BLURB:

There’s nothing like a fresh start, and for Randy, still nursing wounds left by a cheating ex and harboring a deep mistrust for all things corporate, Wolf, Wyoming seems like the perfect place to start over. Secluded, quiet, and self-sufficient, Wolf is bound to not only inspire, but to bring Randy the peace he needs. The view’s not bad, either.

Vaughn O’Connell and his family are Randy’s only neighbors for miles, and while Randy knows it’s somewhat unlikely that a man with three kids is gay, it doesn’t hurt to look. When a misunderstanding brings Randy face to face with both Vaughn and his eighteen year old son, Lyle, Randy’s not sure what to feel about either of them.

But things are not what they appear in Wolf, and the closer Randy gets, the stranger the O’Connell family seems…

REVIEW:

“He’s got me. I’d say about as bad as Jackie got me back in her day. The smell of him, the taste of him, the whole fucking lot of him.”

I haven’t said it in a few months so I’m just going to get it out of the way…I FRIGGIN LOVE A.F. Henley BOOKS!!! LOVE!!! There is something about this author that just sucks me right in and never lets me go. It’s happened from the very first A.F. Henley book I read and it hasn’t changed.  This story has incredible passion. Passion for one’s family, passion for tradition, and romantic passion there was so many aspects of this story that I truly loved. I thought the paranormal aspect was very unique. I love the idea of a paranormal government that protects humans and the supernatural. I really liked how the whole “gay” thing was never really an issue. It just sort of was and I kind of liked that there was no overabundance of angst over sexuality. Everything was just so well done. Loved it!

Randy is a former lawyer tired of the grind of crazy city life he moves to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere to mend his broken heart and start over. Even though he’s not use to the quiet, the weather, or the peace he’s enjoying it. He also has no complaints about the eye candy that lives close by.

Vaughn O’Connell lives with his 3 children in the small town of Wolf, WY. He’s content and not at all prepared for the feelings his new neighbor ignites in him. And try as he might, he finds himself drawn to him.

I don’t want to give too much away but there is a very unique subplot in this story. I’ve never read an alpha/dominance struggle quite like this and I was mesmerized. I didn’t know how this was ever going to play out while maintain strong healthy relationships. It was the perfect addition to an already amazing story.

Vaughn and Randy have this crazy tension that’s so thick it’s almost tangible. They fight hard and often. They deny their feelings at every turn, but you can’t stop reading because you know what’s building. You know what’s coming and you can’t wait for it.  AHHHHHH…this book is sooooooo friggin GOOD!!! You have to get it…have to!!!! Oh, and have I mentioned how much I LOVE this author?????
