First I want to say I’m a big fan of shifter books. I saw this story different than some of the other readers. I spent many years in my life as a single mother and can honestly say I understand the concept of being strong, yet deep inside you never lose that need for the one you love. This is a fantasy and I think people tend sometimes to forget that. In the Lycan world the author created, as in most werewolf novels it’s impossible to fight the call of your soul mate. In all that time she never loved another man because she still loved her Alpha.Kaden, as with most Alphas is prideful and that hurt pride prevented him from confronting her. There are many truths that come out about the original incidents that explain some of his attitude, but I won’t give that away. I personally think they both screwed up, but they did a good job in the end of fixing things.The fact that Kaden came into the picture right as she’s considering dating another man is inconvenient. I didn't like the new boyfriend much so it was no real loss. Taylor was a jerk, but in the end the author allows him some redeeming qualities to make up for it. I liked the little bit of mystery thrown in to liven things up. I immediately picked up on the clues written by the author so the traitor wasn’t a surprise to me, but I still enjoyed the twist in the story-line.Other than the grammar/spelling errors the only complaint I have is in the time frame. While I do understand the concept of falling back into someone’s arms that you love or the whole pride thing I find it difficult to rationalize his behavior in the shifter world. It seems off to me for a wolf to allow his mate and his child, even when pride is involved to remain unprotected for 17 yrs. The natural need to protect that the author portrays should have reared its head much sooner. Even if he didn’t force her home, he would’ve at the very least found a way to take care of her behind the scenes.This is more a 3.5 stars, but I’m bumping it up to 4 because of the lack of half ratings available. An abundance of spelling/grammar errors always means a loss of 1 star in my ratings. I believe the story itself to be entertaining and great for a quiet afternoon. Overall I enjoyed this quick read and would not object to reading other books by this author.
