Michael is a firefighter and wolf, if he isn't at the station, on a call or patrolling he is working out. Justin is a rare eagle who is a lawyer and shifter negotiator, he is alone and sees the relationships the wolves have and is fascinated. Michael and Justin are strongly attracted, but after sleeping together Michael runs and won't respond to Justin's texts and calls. Michael calls after two weeks, they hook up and...he runs. They are forced together through pack related work and decide to start again. They sleep together...and Michael runs hard. There are things in Michael's past he doesn't talk about but Justin has triggered traumatic memories. His wolf recognises Justin as their mate and that terrifies Michael because Justin can really hurt him. Justin's eagle recognises Michael as their mate and he is being hurt by Michael's behaviour. When Justin is shot in his eagle form things begin to unravel for Michael - how can he let Justin in? How can he not? And will Justin ever talk to him again after Justin's ultimatum which he failed? How do you apologise to your mate? Flowers (check), cleaning the drive of snow and ice (check), leaving a dead rabbit at the door (errrrr?).I have been waiting for this book for ages. I love the story and have been wanting the Michael story since we met him. There are some terrible editing issues here which is so disappointing considering how long we have had to wait for book four. I have taken off a star for that because really, it is distracting when there are missing words and misspellings. For all that I still enjoyed the story and look forward to the next installment...maybe with the Tigers?Note: these are not stand alone books. You will need to have read the series to make sense of what is going on.
