Review: Hunter Moon by Sam Burns & W.M. Fawkes
SYNOPSIS:
The prodigal alpha returns from the navy to a whole new sea of trouble…
Aspen Grove left his pack to ensure its future, and his own. After ten years in the navy, his father is dead, his brother is pack alpha, and he’s ready to return. But does the pack he turned his back on still have a place for him so many years later?
Brook Morgan has seen the dark side of alpha wolves—their violence, their brutality, their greed. He has only taken the first small steps toward recovery when Aspen Grove, the alpha who stole his heart then abandoned it ten years ago, returns to Grovetown. Thank the moon he can lose himself in video games and put the only alpha he’d ever wanted out of mind for good.
After abandoning his rightful place in the Grove pack, Aspen is struggling to find where he fits in, but when the feral wolves who tormented Brook return looking for more trouble, he has to protect his home, and his mate, or risk losing them both forever.
REVIEW:
Yes, yes, yes…this was the book I was waiting for! After spending the last two books listening to Aspen being dragged, I was thrilled when he finally showed his face around town. Not to say this man doesn’t have his work cut out for him, because he certainly does.
Aspen spent his early years falling in love with Brook and then he just up and disappeared. No one had any way to contact him and he left Brook and Brook’s family heartbroken. Not to mention, poor Brook is still trying to recover from the trauma of being kidnapped and so much more. And the worst part is, that even with Aspen back, he isn’t aware of how damaged Brook is and Brook feels too broken to ever be desired by an alpha again. These two broken men though are drawn to each other. And in a way, Aspen helps Brook put the pieces of his life back together.
Aspen gives Brook peace of mind, safety, and a shoulder to lean and through it all, Brook finds forgiveness. Aspen struggles to find acceptance and forgiveness for his own past decisions. And while making amends around town, he also finds his way back into Brook’s heart. In the end, these two navigate things beautifully. I love that in terms of the plot, the Grove pack can now truly begin healing from the Reid pack and put the events behind and we also get some surprising visitors to the Grove which bring more questions than answer.
