Stars: 4
First off, let
me say I’m a huge fan of Bailey’s. I’ve read a lot of her stuff and am totally
hooked. I also want to mention a blog story called My Life Without Garlic at her blog: Bailey’s
Playroom. Check it out, seriously. I promise you will fall over laughing at
one certain human.
Bio:
A native
Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has
contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings
are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours.
Sleep? Doesn't happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many
characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey's brain demanding to be let out.
Caffeine and
chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey's office and are never far from hand
at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey's presence
can result in what is known as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised
under any circumstances.

Blurb:
When Gabriel
Staley rescues a magnificent black wolf, he has no idea that destiny has just
turned up the heat and brought him his mate, sexy shapeshifter Mika Blackwell.
Gabriel Staley was used to being an outcast in the small town of Shasta, Texas. More concerned with rescuing stray dogs from a cruel death at the hands of the local Sheriff, Gabe focuses on making a difference and standing up for what he believes is right. Mika Blackwell, a shape shifter who was banned from his pack, is new to the outcast status, and not adjusting very well.
When Gabe heads out to rescue an injured wolf, he has no idea that his life is about to be eternally altered. As Mika watches the man approach him, he feels the universe tilt and realises that, while he may have lost his pack, he's just found what every shifter longs for - his destined mate.
Together, Gabriel and Mika must find their way and fight for their love—from confronting Mika's former pack leader to stopping someone who tries to kill Gabe's best friend, Todd. When Todd's attacker comes after Gabe, Mika is determined to protect his mate at all costs.

The Manic Monday REVIEW:

Shasta, Texas.
Welcome to the South, where racism of all forms is alive and well. Gabriel
Staley lives on the outskirts of town. Being gay here can be a problem. Little
does Gabe know how much more complicated his life will become when he rescues a
black wolf. But what choice does he have when he knows stray dogs in Shasta are
being killed by Sheriff Kaufman? He saves the wolf, and I have to admit, that
scene got to me, lol. Now the wolf is at the vet, being looked after by Gabe.
Which would be fine, if the wolf was just
a wolf.
Thrown out of
his pack by his Alpha for being gay (keep that in mind for future reference
lol), Mika Blackwell is fighting just to survive. He knows immediately that the
lovely human Gabe is his mate. Of course, Mika really needs to shift if he
wants to talk to his mate. And he can’t do that as long as he’s caged. Then the
fun starts lol.
This is a
great book, and a wonderful start to a series. There’s the mate bond, the explanation
of pack hierarchy, and hot mate sex. ;)
