About this book
I survived exile. I might not survive wanting my stepbrother.
He’s my fated mate who rejected me—
and now he’s my boss… acting like he gets a second chance.
I was eighteen when the pack exiled me for being the only wolf who couldn’t shift.
Years later, the pack calls me back—and I return because of him.
Darius Moonvale.
My stepbrother. The Alpha heir.
The only boy who was ever kind to me—
until he stood beside his father and called me weak.
I expected cold indifference.
I didn't expect a groveling Alpha Boss to want me.
His apology language? Absolute, ruthless obsession.
Draping me in diamonds and designer dresses.
Surprising me with a puppy because he knows I'm lonely.
Taking a brutal, bloody beating from his father just to shield me from the pack's wrath.
But the worst part?
My wolf is finally waking up—hungry and aching for the man who ruined me.
He used to call me weak.
Now, he’d start a war to keep me.

This was my first book by this author. I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad I happened upon an excerpt of it that hooked me right away. The hero is so gone for her, but other factors make him hesitant to claim her. This is a fated mates, wolf shifter romance. Their love is a touch taboo. There is a betrayal and a grovel (but not over the top). The hero is definitely J/P. The spice was good too. I did feel like the end was rushed. I wanted more. And I'm not sure if the lingering loose plot threads...

I throughly enjoyed this and couldn't put it down, a good start to a new series. Well-written story full of action, with fated mates, chemistry, love, romance, rejection, secrets, twists and great character development. I highly recommend! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. )

Great suspense, but it would have been nice to see more happy ending for other characters in the story! Like the girl who lost her mate, could have been a hybrid and when Damien changes the law he comes back to be with her! )

Hooked from beginning to end. I could even overlook some questions that I don’t recall being answered, like how did violet’s mom meet and get into a relationship with Darius’s dad? What happened during Violet’s time in Europe? Aren’t there packs who supported Darius’s dad and were anti hybrids too? WTH happened to Zion??? That man needs to be stopped in the most brutal way possible. Anyway i could overlook those questions never being answered because of the satisfying way the story unraveled....

I liked that this story did not have inconsistencies that is common in other shifter romance stories. It is well-balanced and well-written. No sub plots to distract us from the live story. No inflated villainous acts that are ridiculous. Just undiluted love story with a side of family dynamics. The hero truly loved the heroine but his weakness was lack of decisiveness. The heroine is strong and innocent and loving. It was her who rejected the hero because she had to stand up for herself. But...
