About this book
Homeless and nursing a broken heart, I rejected my mate the first time he spoke to me. A hunky alpha werewolf in a cowboy hat is my fantasy come to life. But is it too late to reel him back in?
Matt
I was kicked out of my pack and my home after I told the alpha's son I loved him. He broke my heart and told everyone my secret. Now I'm a rogue wolf with nowhere to go. That is, until I hear rumors of a rogue wolf hotel in a small town up north. It's a place where wolves like me can go to get back on their feet, and I need all the help I can get.
However, the moment I arrive, some douchebag in a cowboy hat calls me his mate. I lay into him, calling him every name under the sun and telling him he was the last person I'd ever be with. When he stalks away with his tail between his legs, I'm sure I've seen the last of him.
But then I end up being forced to work on his farm to earn my keep.
Ace
I've been in the small town of Shifter Grove since I was seventeen, and despite a rocky start, it’s been a peaceful life thus far. However, the day Matt rolls into town, that peace is shattered. The moment I see him, my heart begins to pound, and I blurt out "mate" before I can stop myself.
He tears me a new one, and honestly, I don't blame him. But I can't stop thinking about those perfect lips of his or the way those shorts hug his body. For the first time in my life, I want to share my heart with someone and I'm pretty sure he hates me.
However, when Matt is sent to work on my farm by the hotel owner, I realize that this might be my second chance to prove myself.

Nice story about a young werewolf kicked out of his pack, finding his mate, and place in the world. Shifter Grove is the place for Roger wolves! Leads and characters were great! Read it! ) One person found this helpful

Sweet cozy small town romance that’s 98% fluff. This felt like a light beach read kind of book, which was just what I needed after reading something more intense. I was a little annoyed with some things that felt like they were left unresolved, but maybe they will be addressed in the sequels. All in all, a very believable love story that will warm your heart. ) One person found this helpful

A well written storyline about discarded individuals finding/creating their own family group. Reasonable character development and plot, ending with the expected positive hopes. ) One person found this helpful

I always enjoy this author and the Michigan rep. since I'm from Michigan too. Matt and Ace were cute together ❤️ Ace was patient and kind, just perfect. I did wonder what his previous name was though? There was A LOT of crying from Matt, but most of it was justified. A great story overall. ) One person found this helpful

I loved the entire story. Matt gets kicked out of his pack for being gay and finds himself at a hotel that takes in people in his situation. I loved the slow build up to a love story with ace. They have the typical awkward start that builds into their happily ever after. Highly recommend this book. )
