This first book in the Montana Howling series is more a coming of age story than a burning shifter romance. The shifters are certainly included, as is the romance, but this one focuses on Patrick and his desire to make it on his own. The book is a fairly quick read, but Patrick does a tremendous amount of growing up on those pages, and he learns some valuable lessons. We do get the promised romance, and while it isn't the love at first sight, fated mate style that I've become accustomed to with this author, some of that is there in a slow burn love story. Kendra has a good head on her shoulders and is exactly what Patrick needs in his life. They do have good chemistry, I enjoyed their friendship just as much as their romance. The book closes with an open-ended, happy for now, conclusion. There are some things left unresolved that I'm sure we'll see more of as the series progresses, and I look forward to seeing what's next for this pack and Patrick's life in Montana.

A delightful & fascinating, slow-burn wolf shifter romance & an excellent start to a new shifter series. The plot is exceptional well-written and filled with unique, individual characters, some of these characters struggle with self-esteem issues and acceptance as they continue to develop throughout the story-line. There is: wolf shifters, a male wolf shifter (Patrick) who has three months to prove his worth to the pack, a book smart female wolf shifter (Kendra), drama, intrigue, some twists & turns, threats, decisions, drugs, law enforcement, some mystery, memories, attractions, jealousy, complaints, meetings, rejection, devious plans, confrontations, anger, rumors, deceit, acceptance, responsibilities, happiness & a little steam. I really enjoyed reading this wolf shifter romance & would recommend it.

This book is a little different than this authors usually stories, but still good. It tells about a young man (Patrick) finding himself, and finding love. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
