Title: Healing Hunter’s Heart (A Little Bit of Love #2)
Author Name: Charlie Cochet
Publication Date & Length: April 24, 2015 – 200 pgs

Months after being forced to leave his lover and mate Ari Jannsen behind, Hunter Devin settles into his role as Enforcer for the newly formed Deagan Clan under the rule of his new Alpha and best friend Tristan “Trip” Hagan. Along with Hunter’s brother Boone, their nephews, sister, and mother, Hunter finally has the family he’s always wanted, but without his little rebel Ari, his heart is incomplete.

The Hagan Clan is unable to accept the Deagan Clan’s betrayal for walking away and taking the clan’s pups with them. War looms. As both clans plan their attack, a greater enemy plots against them. But Hunter is determined to get his Ari back. Bonds are put to the test and unexpected alliances are made as Hunter and his clan set out to protect their own and end the spreading heartache.

I loved this story.  It was heartfelt, sad, full of backstabbing and action.  All the things that make books awesome to read.  Cochet did an amazing job of describing the love between Ari and Hunter.

This story also went through aspects where family was so much more than a pack.  The “pure” pack had some seriously misguided members.  I wanted to cry so hard when I read about Trip’s tragedy, but wanted to yell and scream at his father.  I could see very clearly the tight rope that Trip’s mom was trying to walk, all the while trying to stay true to her husband and her son.

Love is so much more than blood.  It is who you make of it – and while Ari and Hunter had huge obstacles in their lives, I loved how they were able to overcome and solve the great issues.  Ari was understanding of Hunter’s “protector” blood – when Hunter was ashamed, Ari was so compassionate towards Hunter.

Also, Hunter’s worry for Ari – always asking covertly – you could really see the love.
