Review: This is book two in this series and they should be read in order. Not only would it give you an insight into each character and won’t get you lost when you read them, it will give you a thrill. L. L. Brooks has an amazing gift at telling you a story that you will fall in love with but will give you a world to lose yourself into when you are seeking a place to be in. Daniel and Brand are such different types of men that you can’t help but want to help cheer them on in their future lives.

Daniel had met Brand when he was posing as a rent boy trying to get the bad guys. Now he is mated to the big wolf shifter and has a little one to take care of. They had survived six months of murder attempts even finding out that Daniel was a mountain lion shifter. Talk about a shock to both of them. Daniel has lots of insecurities in his relationship and his life that he is trying to overcome. He is also in the middle of a war that is pressing Brand into becoming an alpha. He loves Brand more than life and he knows in his heart that Brand loves him. There are many dangers coming at them each day, and lots of secrets that still need to be found out. With many wolves coming for the for help they need to combine their efforts to help the other. I love how Brand wants Daniel’s help in things and can understand Daniel’s fears. What I don’t understand is how Daniel cannot want to connect with his cat.

There is so much love between them that it just makes your heart swell up. I have always loved paranormals, especially when it comes in a romance story. It makes it even better when you have two very hot and sexy men with such different personalities that should drive one insane but seems to bring them together in such a strength that you will love. This book gives you all that plus dangers, excitement, and even adventure.

It shows you how two different men can find love so deep that it will leave you breathless. I would recommend reading this book. It will give you an experience that you will love. It has twists that will surprise you and excite you. I cannot wait to read the next book in this amazing series.
