Review: Sean is a young art student almost done with college when he tells his father he is gay. He is thrown out of his house and has little money to survive on. Finally forced to make a hard choice one night Sean and his friend Leroy are walking when a man who is known in the area as dangerous kills Leroy in front of Sean. Sean running away from the man stops the car that carries Armand. Armand is a 150-year-old werewolf and the head Alpha of North America. He immediately recognizes Sean as his destined mate.
Due to the mate bond between Sean and Armand, they start to fall in love right away. Armand makes Sean feel safe for the first time in his life. While their relationship is growing, there is also the worry about the man who killed Sean’s friend. He is also a werewolf that was already kicked out of his pack in Russia because of rape charges, and Sean is just his type. Now Armand has to do all in his power to keep his mate safe, especially when it is learned he is an Omega with a powerful gift. Something any Alpha would want.
I wanted to love this book absolutely. The concept and the back-story about werewolves are awesome. I loved the MCs and the secondary characters. There are great moments in the story that I liked. However, several editing errors kept drawing me out of the story. There were things like extra words or missing words altogether, and a few other things that I noticed. Some of the dialogue in the love scenes was a bit overdone in my opinion as well. There seemed to be something missing. Maybe as if, parts were rushed in a way. I just can’t put my finger on it.
But wait… there are several redeeming qualities to the story outside of the editing issues and seeming a bit rushed. The whole world that the author has created is very interesting and I do want to read more about it. Several scenes are funny as hell. Like when Sean takes the super rich Armand to Costco and a few other stores for shopping. That had me cracking up. They are definitely from two different worlds but the two MCs balance each other out. Sean is the peacemaker while Armand can be quick to anger. Sean may be submissive to a degree but he has no problem stepping in to calm Armand down and make his point.
So yes, this book is not perfect, but it is still worth a read. I look forward to more in the series.
