Book of the Week: LGBTQ Fantasy: Parker's Forbidden Mate by Blake R. Wolfe

I recently read a great book by author Blake R. Wolfe, who writes about werewolves and their relationships with gay men. He has several fantasy series about werewolves, and "Parker's Forbidden Mate" is part of his Ombra Pack Chronicles series. He also writes other series. This one is a 5 Star Book!  It grabs you and keeps you reading. 

This book was engaging from the first chapter. A down on his luck 20 something guy named Aiden, who works in an office and gets in trouble sets the stage for his struggle - that weighs heavily on his new relationship... not to mention Parker, the new boyfriend, is a werewolf. 

There's werewolf family drama, Aiden's distant family and a guy that really pulled a fast one on Aiden. It was a page turner, and I finished the book in 3 days (that's super quick for me). Loved the characters (there were several other important characters but I don't want to give it away). For those who are a little shy when it comes to reading intimacy, be cautioned... it gets steamy a couple of times.... and the cover is also eye-catching!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Falling for the cute handyman renovating my kitchen probably isn't a good idea. He's human and I'm a werewolf. Not to mention, my parents have already picked out a new boyfriend for me. But those green eyes and strong arms are impossible to resist.

AIDEN
Just when I thought things were looking up, my entire life falls apart, thanks to some guy. Now I've sworn off men forever since I can't trust myself to pick the right one. And that's the moment I met him, the tall, dark, and handsome man with golden eyes. But I can't have him.My life is crumbling around my ears, and the last thing I need is to complicate it with a man in the picture.

Now if I could just get him to leave me alone...

PARKER
Begrudgingly I came home for the summer to blow off some steam after another failed relationship, intent on spending the summer alone to recover. But when a storm threatens a man out on the lighthouse pier, I run to save him. The moment my hand touches his skin, I hear a single word. Mate. But he's human, and I'm a werewolf. If I pursue him I'll be kicked out of the pack. And if I don't I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.

All I know is that I can't resist him. But can a werewolf and a human really find happiness together? I'm willing to sacrifice my place in the pack for him.

Maybe I'll just create my own pack so we can be together.
