Aroooooooo....werewolves of Lake Tahoe. Yeah okay, it's not quite as catchy as the original, but it is accurate for this series.It's Jared's turn to find his HEA. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. While bidding on a job, Jared meets Taryn, aka the Ice Queen. The funny thing is, that nickname couldn't be more ironic for Taryn. Jared and Taryn both feel the pull towards each other, but they also both have some intense emotional baggage. Jared suffered a tragic loss during his younger years, which also resulted in a personal issues he still struggles with to this day. Taryn suffered a heartbreaking loss and still blames herself to this day. Her way of coping? She's very careful about everything she does, going so far as to have very limited physical contact with anyone.Jared is working a lot of hours at Taryn's and brings his dog, Tank, along for the ride. Charlie, Taryn's son, absolutely adores Tank. Once Jared realizes who Taryn is to him, he starts the wooing. Yes, he has a lot of emotional barriers to get through to win Taryn's heart, but he knows she's it for him and is looking forward to winning her over. As for Charlie, Jared is already head over heels for the little boy and Charlie looks up to Jared. Psst...Jared and Charlie also have something else in common. Plot twist!While Jared, Tank, Taryn, and Charlie are starting the foundation for their new family, Nero is still lurking in the shadows, just waiting for a chance to attack. Damian Severino, did you notice that last name?, is eyeing Taryn and not being subtle in his pursuit. But it's not really a personal pursuit, so much as its a business related one. Yes, Nero wants Taryn for what she can do. We also meet someone new, Vivianna, and I just have a feeling she's going to be someone's mate. I can't wait to see if I'm right, and if so, who it'll be.I loved this book. I do recommend you read the series in order due to the sake of continuity so you can get full enjoyment out of it. They're worth the time. You'll love them.**I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.** I also pre-ordered this book, as I do every book in this series, so that should tell you how much I love them.
