Book Review

I was pleasantly shocked with just how much I enjoyed this novel. I believe this is the first book by J.R. Loveless I have read but it definitely will not be the last.

 

Cole is an alpha wolf shifter. He is next in line behind his dad to take over his pack. Recently his pack has started looking to other packs to find their true mates. He has been hoping to find his. Finding a true mate has always been a dream for him that he hopes will come true. So when he accidentally bumps into a man one day and catches his scent, he knows immediately that this man is the other half of his soul. What Cole never expected is the man to be spooked as badly as he was and to end up having to chase him all over in order to find him again.

 

Kai is on the run from his abusive uncle. The last thing he wants to do is to be caught and have to return to him. While on the run, Kai ends up in a situation that puts his life at risk. Just when he thinks this may be the end of him, a man shows up and intervenes and saves his life. 

 

When Cole finally tracks Kai down again, he thinks he is going to lose his mind before he can get him to safety. Now that Kai is safe, Cole does not ever want to let him out of his sight again. The only problem is, Kai is very suspicious of Cole and very scared as well. 

 

Cole makes a deal with Kai to give him one month to get to know each other and if he is not happy then, Cole will set him up with a new identity and money so he does not have to run anymore from whatever he is running from. It is not easy for Kai to accept that help but in the end he does. Cole can only hope that he will stay. 

 

Will Kai ever accept that Cole is his true mate and would never hurt him? How will Cole react when he finds out not only about Kai’s past but also the secret that he has tried to keep from anyone else finding out about him? Will Kai’s uncle find Kai even with Cole protecting him?

 

This was such a great read that I finished the book in one setting. I cannot wait to get hold of more books by J.R. Loveless after reading this one. Definitely an incredible read!
