Fate Is a Series of Choices We Make
[Siren Classic Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, werewolves, HEA] After learning that his brother is a vampire/angel hybrid, Kieran O'Callaghan has some trouble adjusting to the new and strange world he's being dragged in to. If it weren't for Joey, the werewolf who has seemingly taken it upon himself to be Kieran's friend and guide, Kieran wouldn't know how to handle it all. Joey Taylor was born and raised in Australia by a deeply religious, and prejudiced, pack of werewolves. Some people might think him a little unusual, but Joey is nothing if not loyal. When he meets Kieran, he instantly knows that the man is his fated mate. It should be the best day of his life, only Kieran is completely straight and just out of a long-term relationship. With Joey resigned to the fact that he can only ever be Kieran's friend, and Kieran determined to fight fate every step of the way, can they find their way to each other before it's too late. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

3 - 3 1/2 Hearts
Review written for MM Good Book Reviews
This book is part of a series and must be read in order. In the aftermath of the kidnapping in The Holy Trinity Joey is left keeping Sam's mum company and trying to explain things to her, he is surprised when his mate walks through the door and he is human, and straight. Kieran is finding it hard to believe everything that has been revealed to him but with Joey guiding the way he begins to get a handle on it, that is until he begins to have feelings for Joey. Struggling with his torn feelings for two people, his ex-girlfriend and Joey, Kieran doesn't know which way to turn and he resents that the choice might be taken out of his hands. Joey can only stand by and hope that Kieran will stop fighting fate, but Joey is encouraged to open his heart to Kieran.
This story continues on from The Holy Trinity, Sam's brother Kieran in the staring role. This is a great continuation of The Wolves of Greenwich as Kieran gets pulled into his brothers new found world, there is lots of soul searching for Kieran as he falls for Joey, a fact that has him confused and then angry as he thinks his choice has been taken from him. Joey is perfect as the patient wolf, biding his time until his mate learns to accept him. Things get passionate between them but Kieran has more that just a mating to think about when Joey gets carried away, and angst follows as Kieran has to decide what he wants.
I enjoyed this story and liked getting a glimpse of Sam, Jackson and Alek. Kieran is really torn over what he thought he would always have and what fate says he should have, finding himself attracted to a man really does shake him up especially as he isn't sure that he still doesn't want the ex. Joey is really patient and has a hard time coping while Kieran decides what he wants, and I liked it when he took matters into his own hands. While Kieran and Joey work out their relationship we see Sam still trying to find the man who took him to Rita's when he was a boy, and we see poor Luka who isn't coping.
I recommend this to those who love shifters, friends to lovers and mates, struggling with choices of the heart, hot sex and a great ending.

3.7 stars
Off the hoof.. I liked it.
What I felt was off... the sex scenes were 50/50 for me. The connection didn't feel...the descriptiveness was good here but then felt lacking there, type of thing.
Plus, for never before thought about gay, Kieran jumps in both feet little reservation shown with little to none persuasion. Yes, they are mates. But Kieran is fighting this wanting to know that it's HIS choice. So being more hesitant would have been natural. Then there's the ex girlfriend. I expected more drama from that end. She's mentioned in passing a few times and Sam even said he liked her.. but then we get a bitchy feel of her (well I did anyways) through Kieran's eyes of their encounters.
So good edition to the series for me but I did have issues with the above. And nice set up HANGER ON for the next book.

I was totally excited by book one from this new and fabulous author into the world of wolves and vampires. Jane captures danger and romance, and hot sexy action so well, I truly believe she must be a gorgeous gay man trapped in a gorgeous woman's body!
And the sweet Beta character of Joey is an Aussie! Hooray, finally some wolves from Down Under!
I'm looking forward to more in this series from Jane and the wolves of Gardwich!

Volviendo donde lo dejamos, nos encontramos con Joey intentando calmar a la madre adoptiva de Sam después del secuestro acontecido.
En ese momento llega Kieran (hermano adoptivo de Sam y la pareja destinada de Joey), con el que se hace amigo y mucho más.
Realmente es un libro muy fluff, donde existen recaídas en cuanto a los personajes, pero nada que no se solucione con un poco de amor.
No tengo mucho que decir, un libro corto, rápido de leer, muy cute y con un Joey que ciertamente no puedo ver como un adulto de más de cuarenta, sino como a un adorable chico de veintitantos que gusta de las travesuras y le mueve la cola a cualquier extraño para que sea su amigo.
Personalmente, espero que en los próximos libroa nos encontremos con el hermano de Joey, creo que sería muy lindo que, a pesar del infierno que pasó, pueda encontrarse con él.
Pdt: ¿Por qué se hace mención del machismo si después no buscan modificarlo? Simplemente está ahí, como una denuncia que no se acaba de enviar.

Comencé a leer el libro porque Kieran me intrigaba, ¿Cómo si él era heterosexual? Pero bueno, la historia no pudo ir mejor. Joey me divertía y a la vez despertaba curiosidad en mí, ¿Quién en su sano juicio va a hablar de pulpos cuando conoce a su pareja? Pero venga, es Joey, y tanto Kieran como yo lo amamos.
Cada momento en su relación fue hermoso de leer, incluso las peleas, ¡Amé que la pareja de un lobo se podía convertir en uno luego de ser mordido! Eso es hermoso.
En resumen; el libro le encantó. Comencé a leerlo en la madrugada y no me dormí hasta tarde por avanzar, por la tarde no descansé hasta terminar de leerlo, sin duda es un libro hermoso y uno de mis favoritos.
Le tengo en la mira, leeré más sobre usted.
¡Gracias por el libro!

4,5 Sterne
Beta-Werwolf Joey verliebt sich in den Bruder des Alpha-Gefährten. Das wäre an und für sich kein Problem, leider ist Kieran ein Mensch und hat zudem eine On-Off-Beziehung mit einer Frau.
Dieser Teil geht ans Herz. Joey ist so ein liebenswerter Kerl. Er hat so vieles durchgemacht und so lange auf seinen Gefährten gewartet und dann ist der nicht nur hetero, sondern auch der Meinung, dass ihm durch das Gefährtenband sein freier Wille genommen wurde.

Wenn ich mich entschieden habe, ob ich die Reihe jetz mag oder nicht sag ich bescheid ^^ Es gibt Momente die wirklich lieb sind, und dann wieder Teile die mich einfach nur nerven.

Continuing supernatural mmm menage escapist smut
This second entry in an erotic Siren male/male series wasn't as quite as enjoyable for me as the first, but it still fits nicely into this publisher's stable of simple, all-male shifter escapist reads.
