BLURB:
Brodie McRae is content. As a lone wolf and a sometimes Dom, he’s surrounded himself with good friends and made a life for himself on the opposite side of the country from where he spent his youth. But when he gets word that there’s problems in his old pack, he flies back to Pennsylvania to confront his uncle, the current alpha. In one heated moment in defense of a young woman, Brodie’s life is irrevocably changed. Now he’s the alpha of a splintered pack, and it’s his responsibility to make his former home safe and beautiful again.
For two years, Kynan Rossi has been searching for his lost sister. He’s given up everything to find her and will not stop until he does. When Kye gets the call he’s been desperately hoping for, he drops everything to go to a small town to be with her. The last thing he expects is to find a gorgeous Alpha starting anew.
The instant they meet, Brodie knows that Kye is his mate. Except the timing couldn’t be worse. He’s rebuilding a pack from scratch, his childhood home needs serious renovations, and his cousins need help getting sober before they can rejoin the pack. But Kye is everything Brodie didn’t know he wanted and the attraction between them won’t be denied. As Kye steps up, learning about wolf culture and helping to make the house a home, Brodie is determined to keep Kye forever.
Slowly and surely, everything comes together. Kye and Brodie’s mating is the easy next step. As their love grows, so does their pack. But outside forces threaten the safety they’ve built. Brodie has reclaimed his home, and with Kye by his side, nothing will stop the McRae pack from flourishing.
REVIEW:
Brodie never went looking to be the alpha of his pack, but here he is, doing his best. His pack is small but he’s not unhappy about getting a chance to provide a home for some people who need it. The fact that his new-found mate is one of those people is confusing and exciting all at once.
Kye never stopped looking for his sister and now he found her and a home too. And an alpha that he can’t stop looking at or thinking about.
I enjoyed this story very much. It is a surprisingly low angst story about found family and learning to live together. Kye and his sister Carys are characters who could have been portrayed as needing to be saved and while they do get some help, they are strong all on their own, especially together.
I loved Brodie a lot. He is a good and kind man who takes a kind of crazy situation and does his best with it and his best is pretty damn good. I enjoyed that the author didn’t really have him balking at the demands of running a pack and instead just showed how he learned as he went along, determined to do the best for people who have been let down by life a lot.
I’m really interest in seeing where this series is going to go and who else will come along to join the McRae pack. I’m really curious about Rian, Brodie’s best friend and the deputy that befriends the pack. I think there’s the potential for a really great story there.
The storyline wasn’t a surprise but I have fun going along on this journey with these very likable and endearing characters. They are all looking for better lives and I think this author definitely has the writing chops to grow this series into something that I suspect I will be chomping at the bit for the next story to come along.
Great writing, good world building and characters that you will learn to love. Everything you need for a wonderful story!
