Review: Great New Series
Rating: 4 out of 5

Not a new idea, but the writing is very well done and the characters are three dimensional. Plus, it's not just jump into bed every other page - there is real plot here that allows the reader to follow the characters you like from the previous book.Johnny is a beautiful soul - innocent but mistreated by his brother, both verbally and physically. The brother is a control freak and Johnny is his ward, despite being 18 years old. Johnny has also been diagnosed as mildly retarded which seems more like childlike innocence than an incapacity to learn.The abuse is real, but subtle and so the brother flies under the radar.Hawk discovers that Johnny is his mate and takes him away from his brother - but treats Johnny like the treasure he is. Of course the brother comes back into the plot - but I won't give that away.In fact, all the pack cares for Johnny -- and Johnny shows up in the later books in the series. He's a great character and I'm glad I read the book.So why didn't I give it 5 stars? I like the series and I will definitely buy the rest as they come out -- but I save 5 stars for books with unique world-builing and much longer plotlines.All in all, I hope that this author continues to write and that, perhaps, in later books she'll give us a little more.
