It’s messy and that’s hard to get past

I have loved every other book in the series so far, but I was triggered triggered triggered by so many sharp shifts. First, okay I get it. Hidden mate bond but duuuuude…. He is a total a**h**e. I was so offended by how unoffended she was. That and the fact that Zoey didn’t put him in his place when he was being a douchecanoe to her friend.
Compared to Nat’s book, she looked so sulky. I would have been done with his shifter/witch racist butt in chapter one. And the irony of his mistrust after you reach the middle and what he does and how accepting his was as long as his bear got what it wanted, literally right after he discovers the mate bond, in front of her. I just couldn’t. I felt so sorry for her. Normally, yeah okay, that dynamic… hot. But after all the other books and the intensity of the mate bond. It felt like such a violation of everything every other book represented. If it had come as more of a slow burn and not right after he find out.. maybe better but that was like… OMG, my mate, *dump off lap* look at that shiny thing over there.

I don’t know. I just couldn’t after that. I wanted to move on to the next book and just be cool with. Okay. They’re mates. She’s weak. And always sorry. And always sulky…. And he’s messy NEXT!

3 way trist

I found this book to be impressive, with so many characters doing similar things. There is room for another book to continue with the mother of Noel or what the baby will be.

Great story..... but!

This was a great story and I truly loved it. Narrators did an awesome justice. The only problem I seen with this is out of the 3 main characters, Why the name Matt and the other named Max? Author could have come up with something totally different with the two males. Seems like the author was struggling with naming the characters. Why, Sharon - We could have just called her, Karen. I mean Rayden was a great unique name! Hopefully next book will offer up something a bit more unusual.

Feeling left without

I enjoy erotica, but too much becomes straight porn. I felt like this was exactly that. I think menage a trioses are hot but this was seemed to be all that was happening.

Complicated

Fun read with twists and turns. A romp through emotions and desires, a number of complicated maneuvers to arrive at a balance of love and respect and a fated destiny for all
