Book Blurb

Miguel Garcia and Luis Rodriguez have been best friends all their lives. For the last year, they’ve been hiding the fact that they’re also destined mates. When Luis’s family finds out, they kick him out. Miguel’s family would keep them… except their alpha has been known to be downright violent against gay wolves.

With the help of Miguel’s mother, they set out to find a pack that will accept them. They run into more that a few obstacles before they end up in Denver, at the national wolf headquarters, meeting the alpha prime. They’re stunned to find, not only offers to join more than one pack, but that their struggle can shine light on a bigger problem–and make things better for LGBT wolves across the country.



First edition published in the 'One Pulse' anthology by Dreamspinner Press, September 2016.


Book Review

I was delighted to find this little story within the Forbes world. My heart was drawn to Miguel and Luis’s dilemma as soon as I read the blurb and I kept hoping for a happy ever after for both these very young men.

 

After being forced to leave their home in Los Angeles, Miguel and Luis are turned away from three other packs before they are steered toward Denver and the Alpha Prime, Noah. While they are there, Noah calls a meeting of all of the alphas and recommends a vote changing their laws so no pack can ever discriminate against a wolf due to what gender their mate is.

 

Luis and Miguel end up leaving and going to Pennsylvania to join Tanner’s pack, the Forbes pack, and it was lovely to see familiar faces again. My only complaint is that I would have loved for this to be just a little longer. However, any chance I get to explore this world is a win, so thank you, Grace!
