A Companion Story to A Handful of Wolf (Snowdonia Wolves 2) ~Can be read as a standalone ~Itβs their first Christmas together, and Sasha wants to make it memorable for his Mate, Megan. However, it looks as though she has some surprises for him too. Sasha's homesick for the snow of the Welsh mountains, but the New Zealand sun and Santas in board shorts are worth it, if he gets to spend the holiday with his Mate, Megan. Besides, he's got a surprise planned for their first Christmas together. When he discovers he's not the only one keeping secrets, his plans threaten to crumble. Can he make this a holiday theyβll never forget, for all the right reasons?
I’ve grown to be quite the fan of the Snowdonia series by Sofia Grey. So it came as a pretty big surprise to me that after reading this one, I felt it was fitting, but not necessarily the best one in the series. Although very sweet, in fitting with the other novellas in this series it was a bit too Pollyanna for me.
Sasha is stuck in New Zealand for two years because that is what he promised his mate. For a wolf accustomed to snow and mountains, this is a huge commitment. Let us not forget that wolves are pack animals and he is essentially going to be packless for two years for Megan. Yet he makes the sacrifice for her. He merely puts on a brave smile and keeps his feelings to himself. From the start it seemed Sasha was the only one giving in the relationship. This set the tone of disenchantment for me for the rest of the story.
Yes, they are a very sweet couple. And you can’t deny that they love each other. But there was that something missing that is evident in the previous stories. Maybe it’s Sasha’s very obvious homesickness that affected me more than any other part of the story, but I felt that Sasha was wearing his feelings on his sleeve and Megan not acknowledging them made her a bit selfish and self centered. However, and this is a biggie, Megan quickly redeems herself in my eyes and all is well that ends well.
Overall, once it’s all said and done, this was a wonderful addition to the Snowdonia Wolves series. Can it be read as a standalone as the author suggests? Possibly, but I wouldn’t suggest it. As I stated, Megan does not come across well in the beginning of this short novella. However, readers who have read the previous stories and know the ins and outs of Sasha and Megan’s relationship would know something is up when she barely acknowledges his feelings. So I would definitely recommend this series be read in order for maximum enjoyment.
