Book Blurb

Renoir Delacroix is a forensic photographer working for the Dallas County Police. He's well off the beaten track when he snaps a photo of something big and monstrous out in the woods. When it grabs him, he thinks he's a dead man until it changes into the most brutally handsome man he's ever seen, even with the burn scars.

 

Calvin, tries to explain himself while Renny is tied to a bed. Something about being mated and never wanting to hurt him? Not that Renny cares since his body is so hot and flustered that Renny is willing to overlook the strangeness of having amazing sex with a man he's just met—a man who can shift into a wolf.

 

What's not so amazing is the hunters who are after both of them, and when Calvin rushes off to rescue a friend, leaving Renny alone and vulnerable, he might not make it back before someone comes to take Renny's life.

 

Book Review

After the focus on Ash and Dakota in the first two books of the series, it is now Renny and Calvin’s turn. Forensic photographer Renoir (Renny in real life) has made a few far too revealing photos while providing evidence to the police and has been taken prisoner so luna werewolves Calvin and Dakota can decide what to do about him. Calvin knows Renny is his mate, but his recent disfigurement makes him hesitant. Meanwhile, the hunters are still trying to catch and kill everyone not human, and this story is full of their attacks, making it rather suspenseful.
 
Renny has been abducted, tied to a bed, and yet he feels attracted to the huge man who also turns into a monster. Anyone would be confused by that, so I can’t blame him for wanting to run. Unfortunately he gets caught by the hunters, Calvin has to come to his rescue, and this sets off a whole new series of attacks not just on Calvin, but on Ash and Dakota as well. Nobody is safe in this story!

Calvin has turned into an alpha, but he isn’t proud of having caused his friends’ deaths. He may have survived, but burn wounds now disfigure him and he isn’t sure anyone will give him the time of day, never mind wanting to be mated to him. His lack of self-confidence doesn’t stop him from claiming Renny, as soon as he is willing, but it does leave him with a guilty conscience and a lot of insecurity.

If you want to find out how Renny and Calvin manage to deal with the fact that they are mates, if surprise attacks and constant vigilance sound interesting, and if you’re looking for a read that is as suspenseful as it is hot for a newly mated couple, then you might like this novella.
