidental Deaths she can, while Ian Becker is the police liaison for the department.
During the day, its business as usual, but at night Kate still tries to help Ian cope without a werewolf pack.
This means Kate and Ian tend to snuggle at nightpart of the many teasing elements in the storyand Kate frequently wakes up with an adorable sleeping werewolf clinging to her.
But Kate thinks of herself as a substitute to Ianjust a means of coping and regulating his emotionsso she tries to ignore her attraction to him.
But when Kates life is threatened, Ian is determined to keep her safe without revealing the inner workings of their relationship to coworkers or Kates cousin Ali, who lives next door to Kate and can hear the snoring werewolf.


What I Liked About This Book Compared to the First One:
, I was really glad to see more focus on Ian and Kate in this one, even if the romantic tension absolutely killed me.

. The addition of the character Officer Lipski Ians partner was a great addin, Hes very similar to Ali in the fact that he tells everything like it is and sees through Kate and Ians charade.
He calls them out and tells them what I want to tell them myself most of the time.

. I deeply appreciated seeing the contrast between Ian and Kate when theyre dealing with people on the job.
Particularly towards the end. Kate tries to take things slowly and figure things out whereas Ian is more hotheaded,

What I Didnt Like About This Book Compared to the First One:
, I was hoping for more of a continuation on the issues Kate and Ian discovered in the Jack Roberts case in the last book.
While this was noted a few times, it seemed to be a relatively minor element in this one.
Im hoping for more of a continuation of that in the next one,
. I hoped they would visit Jack Roberts at least once in the book instead of just mentioning him.
I missed him in the story and wanted to see how his life was going, even though he was spending his time in the hospital.
Hope to read more about him in the next installment,

Overall:
I reacted so intensely to these charactersa clear sign of a wellwritten book, I rooted for Ian and Kate, and I wanted to punch them both when they made decisions I didnt agree with.
Their story keeps me wanting to read more and I cant wait to tear open the next bookwhich is what is about to happen right after I finish this review! I give Conditional Probability of Attractionout ofstars.
