When two men who have nothing to lose, come together for one night, they both discover a connection they never thought possible.
Jesse Chandler needed a place to get out of the storm. What he found was a bar catering exclusively to wolf shifters. Cade Reynolds, pack Alpha and bar owner, sees nothing but trouble when the small human wanders into his bar. When Jesse signs up for the pool tournament, Cade decides to let him participate, so he’ll lose and leave. Instead, Jesse wins every game he plays until a storm puts the brakes on everything.
Jesse desperately needed to win the tournament prize money, but instead of a nice cosy room, he ends up squatting under a tree for shelter. When Cade invites him home for the night, Jesse has no choice, but to accept. Sit under a tree in the pouring rain or sleep in a house… No one ever said Jesse was a fool.
All Cade wanted was to offer Jesse a place to stay for the night. But one touch from the smaller male made him realise that sleeping wasn’t what was on his mind. Cade wanted Jesse, but the wolf wanted to keep Jesse forever.

This was the first story written by Gwendolyn that I read, but will certainly not be the last. I loved the main characters. These two men, well, one werewolf and one man, are so attracted to each other that they can’t stop touching once they start. It is a paranormal story set in today’s world and, different from many other paranormals, the focus was on them as people, rather than the fact that one of them is a werewolf. Obviously, that fact plays a role in the story development, but I thought it was interesting that it wasn’t dominant.
I liked the fact that Cade was afraid to tell Jesse the truth about his being a shifter, making the otherwise totally dominant man vulnerable. Jesse on the other hand is so adorably desperate for love that it takes him quite a while to believe his luck. Gwendolyn does a great job at describing both men’s emotions, I felt with them throughout.

If you can ignore the fact that everything takes place within a 24 hour time period (going from being strangers to insta-love), then you’re over the hardest part. The connection between Jesse and Cade is instantaneous and strong, but that’s because Jesse is Cade’s fated mate. Jesse’s more than a little confused. He’s never been with a guy, but he’s desperately attracted to Cade. He’s been homeless for much of his life, but he feels completely at home with Cade. And what’s this shifter stuff? Yeah, confused sums it up, but he falls for the big, growly, Alpha shifter regardless. I liked these characters a lot despite the brief visit!

Actually started good; it all seemed interesting. I wanted to know more about Jesse and Cade's neutral Were bar sounded full of promise. It's a short story I was geared to like it.
Then big powerful Cade takes poor homeless Jesse home and their clothes are off before the door closes. Then they are mates.
So Cade turns into a Wolf? So what, they're in love now. Actually saying they love each other when I'm not so sure they've even had a full conversation yet. HUH?
This insta-insta was just a shade to EASY to be satisfying.
In fact EASY is the magic word! Ms Cease could easily have found some different adjectives! According to my kindle it's used 13 times in this one short, short little fic. It really stands out:
His voice carried Easily,
He Easily saw the turnoff,
Easily they tangled tongues,
Easily ducked and rolled
Easily dropped three feet,
Easily leapt over railings
And hell Cade - you're not getting rid of Jesse Easily!
If you're happy with quick mate style HEA then here's a nice little read for you; for me the beginning was good but I lost interest fast, my not-so inner cynic was cackling at all the sudden declarations.
Oh and why does the cover show two shirtless guys on a beach giving their best fake smiles? The story is set at a remote bar during a major bar closing storm!

This was a surprisingly interesting short story for the length. I definitely wouldn't mind reading more about Cade and Jesse and would have liked this story much more as a full length book. While not a huge fan of insta-love, there's not much option in a story of this length.
