Sasha Harris is headed into the unknown.

In the mountains of Montana, a new Crew is setting up territory, and Sasha has a dozen reasons to pick up her entire life and move to the outskirts of Wreck’s Mountains. Sasha’s sister is paired with the Alpha of that Crew, and though she knows little of shifter life and culture, Sasha has been invited to be a part of their story. Problem number one? The crew is made up of escaped convicts from a shifter prison in Alaska, and they are all absolutely wild. Problem number two? Sasha’s family is losing their minds over her move. Problem number three? Reed—the hottest, most unattainable man she’s ever encountered.

Sasha is supposed to be starting fresh and learning who she is while her life is in transition, but Reed has been ordered to make her move to Montana as seamless as possible, and now Sasha is at serious risk of having the biggest adventure of her entire life.

Reed has been working for a decade to get to this moment, but when his past drags him back to his old habits, he has to find a way to anchor himself to this world. Sasha is a beautiful distraction, but she’s human and fragile compared to his inner Komodo Dragon. Or so he thinks. He’s fresh out of Cold Foot Prison, new to Wreck’s Crew, and trying to figure out his life, but this gorgeous sister of one of his Crewmates blows into town and turns his world upside down.

Wreck says she’s off-limits to him and the other males of the Crew, but Reed can’t stay away from her. Together, he and Sasha are going to break all the rules.

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Cold Foot Komodo is the second title in the Wreck’s Mountains series, and introduces us to Sasha and Reed.  One human entering into the shifter world, sister to the Alpha’s mate, and completely hung up on the sizzling shifter, Reed, who was to help make her move to Wreck’s Mountains smooth and easy.  She never could have imagined the experiences she was about to encounter, or what being a sexy komodo shifter’s mate would involve… but she won’t back down from this attraction, no matter what others think is “best” for her.

I loved Sasha and Reed, both individually and as a couple.  Reed is still dealing with being imprisoned at Cold Foot Prison for a crime he didn’t commit.  Yet, he did his time (and more than he should have) and survived.  Sasha is surprisingly upbeat, especially considering the actions of her controlling, manipulative, piece of work mother… anyone would want to get away from that!  Watching them navigate the new crew, both their pasts, and the edicts of an alpha who should have known better was a fun, engaging journey.

If you love a well-written, emotional, passionate shifter romance with characters you’ll love, especially the offbeat ones, then you’re going to love Cold Foot Komodo by T. S. Joyce.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
