Colin has
lived his life in pain always hiding his scar, always being rejected because of
it. He has resigned himself to the fact that no one could love him because of
it. Nobody ever seems to look past it to the person Colin is. When fate steps in and Colin meets Marc his
life changes for ever. Can Marc truly find him attractive and not care about
the scar? For so long his scar is what has defined Colin. Yet Marc and his
friends do not even seem to notice it. Colin is not sure what to do and when
Marc reveals that they are mates Colin must find a way to get past thinking
that Marc and he are only together because of biology.
I really
liked the concept of this story but was disappointed in this book. There was
too much time taken on describing and naming products. We are repeatedly told
the brand of soft drink Colin enjoys to brand name clothing and the stores that
the men shop at. There were also a lot
of details about everything from werewolf politics to what a room looked like.
All these details made it hard to enjoy the story and get to know the
characters. Much of the book read like an outline for the story and the young
men who are in the story mostly did things and acted like teenagers not the
college age men they are said to be. I found it hard to feel and connect to the
emotions that I read. I felt like there could have been a lot more depth to
these characters and what they went through.
Each of the mated pairs made a nice couple and I would have loved to see
more depth to their characters. Marc and Colin are good together and I would
have enjoyed finding out more of their inner voices instead of all the details
and name droppings. Some chapters were
short glimpse in the lives of these men but left you wanting more.
Colin and
Marc’s story is about freeing yourself from the past and moving on to a better
place. A wonderful message but it could use a better way of telling it.
This
is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
