What an adventure this story was. I'm not deep into the wolf shifter world so all this was still pretty new to me and I absolutely loved it. I was a little weary at the beginning because I didn't realize that it was a "which will she choose" situation (that's on me, I didn't catch it on the trope card 😅) and I don't usually like love triangles, but this was good.
Roxy moved to a small town in Northern California to hopefully just live a normal, quiet life. She has crushed on her long time friend and tattoo artist Carl and when things begin to pick up between the two of them Roxy unexpectedly meets a naked man outside her shop. When she finds his wallet and goes to return it to him everything is turned upside down when he asks her on a date. When she accepts the offer she has no idea she's agreed to a date with the Alpha of the largest pack in this part of the country. Braxton knows from the moment he scents Roxy who she is and how important she is to the pack. Only problem he sees is Carl and his sudden need to sway Roxy to be his.
I absolutely loved Brax all the way around. For me he wasn't really toxic or overbearing or pushy. He did at points keep things from Roxy, but it was never in a "you don't need to know" way but always in a "I'll tell you when it's relevant" way. His desire and need to protect her was top tier and the way that he adores and cherishes her is swoon worthy. Roxy was so relatable from beginning to end. Her struggle in navigating her old feelings for Carl and her new feelings for Brax was refreshing in a lot of ways. Her shift from being uncertain of what she's doing to knowing without the shadow of a doubt that this life is hers was *chef's kiss* Mutt 🤭🤭🤭 Not only did I really love both Brax and Roxy, but I loved a couple side characters too. Shout out to Zane and Aurora. The way they supported Roxy and encouraged her questions and validated her fears was beautiful. A girl that grew up with nothing growing into a woman that has everything, beautiful. I cannot wait for the next one.
I'm so glad I found T.L.Sawyer! Just one book and I'm hooked on her writing!
If you're looking for a sexy shifter romance, look no further!
Roxy is an independent badass who owns a cute shop and snags the attention of her biker co-worker. That is until an unbelievably hot alpha shows up, naked, in the alley behind her store!
Seriously! Go read this asap! I'm counting down the days until book two is released!
This is an exciting new author who knows what readers like…broody men, a bit of arrogance, rivalry, a spicy female character, Roxy, who has a way with words and who shows a lot of humor, and who yearns to be full-filled (in more ways than one!) I loved how she ended each chapter…it was hard to put down. A short book that leaves the reader excited for future volumes. Her characters are well-defined and interesting. The interaction with the personalities of the pack is fun and leaves the reader wondering how each will fit into this scenario. I am not usually into shape shifters , even tho “Twilight” captured my attention and made me want to go to Twisp, WA, to experience the vibes of the story. I like that this story was set amongst the redwood forests with local references. Keep delivering…you are an exciting new author!
