This is the story of Roy, a marine, turned into a werewolf when dying in service by his buddy to save his life. Once turned, the government keep hold of him knowing something is different about him, until he escapes. Roy is literally allergic to all technology. He camps in the barn of Laura's Father. Laura and Roy are drawn to one another but are both too messed up to peruse the connection. I found the story initially quite absorbing but it tapered off significantly and overall I struggled to finish it.

I'm torn between giving this book 4 and 5 stars, so I'm giving it 4.5 and rounding up. The only reason I'd be tempted to go lower is because there were a few spots where the book dragged --- I think it could easily have been 50 or 100 pages shorter and been a better book.
That said, the characters were good and I enjoyed the uniqueness of the world-building. Plus, I've noticed a rash of books lately about soldiers with PTSD, and this book really nails the topic, unlike the other books which seem like the author maybe read an article or two on the subject and then figured they could write about it. I wasn't surprised at all to read the author's note at the end and learn that she is a therapist specializing in PTSD.

Enjoyable werewolf romance with a fairly original take on werewolves that still stays true to reader expectations. Well written, with one of the best fictional depictions of PTSD I've seen, a heroine and hero who match each other in both badassery and vulnerability.
The femdom interludes are enjoyable for this kinky reader, but light enough that most vanilla readers won't find them a turn off (no toys, S&M or latex, just a man who likes being told what to do to please his partner and woman who likes telling him.)

Werewolves! PTSD! H/C! This was right up my alley in many ways. The couple is charming, the side characters are awesome, and I actually learned some coping strategies to deal with my PTSD.

This was written by someone I know online, and self-published. It doesn't have any of the romance troupes I dislike, and does have lots cute getting to know each other stuff. Also werewolves. The pacing isn't very tight, but I enjoyed it
