3-3.5 starsThis was a good story. I liked Shadow and the story in general but Glory was not my favorite heroine by a long shot.Glory is a goth and a BBW that gets caught in a plane crash that propels her and the rest of the passengers (the ones that survive) 50 years in to the future. Glory had been on the plane for a job interview and is happy she lived through the crash but when she seeks out help and discovers the world in now 50 years in to the future and everything has changed drastically...well Glory doesn't take that very well.Shadow is part of the wolf clan and lives on the plains with his people. He's a wolf shifter and the beta for his clan, destined to be the alpha after his father steps down. He's been waiting a long time for his mate and when he finds Glory and another woman walking out on the empty plains he's thrilled to discover that she's his mate but winning her isn't as easy as he'd hoped.When Shadow and Glory meet, Shadow tells her the truth about himself but doesn't tell her she's been propelled in to the future and she tries making assumptions about him...trying to figure he and the others are out in the middle of no where for a movie or something. She's quite willing to have sex with Shadow but balks when it becomes apparent that he's talking about more than just one night together. Glory is told about her situation (being in the future) but Glory is in heavy denial at first and keeps thinking she can call to get her interview rescheduled and get back to her life. When she's finally convinced that she's in the future and her situation has changed dramatically, she still isn't kind to Shadow and pushes him away and to be honest she was being rather mean to him. Glory kind of took the story down for me at times because I had trouble with her constant attitude and the way she treated Shadow. In the mean time, the other survivors from the plane (who amazingly are all females...um, really!?!?) arrive at the camp and Glory is busy helping to tend the wounded and such and Shadow is told to give her some time and let her get settled in to her new situation.After a bit of time with the clan, Glory does eventually calm a bit towards Shadow and eventually they go to bed with each other, consummating their relationship. Since Shadow was a virgin, this part was a little on the humorous side as Glory had to explain what to do and such. There's plenty of drama as the story progresses because even though Glory and Shadow are together she hasn't really let up on him. The thing is that Glory is supposed to be an "alpha" female and I think her attitude was supposed to indicate how she wouldn't be owned or anything but many times it seemed like she was just being stubborn and belligerent for no reason. I mean Carla from book #1 was also supposed to be an alpha female but she didn't act like Glory... Because of some of the drama, Glory and Shadow are separated for the winter and Glory realizes just how much she's come to love Shadow. When they come together again she admits her feelings and they start their HEA.Overall I enjoyed the story. Shadow was a good hero...he's alpha and tends to be bossy but overall he was a good guy who just wanted his woman and would do anything to please her. Glory did settle a bit as the book progressed but I have to admit her attitude made it hard for me to get invested her. Regardless of Glory bringing this book down a bit for me, I still intend to read book #3 in the series. :D* note - I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator did an alright job but I wasn't thrilled with Glory's voice...a little too  butch.
