Review: This is part of the Wolves of New Haven series and they should be read in order. Each story gives you a new romancing couple but the stories mingle with the previous books. The characters are beautifully written with quite a lot of heart and soul put into them. They also usually have a bit of pain in them that will draw you to them more. These two characters in this story are great examples of that. However, there was something missing in this story to make it perfect to me. For one thing, it was way to short with me, although it did have great detail to the story. My problem was the way they handle certain parts in their lives.

Many people have lost children, some from lack of attention, sickness, cruelty and some are even loss by accidents. And many of the parents of these children work their way through their pain and some end their marriages. In this story, Reed and Carlos had to go through that. Carlos blamed Reed for the loss of their twelve-year-old adoptive daughter. Enough so that Reed had left their mating. It didn’t stop the love that they had between each other Now Reed was back.

When their enemy offered peace through a one on one fight Carlos accepts. He would fight also to save Reeds life, when his enemy was going to torture his mate and then kill him. Through all the pain that they lived, love will overcome all of it. However, for me there should have been more to the story. I admit it tells quite a bit about before the actual story really begins. However, it was a bit off to me but I still had a blast with it. It had a bit of a twist to this story. It drew me in more with each turning of the page. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading this book and cannot wait to get my hands the next story.

It gave me almost everything I could want in a book. It gave me sexy men, the amazing paranormal world, vampires, werewolves, excitement, lots of action and adventure, dangerous situations, crazed killers, angst, and lots of amazingly hot sex. I would recommend reading this story if you love all of that and so much more.

Review: Each book in Wolves of New Haven collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. I think what gives me a kick is the titles of these books. I love the fact that you can tell that there is some humor in them just from the title alone.

Although I am not too sure about bacon sundaes, it is a cool idea considering how many guys would probably eat it. This story shows what it feels like to have lost your mate and how to get the strength to keep on going.

Pat had lost his mate a few years ago to cancer and Jules had lost his to a killer of werewolves. They both dealt with pain a bit differently although they were both slowly giving up. Pat had gained weight and had slipped into depression, where as Jules decided to go after the killer. Jules had in fact been led to New Haven where he runs into Pat at a local gym. He was turned the hell on, but his mouth over ruled his brain. He wasn’t sure how to make things right. Then the shock of the fact that they were mates brings in a bit of sunshine to their lives. Now all they have to do is to get rid of the killer and buy some more bacon sundaes.

This story was a blast to read. I had not laughed in so long at certain parts of this story. It was so much fun to lose myself into it. Usually you can tell when an author puts her heart into a story and this was one of them. Although I do wish that, they were a bit longer. I wanted to hear more about them but it was a great story for me.

I would recommend reading this if you love two sexy men, wolf shifters, excitement, surprise, danger, and hot, tempting sex. I loved it and cannot wait to get my hands on the next story.
