Book Blurb

After a long night at work, all pastry chef Declan Morgan wants to do is have a run before he heads home to bed.

Liam Anderson has never minded all the travel that comes with his position as a Beta to the Pennaeth Alpha. He's used the time to search far and wide for his mate. He never expected to find the man naked and scared on his back porch.

Liam's overjoyed at finally finding the one man fated for him, now if only he can get Declan to open up and trust him with the secrets he carries.

Book Review

After having briefly encountered Liam, one of the pack members of the Atherton pack starring in this new series, in the Holland Brothers books, I was curious about his story. With an interesting special talent and a clear need to find his mate, Liam had me rooting for him from the very beginning. Add the fact he is partnered with a werewolf pastry chef, and I definitely had to read this book. And it definitely did not disappoint: a great combination of an emotional love story and a tale of courage and hope, it had my attention from beginning to end.

The story starts with Declan, as he witnesses something he shouldn’t and ends up running for his life when it becomes clear the alpha will want to kill him. Luckily, he finds Atherton and sniffs out, so to speak, his mate’s house. The idea of him ending up naked (just after shifting back to being human) on Liam’s doorstep is funny, but the reason why he’s had to run is not amusing at all. Not surprisingly it takes him a while to open up, and when he does, everyone wants to help. No wonder, his old alpha is a criminal and a murderer, and Declan’s brother still lives under his rule.

Liam can’t wait to claim Declan, but he knows he has to be patient. While he has no idea about the kind and extent of drama his mate has been through, it is clear to him that it’s serious. Once Declan opens up, Liam is determined to help him fix the problem by getting rid of the murderous alpha and saving Declan’s younger brother from the evil man’s clutches. Liam is certain what he will and will not do, and I really admired that about him.

If you like werewolf stories and pack politics, if you enjoy reading about men who know and accept they are mates from the moment they meet, and if you’re looking for a tense story with lots of “hot moments”, then you will probably like this novella.
