Brian's Mate

By Hollis Shiloh

Brian is the alpha of the least impressive pack of wolves at the whole Moon Ceremony. When a human is discovered uninvited in their midst, he bonds with the man to save his life.

Luke doesn't know about all this wolf stuff, but he’s starting to develop feelings for the gentle man who rescued him. Both Brian and Luke expect to quietly dissolve the bond later. But feelings intervene, and some bonds are not so easy to cast aside.

Building a life together as alphas will take love and hard work—especially when new wolves keep inviting themselves into their lives.

Reviews for Brian's Mate

[saskia17 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I loved this story because of all the expectations it didn't meet. I've read a lot of paranormal shifter stories lately, and this one missed the mark on all the latest, most popular trends. Where was the vicious fighting, the horrible abuse, the power struggles, the angst? After all, how can you write a book about gay shifters without all that? Apparently, Hollis Shiloh can write very well without all that. While the book begins with some tension and it does touch on many of the themes that so often lead to the drama in other stories (homosexuality, abuse, at-risk youth, etc.), the end result is an incredibly gentle, lovely portrait of people coming together to make happier lives. There's no need to insert a conflict just to make drama. This pack's life holds my attention all on its own. It's simply a story that makes me smile.
