Interesting storyline. This book is basically 2 couples' stories. Could have been made into 2 books. The 1st couple are fated Mates, but she has no idea that wolves & magic exist even though she belongs in their world. I thought it was interesting getting a look into Lyssa's life and what she had to do to survive on her own for so long. And also that she was clever & smart enough to continue her education.

There was not much of a segway between the 1st & 2nd couple's stories. But I did enjoy the look into the situation from another point of view. I loved the strength and independence that Emmaline showed and how she could hold her own in a fight.

Holy smokes, what a great book. From beginning to end, there was drama, deceit, hidden agendas, sexy sessions, and twists to the plot. But even amid all the strife, Rhea has found her family and made friends who are loyal and trustworthy.

I feel so much for Khaos and his internal struggles with his relationship with Rhea and not giving his mother a chance to hurt Rhea. I am swooning so hard for Zen and his calm persona publicly and his Dom-like qualities in the bedroom. And that hospital/medward scene...🔥🔥🔥.

I wasn't sure about the recapping, but I really enjoyed those scenes through their POV. I also really loved that the missing pieces were filled in. That we got to see what happened while Zon & Portia were trapped in Hell and how Zon came to be at the beach to help save the wolf twins. Now the whole grandpa thing was a bit odd, but the fact that they are one step closer to finishing the war & having Match explain what happened to the 1st set of twins was a great summary of events.

Great story. I am glad that Dax found his mate! He was funny in previous stories but also a fierce & loyal friend. Trying to find his place in the new dragon dynamic, he wanted to prove himself a leader, and he certainly did.

Jules is such a quiet, timid woman who doesn't think she is special but longs for her happily ever after. I felt a deep connection with Jules for several reasons. I love that she was not afraid to fight even when she thought she had no skills. But after her powers awaken, she is truly a badass worthy of a red dragon.

Great book about love & knowing you are worthy of it. The dedication really sucked into Jett & Ivaine's story. Jett has been so mistreated & misunderstood that believing he had a soul mate with what he thought was no soul took all the innocent magic Ivaine had.

I especially love Ivaine's sense of humor and the fact she can't verbally cuss. She was completely innocent but also fearless. She knew what she wanted and fought for it, inside & outside the bedroom.

Great short story to unite the Dragons & bring the next generation into the picture. I loved how it was the gathering of all the Wyr and others that helped the babies finally arrive. 

Interesting how the black dragon & black witch split ways and also how strong the witch really is. Love the connection Fallyn, Azy & the baby have. Can't wait to see Fallyn & Match's story unfold.

I just love Azy's fighting spirit. She is a fierce & loyal mermaid to stay behind for Fallyn. The fact that even though they haven't met & she is so protective of Cage just demands her loyalty. 

I do love that Azy turned the tables on Cage and took charge of what she wanted, but I am glad that Cage woke up to what he was doing wrong. I love how all the shifters are coming together to help defeat the Black Dragon.

I really enjoy how each book reveals another layer into the overall story and that all the past dragons & mates are featured as a part of the next mated couples story. I absolutely loved that Ky performed the Haka during the story and that his fellow blues did at the end.

I felt a connection with Jada from the beginning with trying to suppress her darker part of her soul. I think we all struggle with similar insecurities when faced with if we are worthy or not. Also, the need for sugar as a source I'd comfort really struck home for me.

Love that the wolf shifters were made a part of this story. I love the fact that the pendant went to Fleur after Ciara. I really liked how we are slowly learning the master plan and that the first dragon & White witch are the driving force.

Steele and Dax were funny together, and from the very beginning, I was cracking up at all the she wolf antics.

Great resolution to Wyatt & his mate. I am so happy that Dom & Caleb were part of his pack. They had a lot of issues to work through, but they made it there in the end.

I was surprised but who the 4th mate was but loved that little twist. It was an interesting concept about Lyra's health needing the bonding to be complete. But I did love that extra connection. 

There is so much unrest in the realms between the Mage Library, the Angels & the betrayal of the Fae. Not to mention the whole Asgard drama. I love that this was connected to the other books and that their stories are still intertwined. Still love me some Frannie and will til the end.

What a great story. I loved how Asgard and the different realms were portrayed. Aria is a badass bitch who is also kind hearted and strong. I loved how she was able to rally the different realms and shifters.

I am glad that Aria's story is done, but more are coming. I really loved Frannie. There are still enough unresolved issues that lends itself well to continuing this world that CJ has created.

Wow, this series just exploded. I love the multiple povs. Also, I love the animosity with the Prime Alpha and how Kyle is stepping into a leader role. 

The relationships with her mates & other pack members is so endearing. Aria just brings out the good & bad in people. Those who are good just flock to her. 

This is a great book with brilliant imagery & detail. The mystery & suspense just keep amping up the drama.

Great story. This had me from the 1st chapter with the burglary & helping women of domestic violence. Throw in the mandatory magic regulation & I was hooked.

Loved that Aria was discovering her talent for leading & training others. Her mates were smitten from the 1st moment they saw her. Her story is tragic, but I love that she was starting to trust people. Great cliffhanger and I can't wait for book 2.

Fantastic story. Love the build-up and how the guys tried to keep Leighton safe but in the dark. The idea that each of the bonds is a different species is great. Having an anchor to tie them and help their power is a fresh outlook.

What would high school be without the mean girls and the bullies. These just can kill you. I find the concept that the anchor doesn't have to be a mate is interesting. But as Ronan said, the gods wouldn't make them mates without a solution.

Both books were great. The first ends in kind of a cliffhanger, so be sure to have the second ready to go. Also, there is DV underlying throughout Natalie's story.

Great take on the shifter trope. It was interesting that the sleuth was not all formed at birth and that they formed as their gods wanted. It was also interesting that they found their mate without being near them. Hadn't read that take before.

I loved that all the sleuths were different bear species. It really did show their differences and how they could be everything for their mate. Loved Holly, Johnno, and Maisie. The relationship that Nat forms with the mil is what she desperately needed.

Enjoyable read. Interesting take on the shifter world. The idea that a Beta could turn to an Omega was new & interesting. Also that Alphas only mate with Omegas was new too. 

Being mated to 4 Alphas I knew this would be steamy, but it was super steamy with an in depth explanation & education into BDSM.
