The Wolf on Her Doorstep
By: Kate Pearce
My Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
Book Blurb:
In Morgan Valley, two wary loners discover they’re perfect together . . .
Beth Baker can tell that her summer tenant wants to be left to himself, and that suits her more than fine. Conner O’Neil is a brooding, retired Navy SEAL whose only friend seems to be his pet half-wolf, Loki. But Beth becomes concerned when Loki turns up on her doorstep, demanding she follow him back to Conner’s cabin . . .
Ailing, Conner would rather stay holed up like a wounded animal than allow anyone to nurse him back to health. But he quickly learns that resisting Beth is futile. Another discovery: they have more in common than he expected. She’s an irresistible blend of strength and gentleness, and soon enough, Conner wants to show her it’s okay to trust him, because he’ll never let trouble reach her side again
I was provided an copy by NetGalley and the Publisher for an honest review.....
'The Wolf on Her Doorstep' was originally published as part of an anthology. I have enjoyed both of Pearce's series that revolve around Morgan Valley and this is a novella set in the same world. The main male character, Conner O'Neill previously appeared in another book in the series so there was already a familiarity. Conner wasn't much of a likable character at that time but in this book he opens up and becomes more relatable. I wish we had gotten more back story on Conner but there is enough about his time with the Navy Seal's to understand he struggles from PSTD. Beth has had plenty of bumps in her life so on some level she can relate to Conner's state of mind. The drama aspect to the novella revolves more around Beth, her two sons, and her ex-husband who was abusive during their marriage. I enjoyed this book and finished it in one sitting, it was very engaging and easy to read.
