Book Blurb

Declan Adair and his twin brother Lachlan are wolf shifters with no home or pack and a dark past that makes them hated by other weres. Hunted and forced to separate, Declan finds himself chased north and straight into Flathead, a large sprawling territory that is home to a single massive pack.

Unsure and more afraid than he wants to admit, Declan’s situation is only made worse by his undeniable attraction to the Flathead pack’s alpha, Law.

Law is everything an alpha should be: powerful, controlled, and surprisingly enough to Declan—kind. And when Law seems to want Declan just as much as Declan wants Law, it’s unbelievable. With a past full of hurt and the knowledge that the only one he can trust is his twin, Declan is torn between the way he knows the world works and the possibility that the alpha’s ardor might just be real.

 

Book Review

If you have ever wondered what it's like to be despised and even hunted and killed for something your family was forced into doing, then reading this story will give you a good idea. Declan and his twin brother are totally on their own, always in danger and on the run, and cannot trust anyone. They've managed to stay safe, but even when they're finally offered sanctuary they don’t dare to believe it's true. Their ability to trust is completely gone, and it takes a lot to get it back. I found their situation and emotions that go with it utterly heartbreaking, and was glued to the pages to find out how it would all end.

Declan is on the run, which is, unfortunately, pretty much the content of his life. Except this time he gets caught, by a very powerful alpha no less, and he thinks it's all over. Curious to find out what the alpha will do, and unable to escape, he bides his time. He overlooks all the little signs of Law's true intentions that I easily picked up, but it's clear that he refuses to see them – for his own protection. When it finally does dawn on him that Law is serious, he still has no idea what to do – but hope is back in his life.

Law is the perfect alpha: strong, compassionate, and understanding. He treats Declan the way he deserves to be treated, and it takes him a while to figure out why Declan doesn't seem to get it. His patience seems endless, and I loved him for his determination and kindness. He wants Declan desperately, yet he moves slowly enough for Declan not to get even more scared than he already is. His feelings, his ardor, for Declan are deep and I was impressed with the way he controls himself.

If you like wolf shifter stories with deep, dark, and mysterious secrets hovering over everyone and promising a great overarching story for a new series, if you enjoy reading about powerful men who treat people right, and if you're looking for a hot, sweet read with lots of emotional entanglements and some very hot between the sheets action, then you will probably like this novella. I definitely look forward to the next volume!
