Gavin Blackwood is the Pack Enforcer and Sheriff. He is currently organising the exodus of healthy wolves from the Riverson Pack to friendlier packs nearby, including his own. There are a few holdouts though, including Rachel Fields. She is an Omega but she is more than capable of keeping Gavin on his toes!

Rachel was an Omega but before she could train her pack was overtaken by the odious Riversons and she lived in fear from then on. She managed to keep her young charge safe from the Alpha and his lieutenants. But this strange Enforcer makes her inner wolf sit up and tale notice. But she is not about to uproot herself and her charge from the only place they know and jump into the unknown just because her wolf says Gavin is her MATE!

AI loved that whilst Rachel may be seen as a weak wolf, her Omega status may not have been fully trained but she can pack a wallop! The scenes were she negotiates with Gavin is quite funny because you are so used to most Alpha wolves doing the ordering about, but she has more than herself to worry about. Fab read!

Drew gets waylaid on his way home after a hard day at his Vet practice. He is not exactly happy about being kidnapped but he does give the offending Alpha some leeway when he finds out that he is needed to help with the effects of X 15 again.

But when he is stashed at the Alpha's sisters home, off pack lands, he gets the shock of his life. Chloe is his mate! Now he just has to save her mum, win over her brother, ditch the wannabe suitor and get her to agree to be his mate!

Drew is a great lead. The right mix of confident, aggressive and possessive with a soothing personality to temper his desires. Chloe was so badly treated by her father I just wanted to smack him! She deals with her misfortunes well but really feels confused and unsure how to deal with these feelings that she has for Drew.

Zeke really needs to dial down the Alpha! His handling of Drew and Chloe leaves a lot to be desired. Although there is a HEA for the couple, they are not without tragedy.

It was a bit short and could have done with being a bit longer (the action essentially takes place over only a few days!) Looking forward to visiting with the Blackwood Wolves again!
