I love CC's characters, even if they have asshole traits, they manage to make you love them ...Whilst there is a certain formula to CC's stories (love story with a happy ending), what's wrong with that - we all need a bit of happy in our lives, so for me it's a five star read. I adored this book.

A story of love of life, love of fellow man and love of family - with all they bring - the easy and hard, the laughter and the tears, Strange Bedfellows is about opening yourself to the possibilities life throws at you and latching onto the opportunities that land at your feet.

I don't read a lot of shifter books. Because reasons. But now, now that I've read this first book in the Mates series, I'm about halfway to being convinced that I've been missing out. Holy hot boysecks, Batman.... The part how they were drawn together, so perfect for each other, from the very beginning recognizing their true mate bond ...I loved the easy banter, the deeply formed relationship....Fully developed characters give this book the extra oomph. Witty dialogue, snarky snark and humorous banter had me laughing out loud on many occasions, and only CC can manage to make me giggle and go 'awwwww' at the same time....Let's not forget, this is a shifter book. A book about shifter mating, and holy cow, that first time for these two - it nearly melted my Nook. I felt like I was intruding on something sacred when Zev and Jonah make love for the first time....this was a wonderful story to convince me of the merits of shifter stories.

If you are looking for a shifter book with love laughter and acceptance then look no further than Blue Mountain.

Loved, Loved, Loved this book! It was the perfect Valentine's week read and hit all my squishy feelings.
