ABOUT GWEN CAMPBELL
Gwen Campbell lives in Canada and got her start in the magazine industry, writing everything from news stories to obituaries. A life-long believer in romance, she’s combined her two passions and now focuses on romantic fiction. Gwen is married and she and her husband contribute the success of their relationship to making a point of saying “I love you” at least once a day, sometimes saying “yes, dear” just because, and making sure the toilet paper always come over the top of the roll.

Gwen claims that her best sticky-plot resolutions come to her while dog walking.



Favorite Quotes:
Sheriff Cutler Powell stared at the slender, auburn-headed madwoman standing in the foyer of the best—and only—café on his pack’s land. She was small, maybe five-four, and had satiny skin turned a pale gold from the sun. The spray of freckles across her pert little nose made his cock twitch…she was just that pretty. The scent coming off her made him harden instantly. It was like breathing in pure lust and there was nothing pure about his reaction to it. The wolf inside him raised its head and in a low, satisfied rumble, spoke one word.
Mine.

Cutler rubbed his temples. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do.” Cutler Powell was used to giving orders and having his pack obey them, not the other way around. Gwen Campbell 22
This wasn’t a democracy. Their willful and not-so-subtle hints that he take in these strays, not giving him a chance to do it on his own when he’d had every intention of doing that about two seconds after he’d smelled Fina, smacked of dissention. He glared at every eye in the place that dared meet his and kept glaring until they looked away. “You and Ryan will stay at my place. I’ve got more than enough room.”
“We can’t—”
“I don’t give a rat’s ass about what you think you can do, woman,” he snarled. “Your pack’s gone and I wish to god I could change that for you but I can’t. You’re a female and he’s a child. You need a pack to take you in. I’m offering mine.” He picked up his hat, the check and Ryan’s backpack. “Stay for a week or stay forever, your choice.” Cutler stood, looked at the check and slapped a few bills on the table. “If we’re not a good fit, move on. I can tell you where to find two other packs less than a day’s drive from here. Until then, you’re one of us,” he added loudly enough for everyone in the café to hear. He touched Fina’s elbow and held it with remarkable gentleness, considering, until she stood up.


I was given the book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great story. This story starts off with the loss of Fina and Ryan’s family.  The beginning contains violence and rape.  Fina is 20 and with the death of her pack she now is the only one who is in charge of all the pack’s and personal assets and now a 5 year old child that isn’t even hers. Fina takes care and protect the boy as if he was her own. Ryan’s parents were killed along with Fina’s by a group of rogue werewolves. Then in the process of Fina coming home she was violently raped by them and the rogue’s leader believed she was his now. Fina and Ryan ran away and found themselves now accepted by another pack. What Fina didn’t know was that Cutler was not only the Alpha, the sheriff but also her mate. Cutler immediately realizes that Fina is his mate and will not let her go even though he told her she was safe with them as long as she stayed. He offered her and Ryan a place to stay. When they arrive at the Cutler’s home she immediately finds another man there, Cutler’s brother Nath. What neither Cutler nor Nath expected was that Fina was both their mates and as their mate they would do anything in the world to protect her.
Fina has not only become the mate to one alpha but also to the beta of the pack and has to now fight her way through every female that Cutler has screwed by also everyone that Nath has also.  What a mess she has on her hands. Will she let herself love these two as they love her? Or will she let the past destroy what they are building as a pack and family?

I love this story, there is a lot of love, sadness, violence and friendship but there is also laughter. I would not mind having two men cherish me the way they cherish Fina. When you first read all the women looking at Fina like they could kill her the first thoughts I has were oh man are then two men in trouble.  It was funny on how Cutler looked at all the women and realized just how many he has sex with.  As Fina said she needs brass knuckles. Excellent story, fast paced and well written, cannot wait for another one…
