Blurb: The Anax, ruler of all werewolves in the United States, is bent on controlling the werewolf world, and only Tobias Rogan is strong enough to stop him.
Tobias Rogan never wanted to rule anyone, but in the past several months has gone from quietly running the smallest pack in the U.S. to controlling the Northeast Region. And now, to save the werewolf world, he must challenge the Anax, ruler of all werewolves in the United States. But Tobias’s mate, Kyle Slidell, is being held as blackmail, and Tobias must choose: Issue his challenge and risk Kyle’s life, or allow the Anax to declare war.

Review: This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Tobias somehow found himself ruling the Northeast Region of the werewolves in the U.S.; it’s a role he never wanted but to keep the werewolves safe he accepted the position. Now Tobias knows he will have to step up again as it becomes clearer that the Anax of the U.S. is losing his grip and becoming dangerous, but the Anax has no intention of letting his position go and Tobias is facing the toughest decision yet. Kyle acted to defend Tobias but the Anax holds Kyle’s fate in his hands and gives Tobias a choice, back down and Kyle lives or challenge and Kyle dies.
You know when I first started reading this series I had no idea what would await me at the end of the series. With a series title of Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat, I expected a light fluffy series but I got a very pleasant surprise as the threads of each story came together to give us something that has a strong foundation and gives us excitement, conflict, great characters, and a great conclusion. Tempeh for Two brings an end to the unrest within this werewolf world with Tobias and Kyle proving to be an incredible couple that can handle anything thrown their way.
So in this story we finally see what depths the Anax will go to trying to keep his hold over the wolves, his sneak attacks, his silent threats and his blatant threats, we also see his complete disregard for all the wolves and the insanity that makes him cause strife. Kyle and Tobias find themselves in an unpleasant position when Kyle protects Tobias, having to stick to pack rules might now even help them when the Anax has his own plans. I have to say the Anax is really insane, but he puts a very good face on being sane but his actions speak for themselves.
Tobias and Kyle are still the same couple we have always known, totally in love with each other and Tobias still hating having to lead so many wolves but the strain has some effects on them and it speaks of their strength as a couple that they don’t let it pull them apart. This isn’t really a story that you can just pick up and read. It’s a story that has connections to every story that came before it, so it really does need to be read in order. You won’t be sorry though because this really is a very enjoyable series.
I recommend this to those who love shifters, conflict, and strife being resolved, brilliant characters, and an incredible ending.
