Blurb: On the Road: Sometimes, learning to get past your own problems, means focusing on someone else.
As an orphan, Chip had never really had a home or even much to call his own. After being adopted, he’d hoped he’d found acceptance. Unfortunately, a year later, he shifted into his bobcat for the first time and his new parents had thought him possessed. Forced to run, Chip lived mostly as an animal for decades. Having grown up alone in foster care, it hadn’t been much different and he hadn’t thought it too bad…until the day he’d been captured and tortured by scientists. Rescued by Kontra and his gang, Chip finally sees the light at the end of the long, lonely tunnel of his life. Scarred, malnourished, and suffering from panic attacks, Chip struggles to get his body and mind back under control. When the gang visits a pride of lion shifters, Chip meets Grimes, who claims they are mates. Can he manage to get past his hang-ups and grab onto the happiness Grimes offers him?

Review: Once again, Charlie has written an amazing story that I love. She has such a gift at story telling that I will always buy her stories no matter what. She has a way with characters that you can’t help but love them and cheer them all the way.
Chip is sweet, innocent in pack ways and mating, tender-hearted, and scared to death of crowds. Kontra and his gang had rescued Chip from scientist who was cruel and hated with a passion. He just wants to get over what had happened in captivity and his mate. Grimes is a lion shifter, wanted by many of the females of the pride but only interested in a certain bobcat. He has found his mate only to realize he had to go slow and tender with the little cat. He is strong at will and heart, tender and caring with his mate and loved by many. He wants to protect his mate with everything in him even if it meant his death. The sex between them is hot and fierce.
This story has an amazing story line that has pain, anger, danger, excitement, and love throughout. I have always loved the paranormal and when it comes with two sexy men loving one another, getting through the past problems and finding a way to go forward makes the story even better. I can see myself sitting on the couch, my feet tucked under me with the light on besides me and loosing myself in this story more than once. It was amazing and I loved every minute of it. It captured my attention from the start and kept it to the end. I would recommend reading it, but you should start with book one in this series to get the full context to everyone. I can’t wait to read it again. I also can’t wait for the next book of this series to come out.
