I read the description and decided to pick this one up. Good decision on my part. This one has a bunch of alpha male shifters and a great plot. The alpha part isn't always my cup of tea. It can be over done to the point of my not bothering to finish. That's where this book is different. 

I loved the world the author created. I thought the plot well thought out. Plus, I'm a sucker for kick-butt women who know what they want and go get it. 

I see there is another one in the series. Good. I stayed up far too late to finish this one. I'm going to be more careful with the next one. I'll wait until the weekend so I can start it during the day and read the whole thing. 

Looking for a good shifter novel with a hint of space romance? Give this one a try.  

 

A great read. 

England in the last days of the war is where this twisted tale begins. 

The messenger delivers the news no woman with several children wants to hear, their father, her husband isn't coming home.  His plane has gone down during a bombing run and he's missing in action. 

She's found a way to keep things going at home but now that the war has ended, she doesn't know what she will do to keep going. The family business is much more than she can handle alone. 

But that's not where the book opens. It begins with one daughter, Faith, coming to her with what she worries may be distressing news. The girl's demeanor has her on edge. 

The story bounces between her present and the past. That is handled quite well by the author. I didn't have any problem keeping up. To quote Dad, "this has more twists than a dog's hind leg" and they are all easy to follow. 

The new neighbor then the possible return of her husband after she marries the new Italian neighbor.... Well you just need to read this one. It's a corker. 

 A little male/male romance anyone?

 

 

  

There are only a few genres I won't read. 

Male/male romance isn't high on the list neither is it on the bottom. The cover caught my eye first. The description finished the job. This is more than a genre book. It is an intriguing story about people and what makes them who they are. That the two people dancing around each other are both male is almost coincidental.
These days there are a dearth of first person books running around which might be better in third. This is not one of those. I'm giving this one a well deserved five stars. Exceedingly well done. Great read. 

 

Spare Room

 

 

Here's one by E.M. Denning that's a little different. 

Alex feels like a failure. He abandoned Tristan for big dreams and has nothing to show for it all now.

Sometimes that smouldering ember of love can reignite and cause all kinds of trouble.  My first question, what is Tristan looking for when he has Ben, got answered rather quickly. First loves never quite die. We've all read of couples, first loves, finding themselves in love again after years apart. For some of us there isn't a chance in hell it's going to happen. 

Lovely read that explores first love.
