Who knew that Isaac was sweet, kind and so vulnerable where Rafi was concerned. Seeing these two men together and seeing them working on understanding their past was a delight for me. To go on their journey with them I ended up adoring Isaac and was rooting for him to have his chance.

Extremely well-developed characters, minor characters who helped contribute to the story, great dialogue, and solid relationship development made this a fantastic story! I'm thrilled to have found an author that I've never read before, but will certainly be reading again!

This is like an arranged marriage, shifter style, which means it was arranged before the kids were even conceived! The idea is to bring two packs together to make them bigger and stronger. A pact is made between the two Alphas for the first newborns from each pack to be bonded together. When they are old enough to mate hey presto! Larger, stronger, more secure pack. That was the theory anyway….packed with the normal amount of angst, love and hot men loving each other! Loved it!!

I just love the characters from this series, the familiar feeling I get when reading all my best friends, and catching up with where they are at right now.

McFarland's is a beautifully written romantic-without-going-cheesy fairy tale novella about a gentle beastly bear loving his beauty. The great thing is that both men did not jump the creek and go for it, they went with the flow, fighting their attraction through the getting-to-know-each-other stage before they finally succumbed. Yes, theirs is a beautiful fairy tale romance that just made the 'awwws' fall from my lips and had me smiling goofy even as I write this. ....Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. **smilingoofy**
