My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Clayton is one of my all time favorite from Rachelle. This book has every element a reader looks for. If you like books that make you feel the pain and heartbreak, this is it.
One might think this is another rejection story, but it isn’t. It has more element to it.
Based in the world of werewolf shifters we are introduced to Rya’s punishment being delivered. She’s whipped for her attack on fellow packmate and the story unfolds from her point of view.
Clayton, the future alpha of the pack rejects Rya as his mate because he is in love with Kennedy, his childhood friend. The alpha not only punishes her but also restrict other pack members to get involved with her. Rya struggles to accept the rejection and moves out of the pack.
Years later, when Clayton’s pack is in need of a mid-wife, Rya is forced to move back. Now, occupying the dead mid-wife’s lake side home, she is forced to endure the demons from her past. Slowly but surely, the pack warms up to her, but the difficult of all was watching him with her.
Rya steers clear of Clayton and Kennedy, but it’s hard with them being everywhere she goes. And, Clayton now a mature wolf is affected by the mate bond though he doesn’t show it outside. The wolf is in disagreement with his human self.
When Rya tries to adjust in the pack, she meets the pack doctor Dallas, who is too handsome for his own good. Dallas too has a past and the two broken souls slowly warm up to each other when Clayton decides to crash the party.
The rest is for the readers to read and figure out. But I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. I’m in love with how Rya’s character evolved throughout the story. We see her as a teenager and then she grows into this wonderful and strong woman, who isn’t afraid to make her decisions. I love how she learns to love and trust again, especially how she learns to love herself.
Rachelle has once again exceeded the reader’s expectation with one of her strong female leads. The author is known for her unique world of werewolves in its raw nature. So don’t expect a cliché and keep an open mind. The story hits you so hard that it’d be days before you can even think of another story.
The characters just stay with you like forever. It’s the Rachelle magic. Again, none of the characters in this book has it easy. Everyone has their reasons and back stories. Everyone contribute equally and by the end I even found it hard to hate Clayton.
The only question I had when I finished was, “Can you blame someone for falling in love?” You’ll understand this while reading.
This story is divided into two parts because of the length. The second part is coming out in January, so stay tuned.
