Review

Simon joined the army to help serve his country, the four years he spent away from those of his kind left him withdrawn and now he stays in his wolf form all the time. Rose never had a family of her own, she doesn't think that anybody will stay. Now someone wants to usurp the Le Beaus hiding in the shadows using other people to achieve this goal, denying the Le Beaus their mates could be their downfall. Can Simon find the strength to do what he needs to to keep Rose. Will Rose find the love she needs and get the family she has always wanted. Can the Le Beau family stop the power hungry forces intent on destroying them? This book is the second book in the Le Beau brother series, this book is an entire novel but I would recommend reading the Cade the first book in the series before this one to get a better understanding of the backstories and relationships. Not only did I really enjoy the first one, I bought this book as soon as it was released so while I was offered a complimentary copy for review I didn't need it since I had already one clicked Simon as soon as I saw it was on Amazon. This was another great shifter read, we already knew that Simon had been in the army from Cades book but in this one we get to see him in the army and his progression into the withdrawn wolf that he has become. I liked Simon and felt bad for the poor guy, he was a strong man that was just a little bit broken and you could see that he would do everything possible to have Rose. Rose was likable character because she seemed genuine, she had a nice soft outer shell that came across as shy but she isn't completely soft, she has this tough girl inside who can take care of herself. I liked how Rose and Simon didn't have that forced feeling to their relationship, they fit together smoothly. On top of Rose and Simons personal problems, a crazy wolf wants Rose for his own after being sent by people who want the Le Beaus out of power. This fast paced sexy book is a good follow-up to the first La Beau book and I'm more than ready for the third book in the series.
