Blurb:
Call it fate, call it luck, but when a powerful wolf shifter walks into my life, everything changes.

Bel
I’ve made some stupid decisions in my life, and one in particular keeps coming back to haunt me. When I keep running into a handsome stranger, I know I should push him away, if only to keep him safe from my mess, keep him safe from me. But something inside of me—my heart, my magic, or my soul—keeps pushing me toward him, offering to make all my secret dreams come true. And I don’t know how to stay away.

Remi
When I travel across the world to open a new business—and get away from my overbearing family—the last thing I ever expect is to find the most beautiful and alluring fae I’ve ever met. I’m drawn to him, and I’m pretty sure if he lets his guard down, he’ll admit he’s drawn to me too. All I want to do is pull Bel into my arms and protect him from whatever he’s hiding. But he’s skittish and suspicious, and I just want to prove to him that he can trust me.

Fate, and a bit of luck, brought us together, and I’m not going to let it or anything else tear us apart.

Review

I was hooked on this story, and invested in the characters and their world immediately. I’m curious about the origins of the coin! I haven’t read any of the author’s Brinnswick series, but plan to remedy that very soon as I need to know more about Alin, Seb, and the rest of Remi’s family.

I loved how kind-hearted both Remi and Bel are, and how determined Remi is. He’s such a sweetheart and goes out of his way to help others, such as the homeless fae. Bel hides his good nature better but gets himself into a lot of trouble protecting his cousins. I liked how clueless both of them are about their connection.

The supporting cast are wonderful. I loved their families, and how they look out for each other. Remi’s friendship with Tan, Isa, and Savelle are a highlight. I loved everyone rallying around to take down the bad guy in an exciting showdown, and Remi’s dads’ reactions afterwards.

I always appreciate a cat in a story, and loved Orangelica.

I love the hints of what’s in store for the future. Remi and Bel’s HEA is sweet, and a satisfying conclusion to their story.

5 out of 5 stars.

About Anne Barwell

She is an avid reader across a wide range of genres and a watcher of far too many TV series and movies, although it can be argued that there is no such thing as “too many.” These, of course, are best enjoyed with a decent cup of tea and further the continuing argument that the concept of “spare time” is really just a myth.
