What an introduction to a new Pack!  You find out in the book that usually a mate will only show her/himself when the time is right.  So when Roan finds his mate at 16, you might think that that's young.  But when you find out that his mate is 10 years younger then it puts a whole new slant on it.  Tarrah Betts has done a wonderful job of using a new storyline and dealing with it in a superb manner.  In no way is this 'icky' or 'wrong'.  Roan becomes Aspen's big brother equivalent.  When everyone else in her short life has let her down, he is her go-to man.  If she needs him, he is there.  AND IT IS PURELY PLATONIC!!!  Just repeating that part again as one of the reviews I've read doesn't appear to have picked up on that.Of course, Roan is older than her and a Were so he knows that she is his mate and he loves and wants her but he is waiting to let her mature.  Aspen is a human and doesn't know that she is Roan's mate but she knows what she feels for him.  Of course, at 16 she feels that she is ready for anything when the world is really still there for her to explore.  Of course, there is a lot of time put into how gorgeous, ripped, muscular etc the Weres are, which was okay but really, for me, it's almost a given that most Paranormals are gorgeous.  I don't think I've read one yet with a less than stunning male or female!This book really dragged me in to the story.  I thought it was all very well thought out and the plot timing was brilliant.  To give different perspectives as a 26 year old Were and a 16 year old Human and make them fit and make sense must be hard to do but it makes for easy reading.  I loved how the wolf was almost a separate entity from Roan but still a symbiotic relationship.The ending is perfect for the book but leaves you teetering on a cliffhanger and also with a book hangover!  I was up most of the night trying to figure out which way the story will go.  If you like Paranormal Romance then definitely try this one.
