BLURB:
Tyler Calvano knew his ex-wife’s boyfriend was bad news from the way the little hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, from a smell of danger, from an animal instinct his ex had once appreciated. He wished she’d listened to him. Custody exchanges were hard enough on Jesse, now Ty had to wonder—did Jesse have enough wolf bursting inside him yet to have heard his mother’s pleas as she was gunned down? He couldn’t trust the police to protect them. He took Jesse and he fled across the continent, as far as he could go.
Ty and Jesse became Tanner and Jason—different names, different lives. The nightmares still woke Jesse. Ty kept looking over his shoulder. The only spot of light was a man at the daycare, Kelan, a shifter like Ty—a wolf in human guise, ready to change, ready to protect. The daycare was safe. But another shifter was something Ty hadn’t counted on. With it came the complications of pack rivalries, of shifter brothers who tormented Kelan, of the unreasoned animal want that grew every time Ty caught scent of him.
And every day, the killers kept looking for them, the only people who might identify them. Ty couldn’t take risks. Ty couldn’t open his heart. Ty had to keep Jesse safe. Nothing else mattered.
REVIEW:
Well I thought I was going to have to go in this book and kick some booty. Don’t mess with the wolf pups! Lol! But little man was protected. I kept imagining him as a little cub and it pitter-pattered my heart. I loved Kelan and Ty but little Jesse has my heart from the get go. He’s so cute!
Ty went to pick up little Jesse for his time and ended up caught up in the middle of a mass murder. The killers were leaving behind no loose ends. Any witness was a dead witness. Ty got Jesse to safety in time but they’re on the run now. Ty heads across the country and finds a little place to settle. He gets a job and finds a little daycare place where the owners seem to be good caring people. Then he really gets a sniff of one of the owners, and realizes he’s like Ty. As Jesse and Ty get to know Kelen, they all realize they are each other’s answers to what they’ve been searching for. But Kelen’s present and Ty and Jesse’s past are coming together in a bad way. Hopefully they will survive to lead the life they want to lead together as a pack.
As I mentioned earlier, the characters in this book were great but none got to me more than Jesse. Such a little boy having to deal with such grown up things. Seeing his mother murdered is enough to send the little guy into therapy, but as more things are happening, the more Ty is noticing that Jesse is catching more than the normal kid would. So he has to tell Jesse what they really are. Of course, any little kid like that thinks that’s just the coolest ever lol. To me, though, Jesse made this book even better. Of course, Ty and Kelen were great. They just seemed like perfect mates right off the bat. But Jesse was such a dear sweet little boy. It made me want to pick him up and squishy him like everyone else was doing lol. Guess it’s just the mom in me.
This is a great book. I really enjoyed it. Great characters, great plot, and a little boy that makes your heart sing. Happy reading!
