I have to admit that this is not one of my favorite series by Mr. Stretke, and this book was probably better than the others. I’m not comfortable with how Zayn claimed his mate and then didn’t bring it up until he was forced to. He might have been assured that, being mates, it’d all work out, but consent is a big deal. Especially how Remy was still in the process of escaping from and recovering from some serious physical and emotional abuse.
Remy is running from an abusive boyfriend and while waiting in the bus station sees his boyfriend's employee trying to approach him. He quickly sits next to a large but friendly looking man, Zayn a wolf shifter who recognizes Remy as his mate. Then Remy races away to catch an outgoing bus and Zayn has no choice but to follow, gets on the bus, snags a seat next to him and engages him in reluctant conversation. The employee Galen, is also on the bus and tries to get to Remy which Zayn intercepts. When the bus gets disabled, Zayn calls for a car to pick him and Remy up and takes them back to Bay Harbor. Zayn starts wooing Remy and learns why Remy was running and offers him safety. What no one knows is that Remy is still in great danger from the ex-boyfriend and Galen. You need to read the book to see if Remy is open to mating a wolf and what will happen when he is found by the ex. Good story, exciting finish and a HEA.
Every month I eagerly wait for this author's books to come out. This month's did not disappoint. This is part of the Bay Harbor series. We finally get Beta Zayn's story. Zayn's mate is on the run from an abusive ex when they meet. He takes him home so he can take care of him and the pack can protect him. The love and adventure takes off from there in true Stretke style. This is a very sweet paranormal love story between two men. One happens to turn into a wolf. This not a mpreg. *There are some violent scenes in this book. Also descriptions of domestic violence.
No one does shifters, vampires or fated mates like B A Stretke. The stories are always fun to read, absorbing and quick. And Zayn and Remy's book is no exception. Remy is on the run from an abusive ex. And Zayn is there to help him. It doesn't hurt that Remy is his fated mate and that he'll do anything to keep him safe. The bad guys are cruel and not very bright. And after a bit of dramatic danger, easily taken care of. An enjoyable read for when you want something light and quick.
I truly enjoyed Zayn and Remy's story, although, I didn't like what happened to Remy at the beginning of this book. Remy had finally found his home with Zayn and the two were so perfect together. I loved how the villains were dealt with, which was exactly what they deserved. The writing style was excellent and the plot was heartfelt and enthralling. I just love this author's books.
This story desperately needs corrections on punctuation. Stilted talking. Same old Tall , muscled hero saving same old beautiful, "little", defenseless , White man. How about a different size, color, and some defense training? Black belt or boxing, either will do.
Loves it; I’m intrigued about Master Cabot and I’m hoping for a story with the Hellhound sheriff, Kass Keller. I love how this author can do serious character but he can also give you funny and quirky. I can’t wait for the next one.
I have read and loved every book by BA Stetke and this one is no different. I honestly can’t wait for the next book :) I recommend anyone give theirs books a try you won’t be disappointed x
This is the better story in the series,at least I think so .Why ?was Todd so determined to get Remy,it was a puzzle I am usually quicker than the so it aS a nice surprise not to figure it out good read
I like this bata/mate genre and this storyline in particular. Finding your true love is a journey itself. Opening your eyes to what's around you maybe hard as well as rewarding.
Poor Remy he should have never been put through what he went through. Remy and Zayn relationship is one I was waiting for we’ll more like Zayn mate bc we didn’t know about remy yet. But Zayn deserves his mate.

BA Stretke is a guilty pleasure…as in, I feel guilty enjoying his books because they’re really poorly edited and most of the time, the sentences are run-ons. However, the plot of the books is something I happen to enjoy. I would definitely read more of his books if they didn’t cost a ridiculous amount of money for what is basically a novella. Authors that have super long series HAVE to know that not everyone is going to take a chance on purchasing each book, especially at $2.99 a pop, unless they were in on the series from the start. IF his books were on Kindle Unlimited, I’d gladly read all of them. I might even be more apt to buy whole series if they were only $0.99. Heck, I’ll even take bundling a certain amount of books together for a cheaper price! I just can’t justify spending $3 on each one for what you get.
