3.5 Stars ~ After thoroughly enjoying the first book in this series I was excited to jump into Jacko, Lavi, and Van's story. Jacko had already captured my heart at the end of Remy and Skylar's tale, and I was really rooting for him to get the happiness he truly deserves. After years of dealing with his evil mother and protecting his younger, human, sister, Jacko needs to be the first priority in someone's life. Lucky for him, he captured two vampire elders’ attention.
Jacko is still reeling in shock that a strong alpha like Remy let him into his pack, and risked his life to go save his little sister from his mom. I had already discovered in the previous installment that Remy is unlike most alpha wolves, due mainly to growing up and never being told he was an alpha, thus sparing him from the arrogance and conceit that most of them grow up having an abundance of. Remy is as democratic as you're ever going to find in a werewolf and Jacko is coming to realize how lucky he is to have found a home.
Jacko almost broke my heart. What he suffered at his mother's hands and the men she sold him to was a horrific betrayal and a disgusting version of a mother's love. When Lavi and Van show interest in wanting to court Jacko he's so confused. He wasn't raised in a pack and doesn't know protocol or even the basics of being a submissive wolf. It was so sweet to watch these three men mate and find love.
I definitely enjoyed the mystery portion of the plot revolving around who was behind the poisoning of vampire elders. I will admit, though, that my overall pleasure in this story was weakened due to inconsistencies that cropped up. However, I adored Jacko, and I really liked the little twist the author threw at me regarding the real names of Lavi and Van. The ending was a little over the top but I went with it for its creativity. A fun and easy read with hot men, and it doesn't get much better than that.
