The Wolf at Bay by Charlie Adhara
4.0
4.5 Lovely Stars!
Whelp.
This sequel did not fail me.
Admittedly, it drove me quite bonkers but really really incorporated so many things I love in a romance where I have a soft spot for not only law enforcement MC’s but also the exact situation where there is so much doubt and insecurity and the small baby steps of wins is just so gratifying because you're waiting on the edge of your seat for some grand gesture but all you get is a small look or twitch or that rarely heard endearment and your heart clenches with joy with each instance.
That’s what happened here. Sparse in the romantic overtures but still meaty enough to fuel that want and longing.
Despite my rambling this is still a mystery at its core, and while Cooper and Park are contemplating or avoiding or ignoring their budding feelings for the other, they have to deal with Cooper’s dad being accused of murder.
Beware unreasonable familial expectations and being in the closet with said family. Beware miscommunication or no communication between these two knuckleheads but when they do make their proclamations, I swooned like an idiot. Cooper continues to be his usual snarky self, putting his foot in it over and over. And Park?? Seriously?? This sexy alpha werewolf is all I want for Christmas! Pretty please?! Unf.
A compelling page turner and I finished this in a day. That’s the real indication of an absolute obvious win!
