Blurb: One rainy night, bike-shop owner Kenton Palmer finds an injured dog on the road and takes him to the nearest vet clinic, only to discover he’s actually a wolf. Undeterred, he wants to nurse the injured animal following a necessary surgery. The handsome Dr. Will Barclay’s interest and his own brand of animal attraction overwhelm Kenton, who’s been doubting himself after a failed romance.
Gray Fowler is a wolf-shifter and pack alpha. After Kenton rescues him and takes him home to heal, he’s forced to remain in wolf form. But that doesn’t prevent him from falling hard for Kenton. It begins as jealousy, but Gray soon discovers Will, Kenton’s new admirer, is caught up in something sinister. However, he’s forced to wait until he’s healthy before he can shift and enter Kenton’s life as a man.
Then Gray must discover how Will’s shady activities are linked to the men who ran him down and expose the scheme before Kenton gets too involved with Will.

Review: Kenton rescues an injured wolf and takes him to a vet to be treated for his injuries. There he meets Will, the vet. He takes the wolf, who he names Rain whose actual name Gray Fowler and the alpha of his pack, home with him to recuperate. But Rain is not a normal wolf. He’s a shifter whose instincts are telling him something is sinister about Will. So he stays to keep a watch on Kenton and in the process falls for him.
It was amazing to read how Gray stayed n wolf form just so he could be with Kenton any way he could and protect. He stayed longer than he needed to but he didn’t really want to leave. But he knew he had no choice. It was heartbreaking to read Kenton’s reaction to finding Rain gone the next day. But he eventually meets Gray in human form and immediately is attracted to him.
This book has it all action, adventure, danger, romance, and shifters. Wonderfully written I could not put it down until the very end. I was shocked and disgusted at what Will was exactly doing. It broke my heart that people could be so cruel and callous to animals. Sexy Gray and handsome Kenton make sweet love compared to Will and Kenton’s hard and fast sex scenes.
Fantastic read. Highly recommended for all paranormal fans.
