Gavin

Rate this book
Alpha Daddies is a wolf shifter series that follows the lives of strong Alpha Protectors and the women they are fated to mate.

Molly is scared out of her mind. She’s always been introverted and shy. She would rather have her head in a book than anything else. Mean girls at school laugh behind her back because they’re jealous. Molly was born with the mark of the Alpha Protectors.

Gavin has been ready to claim his mate for years. His only concern? Will she have an unusual ability like other recent mates? When he meets her, he knows he’ll deal with whatever Fate throws at him because nothing in the world matters more than Molly.

Gavin is stunned by the odd things that happen to Molly as she prepares for her first shift. Why does she insist it’s too loud in their home, and why does she keep sliding completely under water and holding her breath? As Molly’s powers are revealed, Gavin will do anything to ensure her life is as comfortable as possible.

The books in this series include strong elements of age play. If this genre is offensive to you, this may not be the book or series for you.

Tremendous addition to the series, Molly and Gavin’s story is heartwarming and exciting reading
Molly has always known that a t the age of twenty she would meet her mate that was one of the Alpha Protectors that bore the exact same mark on his body as her that signified, they were born to be each other’s fated mate. She has always been a very quiet and shy girl that like nothing more than to curl up and lose herself in a book much to her mother’s exasperation, she has no cooking skills no matter how hard she has tried and has been worried about this meeting and mating.
However, the moment she first felt her mates hand rest on her head in the sacred hall where the sacred words were spoken and overseen by each of their parents she had felt an immediate rightness with her mate. She would learn that his name was Gavin and that when she awoke at his cabin among all of the other Alpha shifters, she was surprised to learn that her life with him would be very different to what she had been told and it made her feel treasured and loved and safe.
When they mated and she was undergoing the initial shift Gavin was shocked at the fact this process took only a matter of hours, her shift had also come about so quickly and it was as though Molly had known the precise moment even though she had no experience of this and could not have known.
Then suddenly as had happened with a few of the other mates that had recently found mates his brother Felix included it seemed that her change had been far from normal, she seems to have gained an extensive ability to hear every single sound for miles around and initially it is causing her pain ad distress and Gavin has to find a solution which he does with the assistance of his father and other Alpha protectors.
I am not going to spoil this reason for other readers so I will let you read this for yourself and be as surprised as I was, I guarantee that you will enjoy meeting up with some the characters from previous matings in previous books that have gone before.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Hearing what no one else can

Paige Michaels returns with the sixth installment in her "Alpha Daddies" series, Gavin, and delivers another engaging paranormal romance centered around fated mates within a wolf shifter world. This series focuses on strong Alpha Protectors, and in this book, we follow Gavin as he finally meets his destined mate, Molly.
Molly is an introverted and shy woman who prefers the company of books over social interaction. Despite facing ridicule from mean girls, she possesses a unique distinction: the mark of the Alpha Protectors.
Gavin, on the other hand, has patiently awaited his mate for years, with his only concern being whether she would possess an unusual ability, as has been the case with recent mates.
Their meeting confirms their destined connection, and Gavin is immediately captivated by Molly. However, their journey takes an intriguing turn as Molly begins to experience strange occurrences leading up to her first shift. She's overwhelmed by sounds and exhibits an unusual affinity for water. These quirks pique Gavin's curiosity and, more importantly, solidify his unwavering commitment to her comfort and well-being, no matter what challenges her emerging powers might bring.
While the provided information doesn't delve deeply into the plot's intricacies or the steam level, the premise of an introverted heroine with unusual abilities finding love and protection with a dedicated alpha male is a familiar and appealing trope within this genre. The hints of mystery surrounding Molly's powers add an extra layer of intrigue, promising a story that explores both the romance and the supernatural aspects of their lives.
Gavin is another wonderful addition to the "Alpha Daddies" series. Fans of paranormal romance with fated mates, protective alphas, and unique heroines will find themselves drawn into Gavin and Molly's story. If you've enjoyed the previous books in the series, Gavin is set to deliver another satisfying dose of shifter romance.

I absolutely LOVE this series 🖤🩷 Paige Michaels has really created a very intriguing and exciting world!! There’s mystery…..Hello Bear Shifters (IYKYK), Alpha Protectors mates exhibiting unexpected special abilities around the time of their first shift, and so much more!! Then there’s the love story between the Alpha Protector Hero and his fated mate heroine ♥️ Each Alpha Protector waits for his fated mate to become of age, and then there’s a ceremony, and she goes on to live with her Alpha Daddy. They’re not allowed to interact with each other before the ceremony, but the Alphas can’t resist watching their mates from afar. Their fated mates know their destinies, they just don’t know who, until they show up for their ceremony. I love how sweet and protective the Alphas are, they’d do ANYTHING to protect their mates, and irresistible Gavin is no different 🖤♥️ I love how each fated mate handles their destiny differently, and how each heroine has her own unique personality. In Molly’s case, she is terrified. She’s very timid and shy. I really enjoyed following Molly on her journey throughout the book. She starts out wanting to hide behind her books, and getting bullied by other jealous girls, because she was born with the matching mark of her fated mate. Which is unique and special. Then she starts having her very own special abilities and shifting. Molly starts feeling very empowered by that. However, Gavin knows danger still lurks and he will protect his fated mate at all costs!!
I recommend this book 🩵🦋💙

What a great read! Some days I wish we could have Alpha protectors, or a special mark that would connect us to the one made for us. I find my joy in reading about my wishes and dreams. Although, knowing you were meant for a specific person, and not being able to see them or have contact til a certain age, would be s0 stressful, as Molly was feeling in the ceremonial round room. As well as the giving of your submission, which seems to happen equally as fast as the ceremony. The women go into this eye wide open, or so they thought, they are shown and groomed in ways to please and take care of their mate, to find out that not everything that their mothers taught them is so. I love it when realization comes to life ... it's cute and you feel the Little/subbie's frustration or relief. And let's talk about Molly and her special gifts, I think she was showing differences and need way faster than any of the other newly mated pairs. I felt her pain with all the noise; I hear dog whistles when no one else can. And Gavin, does his best to calm Molly, and showing/explaining their new life together. As well as his confusion and concern over how Molly was reacting prior to and after they consumated they'll mating.

Overall fantastic character/word building. Love seeing the interactions with the other Alpha Protectors/mates, elders and let's not forget the bears. The Bear thing is keeping me on pins and needles. What will happen next?

Loving this series

Gavin is the newest addition to the Alpha Daddies series, and I’m absolutely loving where this series is going! This book focuses on Gavin and his mate, Molly. Gavin is thrilled to finally meet his fated partner, but Molly has some serious fears to work through. Still, Fate knows what it’s doing, because these two are clearly meant to be.

What I really enjoy about this series is the mix of sweet, supportive relationships and an overarching mystery that keeps building—especially around the bear shifters and how each new mating seems to awaken something more. Molly’s discovery of her powers after shifting adds another layer of tension and intrigue, and I loved seeing how the entire community rallies around her.

Paige Michaels has built a world that feels like home, filled with care, love, and connection. While each couple’s story stands on its own, I definitely recommend reading the series in order to fully enjoy the evolving mystery and character development. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved reading this book it pulled me in from the start until the very end, this book was sweet, the story was about Gavin and Molly, Gavin is an Alpha protector that lives on top of the mountain and oversees the villagers to keep them safe. Gavin is born with a mark (tattoo) and when their mate turns approximately twenty years old they are set to marry their mate, they both have the same markings and when they touch their libido drives them wildly excited, and stimulatingly passionate Alpha Daddy and his little mate. Molly's mum trained her to cook and clean. When Molly, was married she didn't expect her life to change as much as it did, her hearing was more than excellent and Gavin, a doting Daddy had a happily ever after.

I love how this series builds the intrigue with each book. I am a definite fan.

Although each story is a standalone, for increased enjoyment, read them all, you won't be disappointed.

Another piece of the ongoing mystery is added to this series as Molly manifests some unusual powers. I find it encouraging that it is the female shifters that have powers that will be necessary for the protection of the pack and valley.

Molly is destined to become someone very important as she breaks free of her shy and introverted persona. Her Daddy Gavin already feels she is the most important and special person in his world, powers or no powers and he proves it in unexpected ways.

I really like this couple and the way the story progresses.

It's time for Molly to mate with Gavin. She is scared out of her mind, but when she finally is with her Daddy, life will become better for her. Gavin is nervous, but he knows that Molly will be everything, and more, than what he dreams about. Of course, fate is taking an active role with the new mates and helping the wolf shifters meet the threat of the bear shifters. Everyone is concerned about these new traits, but they are meeting the needs of their little ones.

I loved Gavin and Molly's story. He does everything he can to support Molly. I was impressed with his diligence and the help he received from the other Daddies and future Daddies. This was a wonderful story and I look forward to more in the series. Maybe a new bear shifters series as well?

Gavin by Paige Michaels is the sixth book in the series, and it was so nice to get to read his story, and experience his HEA! Gavin and Molly are so sweet together.

Gavin is all in on giving his little one anything and everything she needs, completely accepting every part of her. Molly is fast realizing that life is just a bit different up the mountain, however, that for the first time perhaps ever she's truly able to be herself and be accepted for it. And I love this for both of them and their connection to one another!

I love how each book in this series is a standalone, however, there are things brewing in the wider world it's set in, and that really adds a cool layer to each story as that expands! And loving how it's about partnership, even when there's this strong caring dynamic!

I love this series and get very excited when Paige Michaels releases a new book! In this one Gavin and Molly’s fated coupling is the centre of the story. He is an Alpha protector but more importantly, an Alpha Daddy. As always, I enjoy watching these larger than life shifters go crazy over their precious mates and Little girls. Molly was quiet and shy but once united with her Daddy, she came out of her shell. I read this one in one sitting and enjoyed it very much. I’m giving GAVIN the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

Gavin and Molly story was so good . Molly knew her ceremony was coming and she was scared because she wasnt like the way she thought she had to be ... when she met Gavin she was attracted to her mate but scared and whatv I loved about Gavin is after the ceremony he did not push her to steamy times ... he waited til she was ready and she discovered along with Gavin she could hear conversations and at first it was annoying her but she learns to tune it out and Gavin is soundproofing the house this is a good story and i cant wait for the next one

OMG! What do the Daddy Shifters need all these extra special Little Mates for I can’t wait to find out. Molly has spent most of her young life being ‘taught’ by her mother everything she’s going to need to do for her mate, but Molly just can’t seem to get the hang of them and would rather be in her room reading. As the day of her mating approaches she gets more and more nervous. What would her mate be like what would she be expected to do, what would her life be like? So many questions.

I fell in love with sweet and shy Molly from page one and Gavin is the perfect Daddy for her. He is able to roll with everything that her shift throws up. This story is very well written and will draw the reader into the world of the Alpha Daddies. There are a lot of age-play elements that are integral to the storyline. I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving an honest review. I find this author's stories a real treat to read and always look forward to them.

Gavin was such a cozy, emotional, and steamy read! I really enjoyed reading Molly and Gavin’s story. Molly is someone I could relate to. Quiet, introvert, and just wanting a peaceful life with her nose in a book.
Gavin, on the other hand, is the perfect mix of strength and softness. The way he instantly commits to protect Molly and understand her needs made my heart melt. Their connection felt genuine and lovable.

Gavin and Molly were both great to read about. I felt for Molly how worried she was to be mated but I loved how quickly Gavin is able to help her see she is exactly where she needs to be. Gavin was the perfect Daddy for Molly and I loved how far he went to make sure she was safe and happy. I also seriously loved the way that Molly slept at night.

I read an ARC and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.
