Wolves of Stone Ridge

review 1: It was so fun picking up the story of two previous secondary characters and seeing them come together in their own story. Brice Gaithers was the secondary character in 'Kyle's Valiant Hunt' a previous Wolves of Stone Ridge series book and Valerius was a minor character in 'Saving Perrin's Life' a Kontra's Menagerie book. And if that isn't good enough, the story also brings in several recurring characters and adds to Raven and Liam's story line from their book. I suppose based on all that I've said, it would be a good time to mention that this book isn't a stand alone. Haha!Brice had a horrific intro to shifters so now wants nothing to do with them, but after a nightmare attack in a club bathroom and being saved by the big attractive Valerius he thinks his luck might be... more turning.Valerius has gone a long time and experienced his own hardships not really even looking for a mate, but imagine his surprise to discover his mate where he least expects to find him. Now if he can just convince Brice and keep ahead of the dangers from his past, he might stand a chance at happily ever after with a mate of his own.This was one of the best stories I have read in both series. It had the wonderful fun of who the mates were, but there was both a good strong internal and external plot thread besides that too. I love how the author goes back and either wraps up or pushes along each dangling plot thread (even ones that I forget about). There was just a hint at Val's character the one time he was introduced a while back, but I liked what I saw and how could I have forgotten about poor Brice. Instantly upon seeing him in the story I was glad that he was getting his own chance. The new characters particularly Samson were great additions. Samson was so cute the way he pined after his Helena.Now I must patiently wait for the next installment. I love these books so that is hard.
review 2: 3.5 starsThis sounds soooo familiar but unable to pinpoint from where. (Guy walks into bathroom to see his mate having sex with someone else as a first meet… Lynn Hagen Christian’s coven or another Stone ridge book maybe)Even with the mate bond, getting it on in any way after being attacked was rushing things way too fast for me. At the very least emotional scars should be getting in the way a bit to impede the relationship.Once everyone knows everyone else’s secrets (human knows about shifters and Val is a shifter) we see that it’s not that Brice hates shifters just that he’s been unable to get past the first trauma of being introduced into the paranormal world enough to relax around them.Things move pretty quickly from here, like most of the books in this series. The conflict resolution at the end turned out to be entertaining.As with a few others I'm not sure WHY it's a wolves of stone ridge series book thou. The mate is a lion AND they are not from or settle in Stone Ridge, just come across each other there. less
