When I read To Touch You, I didn’t realise it was part of an established series, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a stand-alone novel despite being the fourth book in the Mates Collection.
To Touch You is the fourth book in the series and although it runs partly parallel with the third book (In Your Eyes), it can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone. If you are a fan of this series you will not be disappointed as all three couples from the previous books are present and have great scenes together. If you are new, like me, you will have fun getting to know everyone and learning about life in CC’s shifter/vampire universe.
There are so many words that I would like to utter but they mainly consist of Ohhhh Ahhhh sweet and cute, and *sigh* soooo romantic. We are given a true treat with this wonderful holiday story that shows the despair of a young man who feels he doesn't have anything to cling to. It then takes us on a journey to a possible future that he would miss out on and then we are treated to a sweet ending when the course of the future is changed with Shiloh's knowledge and his actions. The love that is discovered first in the future and then in the present is incredibly sweet but also passionate, a meeting of soul mates who are meant to be whether in the future or in the present..... Ah, there are so many wonderful and bittersweet moments in this story .... I recommend this to those who love stories of a love that was meant to be, incredible characters, a story that draws out your emotions with ease and a story that brings family together.
I adored Daniel and loved seeing Asher's tender side with him. I liked the way we see each man slowly figure out what he wants out of life and a relationship, and then figure out how to build that together. They are super sexy together and I found much of the dominance and control aspects of their sex lives super hot. I think the author does a nice job of showing us why these two somewhat unconventional guys just totally work together, and how they just fit one another.
De nuevo en casa es, en verdad, una historia de amor maravillosa con la que disfruté de principio a fin. Una historia que no tardaré en volver a leer. Una historia, en definitiva, que me lleva a devorar los siguientes libros de la Serie y a hacerme una fiel seguidora de esta autora.
