Blurb: How can wolf shifter Erik Masters form a relationship with his mate, Clark Perry, when Clark’s trust issues are even more deeply rooted than Erik’s?
Wolf shifter Erik Masters has had a lot of sleepless nights since he visited the illegal compound in New Mexico that houses scores of newly made wolves. The atrocities he witnessed on site have been weighing heavily on his mind. When he learns that another convoy of these shifters will shortly be arriving at the sanctuary, his anger and sense of hopelessness increases. Worse still is the news of a recent discovery―some of the shifters have come from a different compound, but its location is yet unknown.
When special ops leader Jace Bryson commands Erik to befriend one of the new shifters so that they may discover the new compound’s whereabouts, Erik’s reaction is one of disbelief. Horrific events in his past have left him feeling bitter and jaded. He doesn’t trust strangers and is far more at ease in his own company. When he discovers that Clark, the shifter he’s been assigned to, is his mate, Erik’s problems have only just begun. Clark Perry is far from an average shifter, made or otherwise. It appears his trust issues are more deeply rooted than Erik’s and Clark might just have an agenda of his own.

Review: This book is best read in sequence, as it is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. However if it was me I would read in order so that you can get a better feel for the characters. Erik had some problems being around others, but when his boss and friend Jace ask him to befriend another shifter, he agrees. Jace needed to know where the other base full of shifters was at so they could go in and rescue them. The problem was on the last rescue mission, it had made Erik not only sick but also angry. When he finds out that the shifter he is to befriend is his mate he flips out.
Clark was a made shifter, not from a bite like Jace’s mate but from scientist. He was a special ops military soldier and he thought that by becoming a shifter would help his abilities. He was warned by his superiors that Jace’s group would tell him lies and try to change his mind. He knew to go in and get the information needed, but he wasn’t expecting a mate to be there.
When he finally decided that, he did want Erik he had decided that he didn’t want to do his job anymore. He wanted his mate. Coming out however might be the hardest thing he has done, fearing his mates reaction he knew he had to do the right thing.
This series gets even better. It has amazing characters who have gone through hell and find away to overcome all of their pain and fears. You can’t help but fall in love with them. You will feel the pain that Erik felt when his family was killed. You will also feel the fears that Clark had when he thought he would lose his mate forever for his deception. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves the paranormal worlds, sexy men, danger, and excitement. This book has all of that and so much more. I can’t wait to read more from Lavinia.
