Blurb
Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He's a cop and is willing to use police resources to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking crying wolf a couple of times when he's reported her missing. Little does she know she'll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real.
She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate - the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm's length, but there's just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she's his mate.
Review
Grace Shaw
is 20 years old and she’s on the run from her abusive, manipulative
ex-boyfriend, Sam. He’s a cop and swooped into her life right after her parents
died. She thought she’d be safe with him and he became her whole world.
I really
liked Grace in the beginning. She’s determined to survive and spent months on
the run, always outwitting Sam, but she’s finally had enough and decided to make
a stand in Wolf’s Point. She found a waitressing job at a local bar and her
attraction to the owner, Hunter Tate, is earth-shattering. Hunter feels the
same way and instantly knows she’s his mate. He’s a wolf shifter, the alpha of
his pack, and brings her into his world.
Though
their relationship progressed quickly, the love felt a little forced. She tried
to keep her distance, wary to trust another man, but a little incident (which
is never explained to her) completely changes her mind. She lets Hunter take
control just as she let Sam but at least Hunter would never hurt her.
The climax
with the bad guy happened at around 60ish percent of the ebook and Hunter explained
how the wolf pack worked for the rest of the book. There’s a big unanswered question
left by the end: will she be turned into a werewolf? You’re led to believe that
Grace will stay human and die after a normal human lifetime (though she won’t
age) and Hunter will live for about another hundred years after she dies. Is
this for real or did I miss something?
The side
characters were interesting. Hunter’s brothers, Spencer and Parker, will later
have their stories. I really like Parker but I’m not crazy about Spencer after the insensitive
way he treated his mate for the past year.
The novella
is written in 1st POV. There were a few typos but nothing too major
that took me out of the story.
