I'm curious as to what their reception of Simon will be and what challenges that would bring someone as skittish as Simon. The way that the pack reacted in the beginning of the story to the news of a male omega in the territory was very different from how Mitch assures Simon that they will treat him. This felt like the intro to a longer book in a lot of ways. I wanted to know a great deal more about the pack and pack structure. I think that there is a lot of potential there, but there were some plot holes and details that left me wanting more. It was very sweet with some light angst and a fairly slow burn love story for a shifter book. I really like this author's HOT, uber-masculine guys that often border on romantic enough to be sappy. but I keep coming back! It is a theme that never gets old for me. The big bad alpha male shifter falling for the formerly abused, more submissive mate. *3.5 stars* 3 stars for the story and another 1/2 star for the narration, very nicely done by Sean Crisden! I've read stories like this one before. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments The power of subconscious mind![]() ![]() ![]() This edition of the classic work also includes the bonus audiobook You Can Change Your Whole Life in which Murphy offers a simple prescription to ban negative thoughts from your mind and, in doing so, change every facet of your life.
