Book Blurb

Can men who each bridge two worlds make a life together?

Blaze Canis is doing what he loves best. As a shooting range instructor just outside Yellowstone National Park, the former Navy SEAL sniper is still handling firearms. When Shoshoni native Logan Rider walks into his class one morning, the attraction each man feels for the other is sudden, almost mystical. Since Blaze’s teammates never knew he was gay, let alone a werewolf, he’s confident in hiding his wolf nature from Logan, too.

But will keeping his secret work, or will it blow up in Blaze’s face as his relationship with the American native deepens?

 

Book Review

I enjoy finding new authors, to me, and hearing their voices and seeing the worlds they create. When it's a shifter story then I'm really in happy, happy, joy, joy land so I was excited when I cracked open 'Awaking the Alpha' by Carolina Valdez. The description of Blaze and Logan sounded intriguing but I guessed there was going to be more to the story than what it said.

Blaze is a retired Navy SEAL sniper who came home to his birthplace to teach as a weapons instructor. He is also a wolf shifter who has spent so many years as a human and suppressing his need to shift, even during the full moon, that he wonders now whether coming home was the best decision. Logan is a Shoshone who has come back to Yellowstone to spend time with his grandfather. Raised primarily in the white world, Logan is comfortable there, but his grandfather taught him what it means to be Native American, and he respects the traditions.

As Blaze and Logan begin to explore the fierce attraction they have, something else begins to hunt them. When the final confrontation happens, Blaze has no idea how Logan is going to react to his dual nature, all Blaze knows is that he'll do whatever it takes to protect the man he's fallen in love with.

Logan is shocked and horrified thinking Blaze is an evil witch, a skinwalker of Native American lore, and Logan leaves Blaze's home where he's been staying to spend some days with his grandfather. But Logan can't just leave this relationship without sitting down and discussing what has happened with Blaze.

This was a good book, and I would have loved a little more background on the shifter lore. I did enjoy the Native American interactions and the romance was very sweet.
