I found the book to be exceptionally written, with plenty of character development, especially for Salvatore. I loved how their story was spread out over so many years, and loved seeing them both change. A fantastic addition to the Mates series, and highly recommended by me.

A sweet, sexy, and fun unique take on paranormal romance.

Ahhhhh, bliss! This was the perfect story for my mood. I wanted something light with just a touch of angst, a lot of sweetness and on the shorter side. ...The characters are sad in the beginning, heart-breaking even, with Abel miserable and dwelling on the fact that he doesn't have his mate and never will. When you meet Kai, he's so broken that he can't even shift out of his wolf form. He heals quickly, though, once he's by Abel's side and flourishes into the alpha that he is supposed to be. ... I adored the characters, and while Kai's recovery may be a bit fast for some, I won't deny that I enjoyed his quick turnaround. I loved the concept of two alphas bonded together and before they're born too!

I love both Spencer and Emilio and even Emilio's brothers. All the characters are engaging and fun and I really lapped up this story. It was sweet and spicy all rolled up into a book I couldn't put down until I was done. Absolutely fabulous!

What I liked most about this story is that in addition to the struggles of Jason and Abe trying a new relationship and facing Jason-centered hurdles, there are also real-life problems that have to be faced. What do you do about the kids? What do you do when your son is heading down the wrong path? And I loved that Angela, Jason's ex-wife and mother of his children, is a strong, loyal female character.
