Synopsis: April Frost is a compassionate young woman with a steady job and ambitious goals. But the harder she runs away from her past, the more it threatens to destroy her. When three strangers enter her life, April is forced to face her demons and it's a battle she may not win.
Private investigators in the Breed world are men who take risks, and Reno Cole is no exception. As a Shifter, he's expected to control his inner animal. But lately his wolf has been venturing dangerously close to the city, and he's about to discover why. When Reno is reintroduced to a family friend, the attraction is immediate. April captivates him with her secretive eyes and resilient spirit. She's also in trouble, and despite the fact she's a human, Reno can't turn his back on her.
April is caught between two worlds: One that threatens to bury her dreams and another that could fulfill them. Can she trust the wolf at her door and find the courage to overcome her demons?

I’m loving this series more and more with every installment. This book was all about Lexi and Reno. He’s really a protector in the way that most heroes are. While he’s not that Alpha, Austin is (from book 1, Seven Years), he’s still got those protective instincts especially when it comes to April.
Six Months had a very different feel than Seven Years. Not to the extent that if felt like a different series, but the leading lady April was much harder to relate to (in my opinion). Of course without the drama there wouldn’t be a story, but seriously…April did some really dumb things that put everyone in situations that could have gone even more wrong than they already did! I always say that I like a strong heroine, but don’t get me wrong, not every woman needs to be kicking butt and taking names. But at least think things through before doing something utterly stupid! I think that my aggravation with April’s character actually left a mark on how I felt about the story over all. Thank goodness Reno is so amazing.
What made the relationship between Reno and April really interesting is that she’s human and he’s a shifter. That blending of species is frowned upon in the community and when shifters take humans in they are more like “pets”. The fact that they are indeed in a relationship, and Reno could care less what anyone thinks, makes you want to them to work out even more. To top things off, the intimate scenes were very spicy! If you like a bit of heat with your PNR, this has the perfect amount.
Pair a forward moving, and tightly woven plot with amazing audiobook narration and it was a win-win. Nicole Poole's narration has lead this series to become one of my PNR recommendations on audiobook. She rocks it.
The evolving character and wide range of personalities in the Weston Pack really make for fun reading. It's always a joy to see and rediscover the characters that I liked from the previous installments. I can’t wait to see what the next installment, Five Weeks, brings to the table.
If you don’t want to go back and start with Seven Years, no worries, you can start here. You don’t have to start from the beginning, but I recommend it because the story is so good. Each book focuses on a different main couple and is virtually cliffhanger free with a happily ever after for that couple. If you do choose to read from the beginning seeing the connections develop throughout the group makes it even more enjoyable.
