I have mixed feelings about this book; I liked the characters and the fact that it continued nicely from the previous book in the series. The plot, however, I just expected more from. Based on the description of the book I really thought there might be more angst or something between the two MCs, especially since Reese was straight before meeting Keely. That wasn't the case, however, and he was happily converted over to the ways of gay sex before 20% of the book had passed. A lot of times I don't mind the insta-love but this book, for some reason, just seemed too fast even for that. There were also inconsistencies with some of the actions being taken; they just didn't fit with how anyone would normally act. Like, 'oh hey, we're in danger but lets stop and have sex really quick.' This could've been a whole lot better if some depth had been given to the plot and if there had just been less sex. Reece is the Alpha of his pack, so image his surprise to realize his mate is Keeley, a petite little man. Reece has been living his life up to this point as a straight man, so he doesn’t understand why he is fated to be with a man. So when Keeley comes into the bar that Reece happens to be, he can’t seem to take his eyes off of him. And when trouble follows Keeley into the restroom, Reece follows to protect his future mate. The whole mating process, Keeley easily complies with, letting Reece bite him as well as drinking his blood in return. No questions asked. And at this point neither of them knows the others name.The two of them feel their way around each other in this relationship. Reece having never been with a man before, is untrained in the aspects of lovemaking with a man and has to rely on Keeley to show him the ropes. Keeley on the other hand is constantly getting upset and offended by everything Reece says or does, which leads to a lot of time in which Keeley spent sulking. The two finally get it together and make a rather enjoyable read. The secondary characters prove to be of great interest as well.
