Amy Ryba is ready. It has taken her years to track down Evan Stone, and months to prepare and now it is time to destroy the Alpha of the Takhini Wolves. Then comes the biggest most unbelievable shock of her life, she comes face to face with the shifter she has only hatred for only to discover he's her mate. Guess it's time to pass around the MOON SHINE.

Evan Stone is usually laid back even though he is the Alpha of his pack of rambunctious wolves. He has a good handle on the world he lives in until all hell starts to break loose. He had given up his human girlfriend after he had caught scent of his mate, but hadn't had any luck finding her and soon finds out why. A painful secret from his past must come out if there is any way to talk his future mate out of destroying him.

The secret isn't the only problem before this couple as she is the alpha to her own pack of more subdued wolves. Together they must figure out how to combine the two packs and who will be in charge. There is a lot of work ahead including an internal rebellion afoot, but the most important is can these two hearts beat together or will they destroy each other.

MOON SHINE is a head shaking, breath catching, thrill ride. I found it fascinating as the couple slowly but surely becomes a couple, but ... oh my ... what a roller coaster ride. Amy (also known as Sam to her pack) has put a lot of energy in ruining Evan for a past deed and the sudden turn around of feelings throws her off her game. The reader will see the confusion on both parts but I did find Evan a little to typically alpha in his opinion that he would lead the united pack and that will be that. Amy teaches him differently and it is entertaining to watch. As the book moves on the reader gets to see the inside of both packs and if you are like me you wonder how it would be possible to combine the different personalities into one, then you realize that with love all is possible. A shifter's world is never easy but author Vivian Arend manages to make it work out just right. Ms. Arend's Takini Wolves is a fun series to read and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one.

Book Summary

When the past hurts, it bites.

Takhini Wolves, Book 4

Meet Evan Stone. Laid-back, in-control Alpha of the Takhini Wolves. Life’s not perfect, but he’s got a good handle on his world. At least, he did—until the night he ends up in jail, soaking wet and wondering what the hell just happened.

The “what” is Amy Ryba, a vengeful female who’s decided it’s long past time to make Evan pay for his sins. Amy has spent years tracking him down, and the last nine months working in secret to destroy him. She’s ready for anything—except discovering the shifter she hates is her mate.

Suddenly, Evan’s not so very in control, of himself or his pack. And unless Amy can learn to forgive and forget, she’ll have to do the unthinkable: reject her mate.

With two packs watching, one thing is certain. Their personal issues won’t stay personal for long. If Amy and Evan can’t find a way to work together, there won’t be a happily-ever-after for them…or any of the wolves of Whitehorse.

Warning: Contains angsty wolves. Lots of angsty wolves causing explosions of all sorts, playing bad pranks, hacking computers, and having angry sex against a wall or two. Not all at the same time, though, because that would be silly.
