Originally posted at [...]Can two alpha rivals fall in love? What if one feels betrayed by the other?Hayden Garrett has been attracted to Josh Peterson for a very long time. The main problem with the attraction is Josh is not gay. Hayden also feels that Josh makes fun of him every time they are around each other. When Hayden is home for a break from college, Josh talks him into spending time together first as wolves out running and playing. After changing back Hayden and Josh share a kiss, or at least that is all Hayden remembers. That same night something horrible happens to Hayden and Josh.This story goes back and forth between the present time and the night five years ago that things went so horribly wrong for the two men. The only negative to this story is the going back and forth is rather confusing. The story itself is very good and Ms. Cooper really made me feel for both Hayden and Josh. Hayden cannot remember everything that happened five years ago and is very bitter since he thinks Josh betrayed him by testifying in Court that Hayden was driving drunk and killed someone, leading to Hayden spending time in jail. I could also feel Josh's frustration in trying to get Hayden to remember what happened and all that he endured five years ago. Josh is also hurt by the anger he feels coming from Hayden, when he knows the truth that they are mated.Ms. Cooper has told a good story with Hayden and Josh. She makes you feel compassion for her characters and all they go through together in the past and what they go through in the present to work their way back to each other. I recommend Bound By Nature for fans of m/m and paranormal works.
