Description:
Cassidy is convinced that Travis will never open up to her. He’s fun, flirty, and does delicious things to her body—but doesn’t offer his heart. When they’re forced to hole up in an old weather station for the night, it gives her time to really get to know the dirty-blond miner. Can she break through his tough exterior and tame the man beneath?
Travis finds it safer to coast along on the surface of life. He never planned to invest himself emotionally in anyone beyond his new pack, but Cassidy is making it difficult. His alpha has chosen her, and Travis wants her. If only he could trust the little human, and himself, enough to embrace what he really desired.
The only thing that disappoints me about this series is the fact that I have to wait for the next installment. In the fourth book of the Wolves of Climax series, Cassidy is right where the previous story left off. She finally found Matthew and has been waiting with him and Patrick while Garrett and the rest of the pack were hunting for the Rockford miners, unknowing of Matthew’s return. After setting out to find the rest of the crew, Matthew and Patrick are forced to leave Cassidy alone in the woods to protect her from suspicious wolves. While looking for shelter, Cassidy is confronted by another surprise when Travis finds her and she realizes that once again he is completely naked. What is it with all of these men running around the woods with no clothes on? She knows her men must be hiding something but she still can’t quite figure it out. Once settled in a shelter for the night, Travis realizes that he is always animalistic when it comes to Cassidy. He doubts that he has a softer side and is not sure that he could even kiss Cassidy without wanting to have his way with her. Can Cassidy tame his beast? Can he be vulnerable with her? What if he opens his heart and she runs the moment she finds out the truth?
The time to find out draws near as the pack comes together and heads home, Cassidy is left with more questions then answers. Now that the pack is whole and the mine is up and running, frustration is in the air and Cassidy has a tough time dealing with it. Someone is sending an inspector to the mine to oversee operations and Cassidy will not be allowed on site. Add to that the fact that the inspector is a woman with a reputation for flirtation, and you have a recipe for jealousy, underhandedness and of course, disaster.
Once again I find myself anxious for the next installment of this series. While the stories are short, the storyline leaves a mystery to be solved. Cassidy still has a missing brother, someone is still kidnapping wolves and using them to kill people in the woods, Garrett has still left Cassidy unmarked, and the Rockford miners are still up to no good. I find myself getting frustrated with Garrett’s constant excuses to wait to tell Cassidy the truth but really enjoy the banter between he and his pack as they push him by offering to mark her themselves. I also get irritated at Cassidy simply because she seems so naive about things. She is constantly hearing about the “pack” and getting marked but has not put two and two together. Her men are always appearing naked in the woods, they get along with wolves, and she does not even ponder that fact, she simply wonders why they are naked all of the time (not that I am complaining about gorgeous naked men). The scenes between Cassidy and her men are sexy as sin and I always plush when they put her in a compromising position allowing for others to accidentally drop in. For a fast read, this book offers a great story, sinfully delicious sex with one, two, and three men (all for Cassidy) and a cliffhanger that will leave you begging for more.
Sounds good…thanks Alyn!
