A Liar's Moon (Strength of the Pack 2) by Joy Lynn Fielding


A journalist set on exposing shifters, and a wolf who's determined to protect his pack, his family. Will these two be destined to fail before they even start? Or will fate find a way?


From the A Liar’s Moon blurb:

Chasing this story could make him. But it might also break him.


This should be easy—slide into town undercover, dig up the local pack’s dangerous secret, and score a headline that finally gets his father’s attention. Too bad Riley hasn’t counted on meeting Jason—and that dimpled smile that knocks him sideways, making it hard to remember what he’s here to do.

For Jason, guys like Riley don’t come to Elk Ridge. They definitely don’t walk into his diner. But it wouldn’t matter even if they did—Jason’s used to feeling like the background to everyone else’s life, even in his pack. Except, somehow, Riley notices him. Really sees him. And for the first time, Jason believes he could be wanted. Maybe… even loved.

Riley’s great at lying, especially to himself. He tells himself he can break his story, earn back his father’s love, and still keep Jason. But those flashes of guilt when Jason looks at him, open and trusting, are getting harder to ignore.

If Riley walks away from the story, he loses his last shot at redemption. His last chance not to be a failure. But if Jason finds out the truth, Riley will break the sweetest man he’s ever known.

A Liar’s Moon is Book Two in Strength of the Pack—a complete series of character-driven MM fated-mates romances with standalone love stories, an overarching series plot, slow-burn tension, and shifters who absolutely do not talk about their feelings (until they do).

Note: This novel is a substantially reworked and expanded new edition of the novella originally published by Siren Bookstrand in 2013.


Angel's review:

Ahh, Jason is absolutely precious! I was curious about his character after reading the first book in this series. Whenever he was mentioned it always had to do with what he was cooking but no further information. But in THIS book, his book, we get to know so much more about this adorable wolf.

I absolutely love Jason, his character is just so precious! He's so kind, caring, attentive, and loves his pack and his community. And while he has some insecurities and worries about his place in his pack, once he talks those out with his family, he realizes he never had to worry about not having a home with them. I liked that he was feeling these big feelings and even before he could talk about them his pack, his family, knew something was off and did what they could to make him feel better. Which was so beautiful to see!

As far as the reporter goes... I wasn't a big fan of his in the beginning, I didn't love how he seemed to thrive off of lying and spreading vicious rumors. Also, how he talked about shifters being less then? I hated that. However, as the story went on we get to learn more about who he really is, not the version of himself he became to please others. That's when I started liking his character more. Plus, him standing up to a certain pack member in order to talk to Jason was the moment his character won me over.

Altogether this was a really great book! I like how the second book started off roughly around the same time book one ended. I also enjoyed how that found family aspect is still very present, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of these pack members find their mates.
