The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate

This book absolutely hits the feels. It delivered everything I often find missing in fated mates stories, and then some.

What I Loved:

- Green flag energy: The Hero is sweet, kind and considerate. He shows zero toxic masculinity, or “alpha-hole,” traits.

- No sketchy consent issues. Yes, there's a heat element but the hero never intends harm or is blasé about the heroine's distress. For me, that distinction matters.

- The bonding! We actually see the H and h spend time together. The author takes the time to show their quirky interactions.

- Their wolf sides have a real presence and interact with other characters. I'm an absolute sucker for scenes where one mate is in shifter form and the other isn't (most probably the pet-lover in me).

- Great writing.

What Might Annoy Readers:

- The heroine struggles with PTSD, and her inner turmoil, especially at the start of the book, is quite extensive. I might have skipped a page or two, but by the second part I found it worth sticking through.

- Smut-light. Compared to other shifter romances, the steam is pretty tame and scenes are brief. But honestly? I didn't miss it. There are plenty of other books out there for a spice fix.

I would highly recommend this book.
