As the author herself tells in a note, it was not easy to write Trey’s story; this werewolf is in almost all, if not all the books Joely Skye wrote, even with her pseudo Jorrie Spencer (for het romance). Trey is always the baddest wolf around, the one who everyone fears, the big bad wolf who comes in town, resolves your trouble and then walks alone in the horizon. He has no private life, even if he has a family; he seems always detached, as if he was physically here but mentally he was somewhere else. When Trey stumbles upon Jonah, a shifter lynx who is living like an hermit in a secluded place in Canada, it seems clear who is the alpha: Trey is older, 40 years old against Jonah’s 24 years old, he is experienced and supposedly in control; Jonah needs direction, above all from someone with experience in being a shifter, since Jonah was like a freak in his family, his mother carrying the shifter gene, but not being a shifter. No one has ever taught Jonah how to be a shapeshifter, and when he lost his mother and brother at brief distance, Jonah remained really alone. When Trey comes around, Jonah sees him like an anchor to sanity, a way to not going feral; and I think that Trey sees Jonah like a way to redeem himself, someone blank whom can be taught to be an happier shifter than him. The first part of the book is almost idyllic, real life doesn’t touch them, and they can plant the seeds of a long-lasting relationship. But then real life brings Trey far from Jonah, and Trey does also a big mistake: he doesn’t understand that the months he spent with Jonah taught to the young guy that his isolated cabin in the wood can be lonely. Trey stays away too long and Jonah decides to leave his safe shelter; even if it can be seen as an hazard move, Jonah is proving that he is stronger than Trey. Jonah has the courage to admit that his previous life has no more a meaning without Trey, something that maybe Trey is not ready to do. Jonah risks everything he has for the love of Trey. The experience will change both men, and there will be a change also in the balance between them: even if younger, even if less experience, Jonah will prove that he can be the one able to take the right decision for the good of the couple; in the span of 1 year and half, Jonah will cancel 16 years of age difference. I think that, if the author will decide to write something more about this couple, we will see that Jonah will acquire more and more self-esteem, to in the end, become the real alpha of the story. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039PH73Q/?tag=elimyrevandra-20 aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série
The only way to break free is to let go. In order to protect his shifter kin, FBI agent Trey Walters hides his ability from his employers. For him, a vacation means a whole midwinter month in the Canadian wilderness, free to live in his wolf skin. When he happens upon a rare lynx shifter, he's fascinated. And his protective instincts kick into overdrive. The young man needs to be shielded from werewolves and humans alike, whether he likes it or not. Jonah can hardly wrap his head around the fact that other shifters exist, much less endure the presence of a stranger in his lonely sanctuary. Blaming himself for his brother's death, he lives in self-imposed isolation. Trust? Forget it. Yet Trey's patience penetrates Jonah's fear, and it doesn't take long for him to fall like a rock for the wolf. Trey hadn't planned to embark on an intense, passionate affair, but he finds himself vowing to return after his next undercover mission is over. As months stretch into years, however, Jonah fears that Trey has broken faith with him-or is dead. There's only one way to find out. Leave the safety of his lair and venture into a dangerous, deadly world... Warning: violence, explicit sex. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Trey is such an enigmatic character in the other books and it can be hard when this person becomes the protagonist. Jo Beverly did it magnificiently with Rothgar in Devilish, but Joely Skye is no Jo Beverley. Trey became more ordinary as we became more intimate with him, and that was actually a bit of shame.
I also had problems with the amount of waiting in this book, the lovers were apart for far longer than they were together, and the waiting jarred on me, even if the Lynx could cope with it.
I will keep it, as I am keeping all her books right now, but I don't know how often I would reread it. ( )
