Shattered Soulmates: Stone Mountain Shifters
Beta Miles Reid and Marissa Hunt have endured a stormy relationship for over a decade. Marissa, known for her dramatic and restless nature, frequently leaves Miles for months at a time, only to return when she wants. Her unreliability destabilizes their relationship, leaving Miles hurt, confused and insecure.
Recently, 22-year-old schoolteacher Paisley Woods joins the pack, and Miles discovers she is his fated mate. Given Miles's past relationship trauma, Paisley agrees to wait a year before their bonding ceremony. However, Marissa returns the evening before the ceremony, believing Miles's hesitation means he still belongs to her.
Marissa's presence reignites old feelings between them. Miles finds himself slipping back into familiar patterns with her and cheats on Paisley. Conflicted by his affections for both females, Miles must face the repercussions of past mistakes and the reality of whether he can hold on to a love that was never truly his, or save the one that may never be again.
As everyone grapples with the fallout, Marissa continues to create chaos while Paisley delves into the heartbreak of broken trust as she seeks a path forward.

This was so spectacularly bad. Like a train wreck I couldn’t look away from. The writing style is a bunch of telling. While the author is creative, there needs to be better execution than a bunch of info-dumping.
The characters were not at all likable. Then the ending came out of nowhere. There was no angst, no character development, and no meaningful growth. It was all just bad.

Summary: This is a paranormal romance.
Additional tropes:
✅ Other woman drama
✅ Cheating
Detailed spoilers/trigger warnings (if any) and final thoughts can be found below.
The FMC is Paisley. She arrives to a shifter pack to begin a new job. She is greeted by Miles, our MMC and they both immediately recognize each other as their mate. A year passes and it’s the night before their bonding ceremony. They plan to spend that night apart, each going their separate way to have a party with their friends. At the party, the MMC‘s ex shows up. They were together for a really long time, and she has a history of just leaving on a whim and coming back, and he automatically forgives her so this has been a cycle that they have been in over the years.
Naturally, he is weary when she shows up and doesn’t intend to do anything with her. But unfortunately, he ends up giving into her advances. His cheating has devastating physical, mental, and emotional consequences to the FMC. The scene shifts to her party, where she begins to experience physical symptoms that escalate, to the point where she becomes critical and has to be helicoptered out to a hospital. She barely recovers but when she does, she formally rejects Miles as her mate because of the cheating. The other woman is banned from the pack due to her role in messing with a mate bond but even though she is technically gone, she still continues to cause a lot of problems for the FMC. Thankfully her scheming is addressed while the FMC finds out she has been given a chance at a second bonded mate.
⚠️SPOILERS/SPICE/DETAILED TRIGGERS⚠️
*The cheating is on page and descriptive.
Final thoughts: This is the first paranormal romance that I have read where the idea of cheating is so thoroughly researched, investigated, and discussed. That was a very interesting aspect to the story. Like literally the entire plot of this story is cheating and its implications, and there are several characters in this story who are directly affected by that as well as those who are indirectly affected.
I think this author has promise as a writer. The book needs an editor. There were some areas of repetition by the same character versus the note at the beginning of the book from the author where she acknowledges that there will be repetition happening from different perspectives. Which did happen as well, and that was fine. There were a couple of points of confusion regarding some of the character names. But overall, this had a decent amount of angst and I liked how cheating was represented and discussed in the book.

Marissa’s filth in heels…
No truer words have been said. Marissa is evil to the bone, a narcissistic sociopath who cares for no one but herself. We first heard her name in the second book, if I remember correctly, because she was named as one of the escapees from that prison break. She was also accused of mate bond tampering but in this book, her charges are dropped.
We eventually find out she’s been using some tea with magic assistance in order to entice and ensnare men. Once the tea finally wears off, she’s not really attractive to those men anymore…
While I loved the first two books, this book was slightly different in that the terrible journey Paisley, our FMC, must endure doesn’t have her getting a true mate until almost the end of the book. The MMC is Miles, but he basically rejects his fated and chooses Marissa, the night before their mating ceremony. And since they have spent a year together, his cheating almost kills her.
I’m kind of wandering around but I really loved this one. This author has written about a world I find fascinating. I can’t wait for the next book.

Gripping
Another enjoyable, gripping and emotionally charged story from author Melanie Jaynes. I hope she keeps writing more in this world.

July 5, 2025The author needs a good editor to help her with quotation marks. They were missing in many areas and sometimes unclear when one character stopped speaker and another started.
spoiler.....
I'm not a fan of the ending. Got weird. I'm sure Dragon and his sister are great, but they could use their own book and not cross with wolf shifters romantically.

This was one of those werewolf/fated mates stories — not my usual genre. I’m not typically a fan of fantasy or shifter tropes, but I picked this one up because I do enjoy books with themes of betrayal and cheating, and this book definitely had that.
The story follows Miles and Paisley, who have been together for about a year. They’re fated mates — bonded on a soul-deep level — which means that emotional and physical pain is shared between them. Things take a dark turn when, on the night of his bachelor party, Miles cheats on Paisley with his ex, Miranda. Because of their bond, Paisley literally feels everything Miles does with Miranda, and it physically hurts her — to the point of leaving wounds.
As the story progresses, Miles chooses Miranda, leaving Paisley heartbroken. There’s some added drama involving Miranda, who turns out to be manipulative and toxic. In the end, justice is served: Miranda is exiled to some kind of prison island, Miles ends up alone, and Paisley moves on and finds someone new.
To be honest, I didn’t enjoy the book overall. I read it purely for the angst and the cheating drama, which were definitely intense, but the fantasy/werewolf elements just aren’t for me. If you enjoy the fated mates trope and don’t mind a morally messy storyline, you might like this more than I did. But for me, it was a one-time read.

I was so excited for this
I was so excited for this book!! I like how the story is woven and interconnected and I don’t mind the repeat scenes… but the length at the repeat scenes, we’re always mentioning the Alpha summit… we didn’t get any closure with the main people!!!
This series always has the original couple ending up with someone else, but at least in the other books- we got to see them as couples. This was just thrown together at the end. Why.
Overall the first 60-80% was good, the ending was rushed and there was no closure.

I really enjoyed this book! It captured my interest from the first page and I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for books 4,5,6!

Cheating Mate Syndrome CMS continues and this one was as good as the others. It can be read as a standalone, but you would benefit more by reading the others first.
Miles, our Hero turned Zero.
Marissa, our nasty skank on off-again GF of Miles.
Paisley, our too kind, but no doormat fated mate to Miles
There are additional characters introduced and to mention them would spoil the fun.😉
I look forward to more books by this author.

August 17, 2025
H is a cartoon idiot. OW is a cartoon villain. Everyone knows she is, but the pack allows her to do her dastardly deeds. No one does anything about it.
Miles (33), the Beta of the pack, has been in a relationship with Marissa (28) for 10 years. He thinks it's a relationship. She actually keeps a rotation of lovers, and she and Miles are on-off while she also sees other guys, but he doesn't know that. He does know Marissa is not his mate. At some point, he just assumed he would never meet a true mate.
One day, when Miles and Marissa are "off" again, and Marissa is not even living on pack lands, a Paisley arrives as a new pack member. Paisley is Miles' mate. He says he wants to embrace the bond fully, but the reality is, he still pines for Marissa and thinks about her every day. He convinces Paisley to wait a year to complete the bond with the bonding ceremony, which she agrees to. Everything seems fine for the next year, as long as Marissa isn't around.
Then one of Miles' guy friends invites Marissa to the Batchelor Party as a surprise for Miles. Miles very quickly decides to have sex with Marissa in her hotel room. He convinces himself that it makes sense to be in love with both women, because he loves both their personalities. Paisley is kind, gentle, and needs to be protected. Marissa is passionate and more of an alpha female.
While Miles and Marissa are having sex, Paisley suffers Cheating Mate Syndrome, physical injury from the cheating. This was the first real problem with this story. Most wolves don't know CMS exists. It seems like the first or second time anyone died, when their mate just happens to be cheating, everyone would have figured out CMS exists. But no wolf in the history of wolves ever figured it out till now. It just so happens that there's a doctor who has figured it out through scientific research, and has developed a medication for it. So they take Paisley to that doctor to be saved.
Paisley comes back physically healed, already aware that Miles cheated, and she rejects their bond. He wanted to wait and see how things went with Marissa before HE made the choice to reject the bond or not. After Paisley makes the choice for him, he tells Marissa that he wants to be with her, but Marissa has to commit to a relationship, and commit to being chosen mates with a bond. She agrees. I think she likes being a high ranking Beta female.
The Alpha warns them both to stay away from Paisley. Marissa doesn't stay away. She starts a bullying campaign against Paisley. Another unbelievable thing about the story, Paisley never tells the Alpha what's going on. She says it's because there's no point, because she told Miles and Miles didn't believe her. But what does that have to do with the Alpha?
Marissa tells the pack doctor that she caught Miles and Paisley together and now she's suffering from CMS (just to fuck with them, I guess). The doctor doesn't believe her because Miles and Paisley have an alibi for the day they were "caught." On her way out, Marissa happens to see Paisley's medication for CMS. Of course she does. She steals it so she can put it in Miles' drink, so she can cheat on him without him knowing. But he suffers the symptoms that night anyway. He refuses to believe it's CMS, until the Alpha confronts him. The Alpha already knows Marissa is in a hotel room cheating with a mated male (Seth), who's female mate (Hannah) is also in the hospital being treated for CMS right now.
Hannah goes on the lam to avoid punishment for stealing the meds. She hooks up with a biker gang she meets in a diner. (Of course she does.)
Miles decides he wants Paisley back. He goes back to stalking her cabin, even though the Alpha ordered him to leave her alone. It's weird, no one has to actually leave her alone, no matter what the Alpha says. There's no enforcement and no follow through.
She had previously met a new pack member named Knight, who seems like her second chance mate. But with all the stress of the CMS, she didn't realize it. But he did. Will there be a competition between Knight and Miles to try and win Paisley's heart? Does Miles stand a chance? I sure hope not. He's a twat waffle.
This book is full of so much high school drama disguised as adult problems. Too many different POVs. DNF.

Kinda liked it, kinda didn’t
I can’t give this book an overall "meh" but I also can’t give it a fist pump either. So I’m going with 2.5 stars. I think this book has the same problem a lot of these "indie" authors have . . . Good plot, poor execution. So let’s break this down:
The good
The plot. A seemingly strong beta, Miles, is firmly wrapped around the finger of a beautiful, selfish, sociopath. She leads him on then dumps him to find her pleasures elsewhere. Over and over again. He even knows this, but he can’t help himself. Every time she crooks her finger at him, he comes running. So that’s already a departure from other shifter romance books I have read.
He finds his fated mate, who is a sweet, innocent school teacher. They get together quickly, both of them falling into the bond. He did ask for a year before their bonding ceremony so he could be absolutely sure. (That right there would have turned me off, but I’m not a shifter under the influence of a mate bond). And you could see what’s coming from a mile away . . . The night before their bonding ceremony, at his bachelor party, "Marissa" comes back, crooks her lil finger and he falls for it once again. The problem is that this time he’s got a mate so the ramifications of this back and forth situation don’t just affect him. He’s got a mate with a partial bond completed who is now in danger of losing her life due to "rejected mate syndrome."
The bad
Same issue with all the books in this series. While it’s nice to have stories told from multiple POVs, it’s so tiresome to read the same exact scene multiple times just from a different POV. Most authors would write the scene from one POV, and another POV would take the scene from there. We can still get into their heads to see how they were affected without having to actually read the same scene all over again. The book is not very long, but it could be cut down by at least a third if not for these repeated scenes.
There were also some issues with grammar and clarity. Sometimes I had to go back and reread sections because I was confused who was talking.
The ugly
If I have put in the time to read a story, I’d like the author to put in the time to wrap things up nicely (obviously, unless it’s a purposeful cliffhanger). Not just decide they’re done and POOF everything’s resolved. That’s what happened here. While the plot dragged on, the ending was too rushed.
Having said all this, would I recommend this book? This series? Yes, but with a lot of caveats. If you don’t want a lot of redundant reading, this isn’t the series for you. If you don’t like OW action, this isn’t the book for you (The author did write a juicy bad girl in Marissa though). If you like the idea of mate bonds tampered with through magic and concoctions, this may be your jam. It did make me feel sorry for some of the characters as their actions weren’t 100% their own. But their rejected mates still suffered all the same, so I did have some points were I got a lil misty-eyed. The books are relatively short, so they are a quick read.

The story is really good. You feel Paisley's pain and suffering but her strength and character shine through. The OW does so much wrong as she continues to hurt our h through lies, manipulations and plots that endanger her life. I want to slap her and that mean girl support group she has. Marissa is truly a sociopath with no feelings for anyone but her self as evidenced by her ruthless hurting of so many people. It was great seeing other pack mates calling her out and not believing her lies, it made me feel better reading that.
Miles is TSTL and selfish to the core wanting his cake and to eat it to. I loved how he wanted to get back with Paisley at one point, but, again, another selfish act. There is lots of action in the story and we get to meet a whole other set of shifters in an MC whose story I would love to read. Linnsey and Q’s book would be an auto buy for me since she is such a fascinating, dangerous and strong character who others fear, a heroine I would love to read.
The author does a great job at storytelling, she had me fearing to read the next chapter once because of where she made think it would go. Then she also surprised me with love connections and who ended up with who.
Even though Paisley went though hell I feel happier after reading this story than A Luna's Revenge, a good book, which left me feeling sad even though she got a HEA.

I am going to give this a 3.. because the cheaters get their comeuppance, not because the writing is spectacular (it's spectacularly bad, I don't think this author has heard of quotations marks) but honestly I've read worse, have you read any MK Eidem books?? than you know what I mean.. I normally avoid ow/cheating tropes but I'm on a shifter kick and this popped up in my KU and it was a quick read and in the end I really wanted to see what happened. The book has povs from multiple characters, there is an interesting premise, the main characters were interesting, there are wolf shifters and dragon shifters, there's an mc gang, there's ow drama galor, there's mean girl stuff, for such a small book there was a lot and maybe because it was told in so many povs that is why I kept reading. I wanted to see the mmc suffer and he did, I almost felt bad for him, the fmc gets her hea, I just wish it was drawn out a bit more and the main ow, she gets her comuppance big time!! so all in all not bad for tropes I generally stay away from, i just might check out others by this author.

Read in Inkitt
Cheating = h's fated mate (not the true H who does not show up until near end of the book) cheats on her with OW then rejects the h for OW
h sees "H" with OW = h has to see her fated mate with OW
Rejected mate = h is rejected by her fated mate...turns out she has another and ends up with HEA with her true H

If you're going to go clinical this story is the way to do it. Wrapped in the CMS plot, cheating mate syndrome, that the heroine endured and the pack begins to pay attention to, you have romance, relationships and awesome side characters. I like the way this was written. It was angsty, intriguing, satisfying at the end. The unraveling of the sinister OW and what became of her was fulfilling. The "hero", the one that betrayed the heroine brought his own karma. The heroine had an awesome ending!!!

The world building was interesting but the writing was so messy. There was no real connection between characters because the story was focused on cheating, angst and drama rather than chemistry between main characters.

I enjoyed the book. It was an easy read.
Plenty of drama and a real love hate relationship with the characters.
I like how previous characters from the others books make appearances and the over lapping of events.
I was surprised by the ending .
I look forward to reading more by this author.

Read this in Wattpad and didn’t like it. The writing was not great and the characters were comical. I had a hard time taking anyone serious.

I think this one might be my favourite in this series. Or a close second. So good ! Lots of twists and surprises. Loved it.
