Declan and his twin, Lachlan, were born in captivity and used against their own kind by the hunters of werewolves. The Alpha's Ardor by Rebecca Brochu begins with Declan running for his life, and barely escaping, when a pack he hoped to join found out who he really is. He crosses into another pack territory and is saved by the pack alpha, Law. Law recognized immediately that Declan is his mate. Declan, because of past treatment from other packs, is leery of believing he may have finally found a safe place, a home, for himself and his twin, and love.Once Declan realizes this pack will accept him, regardless of his past sins, he starts to accept that maybe he no longer needs to run. Then, he and Law give in to their attraction and Declan proposes that the sex will suffice as payment enough for acceptance of both him and Lachlan. Law is hurt, disappointed, and angry that any pack would demand sexual payment for safety. He leaves Declan alone to decide what he wants and what he believes about Law and his packI love m/m shifter novels that involve knotting. I wish Brochu had written a longer, more in-depth knotting scene; it seemed a little rushed and I was looking forward to a hot, knotting sex scene! With that being said, I really enjoyed Declan and Law's story and hope it continues throughout any other books Brochu writes in the series.This was a great beginning to the series as it was made quite obvious that Lachlan may have met his match in Law's Beta, and brother, Trace. Where Declan is calmer and more methodical, Lachlan is the complete opposite and should be a good counterpoint to Trace.Needless to say, I eagerly await the next installment of the series if only to reunite the twins and watch the sparks fly between Trace and Lachlan.KymD's 3 sweet pea review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=12876
