Lowell Hemming is restless, grounded, and desperate to escape the stifling expectations of his famous werewolf family in Cambric Creek. When a mysterious flyer for the Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic catches his eye, he sees the perfect outlet for his mounting frustration. What begins as a simple, transactional arrangement—a way to satisfy a physical itch without the messy complications of a relationship—quickly spirals into something far more profound.
Enter Moriah, a woman recently liberated from a divorce and determined to embrace motherhood on her own terms. By choosing Lowell from a catalog, she expects a straightforward donor, not a partner. However, biology and chemistry have a way of defying even the most rigid contracts. As their paths collide, the line between a professional assignment and a genuine connection begins to blur, forcing both to confront desires they never intended to explore.
C.M. Nascosta delivers a steamy and heartfelt addition to the Cambric Creek world, perfectly capturing the tension of the wolf-shifter genre. This paranormal romance balances playful banter with deep emotional stakes, proving that sometimes the most unexpected encounters lead to the most permanent changes. If you are craving a story where fated bonds defy the fine print, this is your next obsession.

Yes! I knew I loved Lowell, just from the bits and pieces of him or how he was explained/talked about in other books. So far he’s my favorite Hemming, by far! He’s sweet, silly and romantic. Moriah is a perfect fit for him too. C.M. Nascosta has done an amazing job again. The storyline is perfect, so many emotions and I loved every word. I wasn’t expecting the ending to turn out exactly the way it did, but it was better than I imagined it. Nascosta’s writing is so good that you get sucked into...

I'm writing this review during my break from looking at rentals in Cambric Creek. Does anyone else want to move there? Yet another story is making me fall more and more in love with the world C.M. Nascosta is building. I enjoyed the relationship and personal growth of the two main characters and the imaginative idea behind the breeding clinic, although the milking farm is still a wilder idea. I'm only giving it four stars for one main reason: I initially found this book harder to follow with...

This is book three in the series and it is about the Hemming Family, five sons, more specifically Lowell (a twin), and a woman (Moriah) who wants to have a baby. There may be spoilers in my review. The Hemming family father and mother are the best characters and so entertaining. Be sure to read Lowell’s dad’s advice and lecture to Lowell; it is so refreshing and real life (it’s in the last few chapters). There is a lot of information given to the readers about Lowell and Moriah, it borders on...
