Blurb: Robbie has been spending a lot of time with the shifters hiding in the mountain since his best friend Vaughn moved there. That means he’s also been spending a lot of time with Scott, one of the alphas. He likes Scott, but he’s convinced nothing can happen between them. As an alpha, Scott deserves so much better. Besides, with several cases of shifters wanting more rights being brought in front of the Supreme Court, they have other things to focus on.

Scott doesn’t know why Robbie is pushing him away. He can tell it’s not because he doesn’t want him, though, so he decides to push a little. He knows it was the right decision when Robbie starts opening up, and when the construction of the first shifter-human town in the state begins, he volunteers both of them to help.

Robbie and Scott try to live with each other and with the self-esteem issues Robbie’s ex caused when he left him. But not everyone wants shifters to be free, and between the protestors picketing outside the new town and the traitor inside it trying to stop construction, they’re going to have to trust each other, no matter their problems.

Review: It is finally coming to an end of the stupid laws against shifters. It is now at the supreme court and although many are still afraid to come out, they are going forward. The man behind getting the law changed was wanting to build a town for shifters and humans, but he needed help getting there.

Robbie’s best friend was dating and living with the shifters but he only sees im everyonce in awhile. There was a certain bear shifter that made him confused but hot. It also didn’t help that when he was going to see him, that goofy bear scared the shit out of him.

Scott was an alpha bear who was falling in love with Robbie. When the question of volunteers was brought up he suggested them both. They were to build the homes and live there, but first he had to get Robbie into it.

I love the mixture of shifters in this series. Bear shifters are quite unique and fun to read about. Although Scott is an alpha he doesn’t really act like it. He is very charming and fun, where as Robbie comes off as a stick in the mud. My problem with this particular book was there was no feeling of chemistry between these two. They just didn’t come off like they should have. Plus the way it flowed was a bit off as well.

Other than those issues it is still a nice book. I can’t wait to see what the next book will be like.
