He reached out for Aaron, wanting to reassure himself that the other man was okay. He froze as his fingers met soft fur rather than warm skin. He opened his eyes and looked to his left. Lying beside him was a wolf. A beautiful dark gray wolf whose ears twitched as Marshall ran his hand over his head and down his flank. Well, that explained why he was so warm.

This one was fun and low angst. The premise of it really intrigued me as I’ve never read a book quite like it before, where two fated mates *almost* meet but don’t connect, and slowly get sick from being apart. That part was really interesting, and the final few chapters were really entertaining. Unfortunately it was quite slow and repetitive for a large chunk of the book. Nothing really wrong with it, I just got bored.

The spice was good and the couple felt ‘truly’ versatile, where they both enjoyed topping and bottoming equally, which made me realize I don’t read that a lot. There was also a cute scene where they cuddle while Aaron is in wolf form, which was cute.

“Let me guess. Slow but steady weight and muscle mass loss? Crippling pain that started out as an ache but is now to the point where no painkiller can help? Headaches that can take you out for days?”

“Once you’ve met with Aaron and the Pack Elders, you’re more than welcome to shift, Mr. Sinclair, and enjoy our facilities.,” Anna told him. “Umm, thank you,” Saint replied. Marshall nudged him in the ribs, and Saint smirked at him. Give the man a body of water, and he’d be in it all day. Give him a box, and well, you’d never know that Saint was a bad-ass ex-Special Forces operator.

Cats will be cats.
