Devotion

Grace R. Duncan

Will Tanner realize he’s wrong and claim his mate before Finley’s devotion is gone?

Finley Cooper is tired of waiting for his destined mate to be ready to claim him. In deference to human laws, he’s already agreed to wait until he’s eighteen. But now his birthday has come and gone—and his mate has a new set of excuses. Finley doesn’t understand it any more than his wolf does, and he’s beginning to wonder if fate made a mistake.

Tanner Pearce wants nothing more than to claim his mate, but he worries that Finley is too young. Tanner will never forget what happened when his best friend mated at Finley’s age, only to have that mate end up feeling trapped and breaking their bond. While rare, it can happen, and the fallout Tanner witnessed as his best friend tried to deal with the break has haunted him for years.

When Finley finally has enough, he threatens to find someone who will claim him if Tanner doesn’t, and Tanner realizes he needs to come to terms with his fears or risk losing his mate forever.

Grace R. Duncan!

Thank you so much to MM Good Book Reviews for allowing me to hang out today! It’s much appreciated. Let’s see what else Tanner and Finley have to say as we continue the interview…

* * *

What’s the most important thing in your life? What do you value most?

Tanner doesn’t even hesitate. Finley. After Finley is the pack. As future Alpha, I have to think of them, but as much as I love them, as much as I have a responsibility and duty to them, Finley has to come first.

Not that I’d ever make him choose. Finley shakes his head. I might not have been born into this pack, but they’re mine as much as his and mean a lot to me. As mate of the alpha, I’ll have my own responsibility and duty to them. Finley pauses, pensive. I’d have to say the pack is the second. My family is in there, but really, our pack is our family.

Speaking of family… How do you feel about them, now that you’re an adult?

Finley grins. Kid A and Kid B are as annoying as they always were. He laughs. I appreciate Mom and Dad more, all they went through for us. I guess, too, I’m hitting that part where I realize they might know more than I gave them credit for.

Tanner snickers. Yeah, that’s a hard lesson, right there. There were times growing up where I resented my dad. I always loved him and my mom. But Dad was all about the pack—I understand that now—and all I heard was about learning to be a good alpha. I get it, it is important, and I understand so much more now that I’m faced with it myself.

Let’s have some fun. What three things would you take to a Desert Island?

Both laugh, then, at the same time speak. Lube!

Finley looks thoughtful. Aside from that… a way to harness solar power and a laptop or other device full of my werewolf movies. If I’ve got that, lube, and Tanner, I’m set.

Tanner laughs. I suppose I’m not much different. Maybe a Kindle or other e-reader filled with books. I could be quite happy as long as I had reading material, Finley… and, of course, the lube.

Review: Tanner Pearce is the son of the Alpha wolf, heir apparent and future Alpha. Finding his destined mate should be a cause for celebration. But Tanner is in his twenties and his mate is only sixteen. Tanner never considers not mating with Finley, he just wants his mate to at least be of age and have lived enough life not to have any regrets once they do mate. But young Finley is growing tired of waiting and being pushed away at every turn.

Finley finally reaches a breaking point and flees to his grandparent’s home which is thousands of miles away. Tanner wants to give Finley his space, it’s the reason he has refused to actually mate with his mate these last few years, so Finley could enjoy his youth and be truly ready when they did mate. But now Tanner fears he has driven away his heart, and he’s not quite sure how to get him back.

Fantastic start to a new series! I thoroughly enjoyed the traditional Shifter aspects Duncan included in her story, while bringing a few unique ones of her own to the mix, keeping it fresh. There was the right amount of drama and angst in the story without being immature or awkward.

Tanner has his reasons for wanting to wait to complete the mate bond, but he’s not entirely honest with Finley and it could cost him everything. The story flowed well from beginning to end with crests and valleys along the way to keep the reader interested and entertained.

Shifter fans are going to flock to this one of course, but there is so much more to the story. Coming of age, figuring out who you are and your place in life, learning to bend and give, especially when the decisions you make not only affect you, but your partner too.

There’s some sexy time as well, these two wolves are pretty passionate about each other.

And even, dare I say, a bit of romance… Le Sigh.
