This is a very feel-good, slow-moving, long story that you can just sink into and live in. I love that the women are so supportive of each other... not something you see in a lot of RH, to be honest. It was fun watching Elena slowly come to the realization that she's living in a community for wolves.

Some reviewers don't like the slow way they fall in love, but it felt realistic to me. Not everything is instalove. Yeah, the one guy is her fated mate, but that doesn't make the others magically fall for her. And with Elena being in her 40s, it all just felt more realistic.

So give this a shot whether you're new to her work or not! It's fresh and different.
