BLURB: For years, Jackson Murphy and Jonas Brooks have been dancing around each other in a waltz of uncertainty and longing. One unexpected kiss meant to comfort rattles the two alphas, but neither is willing to make the first move. Now, their meddling packs are conniving to force the two alphas to see what they truly share — a bond of love. A reconnaissance mission to Siberia brings more confusion as Jonas’ deepest secret is revealed, and a startling revelation threatens to destroy their relationship before it even starts.
John Quinton has been without a wife for more than twenty years, still grieving her sudden death. An assignment to Siberia to find a missing alpha plants him squarely in the path of one of the most feared feral female werewolves in the Siberian enclosure. But things aren’t always as they seem. Just as John dares to care again, his hopes and dreams are smashed.
By a simple bond.
REVIEW:
If you have stuck with this series to the point where you are reading book 20 and actually remembering half the characters in this crazy, fabulously addicting series, you’re doing pretty good. Each installment introduces more and more cast members, and while it is sometimes difficult to remember who is who, or who belongs to which pack, etc., it never feels wrong. This is, for the most part, one big, giant happy family. And for those suffering problems of memory loss, there is this fabulous site to help you out: https://sites.google.com/site/assassinshiftertree/.
This particular story is about the older alphas, Jackson and Jonas, both straight up until this point. They both have withheld from relationships for many years, but now feel a strong attraction to each other. Unfortunately, or fortunately for them, it takes a little pushing from their kids to get them to act upon it. Them each going to their kids for gay sex advice was priceless. Needless to say, they figure things out and everything seems to be working itself out. Then, they are sent to Siberia.
Meanwhile, in Siberia, John Quinton has been working on an assignment when he meets feral wolf, Anya. They work through some trust issues, as Anya, up to this point, believes all men are evil, and John hasn’t been with anyone since his wife died. They really seem perfect for each other, and both realize this to be the case.
Then, Jackson and Jonas show up, there are some visits from the fates, some bad decisions and broken hearts before everyone goes their separate ways and tries to make the best of things. Thankfully, they come to their senses, fates be damned, and the story moves on to the other and newer characters. I’m still extremely intrigued by Killian and also Jonas and Jackson’s newest tenant. Bring on the next installment!
