This was another book of the Brac Pack series I liked. Tackling the issue of drug abuse isn't easy, and this story contained some good insights into some of the consequences of the addiction, while focusing on the withdrawal process. An interesting additional point was the perspective of a loving partner and what they have to go through.

Drew isn't a guy with a lot of backbone, or determination, when this story starts. He's never had a really difficult time, is a good student - and is tempted by drugs. It's a very realistic scenario. I had the impression that his previous life hadn't prepared him to be a fighter - so it takes a lot for him to "wake up" and understand that he CAN take his life into his own hands.

Remi has always had a good time - until he learns what it's like to have a partner with and addiction. His determineation and support are a big part of what gets Drew through this - but he's also wise enough to let Drew learn how to fight on his own. I would have never thought Remi had it in him (based on what I saw of him in previous books).

If you like shifter-human interaction, with the strong wolf coming in to support a human who needs some help with sorting out his life, you will probably like this book. ( )

I really like this series of books by Lynn Hagen, this is the 4rth in the series and I want to read the 5th one now. Very realistic writing with Drew, I like how she ended the story with him and won't to say to much more on that. ( )

Remi’s Pup is a nice addition to the Brac Pack series by Lynn Hagen; the main difference between this last chapter and the previous stories is that Remi is not a “full” Alpha male. Already in the previous books we had the chance to see that Remi is more “relaxed”; don’t get me wrong, he is strong, and bid, and bad as much as his fellow shapeshifter warriors, but he has a more laissez-faire attitude towards the world, something that will become clear when he will accept to bottom for his mate. To not completely letting him losing the “alpha” male role, the author decided to make Drew an half-breed wolf, so that, even if omega, he is still stronger than a normal human, and as such, he can, sometime, top Remi.

At the fourth book in the series, I’m coming to have the impression that the house where all the strong shapeshifters are living with their mates is like an after-school club; the four twinky mates haven’t nothing to do if not playing and misbehaving, while their Alpha mates (and their still unattached friends) do the house chores, protect them and, at night, ravish them plenty and satisfyingly.

Yes, if you are searching highly dramatic paranormal romances, well, Brac Pack is probably not your series. But if you want something simple and light, and sometime even comic, I suggest you to give it a try. There is only one point I didn’t like, but actually it’s not something I can take upon the author: when Remi and Drew go books shopping, there is again the highlighting of the fact that women do read gay romance, and the characters wonder why… if it was the first time I read that in a novel, I wouldn’t have noticed, but lately it’s almost a common occurrence, and it’s starting to irk me somehow.
