Ollie has always known he’s adopted, but he had no idea he was a freak. 

Imagine the shock he got when he found out he’s not quite human… The only thing he can think to do is run before the only family he’s ever known discovers his secret, and toss him aside like the woman that birthed him. 

As if finding out you’re a four-legged creature that howls isn’t bad enough, someone’s snatched him and is holding him captive. 

Ollie is terrified and losing hope, and has no idea if he's ever going to see his family again. Until he hears a voice in his head that promises him he's safe. 

Ronin is a man on a mission. As a former soldier, he’s used to saving people and dangerous situations. He’s off to track down the person that hurt his twins mate, and the last thing he’s looking for is someone for himself. However, fate has a funny way of intervening. 

Ollie is everything he never knew he was looking for. Ronin is the intense alpha Ollie finds himself drawn to. Both discover they need each other before they even meet. 

Can Ronin keep his mate safe, or will he lose Ollie before they even have a chance to enjoy forever?

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Home in His Arms is the first book in Skye Richmond's Wildwood Mates series.

Maddox is a man who has no desire to find a fated mate. He's always thought of it  as more of a burden than a blessing. But when he sets off to save omegas who are being held in a brothel, he meets his other half, Ronin.

This story is a fast paced, quick read that packs a lot of punch into it's pages. I really enjoy this love story between fated mates Ronin and Ollie. 

Their story includes abuse and danger, some wonderfully sweet and tender moments, and a great development at the end.

Home in His Arms is a fun omegaverse romance with some abuse, danger, and some intrigue. I definitely was not disappointed and enjoyed it all.

Love sneaks in like a thief in the night. Danny’s parents raised him to believe his wolf was a curse. He’s part of the wealthy and powerful Connoll Pack, but only nominally. He abandoned that world to volunteer with supernatural kids, and he isn’t looking for a mate….

Max is a shifter who is also a detective. He’s working a case that could make or break his career. Danny’s caught up in the case he’s on, and he’s also irresistible. They’re a bad match—Max, an Alpha having trouble with his new powers and Danny, who trusts Alphas as far as he could throw one. But they can’t get enough of each other, and they might bond before they even see it coming.

They could be amazing together, but they have to get past a few obstacles—especially since someone close to Danny might be involved in the thefts Max is investigating.

My Rating - 4 Stars!

I usually avoid reading about shifters, but something about Bru Baker's Stealing His Heart had me compelled. And I'm glad I took the chance.

Danny's a werewolf, away from his family, spending his life helping kids who are on their own. He meets Max because of a robbery. They're a couple who have no right being together. The conflict and animosity should keep them apart. But they're actually fantastic together.

The differences in the families is well explored, as Max's family is a hoot, while Danny's family is a pain in the ass, and super controlling.

One thing that I love is how realistic it is for Max to give Danny strength to stand up for himself. It's natural and works perfectly.

Stealing His Heart is a tale of standing up for yourself,  and surrounding yourself with good and supportive people. Bru Baker does a great job with this romance, and I'm thrilled I took a chance on it.
