review 1: After his failure to protect the Aplha Anax, Alex wants to find the Dobson pack and get justice and redeem himself. When he realizes they didn't disband and are still together he knows he won't be able to take them on alone and he'll have to do something he dreads, call for backup. But before they get there he makes a shocking discovery, one he's not sure he can handle. Between his past and who it appears Fate has decided is for him can he overcome his obstacles and find peace within himself and happiness with those around him?Sean is been used as a punching bag for so long by his brother he doesn't know any other way, and when he's left to die in a horrific way he thinks no one will ever care, but when his delirium congures a man with beautiful bule eyes he's not sure he ... moreever wants to wake up. He's had a horrible past but can he overcome it in order to have a happy future?There's so much sorrow going on in this one you can't help but feel for the characters and want to encourage them to to overcome it all. Alex beats himself up over things that are not his fault but you can see his strength in how he wants to make up for his "mistakes". Sean has had such a hard life but he's still a good man and does what he can to help others even when it's not much. The two help to heal each other and make each other stronger than ever before and I loved seeign their story play out.
review 2: Pretty angsty for a series that has been primarily focused on the sexual aspect of the mated pairs. Sean suffered so much at his brother's hands and I hurt for him and what he'd undergone. I didn't care for Alex and while I appreciate that he too was hurt by Joshua my reaction was more of a 'Yeah, and?' rather than the sympathetic response it was supposed to engender. Others have mentioned and I agree that the big showdown was more of a fizzle than a bang. I assume Harley's involvement in such detail can only mean he will be the focus of a future story. If not his inclusion here is way too extensive. As with the previous installment, I felt the author toned down on the sex, but I feel like it could be dialed down further still to achieve a more cohesive story. And once again I have to mention the poor editing. less
