Dillon Rafferty has a good thing going with his writing. He makes enough to be his own boss, and he takes orders from no one but his readers. Lately, however, he's been in need of some inspiration, so he goes to his family’s isolated cabin near Willow Lake where he can get some alone time and some work done.
He never thought he would meet Rowan, a gorgeous man, who is not only a fan of Dillon's work, but has him so enthralled that he's willing to give up his valuable writing time just for the chance of being with the other man.
But Rowan is an ancient werewolf with incredible powers, and there are hunters who are out to get him, his brothers, and anyone Rowan might have an interest in. That includes Dillon, now, and when Dillon’s ex, a werewolf hunter, shows up and realizes what Rowan is, that only spells immediate trouble for both of them.
In the second book of the 'Wolves of Willow Lake', it is Rowan's turn to find his mate. Unlike his brother Edward in the first book, he has never had a mate, so it's all new to him. And that includes the ferocity of today's hunters and their determination to extinguish all werewolves – and their mates. The werewolf gods' background takes a bit of a backseat in this volume, as do their special abilities, and I really hope both of those come back in the next few books!
Dillon is a writer of romance novels, he loves his solitude, and he could not be less aware of anything paranormal happening around him if he tried. His self-confidence has taken a beating, and I suspect much of that has to do with his a**hole of an ex. So when Dillon meets Rowan, who is gorgeous, he cannot believe his luck. Uncharacteristically quick to trust the man, it only takes a little while for Dillon to find himself in deep sh*t, and Rowan explaining all kinds of things to him that he'd rather not have known. And when it comes down to a choice between Rowan and Dillon's family, Dillon needs to make up his mind in a way he never expected.
Rowan, for a centuries old, supposedly very powerful werewolf god, is surprisingly naïve and unable to take care of himself, never mind Dillon. His "incredible powers" never really show, but I guess the story is more suspenseful this way. Maybe he just needs to get used to this day and age and that could take a while with everything being so different. Rowan does manage to keep himself and his mate Dillon alive, albeit with a few close calls, and the love and dedication he feels toward Dillon were a joy to witness, as was the heat between the two men when they hit the sheets.
If you like stories about men who were made for each other, if you enjoy seeing them fight for their lives and (eventually) come out on top, and if you want to know more about the second of the four mysterious werewolf brothers of Willow Lake, then you will probably enjoy this novella.
