Blurb:   Navy SEAL Simon Morrison came home broken. But quilter Tate Stevens is slowly healing him. If only Simon’s secret didn’t endanger them both.
Tate… I fell in love with a man I didn’t understand. You know how that is? Simon Morrison has long silver blond hair in a ragged ponytail and blue eyes more alive than I’ve ever seen, like he’s walked with death so everything else has burned away. He’s a warrior who came back broken, who hides in the shadows. And there’s something dangerous about him, but I didn’t understand until the night I ran after him and they were waiting—the other wolves. They tore into me and I died. My name is Tate Stevens and I died but something keeps me here. I can’t leave my warrior behind, no matter how much it hurts or how whatever it is I am becoming confuses me.

Simon… I came back from Afghanistan with one goal, to find a place to die. But slowly, watching Tate working on his art quilts, it got so it didn’t hurt so much. I felt the colors coming back. He is my light. He is my heart. They tried to take him away from me while I screamed his name. And now he thinks he’s a monster. He is so alone. I have to find a way to bring him back to his light…

Review: This is book seven in the series but stands alone just fine I will warn you that you will want to go get the last three so get your credit cards handy.

Simon is a shifter and has been in Afghanistan and came back scarred and wanting to die. He lives in the hills alone having PTSD and not liking to be around people. One day by the stream in wolf form Tate notices him yet doesn’t act afraid. He watches Tate worried that something may happen to him so far from town in the woods. The young man and his quilting mesmerize him, no longer wanting to die but knowing that he can never be in Tate’s life.

Tate is a recluse himself. He came for LA to escape life, just write his books, and work on his quilts. He dreams of a man that can understand him for what he is and accept him for more than just sex.

I loved, loved, and loved this book. These uncommon cowboys are awesome! I love how some of the characters are shifters and the shifter element plays a little in the book but doesn’t overshadow the entire story. I also like the fact none of these men are perfect. Each one is damaged in some way and finds the perfect someone to compliment them and make them whole again. I also like that it never comes easy, and the men don’t really change they just heal. 

I loved Simon. He is sexy in his own way. I really loved Tate. He may be small but he knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to be himself.  I loved that he is a quilter and a true artist. I also liked how the other characters from the past books are brought in with just enough info you don’t get confused. Now let’s talk about twists. There are some big twists in here. I gasped, I cried and I sighed!

I highly recommend this book if you like shifters, cowboys, twists, broken men and some hot loving mansex.
