Blurb: Mishka Fadgen is new to the Stone Ridge wolf pack, and after losing a challenge to earn the beta position, he’s offered a slot as an enforcer instead. His first task comes soon, as the alpha’s daughter, Sara, goes missing from college. Mishka accompanies several others to San Francisco, following a lead to her whereabouts. While his alpha is busy consulting with a detective who’s aware of shifters, Mishka hits the streets and starts searching. What he finds, however, isn’t what he expected—his mate. Mishka discovers a young, crippled human living in an abandoned warehouse. With a lot of coaxing—and the promise of a good meal and a hot shower—Mishka convinces Aramis to join him at the home the shifters have rented. When the detective shows up, an untrusting Aramis disappears. Learning that Aramis may be able to help discover Sara’s whereabouts only heightens his need to find the man once more. If Mishka manages to track Aramis down again, can he convince his mate that his intentions are sincere and not just a means to an end?

Review: Each book in the Wolves of Stone Ridge collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Mishka lost the fight for a beta position but ended up in the enforcer’s instead. His alpha was known for fairness, loyalty and kindness. Until his daughter was kidnapped from school. Now they were on their way to San Francisco to find her and another shifter’s daughter. While searching for her, he came across a sweet young man who just happens to be his mate. A mate that is not only human but also injured shouldn’t be too hard to convince him to come back with them. That is as soon as he locates him after he takes off.
Aramis had been kicked out at fourteen when his parents found out he was gay. He has lived for some time on the street and knew how to get around. After not giving the gang what they wanted the men had left him with a screwed up knee and hand.. Then a man shows up and wants to take him away, sure not too hard to believe. Wait till he finds out Mishka is a wolf shifter.
I have always gotten a kick out of Charlie’s stories and that is not going to change. I can guarantee that it is one of those that will be read many times over. Excitement, action, danger and some hot sexy times are just a bit of what you get in these books. Now for the downside to this story: It felt rushed and the ending pretty much leaves you hanging. Then there is the fact that Aramis actually does trust him after he tells him he is a shifter. There was no shifting in the story plus you miss out on the actual action of getting the girls back. I felt robbed of most of the story.
I was a bit disappointed in this book and that was the biggest shock of all. However that doesn’t mean it isn’t one hell of a good book and kept me entertained. But, yes I felt like I was robbed of an awesome story that could have given me more.
