ARC received from GRR for an honest review.
Rudy is a coyote shifter who's recently moved to Stonesburg. After a tragic accident he doesn't feel welcome in his hometown so he has moved and started over. Lucky for him he does IT work remotely. While out on the town with his new friends, he sees something he really likes. When he approaches Samuel he's immediately brushed off. This doesn't stop him though. He keeps up his pursuit of Samuel to the point of stalking him. Will he wear Samuel down or will he finally give up?
Samuel is a 180 year old vampire. He's seen a lot in his life and most of it wasn't good. He's had a lot of horrible things happen to him and at some point decided to exist instead of live. When Rudy approaches him in his favorite bar, he can't deny he's attracted but he isn't about to give him a chance to hurt him, as the others have. How many times does he have to come across Rudy "accidentally" before he gives in or will he finally blow him off?
During Samuel and Rudy's odd tango of "not dating" danger comes in the form of an old foe of Samuel's. Their past relationship is choked full of pain and suffering for Samuel and he wants to brings it to a final stop. When this foe targets Rudy, Samuel gets downright possessive and has to finally admit there's something to this "mate" thing.
Rudy is a delightful, outgoing guy and his attraction to Samuel; although, instant, is actually felt and believable. Samuel is a curmudgeon at first but Rudy soon has him believing in the good life can bring and he starts becoming a better person. Their chemistry is good. They have tragedy in common and they were able to help each other deal with it. As much tragedy as Samuel went through I'm really surprised he didn't walk into the sun but he's a very strong person inside. This story is told in the present, with past flashbacks, that help us see what made these two who they are. I'm not usually a fan of this type of storytelling but in this case it worked for me. The story itself was compelling and kept my attention. I enjoyed seeing the characters from book two show up. A great ending to this trilogy. I recommend this to those that like MM romance, with paranormal and mystery added in.
