With Caution by J.L. Langley. Published by Samhain Publishing, Ltd.
Summary: A brother’s vow. A lover’s promise. Both could put them all at deadly risk.
Remington Lassiter is trying his best to stay out of trouble while he learns the ropes of being a werewolf. When his little brother turns up covered in bruises, he is driven to finally bring their abusive father to justice. To do it, he must face a past he hides behind his cocky, trouble-making attitude. A past so dark it haunts him only in dreams.
Jake Romero, a crack private investigator with a bad-boy biker image, realizes he has his work cut out for him when Remi asks for his help. From the first moment he turned Remi into a werewolf in order to save his life, Jake has been fighting to keep his inner demons at bay. He’s torn between the desire to tell Remi they are destined to be mates, and the need to first let Remi get used to the werewolf life.
Jake will do anything to protect Remi and help him break the cycle of abuse he has endured all his life, but his investigation is about to uncover something far more sinister and deadly than they ever imagined.
A past that could put all their lives at risk.
Why I liked this book: This is definitely a page-turner and a true sequel in that you have to have read Without Reservations to understand how Remi is a new wolf and the type of man he was to his friends. Learning about Remi's past, his present and being uncertain about his future is as scary for the reader as it is for the characters. Langley weaves such an intriguing tale with this sequel that you are engrossed in the story from the get-go. You WANT to understand Remi's trepidation with his feelings for Jake and see how he overcomes his fears to protect himself and his little brother. The dialogue is so wonderful, you feel like you're sitting in the room, bar, bedroom with the characters and seeing everything they are.
Excerpt: "Mmm..." Jake unfastened and parted Remi's jeans. When he got the denim past Remi's thighs, he dropped to his knees and buried his face against Remi's dark green jock. Opening his mouth, Jake sucked the shaft of Remi's cock through the cotton.
Remi's hip bucked and he moaned. He barely wrapped his brain around what was happening before Jake tugged the jock aside, baring his balls and prick.
After licking up to the tip of Remi's cock, Jake closed his mouth over the head. God, had anything ever felt so good? Remi's hands dug for purchase on the wood door, but he didn't move them. Jake had told him not to. And why did the idea of Jake commanding him not to move his hands make Remi's cock flex and leak precome?
Slipping down further, Jake caressed Remi's shaft with his tongue and sucked softly.
Remi gasped and clenched his ass cheeks together. "Jake.."
"Be still, pup, and don't come." Jake held Remi's hips against the door in an almost bruising grip. His gaze darted back up to Remi then he took Remi's cock between his lips again.
Review: (★★★★ out of 5 stars) The story is entrancing. The characters are believable and personable. You know people like Jake and Remi and Chay and Keaton and even Sterling. It's a super-fast, andrenaline-kicking, blood-pumping rollercoaster ride of emotions and... a sequel is in the works!
