When Lucas heard Jacob Gideon's voice on the news he decided to see what was going on ever after 15 years of not having anything to do with him. What he saw was a sick little girl and her attractive mother, Blythe. Why would this woman agree to allow Jacob to heal her daughter when Lucas knew exactly what Jacob was capable of? Did Blythe know what dangers she was putting her daughter in? And how could Lucas face the past that had been haunting him to help save these two and would he be able to face his past?

Blythe tried everything within her power to find a way to cure her daughter, Hailey's deformed heart. After doing research on Jacob Gideon she thought he was worth a shot to see if he could cure Hailey since she had been on a waiting list for 4 years to see the Pack Healer. Finding herself locked in her room without her daughter, Blythe breaks out and runs into Lucas. Will Blythe be able to believe Lucas that he's not associated with Jacob and will Lucas ever be able to allow another person to fit into his life?

I liked the book and I loved all the twist and turns that Blythe and Lucas found themselves in to save Hailey. I can understand some of the fear that Blythe went through do to her daughter's disappearances.

I really enjoy reviewing books. It is hard though when I read a book that I did enjoy but I found it for the most part to be totally average for the genre. There were a couple things that did stand out for me though.



First of all was Blythe's strength when it came to her daughter. She would do whatever was needed to rescue and protect her. This helped her to battle her wolf when a human's cooler head was needed. She made some decisions that had me scratching my head when it didn't involve Hailey but no one can fault her mothering instincts.

The one thing that really had me puzzled though was when Blythe was fitted with a leg holster which was supposed to be concealed by her jeans. I don't know of any women who wear their jeans loose enough to hide a gun unless they were planning on this before they got dressed for the day. This scene actually bothered me enough as I was puzzling it out to pull me way out of the story.

But what it really comes down to is the fact that I did enjoy the book though I doubt I would go out of my way to follow this series. Now mind you, your mileage may vary and if you enjoy paranormal romances, you might want to give it a try.

1 out of 5 stars. I read this novel through NetGalley... I'm sorry I really wanted to like this novel, especially since I could tell it has plenty of potential. However, I just couldn't stay with it. For one, it had a slow beginning--for me at least--and didn't seem to get much faster as the story progresses. Yet I will admit if I had read any of the other books in this series before--and liked them--that might have helped, but I hadn't. I read up until I was 60% through with the novel (per my kindle) but by the time I was at 70% I skimmed some scenes and then I couldn't stand reading it any more.

I recommend this novel only to those who like the series.
