Read for URR Halloween challenge- werewolf category.

I keep telling myself that these books are awful. That I really need to stop reading them. I keep telling myself that this one is the last I'm going to read. Well, guess what?



These books really aren't that great, but they're fucking adorable and so much fun to read. I have made peace with the fact that I love these books and plan to read all of them, quality be-damned. They make me happy.

Moving on.

This is Colton's book. He's a wolf shifter and he's been dreaming of his mate, Rheia. She happens to have an adopted four-year-old daughter, Penny, but Colton doesn't know that yet. Rheia has also been dreaming of her mate but she doesn't really know it because she's human. When Rheia and her daughter are attacked, her paranormal friends (who she sees as her brothers) tell her to make her way to the Alpha estate in Lycaonia and when she arrives, she meets Colton for the first time. Colton is relieved to finally have found his mate but is surprised to find out he's now a dad. Everyone at the Alpha estate immediately falls in love with Penny, his new daughter. From there the book is mostly about Colton trying to get Rheia to accept him as a mate and learning to be a father to a very traumatized four-year-old girl who hasn't spoken since she witnessed her parents attack and murder. Of course, everyone is still trying to find out what the Ferals want and why the hell they feel the need to murder people, especially pregnant paranormal women.

Rheia and Colton were a bit boring as a couple. I liked that Rheia spent most of the book refusing to accept Colton as her mate because it was a little more realistic, especially for a human. Shifters/vampires/witches etc..are used to the idea of mates. Humans, not so much. There was nothing wrong with Colton and Rheia as a couple, there just wasn't anything spectacular about them either. He was gorgeous, kind, and funny. She was smart, strong, and beautiful. You know, the normal stuff. They were certainly compatible in bed, though. Very compatible. Dayum.



Honestly, the best part of these books is the ever-growing list of secondary characters. I look forward to their part of the plot and checking in on them. In fact, now that I think about it, the main characters are usually my least favorite part of the books. Somehow it still manages to work.

The plot is often ridiculous, they are filled with absurd instaloves, and there were a few grammatical errors but for some reason, I just didn't care. This series is hilarious and I always laugh out loud. Several times. These books don't take themselves too seriously and they are a great escape. Award-winning literature? I think not. But I'm not going to let that bother me.



And yes, of course, I'm going to keep reading the series.
