Blurb
1895. New York.
Gabriel Webster’s pack is in trouble. His father’s failing health and his mother’s untimely death mean that the vultures are circling. It won’t be long before his family’s assets are stripped and his pack disbanded. When an offer of help arrives in the form of a marriage of convenience, he has little choice but to accept.
The arrangement would be the perfect solution, if not for one thing. Gabriel is to marry Nathaniel Hayward, the Alpha who was badly injured in the accident that killed his brother ten years before—and the man Gabriel has been in love with for as long as he can remember.
Trapped in a business arrangement masquerading as a marriage — in a strange, empty house with a damaged husband who barely tolerates him — isn’t what Gabriel expected from life.
But sometimes the last thing we want is the beginning of something more.
And an ending can be the start of something beautiful.
REVIEW
Review by: Jennifer
(3.75 Stars)
Set back in the late 1800's, this has a different take on shifters. Gabriel's pack is without an alpha and is actually in trouble. When an offer for Gabriel's hand in marriage seems to be an answer to their problems, the only issue is who is doing the offering. His late brother's best friend is offering for Gabriel's hand, a man that they haven't seen since the unfortunate incident that both killed his brother and left Nate with scars. Gabriel accepts the offer and the two marry, but Nate keeps his distance and for the most part avoids Gabriel in the day to day matters. Will Gabriel be able to break through the walls that Nate has erected? Will Nate give Gabriel a chance to make this into more than just an arrangement?
This was an ok story, more of a slow burn, this takes time to get to the point. I found some parts a bit lagging. The shifter aspect of this was lacking, in fact if there wasn't the few mentions I would not have taken it for a shifter story at all. All in all it was still just an ok story, I give this 3.75 stars.
About Alex
After spending far too long creating stories in her head, Alex finally plucked up the courage to write them down and realized it was quite fun seeing them on the page after all.
Free from aspirations of literary greatness, Alex simply hopes to entertain by spinning a good yarn of love and life, wrapped up with a happy ending. Although, if her characters have to go through Hell to get there, she’s a-okay with that.
With only a dysfunctional taste in music and a one-eyed dog to otherwise fill her days, Alex writes and walks on the South Coast of England—even when her heart and spellcheck are in New York.
