Fin and Tristen are best friends and lovers. Fully committed to each other in every which way except legally, these two shifters face your typical couple type of problems. The biggest issue between them being a lack of communication. There is a craving for something darker in Fin. He wants to delve in to BDSM. Having served in the war and still tortured over the death and violence he saw, Tristen suffers form PTSD and he isn’t sure he can provide Fin with what he wants. This causes strife between the lovers.
Although Blood Brothers is book two in a series, it can almost be read as a stand-alone. Almost being the operative word. Blood Brothers was very easy to follow, however, as it began with Tristen and Fin already in a relationship it really can’t be classified as a romance. You get the feeling of almost having started a book and missing the first couple of chapters. That aside, it was a gripping story of two individuals facing real relationship problems. These individuals could have been M/F, F/F or even purple spotted aliens for all the difference it would have made. The problems between them would span sex or gender.
Although Blood Brothers ends in a cliffhanger, the end of the book resolves the relationship between the two shifters. There is much talk of illegal problems and a crime spree and none of this is resolved. I can only assume it would be addressed in future books.
