WLK synopsis
Two very different men with a tumultuous history must overcome challenges from all sides and see past their society's rules to realize they are destined for one another.
Raised to become alpha of the Yafenack pack, Samuel Goodwin dedicates his life to studying shifter laws, strengthening his body, and learning from his father. But despite his best efforts, Samuel can't relate to people, including those he's supposed to lead.
When Samuel meets Korban Keller, the son of a neighboring pack's alpha, he reacts with emotion instead of intellect for the first time in his life. Resenting the other shifter for throwing him off-balance, Samuel first tries to intimidate Korban and then desperately avoids him. What he can't do is forget Korban's warm eyes, easy smile, and happy personality.
When a battle between their fathers ends tragically, Samuel struggles to lead his pack while Korban works to break through Samuel's emotional barriers.

Mari's Review: 

** Audiobook provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. ***


Samuel and Korban are members of different wolf shifter's packs, each of them destined to become Alpha of their own packs. 

Samuel is more in touch with his wolf than Korban, and he's a bit of a scholar, preferring to submerge himself in his studies than to play, intent on being the best Alpha he can be, despite his father always reminding him that he needs to feel more empathy for their pack members. He's confused by his reactions to being near Korban and stays as far away from him as he can. Until something happens to bring them together and having to change his views in just about everything he'd held as truth all his life.

Korban is sweet, and more in touch with his feelings than Samuel, so he had realized the truth beforehand. It takes a tragedy for them to be able to work through some of their issues, but there's more than that getting in their way.

I loved this story! Both Korban and Samuel are loveable in their own right and together they are dynamite, so damn hot! I really liked the take on the feuding packs, it was different, and I enjoyed how Cardeno C. wove such an interesting story line with the romance and the conflict Samuel felt at his attraction for Korban.  

The narration was so perfect! I loved this book from the start, but Charlie David's voice elevated the experience for me. I've said it before, but really, he has a way with transmitting emotions through his voice that is unparalleled for me. The different tones and voices just take an already great story and turned it in extraordinary.

Rating: 5+ Stars!!!
