BLURB:
The heat building between them is ready to erupt, threatening to shatter the wall around a soldier’s heart.
Former Green Beret, Zackary “Sin” Sinclair has a secret nipping at his heels. And he’ll do anything–go anywhere–to keep that info locked down tight. Including playing along with the news that he’s the father of his best friend’s little sister’s baby. But there’s no way in hell that’s possible since he hasn’t touched a woman in years. That, and his best friend has no idea Sin’s been hiding the fact he’s gay since they were teenagers.
KinKaid Wolf Pack Enforcer, Aydin Michaels is his cousin’s new pet project. If he doesn’t sober up and fall in line, he’ll be kissing his new career goodbye, and more than likely, packing up to head back east. The last thing he needs is a smokin’ hot human male with eyes that turn him inside out trying to play his hero.
When a bar fight goes wrong and Sin ends up bitten, Aydin is charged with tracking him down–before he shifts–and educating him about those in the world who aren’t quite human. Rule number one: in order to survive, shifters stick together. But convincing the hardheaded soldier on the run to stay put, preferably with him, is easier said than done. For Sin, putting down roots means paying a price. He either betrays a friend and risks losing the only family he’s ever known, or walk away from the man who’s claimed a piece of his soul.
REVIEW:
Stopping for a drink in a local dive bar seemed like a good idea at the time but that was before Zackary Sinclair found himself bitten while attempting to break up a fight. All he wants to do is clean himself up and get some sleep but instead has to deal with the man he tried to help while listening to some crazy story about shifters and how he’s going to become one too. When its proven that the man, Ayden, isn’t, in fact, crazy, Sin finds himself in a world he never knew existed and with a secret he’ll now have to keep. The only problem with that is being a shifter isn’t the only secret Sin is keeping, or running from, and with the instant attraction to Ayden complicating matters, he’s finding it harder and harder to leave but that just makes it worse because Sin knows he can’t stay.
I’ve read every book in this series save for one (too many girl parts mashed in with my boys in that one) and I’ve enjoyed them all, this latest offering being no exception. Like the first book, Sins of a Wolf deals with the aftermath of a human accidentally being bitten and what that means, not only for the individual, but for the shifters as a whole. I found Sin’s reactions pretty spot on with what he’d suddenly found himself saddled with and Ayden’s remorse and determination to do the right thing by the other man was believable, as well. There were also the deeper glimpses you get to see of each man, like when Ayden helps Sin deal with an instance of PTSD, that brought a much needed dimension to their characters. The attraction between them was fairly instantaneous but didn’t feel out of place and seemed to fit well with the overall story line while the sex scenes weren’t so numerous that I felt cheated in regards to the story itself.
The best part about this book, however, was that even if you haven’t read any of the other books in the series you won’t have any problems understanding or enjoying this one. I’d recommend reading at least the first two books, however, as they were really good and you’d get a little more out of reading this one as a result but again, it isn’t necessary. This was an easy, sexy read with a bit of drama to keep the story from coming off as one dimensional and I had a good time reading it. If you enjoy shifter books you’ll probably enjoy this one and I recommend giving it a try, especially if you haven’t read this author before.
