Elizabeth and David are both Wolf shifters and lovers. They were together in a pack run by Rintail until it became unbearable to David and his fellows. Elizabeth helped them escape the pack but she has had to stay to take care of her failing grandmother. When her grandmother passes she puts in place her plan for getting out without being seen to leave. She is very scared Rintail will not let her leave. Or that he will come after her. As of course, he does.

I love Terry Spear’s books. And I looked forward to this one. However, it felt more like an extended epilogue than a new romance. I don’t think this is a good standalone book. If I’d known the stories of some of the secondary characters, seen what David and his fellow had to go through in Rintail’s pack and how hard it was to get away I might have felt more kinship with him and with Elizabeth. I’d have had more emotional investment in the book. As it was, I just could not relate.

To be fair, I plan to read the first book in this series to see if those back-connections are what was missing for me in this book. Like I said, I usually enjoy Ms. Spear’s books

Elizabeth and David have been waiting year to be together. David had to escape their pack leader years ago after he was turned against his will and Elizabeth was unable to leave with him since she had an ailing grandmother she couldn't leave. The time has finally come for the two to unite but pack leader and his minions will do everything they can to pull them apart.

I struggled a bit with this story, though I love the series this one seemed to miss something that the others had.

David and Elizabeth are separated because an unscrupulous pack leader will not allow Elizabeth to leave. After her grandmother's death, David and friends rescue her and Sherri, who insisted on leaving with her. The gaining pack employs both women and welcome them. Readers will enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship of those in the pack. There's plenty of room for growth in the series. Sherri seems to have her own story soon.

I was very excited about the concept of this book and its description, but it came to actually reading it I felt a bit bogged down by the language and had trouble engaging. However, as plenty of other people have loved this series I think it was just a matter of personal taste!

This is the story about how a female wolf and a male find their way back to each other, even with the obstacles thrown in their way.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

This was a very sweet, fun read. Though I cannot say it stood out from other shifter novels out there. Some characters fell flat to me but I loved grandma Ada. She was a wonderful character and her relationship with Elizabeth was enjoyable. Most of the drama and fight of the story is pretty basic as well but the Elizabeth and David’s romance is rather fluffy, so it makes for an easy read if you want to delve into a shifter universe.

I think I may have wanted to read the other two in this series first.

Typical shifter story. Not bad but not great either.

Overall I think the author could give better dialogue and more steam.
