This book was like the Energizer bunny in that it kept going and going and going. It was over twice the length it should have been for one book. About half way through the leads defeated the Big Bad but then another mystery had to pop up and go for a few hundred pages. Then at the end we were still left with unanswered questions so maybe there will be a sequel?

This is one long long book...like a novel and two novellas or maybe two novels. Not saying that I am complaining I kept thinking oh the story is concluding and nope I was like half way done.
The story opens with Aislynn is working as a bartender in a very sleazy bar with a VERY sleazy boss. Then one night a weird man comes in he sits in a corner and basically watches Aislynn all night and is to drunk to drive home. That man is Cullen and his is drinking to numb the pain of getting himself involve...more

I really liked this book. Was suprised when I got it and saw how long it was. Not many PNR books I've run acroos are this long.
Cullen is a sexy Alpha male. As soon as he catches a whiff of Aislinn, he can't get her out of his head and can 't seem to stay away from her.
Aislinn has had more than her fair share of trouble bad relationships, crappy jobs, worse bosses just to name a few. She's drawn to Cullen but having been hurt in the past is very wary. That doesn't seem to bother Cullen, as Alpha...more

I liked the book but the reasons I did not give it a higher rating is
1. the editing was very annoying. There was so many grammar errors, missing words and typos it was very distracting. There were times I would have to go back to see who was speaking.
2. There was so many foriegn words that needed interpretation . Although there was a translation at the end of the book but by that time I did not remember where I came across the words or in what context. I am use to some sought of interpretation...more

This story is a super-novel length tale that really takes the time to tell the story fully. When the reader arrives at the end, there is no doubt that all that can be known has been made known and I, for one, appreciate reading a book that is long enough to tell it all. Aislann and Cullen are both fascinating characters and reading their full story was a most satisfying reading experience. It put me in mind of the epic novels of the past, when publishers weren't afraid to put out a really big bo...more
This is an odd book for me. I felt like it was too books in one, the first half the stuff with Rafe, the second more with Jenna. I did like the dichotomy of the wolves and druids, liked how things were more in the second half with them. I liked how the pack was more family, but at times the drama within the pack and their fight for rank was too much. What really turned me off was the way the sex was portrayed in the book. I usually have a hard line where if there are human/animal couplings it tu...more

Pretty good, fast paced story with Aislinn and Cullen. Cullen is the leader (Alpha) of his wolf pack. Aislinn is working as a waitress when Cullen mets her. He has just gotten engaged to someone else under pressure from his pack. He knows that she is not his true mate so when he catches Aislinn's scent he is not sure how to handle the situation. He has waited so long to met his mate that he had given up.

Aislinn has been on the run since she escaped from her deranged ex-boyfriend who had plans for her that would have brought a life of misery as well as losing all her control. At another dive bar as a waitress, she is used to sticking up or herself and defending unwanted advances, especially to sleazy bosses. When a man comes in looking down on his luck, Aislinn treats him the same as she would everyone else, but this is no ordinary man and he has never received the unabashed directness from anot...more
Aislynn the heroine is on the run and is working in a sleazy run down bar and foisting off the advances of her equally sleazy boss. When an gorgeous stranger comes in and proceeds to drink the night away, Aislynn does what any good bartender does. She calls his friends and asks that they come and get him because the bar is closing. The man's friends arrive and when they do she slips quietly away in order to escape the unwanted advances of her disgusting boss. Unknown to her she has caught the ey...more
I like the overall story. HOWEVER, with all the typos and the fact that you actually cannot tell who is talking at first, is extremely frustrating and takes away from the enjoyment of the book. The reviews state the book is: "really good book", "bad typos" and "Horrible ending".etc.... I normally take "reviews" with a grain of salt and still make my own decision. I have to say that I am really glad I went against the negative reviews. Yes, there was some really bad grammatical errors, but if you...more
If it hadn't been for the fact that my mom bought this book for me I wouldnt have finished reading it and deleted it from my kindle immediately.. I don't believe in giving horrible reviews on books I don't care for because I would Never have to courage to write my own story down and have read and reviewed by others. So with that said this book wasn't for me but if like long paranormal romances with lots of very graphic sex scenes on every other page (600 pages worth) this is the book for you.. W...more
VERY LONG read. It seems to go on and on forever. If you can overlook some editing mishaps, it is a decent read.
The characters are well developed, and the plot was good. This could have definitely been broken down into multiple books through.

This was a great book why... because I remember reading it about two years ago and I still remember the story and will read it again. That's what makes it great to me. I read about three books a month.
This was the longest book about shifters I've ever read, but it was pretty good.
He is an alpha without a mate
she is a girl with a secret
she is a girl with a secret
Wolfish, sexy, entertaining - sound read
Ok This was the best shifter book I have read all year. I would love to read more from this writer. The Best.
Really good book!!!

I love sexy hot alpha wolves, seriously its my favourite.
I really did enjoy this, Yes it was super long, I didn't mind that. I was just gonna read it a little and come back to it but I read it in one sitting hahaha. It took me the whole damn day but It was sexy hot!
It ended with a few things unresolved and a possibility of another book so I hope that happens.

Needs the help of an editor, but a decent story. It's a really long story that doesn't end when you think it's going to end. Warning: sex with partially shifted and fully shifted shifters occur, a rape scene, and 2 F/F scenes. Looks like it was originally published on Literotica (author=secretme).
