The second book in Penny Jessup's best selling The Alpha's Son series. It's been three months since their kiss on the beach and Max hasn't heard a whisper from Jasper. With Christmas fast approaching, and despite vowing he would chase Jasper to the ends of the world, Max is ready to give up. Until Alpha Jericho announces he's sending a select envoy of Elite Pack wolves to an allied wolf-pack stationed high in the rocky mountains, where they will bear witness to a Blood Moon. A week in a cozy ski-lodge sounds as romantic as you can get, so Max decides to give things with Jasper one last shot. But life in the mountains is rockier than expected and finding alone time with Jasper is harder than Max thought. Political unrest between the packs is galvanizing Jasper's determination to keep them apart, and new and old suitors are emerging in the pursuit of Jasper's affections. Running headfirst into snow storms, Max begins to question if the destiny he's been chasing is what he really wants. And when the Blood Moon arrives, bringing irrevocable change that no one saw coming, Max and Jasper's connection will be put to the ultimate test. Will they find the path between souls among the snow covered peaks or will the mountain roads lead them to an unexpected destiny?

I don't know if anyone really would like it if I went into big sweeping detail but the truth is, this was a step down from the first volume. It's all well and good that Max is running after Jasper (again) and Jasper is running away (once again the same exact shite), but Jasper's reasons to want to protect Max HAVE NOT CHANGED. Max has not become better at fighting, or running, or defending himself all of a sudden, no, Max is great at whining and whinging and gains powers because of a blood moon (I'd like better explanations on that thank you). But Max still thinks he gets to walk all over Jasper's wants and needs and fears, which he doesn't, just like Jasper shouldn't get to pressure him and decide for him like he did at the end.
This was a 3.75 until the end ruined it.
Final verdict: 3.25
