Okay... I have taken some time to think about this review, ponder about it and sniff around the next story. Its only left me with more questions than answers and hell... a bit of drool on the side! It all comes down to the simple statement...love will find a way. I don't need to retell the story, I don't need to summarize it.... its there in the deep emotion, in the struggle.. the pup that lost his Master, because duty took president. It's not romance.... its fate.It was beautifully written, though as with all things furry.. I wanted more!!! I loved this book. In particular I loved the issues that Bennett had being an Alpha wolf and trying to reconcile that with his arousal at acting as a submissive in the human sense. Dare looks at the different ideals of submission and how Bennet, not submissive in one sense, can reconcile his nature with his kink. I was almost brought to tears several times as Bennet kept apologising to Marsdon for his actions which he saw as shameful, while Marsdon found them hot as hell
