🎓High School Reunion

Every high school has a bully who has gone unpunished.
Walking the halls of my high school after two decades reminds me why I’ve blocked those years from my memory. The walls hold secrets but perhaps none as potent as the woods behind the school where a life ended too soon.
I wasn’t able to make a difference then. But I’m not a frightened kid anymore. Bullies no longer scare me. It’s time to deliver long overdue consequences to those who have never been held accountable for their actions.
With my pack of wolf dogs and this blindingly bright fake boyfriend at my side, nothing can go wrong.

Rhodes by Crea Reitan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rhodes Van Doren, pauses his hunting (murder) of a corrupt governor to make a date for a reunion. Once he’s made his request he’s back to finishing off the governor. He’s a tad cold blooded and with his trained pack of killer wolf/dogs he nearly invincible. Bennett make a date for the weekend. He doesn’t realize it’s with a Van Doren. When he meets Rhodes and his wolves he has no idea what a life changing experience he’s in for.
I adored Bennett’s sunshine. His ridiculous song lyrics are endearing as was his immediate love of the Pack. Rhodes is out to avenge an old wrong and finds a sympathetic partner in Bennett. It seems that anyone who comes into the Van Doren universe is destined to find his other half. Rhodes thoughts…“I get to look at his bright smile for a while longer and feel the way his sunshine seems to penetrate into my chest. Yeah. I think I’m going to like that”.
This was a shorter story but very complete. Get ready for Van a Doren’s idea of entertainment (bloodletting), sexy times, and precious killer pets.

About the Author:
Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…
When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
