Excellent world building and engaging characters
Combining a marriage of convenience with becoming a werewolf is an interesting setup I haven’t come across before, so my attention was caught immediately. The setup also gave a certain sense of urgency, so there was some tension (but not too much) and a good reason for the characters (and the plot) to keep moving forward.
I really liked Lydia’s strength and determination. She stood up not only for her pack, but on occasion for Case, too. I loved that Case wasn’t just the answer to the immediate problem, but his perspective also had a great deal of value to Lydia and to the pack. Both characters had some nice growth over the course of the story, something that’s always a big plus for me.
It was also lovely to get a MMC who was just an all around good guy. I’ve never really gotten into the book boyfriend thing, because as entertaining these guys are to read about, they’d be just about impossible for me to live with in real life. Case, though…Case I’d take home in a heartbeat, lol.
With engaging characters and a feel-good storyline of good people coming together in the face of a threat, this was the book I didn’t know I needed right now.
