This was book 11 in the
"Vale Valley Season 3
series. Father Joseph Jenna who is a tiger shifter has been through a lot he suffers from PTSD with memory loss. Father Joseph is mean and gruff and he curses a lot. Diego who is a wolf shifter is a friend of Myra and Mateo comes to the Valley for a business meeting with Vale Valley Hospital is lonely he has a cat but he wants a mate. When he sees a tiger shifter he knows he has found him. This was not easy Father Joseph didn't believe in fated mates but his body begins doing funny things when he is around Diego. I always thought he was an alpha. When the old witch tells Diego about Joseph's past and tells him that he has to be patient. I really liked this book and when Joseph remembered what happened to his family I was sad. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.

Unforgettable Faith, Michael Mandrake's contribution to Season 3 of Vale Valley, is one hell of a hot romance.
Joseph is a priest who's fighting his attraction to Diego. They're two alphas, two different species, one a tiger, one a wolf. Both question how they are even attracted to one another.
Their story is one of secrets, confusion, heat and lust. Diego suffers from memory issues, which makes for some interesting moments.
The writing is great, with a good storyline and a hot couple. The flow is seamless, and the development well done.
And, damn, the hot factor is high on this one. There's shifter sex, which we don't see often enough. And holy crap, more altar sex! Damn! Super hot and steamy!
I am still in awe of Unforgettable Faith. I love Joseph and Diego together, and I really love their chemistry. You need to read this one when you're in the mood for a steamy, omegaverse read.

4.5 stars Right off with this book I was hooked. Both characters are linked, although they don't know it yet at the beginning of the book. One a tiger shiftier, Reverend Joseph has headaches and memory problems which he hates to the point giving up on finding his soul mate. Funny that Diego has them too with visions of Joe. This is a great book featuring things that I love reading. Opposites attract, enemies to lovers, knotting, telepathic thoughts, and hot sexy scenes also mpreg. Futures a twist with poor Joseph but it concludes with a HEA. I've read two books from this author and both good ones, easy to get in to the story..heres to many more..

Michael Mandrake's Unforgettable Faith is part of the third season releases of the multi-author series, Vale Valley. This is a fun, sweet and sexy read. An Alpha priest who turns out to be an omega....fun! I loved Diego and Joseph. And the supporting characters were great. There was a taste of angst, a dose of humor and lots of love. Overall a fantastic addition to Vale Valley.
I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

Wow! I loved the characters in this story a lot! Both Diego and Father Joseph were very well developed and presented. The plot and character quirks were spot on. The only thing I found a bit lacking was development of some of the plot points. I would have loved for the book to be a bit longer to address those. Overall though, it was a very good read.

Great book
I loved Joseph's snark and sarcasm, but at times it bordered on pure anger and just mean. Diego was just so charming and sweet, and he saw right through Joseph snarkiness. I'm so glad that Joseph remembered his past and didn't stay mad at Diego. They made a phenomenal couple and a wonderful romance.

I've been waiting for Father Joseph and Diego's story for a while, and it was SO worth it!!! This was such a fantastic, sweet, grab-you-by-the-feels, charming, slightly angsty, delightful, sexy, and totally awesome tale. It's a marvelous addition to the Vale Valley series.

I read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this story. Let me just say as I have before that I love the Valley. Each new addition melts my heart. This one had me worried for the priest but thankfully his strong willful alpha is able to pull him around.

I really loved Father Jospeh and Diego! It was a great addition to the Vale Valley series. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy MM romance, and a relationship between a wolf shifter Father and a tiger shifter.

Love it
This was good ,a tragic past has this tiger shifter refusing his mate. Diego of course won't give up. I think this was very different from the other books but I loved it.

Joseph & Diego
This story took a while for me to get into, the two things that got me was, one the quick witted responses from Joseph. And the fact that Diego was Puerto Rican cause I am too lol.
Character breakdown;
Joseph: the man was aggressive and had me intrigued with his past life. I liked his sarcastic ways and grumpiness too. Bonus points for his dirty dirty ways.
Diego: from NY, Puerto Rican AND a wolf, it’s like this character was written out of my own head. He was fun to read about and I liked how he interacted with Joseph.
Although I did eventually enjoyed this book it took sometime for me to get fully immersed into it. The book started slow and I was losing interest in the characters until the meet up accord and then I was intrigued. I give this book a 6.5/10 ⭐️

MM MPREG paranormal shifter mating Vale Valley romance. Lonely wolf shifter Diego goes on a business trip to Vale Valley, where he encounters confused tiger shifter Joseph. The book is a continuation of the author's Lance and Mateo story (or stories, I can't recall). It assumes you have all those characters and events fresh in your mind.
I found the story interesting, but I skimmed all the sex scenes (as I usually do).
Typos: This book hasn't ever come near an editor, and there appears to have been absolutely no proofreading. I flagged at least one error per page. It is too long, common words are confused for similar ones, commas and apostrophes are in the wrong place, and sentence fragments abound.

It was okay, I guess I'm not a fan of religious themes in omegaverse books but it's okay

I'm just not sure about this book. I'm thinking it might partially have to do with the occupation of one of the MCs. I usually love fates mates and I just couldn't get into this book.

A tiger and a wolf walk in to a church... Can you say "fated mates"?
OMG I loved this book! I have been waiting for it, and it is well worth the wait. Only people who need love and a home find Vale Valley. Her magic and Fate is waiting, even for the unbelievers . Old friends are back. There is a hint of another book. There are tigers, wolves, witches and vampires, mpreg and a baby. What's not to love! This book stands alone, but I recommend reading Breakable Faith and Renewed Faith as well. You will be glad you did. They are wonderful.
This is Father Joseph and Diego's story. Joseph thinks he is too broken, that no one can love him, and that he is incapable of loving. Diego knows from the first scent that the surly tiger is his fated mate. Although it appears they are both alphas, Diego is determined to make Joseph see they are fated, even if he must be very patient to do so. Joseph has a big hole in his memory. With Diego 's kind care, the memories came flooding back. Then the sparks really fly!
You will fall in love with them as they fall in love. You will ache, cry, laugh, and cheer them on as their love grows. This is a feel-good story. HEA assured. You will love this book! Get it now.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.
