Seet with a lovely ending and if you need a smile to brighten your day, this story will definitely do it.

Pack dynamics and interesting shifters made this an enjoyable romance with some great action sequences. …Robert isn't interested in shifting, and, therefore, doesn't recognize Vy as his mate. Vy struggled with wanting to be with Robert while at the same time feeling very frustrated that Robert wouldn't recognize him as his true mate. Instead, Robert is just interested in Vy as a person. This leads to the biggest conflict between these two mates, and gives the story an interesting twist on the instant love we usually see with mates. … I enjoyed the focus on the different issues with the pack members, and the trouble that they were having with another pack.

From hookup to commitment, what started out as two men, attracted to each other on a very casual level, slowly became much more. ...I really enjoyed the family element here – the emotion and the evolution of Jason and Abe together, as well as that with the kids, and even Angela as a unit. Their interactions and love for one another... created much-needed emotional connection and depth for me. Jason's struggles and regrets as a workaholic father felt real and sad, but simultaneously set Jason and Abe on that more permanent path. And sweet Abe, he's just that character that you can't help but love, for his personality, commitment and for what he wants out of life and love.... a feel good story of two opposites creating something beautiful together. Well done.

I loved the humor with which Ethan tells his story and the change in mood from totally flippant and somewhat annoyed with life to thoughtful, appreciative and loving at the end. ... Deep feelings and good characterizations are not easy to develop in such a short story, but the author manages it really well. Ethan pulled me in from the very start; while it was the initial humor that made me smile, it was his cluelessness that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he'd get it. And at the end, when he finally admitted how he felt, the depth of his emotions was very rewarding. If you like short, sweet stories with a (temporal) twist, you will probably like this one.

While In Your Eyes is part of the Mates series, it can most certainly be read as a standalone. It is a lovely contemporary shifter read with engaging, fully realised MCs, and well developed secondary characters. I fell for Samuel and Korban and I had some really strong reactions to events in the book as well. It tugged at my heartstrings and it made me smile. The well named In Your Eyes delivers a well paced, gay shifter romance with much love and a HEA.
