Tyra has been living as a lone wolf since her pack was wiped out when she was a child.  When she meets Alpha Konrad she wants to keep her distance so she doesn’t go through the pain of losing anyone else. However, Konrad knows that Tyra is his mate and he is relentless in his pursuit of her.It’s a pretty common plotline.  Girl loses family young, pushes awesome guy ways to avoid getting hurt.  The difference here is they are shifters.  I enjoyed Konrad a lot.  He wants to be with Tyra so he sets out to prove to her that he s a worthy mate for her.  He doesn’t know about her past until about halfway through the book so he doesn’t understand why she is resistant of their mating at first.  I understood her point but her continual resistance did get annoying.I would have liked more time with the pack either before or after Tyra accepted the mating.  The group dynamics were very enjoyable to read.  I liked how the shifters seemed to operate a town. I would have liked to learn more about that.  There is discussion of needing more land and such and I wanted more on the world building. The author spent most of the beginning of the story building the relationship between Tyra and Konrad so the sex scenes are mostly packed into the end of the novella.I really enjoyed the world and characters introduced here and I hope Cavanaugh is far from done.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by Megan
