~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For most readers to date, this has
been a prequel, written well after they had already read several of the books
in this series. For me, I had not read
any, so this is book one to my mind. I
was not lost. Each character is
well-introduced. BTW: the introduction to Dria and Rafe is hawt,
hawt, hawt!!
A year ago, college student,
Jonathan Winchester, was bitten by a wolf and forced to believe that the things
that go bump in the night are real.
Romeo, alpha of the Manitoba pack, takes him in to train him, but it is
soon evident that Jon is an alpha and will one day outgrow or challenge for the
pack. Jon decides to leave after a
tremendous argument with Romeo that shows no sign of resolution. He finds himself in Virginia, close to but
unable to go home. He’s surprised to
chance upon another lone wolf, his waitress, Raine. When he discovers her secret and the danger
she is in, he is determined to save the woman he believes could be his mate. His determination leads him to a pretty
redheaded vampire, Dria, and her human husband, Rafe. Will saving Raine mean death for Jon?
If you are new to the series, as I
am, I recommend this as a first read.
Allow yourself to fall in love with Jon as I have! You have to admire any man who will place
himself in danger or debt to claim the woman he wants.
How exciting to be at the beginning
of a new series loved by so many! I’m
looking forward to the next “prequel,” Just One Taste; see that review,
soon!
