I knew from the first chapter the deep-rooted love Sully had for Jules, even though neither of them knew it at that time. It was the way Sully noticed Jules’ eyes. He was in love and had no idea. The first half of this book was coming of age. It was growing up and experiencing college and then meeting a pretty she-wolf, and then threesomes with her where the guys realize they’re drawn to each other.

The second half is pure sex and romance. It’s a slow build, a deep friendship, a love that defies…everything. It’s first shifts and howling at the moon and bathing in a river. The setting and descriptions captivated me and I stayed up finishing this one. So friggin good.

It’s kind of a role reversal too. Jules is extroverted and confident while Sully is introverted and gloomy. But when their wolves awaken, things are twisted around and y’all, some of THE hottest scenes I’ve ever read. 🔥

I wanted more. I want more. For this book to be slightly longer than a novella, it packs a punch. It’s sensual and addictive and passionate. I loved all the characters accept the Brothers and I wouldn’t be opposed to ever getting MORE.
