Sully by Lynn Hagen is the sixth book in the Zeus's Pack series.

Julien doesn't think anyone will ever want him because of his scars and bad leg. And once again, his boyfriend James calls him at work to come meet him for lunch. Julien puts up with James's shortcomings because he thinks that even a bad boyfriend is better than being alone. Julien meets James at Theos Bar and all James does is criticize him about his work. Julien leaves for a few minutes, comes back to find a stranger at their table and when he goes to leave, James threatens to hurt him. After being dragged to the bank, Julien manages to get away long enough for the stranger, Austin, to intervene. Julien is suspicious of Austin's motives, even though he knows that Austin is his mate. Austin is instantly attracted to Julien and the passes he makes are anything but subtle. Sully, a warrior in Zeus's Pack, is at Theo's when he sees two men, Julien and Austin, being harassed, and when he goes to help, he realizes they are his mates. Neither Julian nor Austin fully trusts Sully's motives, but they are willing to wait and see what he wants. Julien can't believe that he now has two men interested in him, and he knows that James will be back in spite of Sully warning for him to stay away. Is Julian ready to let his guard down and explore his feelings for Austin and Sully? Have they really seen the last of James?

Julien is a complex character with many facets to his personality. As his past was revealed, it was apparent to this reader that he had good reasons not to trust strangers. Many young people live with verbal and physical abuse at home, but somehow Austin didn't let it color the way he looked at the world. His willingness to explore his feelings for Julien in spite of Julien's distant behavior showed his strength of character. Austin's first reaction when he learned about shifters was hysterical, especially when he yelled at Sully to put something on instead of flipping out after witnessing a shifter fight. The growing feelings between Austin, Julien, and Sully were beautiful to behold. It was fascinating to see how the many paranormal aspects were interwoven into this contemporary, fast-paced story. I love how the mates once again got themselves into hot water, needing the warriors to come to their aid. They will never learn and I look forward to their antics as they try to outwit their warriors.
