Review: This was an amazing story. Each book in the Dark Hollow Wolf Pack Series focuses on a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, we recommend reading the series in sequential order. It keeps me from getting a bit lost in the stories and gives me an insight in to their world. A world that captured my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I love the way each character just mixes with the others. How fast they are to defend what is theirs and what they believe.
Casey was an alpha wolf and his intent was to kill the man named Rory, the man who killed his brother. The problem was he had found his mate at the pack he worked his way into to find Rory. Attracted to the little man, he was not only troubled but also shocked. At first, he was going to find a way to get his mate to submit to him. That is until he found out that his mate was the man he had intended to kill. He also found out that things were not what they seemed. So he had decided that by mating him, it would kill his wolf. He blamed the wolf for his brother’s death.
Rory was in love with his mate. However, when he found out what Casey’s plan was, he was hurt and angered. He never felt this kind of pain before and he knew that he could not let Casey continue with his plan. He had lost his wolf, but he would not lose the rest of himself. He found out that he couldn’t stay away from the man he had begun to love, but feared Casey could never love him the way he should. Now it was up to Casey to continue either to hate and be angry or to love the man. A man who was not what he had expected.
I loved this story and cannot wait to get my hands on book three. It didn’t turn out the way I thought it would though, or maybe it turned out better than I thought. A man bent on revenge learns that the man he hated and wanted dead was not the man he thought him to be. A man who drew him in and showed him how love was to be. There is that hint of kink in this story and it showed me even more. I absolutely love it.
