3.5 stars. Would love to see this expanded into a full length novel. Great characters and I’d really like to see what happens beyond the end of this novella.

This prequel gives us a wonderful peek at Sean and Wolf. Wolf starts to show a little bit more of his personality - his sense of humour, a bit of softness and a love of blankets which had me laughing!
I’m looking forward to their full story which will be coming soon

What a fantastic way to finish this wonderful series.

David and Caolan have to find the perfect balance between saving the world from “genocidal supervillains” and embarking on a romance between two different species.
Let alone settling two more species on earth! Cultural differences come into play as does David’s hesitancy. As much as David tries to deny it, the chemistry between them bubbles away and when they do get physical heat levels rise.

All of the characters from previous books play their part with the usual hijinks included.
The overall story arc comes to its dramatic and very satisfying conclusion with the addition of an unforeseen plot twist.
I loved this very engaging and enjoyable instalment and couldn’t put it down. There’s a bit of angst - more so to do with the overall story arc - some humour and a beautiful romance that left me smiling.
Although this is the end of the series, a spin off series is promised and I will endeavour to “patiently” wait!

Rating : 4.5 stars.

Shaun (26) leads a busy life revolving around working and also caring for his father Peter who has Alzheimers. His is an unselfish life that leaves no time for anything let alone romance. Nathan (43) is an extremely compassionate, gentle and caring at home nurse who cares for Peter when Shaun is working. He is also the friend that understands what Shaun is going through and what support and comfort he needs.

This is a beautifully written slow burn, low heat, emotional romance between two characters that come together after months of a friendship that evolves from professional to personal. Peter, and the interactions with him by both Shaun and Nathan are written with such sensitivity and in the most caring of ways. Be prepared for some very emotional scenes that had tears quietly streaming down my face. There’s no angst in the romance element of the story but, naturally, there’s some angst in regards to Peter and the trajectory of his Alzheimers.

The characters from the previous books in the series are there for Shaun and we get to meet Nathan’s wonderfully loud and loving family including his mother who can cook up a storm, wrangle the family and has endless love to share. This is my favourite of the series so far and I look forward to more.
