His Bullied Fated Mate
I hate him for bullying, humiliating, and tormenting me.
It made me run from him and everyone else so I could lick my wounds in silence.
But the fated bond among werewolves is failing, and the council has designed a ritual.
A ritual that matches elite grumpy Alphas like him with outcast humans like me. Which it does.
Adopted by werewolf parents, I was marked as a mistake when I turned out to be human.
When the situation grew unbearable, I left for the human world.
Now my life is being disrupted by the pack that broke me, led by my personal tormentor.
And that tormentor is obsessed with the idea of having me all to himself.
He ties me to him through a private ceremony. He moves me into his home.
But I’m no longer the quiet girl he once knew. I’m a spitfire now, and I fight back.
Until he tells me that it only makes him more obsessed with me.
Until he shows me the things he can do to my body that I’ve craved all along.
Will the grumpy Alpha claim his outcast mate for good?
For the first time in recorded history, the fated bond among the Riverville wolves is failing. The council has designed a method for identifying suitable mates. There’s only one the mates are human outcasts. And they have no choice but to give in to their Alpha mates…

This book needs some editing. The mistakes are minor, but there are enough that it’s distracting
(Possible spoilers ahead)
I think the plot definitely had potential, but sadly, it kind of fell off and some things just didn’t make sense.
This quote:
50%
“You are stunning. Every part of you is perfect. Just looking at you gets me close to nutting.”
—————
No author should use “nutting” EVER! That was worth deducting 3 stars and I almost DNF right there. 🤢
We were told that H bullied h in high school, but we were never shown how. I kind of assumed he played jokes on her, but again…we were never shown. In a bully book, I really like to know exactly HOW somebody was bullied. h has soooooo much anger towards H in the beginning. We were told the bullying was so bad she left town after high school and hasn’t been back since.
H- if the witches didn’t tell him that h was his mate, he definitely would’ve never hooked up with h. I just didn’t feel like he gave two craps about her at all. I don’t even think he was attracted to her. Sure, later on he is when he wants to get his dixk wet and she’s available 🤷♀️ AND (this is important) after he finds out she’s some hidden witch with lots of power 👀….strange how that happens.
I decided not to check out the rest of the series. It just never really caught my attention. YMMV
I just looked at my list on GR and discovered I’ve read another of this author’s shifter series. I had the same complaints on that series. This author is not my vibe.

Wolf shifter & human romance
The start of another great slow build shifter/human romance with great building chemistry between the main characters, mate bonds, danger, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, brothers best friend, bullying grumpy alpha, light banter, love and a great HEA. A great page turner, I couldn't put it down.
Janella had been adopted as a baby and her parents and brother had always loved her even when they realised she was just human rather than a shifter as they'd been told. But the rest of the pack had always made her life difficult and her worst bully at school had been her brother Troy's best friend Riley, so after finishing school she'd left to make a new life for herself.
Riley grew up to become the alpha but several years later they're having anger issues throughout the pack and mate bonds are breaking. The Council's solution is to find Riley's mate and when he hears it's Janella he doesn’t know how she'll react. Though taking her straight to their bond ceremony might not have been the best first step.
But things don't start getting better straight away and it will take them both living together, learning to work together and fully accepting the bond before it does. I loved seeing them grow closer and Riley learn to court Janella to win her love.
I look forward to the next in this series and seeing Troy and the other alphas find their mates.

I was excited about the book when I read the blurb, but really, it let me down. Too many grammar and spelling mistakes, the mentioning of characters that are not in the scenes, not even in the book. But nothing is as bad as our MFC creating a new life for herself, becoming a much stronger woman, and then, just because the guy tells her she has to come back, using a ridiculous excuse, she just jumps in the car and goes back with him. Seriously??? ridiculous.
It was promising, but no. This isn't the only book though. There are many authors releasing material without proofreading nor editing.

Need to edit Names
Story line is very good. The problem is toward the end the characters names start getting mixed up with each other and at some point a name is listed that is not even in this book.

Good story but needs a spell check
Good narrative heavily detracted by simple errors riddled throughout. Needs another edit to avoid being distracting. Check gendered terms for example to correct POV being used.

Slow burning kind of love
Riley grew up it's a nice progression to see. I loved how he courted and won the love of his mate. Can't wait for the other stories, I bet Troy is next.

This is so bad I just can’t anymore. Tons of errors, choppy writing, zero likable characters…I’m done 🤣

Wow wow wow
All I can say is WOW. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading the next in the series. I have found a new author to follow.

so good
Review of advance copy received from Author
The first book in the Riverville Fated Mates series by Blue Thorne is incredibly captivating! I read the book in one sitting, turning page after page to see what happens next. There is adventure, intrigue,enemies-to-lovers, and romance. The characters are well written with depth. The two MC'S Janella and Riley are engaging and easy to get to know. They have a sizzling chemistry. Blue's world building is absolutely brilliant, beautiful and magical and weaves vivdly throughout the story. I absolutely enjoyed this book and recommend reading it!
