Jamie Farrow has been obvious in her attraction to the Beta of her pack, Dante Garcea. She has all but stripped naked and attacked him. Then one day she decides to pick up her ego and quit throwing herself at a man who isnt interested then suddenly Dante isnt happy about not having her undivided attention. But Jamie has a few big secrets shes keeping from her pack, and that makes her think getting involved with Dante could get complicated.
I love wolf/shifter stories and this one is excellent. The dynamics of the pack and its people are a first-rate back drop to the love story that is the obvious star. I got so wrapped up in the characters that I found myself crying a bit in empathy as one pack member repeatedly suffers heartache. Jamie and Dante are not easy characters to love, but once you do you find yourself feeling loyalty towards these two stubborn wolves. And the sex, by Goddess the sex, it is as raw and gritty as their personalities and fanflippintastic!
This is the second book in the Phoenix Pack Series. I admit I havent read the first one, and if it is half as good as this second book, I definitely feel like I am missing out. Luckily while reading I did not, however, feel like I was lost. The author gives enough background information to bring us up to date. Had this book not been so good, I could have easily gone without ever reading the first. But this book was that good and I want to read the first book now, I want all the detail that started this series out. I really enjoyed it.
So why only 4 stars? Some of the dialogue and name calling between Dante and Jamie felt really disingenuous to me like the author was trying too hard to make the characters voices tough. It was over the top for me, and not at all necessary.
Other than that this story was fabulous. I will be reading the first one to kill the time while I pine for the third!
