Full Moon Faceoff: Wolves of Burlington

About this book
Elijah Sager joins the Burlington Bobcats to escape a brutal breakup and prove he's more than the mistakes his ex made him believe he was. The last thing he needs is the team's star player—publicly straight, impossibly hot Gabriel Sanderson—watching him like he wants to devour him whole.
Gabe has spent years keeping his secrets locked down tight: he's gay, he's a wolf shifter, and his pack's territory is under threat. But when Eli steps onto the ice, Gabe's wolf recognizes something undeniable: a fated mate. The pull is magnetic and impossible to ignore.
As a rival pack closes in with threats that escalate from intimidation to kidnapping, and a deadly enemy emerges from the shadows, Gabe and Eli are forced together by something neither can control. Between championship games and full moon transformations, they'll have to fight for their lives, their pack, and a love that could destroy them both... or make them unstoppable.

The romance was romancing! This was an enjoyable read for sure, with a few reservations: The spice was great - well written and swoon-worthy. The characters were likeable and charming, but sometimes the plot developments felt a bit forced - like the author asked \"what's going to happen next\" instead of \"what *would* happen next.\" There were also a few continuity errors that took me right out of the plot - for example, in the first few chapters, Eli says that his ex left him. But then when...

The perfect marriage of two of my favorite things. Yep, this was such a good story! I'm a sucker for a fated mates story, liking the gravitational pull of it all so much. Gabe and Eli fell for each other hard after Eli let some of his baggage from his verbally abusive past relationship leave his mind. A book like this one is why I get so excited to read, because along comes something fresh and takes me on a journey. 📖✨🚀 The chapter titles were a fantastic edition; not a lot of authors do that...

I liked it but needs better editing for grammar (using “and I” instead of “and me”), general proofing for example “single bachelor” and calling out last sentence of chapt 31 titled “I’ve Got This” reads “I really do GO it.” (Jarring to read such bad proofing) and plot flow. Need to decide what Eli smells like! Changes several times. Tie in mating ceremony just plain weird. Not sure could read another one. )

Max Walker is an \"always read\" author for me. He has a fun adventurous style of writing that appeals to me. This series is a great idea too. I really like the trope of the supernatural world being revealed to the unsuspecting human. I would really like it if someone would write a book with a horse shifter! The backgrounds of these two men were appreciated to make the story more impact full with angst. And I appreciated the nods to diversity and of course, Lady Gaga. I loved Max's series with...

I wasn’t sure at first, I have to admit. For some reason the endearment “Buddy” was not my favorite. But I stuck in there for Eli and came through. I love that this isn’t your typical werewolf world. New rules and more magical than anything. ) One person found this helpful
