Sean and Jem's love has only intensified as the years have passed, but recently Sean finds himself increasingly having to protect his mate from threats that wish to take her away. They invade his forest in the hopes of confirming Jem as the only female werewolf in known existence. Sean believes the answer in part is to keep Jem by his side forever with marriage as the first step. However, Jem struggles to believe he truly  desires out of love to bind himself to her fully. In response, Jem retreats to the one person who could possibly make sense of her conflicted feelings and shed light on her proposal predicament - her Mother. Unfortunately, there is still a physical threat to contend with who just won't take no for an answer, which means Sean will have to fight to prove his love for Jem and fight to prove he can keep her.With a surprisingly swift pace, the story is at once comical, romantic, and sexy while set during a historic time period that would seem anything but. From the story's onset, it is easy to believe and fall for Sean and Jem's fierce love for one another. Their erotic encounter that begins the story is not only attention-grabbing, but beautifully written. After that the story picks up speed with a determined step towards matrimony for one of my favorite paranormal couples. The interference of the town gossipers and mysterious forest trespassers create a subtle suspense in the storyline that left me wanting more, but attentions are easily diverted back to the Pack, Jem's family, and the couple themselves. I adored the way Sean shows how much he loves Jem while at the same time proving his strength to protect her. The story is told strictly from Jem's point-of-view and her character development is wonderful. They both prove how capable and worthy they are of each other.This novella is all the proof that is necessary in showcasing the author's talent in writing. The voices of the characters are clear and the story remained true in creating an escape to not just another time period, but with a look into the lives of two werewolves in love. Another engaging read that left me with the urge to grab the next Holloway story as soon as possible. This novella can be read as a standalone and should definitely not be missed by historical paranormal romance readers.
