Book Blurb

Aaron and Tony’s relationship is going strong after almost a year, except for once a month when Tony has to return home to check on his uncle. Aaron feels slighted because he’s never included, so he decides to take matters into his own hands and follow Tony.

Tony Lykes can’t tell the love of his life that he’s descended from a long line of werewolves. But when Aaron shows up in the middle of a werewolf battle, he’s sentenced to death in an effort to keep the werewolf pack a secret.

Now Tony, who is an enforcer of his pack, has to make the decision of upholding the werewolf law or defying protocol and customs to turn his very human mate.

 

Book Review

“Curiosity killed the cat” may be a well-known saying, but in this story’s case, it is actually the human who ends up in mortal danger. It just goes to show that sometimes, following where curiosity leads you is not the wisest choice. However, in this case, I definitely think it was an interesting one, and I cannot blame Aaron for doing what he did. As it turns out, the events that follow his impulsive decision to follow his boyfriend Tony to his mysterious family meetings end up becoming a nice variation of a werewolf story. Here the focus is not on the werewolf, but on the man discovering that these beings of myth and Hollywood drama are actually real.

Aaron feels pretty secure in his relationship with Tony. They have known each other for a year and a half, have lived together for the last year, and he thinks he knows Tony well enough to go on The Honeymoon Game and they’d win because he knew Tony that well. Ahem. Think again. His shock when he finds out Tony is a werewolf is deep, but he deals amazingly well with the entire situation. I guess there are some advantages to all the supernatural movies Hollywood has been producing… Except this pack has some very peculiar laws, and Aaron is given a choice I do not envy him at all.

Tony is in a difficult situation. He knows Aaron is his mate, but he wants to give the man time to get used to the idea that Tony is a werewolf, and to the consequences of Aaron being with him. Not that he has ever mentioned a single word of this to Aaron. I know it isn’t easy to tell your lover about a secret that may make him run for the hills, but, as we can see here, the consequences of not telling him can be far worse. Tony’s choice is a little easier, and he would have had to make it eventually— once he told Aaron the truth—anyway, but still.

If you like werewolf stories about the human men who find themselves loving a werewolf without knowing it, if tough choices for characters are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is entertaining, hot, and includes a few surprises, then you will probably like this short story.
