Seven years later, my new life began.

It's been seven years since Lexi Knight lost her brother in a tragic accident. On the anniversary of his death, her brother's best friend shows up unexpectedly - a man she hasn't seen since the funeral. He is no longer the boy Lexi once knew, but a dangerous-looking man with tattoos and dark secrets. He broke her trust and abandoned her family, yet what he reveals makes it impossible to stay angry. Lexi has been secretly infatuated with Austin since childhood, so finding out he's a Shifter just makes him sexier. Dammit.

Austin Cole has returned to the city where he grew up, and just in time. He's lived a hard life these past seven years, and the shadows of his past are threatening to destroy Lexi's family. It's time that she learned the truth about her brother, but there is a shocking twist that Austin never saw coming. Now he must protect her family when her mother and sister wind up in mortal danger. Will Lexi learn to accept the truth about who he is, and can Austin salvage a relationship from the ruins of their past?

Rate & take

A fracture family and secrets. Those things can make a good foundation for any story. This one mixes in a colorful neighbor and mysterious hot guys to make a heady cocktail of enjoyment. As soon as I finished I didn't waste any time and I dove right into the next book in the Seven series, Five Weeks, review to follow. I loved the way the main character spoke and thought, down to earth with just a touch of crazy behind it, made her feel very real. This book is some paranormal fun, can anyone say, here wolfie, wolfie, wolfie?!
