Now, this is not your usual sexy alpha man with the hunky-dory body where his head disappears from the breadth of his wide shoulders, pecs bursting out of his tees or arms ripping his sleeves. No. Think the other way around. Think, normal man meets a cuter than normal man and they fall in love. Simple. Madly romantic.

No major fall outs, misunderstandings, or life changing decisions, written in a way only CC knows how, and has mastered in a way others should take note. Its not necessary for the characters to fall out and mess up, sometimes, just getting from A to B is story enough, IF IF IF its told well. Told from both men's point of view, we get an insight into them both, which I really LOVE, mostly, because I like to know whats going on, from everyone. 

This is the first book in the Mates series and is a fun one I like to re-read. Zev is the son of a pack alpha and is supposed to mate with a female wolf. Only, he's finding himself more and more attracted to his best human friend, Jonah. And there's no such thing as a gay shifter. This is a bit different from my usual fare because there wasn't a clear villain or straight plot line. It was more like a peak inside the lives of these two men, which is perfect if that's what you're looking for. I love the two heroes, and I loved reading as they fought (or tugged) on their chemistry and created a bond.

This book was so much fun. … I love that even though there is great sex between them, that there is also so very much more. Robert needs to take care of Vy and Vy needs to submit to Robert. There is so much going on with the two of them… This book was such a great read. I enjoyed the entire story. I love that these two authors brought the very best of talents together and created such great characters and a wonderful story. I was never thrown out of the story with editing problems or things that didn't make sense. Instead, I was lost into the world of Vy and Robert. I wanted them to get their HEA. I wanted Robert to feel that Vy wanted all of him and to know that he was truly loved. I loved that Vy learned that to be a good man and to be a good leader, he needed to be balanced and Robert gave that to him. He learned that he could be strong and yet, he could be generous and kind as well. Read. This. Book. You won't be disappointed. It's worth taking the time and enjoying falling in love with Vy and Robert. Their love affair was so beautiful. They had their issues to work out, but the way that they banded together to get through, was just beautiful to see. Take the time to sink into a great book and be whisked away into another world.

Watching these two men come together and work to find a way to trust and love was incredibly beautiful and completely fed my romantic soul. Beautiful, romantic and wonderfully written! This author excels at writing compelling characters that you want to know in real life.
