Lone Wolf By Anna Martin

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Wolf Shifter, GLBTQ, MM

Released: October 9, 2018

Publisher: Dreamspinner Press

Synopsis

Jackson Lewis isn’t a typical werewolf. He isolates himself in a small town outside Spokane and dedicates himself to making his business—Lone Wolf Brewery—a success. If it leaves him little time for romance, he’s okay with that. His soul mate could be out there somewhere, but he isn’t actively looking.

So he’s in for quite the shock when he literally bumps into his soul mate—Leo Gallagher, an adorable, nerdy, vibrant music therapist who’s Jackson’s polar opposite.

But he’s human. And a man.

Jackson is straight—or at least he’s always assumed so. Though he can’t deny his attraction to Leo, it’s a lot for both of them to deal with.

While Jackson and Leo figure out what their future might hold, they face prejudice from both the human and werewolf communities—including a group of fanatics willing to kill to show humans and werewolves don’t belong together.

Review

This book has a lot going on in it.

Lone Wolf is the second book I’ve read by Anna Martin and it left me conflicted. On the one hand, I never got bored reading it and I found it entertaining. On the other hand, I think there was too much going on and too many unanswered questions. That’s why I only gave Lone Wolf three stars where it would normally have been a higher rating.

Jackson is a werewolf who has always identified as straight; then he meets his soul-mate, Leo, who is a gay man. This totally shakes him up and he has more than a little bit of trouble dealing with the fact that his soul-mate is a man. This issue probably takes up most of the story but then there are some other things thrown in.

Jackson owns a microbrewery that is destroyed by arson. Leo works part-time dancing at a gay nightclub where a major incident, involving people getting sick, occurs. There’s a group called the Human Protection League that wants to see werewolves contained. Jackson’s new place of business is threatened. All of these things created a bit too much chaos for me but I probably could get past that. What really bothered me is that the book just ended with no resolution to too many threads of the story.

I don’t know if this is to be the first book in a series or not. If it is then perhaps the next one will have some resolution for these things. I definitely would like to know more about Jackson and Leo’s relationship a few months, or more, down the road. I’ll concede that the story has a HFN (happy for now) for Jackson and Leo but that just wasn’t really enough for me with this book.
