3.5 of 5 stars

Ten years ago Stardust Luntz panicked when her boyfriend declared his love and wanted to marry her and ran. Ten years later she returns to the reservations after an abusive marriage with her son.

Lake Sani is Chief of the reservation and never stopped loving Stardust, when she returns to the reservation he has high hopes to restart their relationship until he finds out the secret she's been keeping from him.

This is a second chance romance that requires a lot of forgiveness as Stardust didn't tell Lake about his son for ten years., with a side of abusive, stalker ex-husband. It's hard to understand Stardust's reasoning for lying and staying in an abusive situation for ten years. It's also hard to reconcile a shifter's wolf tolerating being beaten that long. This story would have worked better for me if she had returned sooner and if her wolf had protected her in some way.

I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review. My copy had some editing and timeline issues. That said I expect any editing issues will be resolved before publishing.
