Book Blurb

Jesse Adams is pregnant, alone, and on the run. Weird since he’s a human male. His lover, the man he trusted, is a werewolf, and he attacked and killed two men in front of him, throwing Jesse into hiding.

 

Frank killed those hunters because they were going to kill him and his mate. Waiting to tell the love of his life he is a werewolf was his biggest mistake. Jesse saw him and fled in fear. Now, if Frank can't find him before the hunters do, Jesse will die. He needs to explain, to protect his lover before anything worse can happen.

 

What Frank does not expect is to find his mate heavily pregnant in the middle of nowhere. Thank God he found him, too. A pregnant male will die without his mate to help with the birth, but with the hunters still out there, Jesse might not make it to the birth of their child at all.

 

Book Review

The luna werewolves are back, and what a story this one proved to be! The title had me perk up because I love mpreg, the blurb promised two new characters who might join Dakota’s pack, and with the hunters still around there was bound to be lots of excitement. With Jesse already on the run when the book starts, and Frank in hot and desperate pursuit, the suspense started early. I was glad to see that the characters from the first couple of books were still around and ready to help – these two guys needed all the help they could get.

Jesse is in deep trouble from page one after a traumatic experience that scared him into running from the man he was falling in love with, and now he seems to be pregnant. He tries to ignore that fact, but his growing belly and the occasional kicking against his stomach – from the inside – really don’t leave much room for doubt. But after he saw Frank turn into some sort of monster and tear apart two humans, Jesse is not willing to risk letting the man come near him again.

Frank is desperate to find Jesse. The man is his mate, and he never told him because he was afraid Jesse would run. Because he never revealed what he is, then had to defend them both from the hunters out to kill them, all Jesse saw was a monster and he ran. It is killing Frank. When he finally catches up with Jesse, he is too exhausted to resist help, and Frank manages to at least talk to him. Accepting help from Dakota is more difficult, as Frank’s alphaness gets in the way, but he has no choice.

It was great to see Jesse and Frank reconnect. Once Frank explains and they begin to acknowledge the mate bond, things look up for both of them. Except right when it all seems to be okay, and they are getting ready for the baby’s birth, disaster strikes and I held my breath as Frank races to save Jesse and their baby. What a roller coaster!
 
If you like stories where men carry the burdens of pregnancy just as much as women, if you want to see how not telling the truth can almost destroy a relationship, and if you’re looking for a read that is as suspenseful as it is heartwarming – and hot! – then you will probably like this novella.
