Review: One wolf is straight and the other gay, they are true mates so the gay Alpha has his work cut out - awkward!

I like the book, but there are some issues that stopped me giving it four stars.Eli is a born Beta and he's left his home pack , run by his father, because of something he just can't stomach.  Eli finds his friend, Jai, who had been expelled from the Pack for being gay.  Jai has joined another Pack with a gay Alpha, Kellan.  Eli has to ask Kellan to take him into his pack because he is weeks away from going rogue and having to be put down - he needs a pack.He sees Kellan and his straightness comes immediately into question because, damn, that wolf if big and butch and beautiful.  The attraction is mutual but Kellan has a type...twink.  Eli is so not a twink and is livid when Kellan kisses him in front of everyone while still involved with the latest twink, Tracy.  Obviously the path of the true mates is not going to run smooth.  Between conniving twinks, psychotic wolves, a kidnapping, forced breeding and a danger to the pack how will the two mates come together?I like the story but there is a big build up to the mating and then you are left thinking...is that it? Really?  How easy. There is lots of peril and danger and obvious future story lines but where is the vengeance, the relationship building (not just the hot and heavy).  And I know there is mating heat but really, Eli was straight(ish), he needs no time to adjust to his new role?And for the love of a time-piece, stop saying people will be there in ten minutes.  That was used twice and the first time they didn't arrive at all but within the supposed ten minutes a bunch of twinks take out a couple of wolves and then there is this whole plot that I won't ruin for you...how long is ten minutes?  And then later, before the carnage, again we are told ten minutes before help arrives. I hate it when people are late!Anyway, I do like the book and will be watching out for the next release of the Great Lakes Wolves.  Good new series.
