I read this story as part of this two book collection: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56848384-unacceptable-risk-includes-unsettle...

If you read my review to Unacceptable Risk the review for this book is at the bottom since I reviewed both together. I'm going to post here, my review for 'Interlude'.

Unsettled Interlude is the perfect title for this short story. It starts immediately the next morning after the first book. In this book Paul and Simon get down to some serious talks about whether or not they should leave the pack or stay. Paul hates the fact that a child was killed by the pack and doesn’t want to have any part of ‘people’ that do that. Simon tries to explain why it was necessary. Simon also understands better than Paul that there are still werewolves that hate the idea that he’s gay and will come after both of them. They have more protection within the pack than alone.

I’m not sure how long after the first book this story was written but the characters’ personalities are consistent. I liked that the author had Paul and Simon debate some serious issues that weren’t resolved from the first book. Paul shows a lot more anger about the werewolves’ methods of ruling their pack.

Unsettled Interlude isn’t action-packed like the first book, but the emotional turmoil Paul and Simon are dealing with in their relationship carries the plot. Some of their issues are resolved at the end, but not all. I’d give the book 4.5 stars only because it’s more low-keyed than Book 1. But this story is just as well written and since I can’t give half stars, I’m giving this book, 5 Stars ( )

This is a short interlude, set the day after the last book ended. Very short, very sweet and just right! ( )
