PictureHEAT RATING: 2 FLAMESStarting a new series can be a worry for some authors, but I always find that it gives an author a chance to either expand on the type of books that they write or try something new. I have to say that Stormy Glenn did not disappoint. This first book in the Wolf Haven series tells the story of Matthew or Matty, a human omega and Rico, a shifter, both who have no idea what the other is.It’s a fast pace book that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat through the ups and downs of these two characters getting their HEA. I loved that the book started out straight away on a positive note, although, you will have to read it to see what I mean. It showed the type of man that Matty was and how even though he can be a bit of a worry wart, he would do anything to protect those he loved. The chemistry between these two is scorching, but because it's filled with loads of trust issues, they had a lot to deal with. Also, while the sex was hot, it was funny the way Rico kept having to help Matty deal with his issues. You almost had to feel sorry for Rico, because he didn't know whether he was coming or going at certain points in the book. In fact, Matty keeps Rico on his toes through a lot of the story, never letting him know what he was doing from one moment to the next.At the end of the book, you could see how much love Rico had for Matty and how much of a big softy he was going to be now that they were together.I would have given this five stars, but this first book in the series focuses on world and character building, so it just lost that slight edge. Having said that, because I enjoyed the start to this series so much, I immediately bought the second book to find out what happened to the two characters whose story started towards the end. All in all, it's a strong start to a new series, and I anxiously look forward to more from the Wolf Haven series. 4 twinkling stars! Great start to a new series, with some interesting twists on werewolf lore. Not only do we have omegas with special abilities, they can also be born in both human and wolf-shifter form, are always male, and - this one was a little more unusual - can get pregnant. Of course there are also the evil hunters, out to kill any gay werewolf they can find. As to why - that is one of the questions set up to be answered as the series develops, I am sure.Matty is a normal human, or so he thinks, until he spends a weekend with his dream man and everything changes. Not that he notices immediately, but when he does, all hell breaks loose. He finds it very difficult to adapt, but I can't blame him for that. He does have a lot happening to him. Luckily, he is able to stand up for himself, despite the hormones playing havoc with his emotions. Rico is a wolf-shifter on the run, because he is gay. The werewolf senate has declared gays and omegas to be outlaws, and hunters make sure none survive. Rico doesn't agree with the plan, and once he has accepted that he will be a father, he deals with the situation really well.If you like stories about werewolves who are passionate and will defend their mates to the death, if you enjoy books containing male pregnancy, and if you're looking for a paranormal read with a twist, then you will probably like this book.
