Synopsis
As
heir to an old and proud heritage, Aurbrey Reynolds works and lives for his
family, his employees and his pack. Agreeing to watch after a visiting werewolf
is no big deal—until he discovers the newcomer is his mate. His very male
mate...which is a very big deal, indeed. Revealing his sexuality was never part
of Aubrey’s well-ordered life plan.
Much
as he loved caring for his eight younger brothers, Matt Mahihkan knows it’s
time to grab the opportunity to attend college in Atlanta. Realizing Aubery is
his mate should have been a delightful experience...except Aubery treats him
more like a dirty little secret than a lover. Yet Matt is a patient man. Aubery
can’t stay in the closet forever. Can he?
In
time, they settle into a comfortable, if complicated, routine. Until a rouge
werewolf with an axe to grind forces Aubery to add to the wedge of secrets
driving him and Matt apart, leaving Matt exposed to danger...and Aubrey forced
to choose between love and duty.

Thoughts
Well......
It’s
sucks to say this, but it’s the only things that’s running through my mind at
the moment, book 2 was better, and for some reason I can’t wait for Bambi’s
story though it’s a little bit obvious in what’s going to happen, I just want
to watch it play out.
This
book was...nothing....there is absolutely nothing to talk about it. The story
line ran more on what then getting together there wasn’t really that big an efficient
on the ‘hidden’ part for the relationship until Aubery opens his mouth. It’s
all about playfulness and sex. Even the time line was a little fucked, since I’m
not really sure how much time was meant to have past in threw this book, a
week, a month? What?
But
that doesn’t really matter.
I
liked the story; it seemed to be about fun and laughter, with secrets that hurt
when they came out. It was also about another wolf and his mate, though I
think.... well, let’s leave that or I’ll ruin the whole thing for you.
The
twist was okay, though I saw it coming, especially after the beans were spilled,
and even with that it was a little flat most because she didn’t take us threw
more time between the two characters in that point. I think if there was more
time between the two it would have come across as what it should have been, as
it lay, well...I didn’t really get
it. What was the point?
It
was written well, but it felt more like a book written because she didn’t
really know what was to come and I’m hoping that the next book, while bring it
back into the pack of book 2 will be much more...because of the hints that were
laid at our feet in this one.
All
in all, I’m not disappointed that I read it, nor do I wish to have spent my
time doing anything else, the book was fun, light and had my noise dug deep
between the pages until the very end, but looking back, thinking about the what’s
and why’s, a review in form, there wasn’t anything in this book, but two men
falling in love. And unfortunately that wasn’t done in the finest form as the
first two in this series; she seemed to hold too much to the ‘mate’ thing and
less of them as people.
