Borscht Kuznetsov is the master of his vampire coven. He likes his donors silent, his people obedient, and his life orderly. When an alarm on the northern outskirts of his property alert him to intruders, he leads the charge to drive the humans from his land.
To his surprise, Borscht discovers they were chasing an Egyptian fruit bat. Confused by his sudden onslaught of protectiveness, he realizes the little creature is a shifter…who refuses to shift.
With his only memories that of his time spent in captivity, Sekani doesn’t know much. He can’t even understand the words of the people around him after he escapes from his prison. Still, one of them smells really good…and the man saved him from the hunters. When the man finally says a few words in halting English, Sekani learns that his world is so much larger than he could ever have imagined.
Can Borscht handle his beloved’s overabundance of excitement, especially when he learns that Sekani has friends that need rescuing?

Review: Each book in the Wolves of Stone Ridge collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. (But, it’s not necessary…PdM)
There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way Charlie can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by one of my favorite authors.
Borscht is the leader of his coven and he is depressed. He has seen two of his younger siblings find their true loves and he wants his. He is kind of strange for a vampire. Although for a vampire it is probably normal. He loves quiet donors, his life in order and the rules followed. The only part of his family that I think needs to be beaten is his homophobic brother Aleksei. So when they see intruders on their lands, they end up finding a little bat shifter. Borscht has found his mate.
Sekani is the cutest little bat shifter you have ever seen. He is so innocent and sweet. He has spent so much time stuck in a cage that he doesn’t even know how old he is. He had been experimented on and he was scared. He doesn’t understand the language that Borscht and the others speak but he is not really sure what language he speaks either. All he knows is that this sexy man smells delicious. The scientists are out there looking for him, so it is up to Borscht to stop them from getting his love.
Now out of all of Charlie’s books I think this is my top favorite. Sekani comes off perfect and he is absolutely my favorite out of all of her wonderful characters. I love the right amount of feelings that come through when you are reading it.
There is something about the way that Charlie tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story.
This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break or when you just need the sun to shine for you. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.
I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it.
I can’t wait to read the next story. When Charlie puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.
