Two by Sandra R. Neeley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Two has struggled all his life to fit in. His own father didn’t even want him, and walked out on him and his mother. As a result, he’s always believed that if a father isn’t willing to be front and center for his children, then he shouldn’t have them. Being a father is a gift that should be valued above all else. So, imagine his utter shock when he’s told that somewhere out there, he’s got a son. And that son is all alone in this world. The moment he hears the news, everyone and everything else falls to the wayside. He’s going to find his son — now — and nothing will stand in his way. Unfortunately, one of those things that gets left behind in the mad rush, is Shauna. And after being thrown aside this time, she swears it’s the last time.

Shauna is living in Alliance, working as an administrative assistant. She’s happy with the exception of one thing. The male she’s set her sights on, fell in love with at first sight, doesn’t seem to feel the same way she does. She was drawn to Two the first time she ever saw the big male. He’s not like the rest. He’s simple, and good, and… happy. Only now, she’s thinking she completely misread Two’s intentions. He’s stood her up before, this was his last chance. She’s done. She deserves someone who wants her as much as she wants them, and obviously Two doesn’t feel that way.

Two’s son is out there somewhere alone in a system that despite its good intentions isn’t always able to provide for the kids that have no choice but to depend on it for their very survival. But his life is about to change. There’s a male on the way, and this male will never allow him to be alone, or mistreated again. This male would give his life for him. And he just may have to do that. But Two might not have to fight alone, if he’d just open his eyes and take notice of those around him who are willing to stand with him.

The Hero: Two – he was in the special forces in the military and was put into an experimental program to create super soldiers. He went through torture, abuse and genetic manipulation until he was freed. He is now considered a Variant (no longer fully human). He was part of the first group of Variants and was on SOT Team Alpha while they rescued more of their kind. Though he decided to quit that work and now he delivers packages to all the residents of Alliance Ranch (where all the Variants live).

The heroine: Shauna – she was held in one of the experimentation facilities and was a Reward for the Variants. She now lives on the Alliance Ranch and works at the administration office. She has had a crush on Two for a while and they have been trying to date but haven’t been able to work out a good time to get together yet.

The Story: Just when Shauna and Two have a big date scheduled and he is cooking her a big chili dinner. However, Lethal and all the rest of Team Alpha stop over at Two’s home and give him some news that he has a child that he never knew about, and that boy has been living in foster care since his mother died when he was a baby. Two and the team immediately take off and go get the boy, which causes problems with Shauna since Two stands her up for their date and causes problems with Social Services since they basically kidnap the kid from his abusive foster home.

I have to say, this was one of the most heartwarming stories I have read in a while. I mean how great Two was with his son, and how he bought him everything he needed, and spent time with him and how they bonded so quickly. It was so great that you just knew that something bad had to happen. But I loved it. I liked Two from the very beginning of the first book in this series and couldn’t wait for his book and it didn’t disappoint.

There were also some side storylines about Ice and the blonde woman who was sick in the last book and how she had some connection to Feral. That was really interesting and though Ice was very possessive and dominant, he was so gentle with her. I have liked Feral from the first also, so I was hoping he would have his own book, but I don’t see one yet. I hope Sandra Neeley is writing more books for this series.
