Reclaiming Home by Tia Fielding
3.0
3 stars
I’ve previously read and enjoyed some of Tia Fielding’s work, so when this was offered on GRR and I read the blurb, I figured this was right up my alley. Unfortunately I wanted to enjoy it more than I did.
What I liked
The idea of the story. I liked the idea of a wolf who is thrust into the job of Alpha and seeing how he gets the pack back on track. In some ways this was good. I liked how Brodie interacted with the pack, he came across alpha when needed and he gave the pack members somewhere safe to land. Some of the pack members had big issues and help was given when needed. There were also renovations that were needed to the pack house he inherited. I think it helped that he had a friend with money, so no problem was really an issue as the money was there for the taking.
Kye and Carys. The two human pack members, brother and sister, were a great addition to the storyline. I think Carys was really brave and the fact that she wanted to stay there after what happened to her is amazing. It was good seeing her come out of her shell was the story progressed and she became more comfortable with the pack members. I also liked that Kye when faced with becoming part of a pack decided to research before making assumptions and tried to learn everything he could about wolves.
I also enjoyed that the relationship between Brodie and Kye was taken slowly. They didn’t rush into a sexual relationship just because they were mates, they took the time to get to know each other and till they were ready.
What I didn’t like
The D/S Parts. I know that was in the blurb but really didn’t have any impact on the story and it felt like it was only brought out occasionally. Brodie to me didn’t come across as Dom, he was too soft and spent majority of the time making sure everyone was comfortable.
The relationship between Brodie and Rian. I’ll be honest – I really like Rian but that fact that Brodie kept calling Rian sweetness and telling him he loved him, it felt like they were the main couple, not a friendship and they came across as the better pairing at times. They were more believable as they felt like they had the better connection.
I also wasn’t a fan of the relationship between Ben and Max, with what was alluded to, if I understood it correctly, it didn’t sit well with me as that is hard limit and a warning would have been appreciated. I felt for Max and he really needed the healing of the pack.
All in all I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted and my mind wondered a bit, but I also really want to know what happened between Rian and Holden so I’ll probably read their book
