Jason has no last name, just a number. Born and bred in the labs to be a killer, he and his pack have escaped, and have been hiding among the humans for years. Jason also harbors a dangerous secret. He is in love with one of the doctors who used to oversee his care, and after years of careful self-control, he can't hold back anymore.
George Green helped the pack to escape, and he's been a prisoner of the Wolfhounds ever since, but that's not enough to distract him from his lust for one particular alpha in the pack.
It's sick. George cannot believe himself for having such thoughts, not after what he once put Jason through. But his love and lust are so great that he can hardly resist when Jason takes what he wants, and though George wants it, he believes Jason cares nothing for him, and he doesn't know if his heart can handle that.

This book was very fast-paced, the world of wolfhounds expanding and slowly unraveling as the series continues. What I really like about Marcy Jacks is how she makes sure all books are interrelated through the characters; she tells you about them, makes you want to know more about them, so that when she finally writes their story, you're already fairly invested. I myself look forward to some of them, in fact.
There's a certain maturity to both George and Jason that makes their relationship work. George is human but he's far from being a weakling; he has a responsibility to the pack and he's really good at it. I think it's perfectly understandable that he has some ambivalence about his pack standing, seeing as he was one of those who used to experiment on Jason and the others. I like him because he has his own fears, but at the same time he enjoys what he's doing, perhaps even takes pride in it, and he doesn't want to quit it just because he's a little intimidated. Jason, despite being five years younger than George, is actually fairly straightforward about the whole mating process. He's already made a decision that likes George, so he does something about it, and despite the good amount of miscommunication and hitches along the way, he comes into terms with the mating easily. I think he's even relieved to find out that George is his mate, since it makes the claiming much easier.
One of the biggest reasons I love this book is because it showed us more about Phoenix, who hates humans. A lot. In my review of the previous installment, I had this weird theory that Phoenix may actually be Joey’s mate, too, because hey, who doesn’t like menage, right? (I hate menage lol.) This book stomps on that idea and completely tosses it out the window, which I'm very, very glad for. I savored the last few pages telling of Phoenix and that small strip of cloth he managed to snag from his human in the hospital. I was giggling like mad when he admitted feeling like a pervert for practically making a treasure out of the cloth and sniffing it like his own personal cocaine. It was hilarious; I really wanted his mate to be human and I'm giddy to know what will happen because it's apparently the case.
I ventured out a little more and checked if there was already a summary about Phoenix and his human mate – there’s no way the next book isn’t about them! – so I went to Siren Bookstrand and apparently the release date of the sixth book is November 28. That's just two more weeks away and I'M. SO. EXCITED.
Even better, it looks like Rogue Wolfhounds #7 will be about Hyde, if the title is anything to go by. (Sorry, Hyde, but who else will be called the Monster Alpha?) This one will be out December 5, just a week after Phoenix's book. I'm a sucker for "wounded" characters, and I'm really looking forward to reading about a wolfhound outside Max's original pack.
