First off I have to state that I usually really enjoy Eden Cole's books. I truly enjoyed the first book in this series 'Not My Wolf.' Then I made the mistake of reading this one.To begin with, the entire romance between Blaine and Gamble takes place completely in bed and rather quickly with not much talking in between. I probably could have handled that and been okay with the book, giving it two, if not three stars at the absolute most, if not for one extremely serious flaw in the story, at least for me.SPOILER ALERT READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...............................................If you have read the first book in the series 'Not My Wolf' then you know the love story between the 'straight' alpha Corey and another alpha Devin. Great, and what I believed was a monogamous, romance between them. Then within a few chapters of this book, after Blaine has already met his mate Gamble but refuses to believe it, he is feeling horny and instead of sending him down to the local bar to get laid, the alphas decide that they need to take care of their pack member and an otherwise hot menage takes place.Now don't get me wrong, I love a good menage as well as the next person, but this scene was completely and totally out of the blue and unnecessary. I know what the author was trying to do with this scene to move the story along, but it was so completely and utterly out of character for the alphas if you read the last book, that it was just not believable, not to mention that it broke my heart. Explain to me how a 'straight' wolf who finds his male mate suddenly wants to have sex with other males?If you don't mind open relationships with sharing partners than this scene probably won't bother you at all. But if the author has already changed the direction of the male romances so drastically in only the second book of this new series than I just really don't want to read what other relationships she is going to ruin in future sequels. So that's the end of this particular series for me. I just wish I had never read this sequel because now it has totally ruined the enjoyment of the love story between Corey and Devin from the first book. Plus I'm not sure I could completely forgive Blaine for it either having already met his mate. It's not like they didn't have A LOT of sex within a day of the menage anyway.
