Ember Bridger is a lone werewolf who has been traumatized by events of her past - her birth parents were murdered when she was three and when her wolf emerged for the first time when she was eleven, she inadvertently killed her foster parents. She has spent the rest of her life suppressing her wolf, only giving in during the full moon where she locks herself up to prevent herself from hurting anyone else. She has graduated college and works for a modeling agency in Colorado, where she has been given the opportunity to advance her career and has been successful in avoiding contact with any other werewolves.One evening, Ember meets Raze, a male werewolf from a nearby pack, who has been injured when Gnash, another werewolf in his pack, successfully challenges him for the position of Alpha in his pack. Ember feels compelled to help Raze, and brings him into her home to nurse him back to help, which brings about all sorts of conflicting emotions. Additionally, since Raze rarely spends time in human form, she must teach him how to act human. As feelings develop between the two, they must decide what each is willing to do for the other.I liked the premise of this story, but found that the third person perspective of the story to be distracting at times. Additionally, there were many spelling and grammatical errors within the story that were also distracting.There were many plot points touched upon in this story, but I often found myself thinking some of the dialogue was unrealistic, like when Raze reveals he has been looking for Ember for some time and she never pursues this further to find out how he knew about her and what he might know of her past. I'm assuming many of these points will be revealed in subsequent stories, but I think this story would feel more complete with some additional reveals.All in all, this was an entertaining read.
