Wolf of her Own

Yay, older characters finding love! OK they might look like they are my age but they are werewolves so are actually in their 60's! Mikhail has been living with the Salvation Pack since his sister married into it. He feels he should move on now she is settled but something is holding him back...or should that be someone. Elise is everything he wants in a mate but she is the Alpha's mother. She is also a domestic abuse survivor. He really wants to brink that fecker back to life so he can kill him himself! Elise has ensconced herself in a safe little bubble. She has the respect and protection of the pack but with the exception of family she is still kind of removed from them by her status as Alpha's mother. Her cabin is well away from everyone and they treat her with kid gloves. But is this what she needs to move forward with her life? Companionship if not love would go a long way to soothe her loneliness. Mikhail could be just who she needs but she doesn't want to be under anyone's thumb again and she doesn't know if she can be fully mated to someone like Mikhail, someone who can make her feel. I haven't read this series before (how the heck did that happen!!!) but I was soon neck deep in the world and invested in both the story and the characters. The domestic abuse thread is handled with love, care and attention and whilst a victim, Elise is not in any way shape or form a weak characters, she has a spine of steel when needed. I loved the way the pack took her and Mikhail to their collective hearts and banded around them. The scene with the "bad guy" had me choking back tears and cheering at the same time. I loved the way Elise refused to be cowed. I am going to have to get the rest of the series now - one click it is has struck again and the wish list has probably grown by a good few too!!!
