I love this book. The asexual romance novel of my dreams. 
When I read this series as a whole, I always forget about the magic of this book. The heartbreak and heart healing. 
It always hits me upside the head and makes me weep and then warms my soul. 

For my romance fans, what this book lacks in spice, makes up for in dick jokes and honestly, I couldn’t be happier.

I really enjoyed the first half and felt surprised by plot beats, but the second half was pretty predictable and a bit repetitive. Still really appreciate a queer love story.

3.0

 

This third book in the series focuses on Kelly, brother to Joe and Carter, and Robbie who came to the pack by accident in Wolfsong. As much as I was interested in their romance because of the hints in the previous two books, this book did not work for me. 

I'm just going to come right out and say it. I found this book extremly boring. As said I was interested in their romance and coming together. But that was skipped and Robbie and Kelly finding each other through the memory loss was not the same thing. I felt that I was missing a piece. It didn't help that we started with Robbie who remembered nothing of his pack and I wasn't sure if this was a history thing or a memory loss thing at first. Their romance towards each other was meh and I was not feeling the connection on the page. 

I will also say that I feel it was a cop out to have him remember everything way at the end and not have him deal with the repurcusions of his own memories. He did that with the actual people it concerned, or rather they did with him. But actually having those memories back is a different thing and to me one of the most important things if you are going to give a character their memories back. It will still change things. 

However I did appreciate how it was dealt with between Robbie, Rico, Chris and Tanner. Those three aren't just a hang on but an important part of the pack and they really got to shine in this book. As always I loved the pack dynamics. Even though it didn't quite work for me, there were still places that made me laugh out loud.
