Same One

Same #5

by T.S. Joyce

Tabian Garr has a secret life outside of the Rogue Pack. He’s been hiding what he does for a career, and for a very important reason. But when a beautiful human in a coffee shop talks to him, he thinks it might be time to expose what he really is. She’s mysterious in ways that call to his wolf and makes him want to find out everything about her. She’s dragging a lot of baggage, but for Tabian, the hard parts of her life are right up his alley. A little damage on a gorgeous woman is so sexy to a man like him, and especially if he can rise to the challenge of earning her trust. Tru has some big secrets of her own though, and they could change the make-up of Tabian’s entire Pack. She’s dragging danger with her, and now Tabian has to figure out where to take them from here.

Tru is at rock bottom and trying to dig out of a hole that her ex put her in. Tabian is the exact creature she has been searching for, but not for herself. She needs a werewolf to help the boy she’s been raising. When Tabian sets his sites on her, however, she is equal parts excited and terrified. He is a monstrous werewolf and she’s been around his kind before. They are brutes, but Tabian seems different. He seems like the kind of steady she has always wished for. Trust is impossible for a woman who has been through what she has, but the more Tru pushes Tabian away, the more he is proving not all men are bad. And maybe…just maybe…if she tells him why she is really hanging around, he can save her from certain disaster.

Don’t miss this full-length emotional and exciting fifth installment in T. S. Joyce’s bestselling Same series, where alliances are tested, friendships are on the brink, love runs deep, loyalty is everything, and war is always on the horizon.

There was something oddly sweet about this one. From how Tru and Tabian met, to how they started talking, to Tru always being in Bay's corner, to Tabian and the rest of the group having Bay's back form the minute they met him. Sure it wasn't pretty at first, but it was tough love and needed. I really liked how this one ended, loved seeing everyone happy and family declared.

I liked this book until about 75% in. There was a huge continuity discrepancy that I could not get over.

Tru is caring for her stepson. She says in Chapter One that Bay's mother has "passed away" and that the father signed over rights to her. However, in Chapter Fifteen the storyline switches and Bay says he speaks to his mother and was texting her as recently as a year ago. I thought that the difference would be explained that she "passed away" within the last year, but it was never addressed.

I have read a lot of TS Joyce books and have never seen an error like this before. Very odd and out of character for her writing.

Tabian's strength

T S Joyce has created another series with storylines that draw the reader in and provide satisfaction of a just conclusion.
Tabian is part of the rogue pack but still holds himself slightly apart. Meeting Trump and her stepson opens a new path for all of them to find that part of themselves that needs connections and understanding. Well written and very enjoyable.

TS Joyce books are like comfort food. As soon as a new one comes out I drop all the other books to read it. This one was as good as the others in this series. Tabian and Tru were so sweet together and it was amazing to watch Tabian heal her hurts from previous relationships. Where do I find one like that? Tears and giggles reading this one. I'm sad there's only one more left in this series. I've really enjoyed this crew.

All the feels

This one just hits different in all the best ways! It’s a roller coaster of feelings and struggle that just fits with how this pack is turning out and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for them!!!

TS Joyce is my favorite

Every time TS Joyce releases new book, I stop any other books I am reading and can't put her books down. Same One was very emotional and made me cry as always. I love great story and this was a roller coaster. Can't wait for the next book!

Same one was so good couldn’t put it down

Tru, Bay and Tabian’s story was so unexpected but so moving. I loved the interactions between all the characters and the added mystery at the end. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. T.S. Never disappoints!

My favorite author does it again! I absolutely loved all of the characters but Tabien was my favorite. I love me a spicy book and the spice in this was low but it was done so well that I didn’t even miss it. I can’t wait for Bridger’s story and hopefully get a glimpse of how Bay is doing! <3

[SumFire · Rating 5 out of 5]

T. S. Joyce came through with all the feels in this step-parents trope.

Bridger's story up next and last in the series unless Bayen’s gets a story. A girl can hope!
