A really good, solid entry into a new shifter series... The mythology of shifters and their mating is not the same as in CC's Mates series, but all the hallmarks of a Cardeno C book are there...Watching Mitch and Simon learn each other, seeing Simon gradually accept that Mitch is different, and that he's attracted to him is the part of the story that made me love this book. I loved seeing the playful sides to both men once they opened up to each other. ..I am never let down by a CC book, the characters always fit the story, and they are always well written. There was nothing about this story that didn't work and I liked that CC made it different from the Mates series. I honestly can't recommend Blue Mountain enough.

Most of the story is watching the developing relationship between Simon and Mitch. The story doesn't follow a traditional arc, in that the conflict is set from the beginning and we are watching it slowly resolve over the course of the story. I actually enjoyed this build, following along as these men slowly come together and find happiness.... I found this a really sweet, warm story, and I loved seeing these guys slowly build their relationship. They are both such lovely men, I was happy to see them finally figure it all out and come together.

All combine to give us a heart-tugging story of two wolves, one who wants what he can't have, and another that doesn't want what he needs most.

It had a real nice pace to it, and I had a hard time stopping myself from listening to it all in one go, despite the fact that I had Things That Must Be Done.
