Book Blurb

Helping people is what Denny Patton does. Most of the time, it’s through his duties as a cop in San Francisco, but every once in a while, he steps in and aids his brother in an underground battle for those without any rights under the law—werewolves. Their latest mission is to rescue a group of wolves held captive and forced to do the unspeakable. The task will put Denny’s career at risk, but in his heart, he believes it’s the right thing to do.

Especially when one of the wolves turns out to be Elijah Garber, the man who disappeared from Denny’s life seven years ago.

Elijah and Denny were high school sweethearts until Elijah disappeared from the Bay Area the summer after they graduated. The note he left behind told Denny and his family to move on without him, but Denny has never forgotten his first love. Now, he wants answers as to why Elijah left all those years earlier. But more importantly, he wants the future they were always meant to have...

 

Book Review

I'm a sucker for a modern day Robin Hood and that's exactly who Denny and his brother Corey are. Denny is a cop and Corey is an attorney for the city of San Francisco. But they also rescue and save individuals being extorted or sold as slaves, and in the world the author created, the majority of these people are werewolves. For the laws do not protect these weres, but Corey and Denny consider them human and the treatment they receive to be unconscionable. This is the story of 'Boundless' by Vivien Dean.

Denny and Corey believe werewolves deserve the same rights and protections under the law that humans do, but unfortunately changing the public view is very slow going. Until that time, Corey and Denny work on rescuing any wolves who are being held by humans and used for fighting, for sex, or just about whatever anyone can imagine. Denny is shocked when he finds Elijah, his ex-boyfriend, whom he hasn't seen in seven years, in a cage badly abused. It answers the question of why Elijah disappeared all those years ago. He'd obviously been turned and was too afraid to tell Denny about it.

This was a really sweet short story and I enjoyed it. I would have loved it being longer, but I'll hope for more in this interesting world the author built. If you like a fairly quick read with characters you can fall in love with, a story you can believe in, and a love story that's lasted through thick and thin, then this might just be the book for you.
