How It Has to Be

Mercy. This was a word Brick Bane had never understood until his brother spared his life three weeks ago. As bear shifter with a failed mission, he’s watching his brother’s every move to try and discover what has changed him so much. The only thing that makes sense? The girl his brother has broken the rules with. There’s a waitress in town who is paying a little too much attention to Brick, and now he’s wondering why she’s calling so strongly to him. The rules are simple: Never touch a human’s skin, never fall for a woman, and never, ever let a human find out what he is. But this beguiling creature is slowly making him want to break the rules of the Oath of Bane too. The only problem? The consequence is complete annihilation…for both of them. Trinity is just trying to get her head above water right now, but when a big, burly, sexy-as-fire mountain man starts frequenting her restaurant, she can’t help but be distracted. He’s rough around the edges, and blunt, and has these crazy rules, but he’s also protective, and kind to her in surprising moments. After the year she’s had, she sure could use the feeling of safety he provides. The issue with that? Brick Bane’s life is anything but safe. There’s a big bad bear in the woods hunting them, and the crows in the sky say something is very, very wrong. She has two options. One, go back to the safe life, or two, stand beside Brick and weather the storm that is barreling toward them. Destiny is coming for the Bane brothers, and Trinity is determined not to let Brick hide from it any longer. Only her love can awaken the monster. Don’t miss this exciting second installment in T. S. Joyce’s bestselling Oath of Bane novella series. Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets. Intended for mature audiences.

Book 2 is by far my favorite!!

I really enjoyed this series!!! My only complaint is that I had to search the own list of books that the author wrote to find books 2 and book 3 available too (How it needs to be) I wish it was grouped together!!!!

Love Brick!

I love love loved this one!!! I had planned not to read this one just because I didn’t really care for the first book I felt it was very open ended and a lot of questions were not answered. Saw there was gonna be a fourth book and so I decided to give the second book a try. I’m so glad I did I loved Brick! He really is afraid and doesn’t want anything to do with the humans. But some thing keeps drawing him back to Trinity. The emotions of him coming off the page. How he didn’t know what was going on, how confused he was wjth these feelings. It was very well written.

Loved when he complemented her and he said, “ you smell like pancake batter and bacon grease. “

I love his next sentence
“I like bacon. “

How sweet is that! He was trying and didnt even realize it.

I also want to mention Tucker. He is a delight to have added to the story. He made me smile and Brick’s heart melt a bit on more than one occasion.
