In the first book of the Wolves of the Rising Sun series, Skye has left her abusive, manipulative boyfriend and she’s headed to the bayou to take pictures, to relax and to figure out her next move. Always attracted to the bartender at the local dive bar, she and Jace could never be together since they were both seeing other people. Now they’re both single and they take their flirty friendship to the next level. Until Jace’s brother, Aiden, accuses her of being a traitor and wanting to kill them.
The romance and action happened very quickly in this novella, but the love felt believable. The action with the bad guy at the end felt forced to me and I think Skye accepted the fact that Jace was a werewolf a little too easily.
I prefer books written in 3rd person but this 1st person narrative caught my eye so I thought I’d give it a chance. The only typo I found was that the author kept switching back and forth from how long Jace and Skye knew each other before the start of this story. In one chapter, they’d known each other for two years and, in the next chapter, it’s been three years, then it jumps back to two years. Other than that, the book is very well-written.

This is book 4 in the Wolves of the Rising Sun series. I only have books 1 and 4 on my Kindle, I got them for free, and the first book made sense because it was the beginning of the series. Book 4 confused me so I probably needed to read the previous books to have a full understanding of what’s going on.
We meet Devon, who’s a human, and he knows all about werewolves because his sister is mated to one. There no brief recap of their story or how Devon felt when he first found about werewolves. Devon just accepts them and they’re his family, which is great, but I wanted to know more. He’s a computer hacker and he works with the wolves to help them monitor their properties.
Scarlet left her criminal/hacker boyfriend five years ago for a normal life. Once human, she met a wolf a few years ago and he turned her. Now he’s dead and she’s in danger. Scarlett goes to her mate’s fellow wolf friend, Silas, for help. Devon just happened to be in the bar, he met Silas a few hours ago and completely trusts the stranger, and he reluctantly agreed to help her.
There’s a lot of tension between Scarlett and Devon. She’s condensing, always chastising him for hacking computer systems (which she needs him to do for her) and she’s trying to change him. She doesn’t accept him for himself. All this upsets Devon but he understands why she feels that way. Their romance felt force. I could see the love they felt for each other in the past, but not the rekindling of it.
There are a few loose ends. Scarlett and Devon are living their HEA without any worries the past could come back and bite them. It just didn’t make sense.
The writing is good and there aren’t any typos from what I noticed.
