What do you do when you meet your fated mate too soon?

Jude believes that fate was what brought him to Timber Valley over a decade ago. And although it’s taken twelve years for him to scent his mate, he wonders if there was a mistake since his mate doesn’t seem to notice him. When he discovers the young fox isn’t yet of mating age, he goes back to waiting. Again.

Finn’s life was ideal—and then it wasn’t. Suddenly he and his parents, along with his twin brother, are forced from their home, running for their lives. When they finally arrive at a safe haven a year later, he learns not only more about himself, but his family and others as well.

Just as things get comfortable, Finn’s fox is suddenly drawn to Timber Valley, and he follows his instincts. When the gorgeous alpha with the mesmerizing eyes and enchanting smile calls him mate, Finn wonders if fate got things wrong.

Jude’s Whisper is the fifth book in the Timber Valley Wolf Pack Series. Because of the continuing story line, these are best read in order. Each book focuses on a different couple, but the backstory is ongoing. This book is intended for adults only as each book contains a fated mate pair, Mpreg, knotting during howly sexy times, and babies. These alphas will do anything for their mates—just read and see.

Good couple, but mostly just filler for the greater story arc

I liked Jude and Finn as a couple, but I was disappointed that the meeting with the Fates didn't happen until the epilogue and it was a bit of a non starter. We, at least, got to learn more about Jeanie, and see her be able to get some help, but it honestly felt like clickbait.

It's clear that this is not the last book in the series, since things were left so open-ended, but there aren't any other single characters that we've already met, so it's a bit odd that we didn't get a clue here... Unless Thomas is getting a mate?...

3,5*

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:
A 3,5* is clicked with a 4* but in review marked as 3,5*:

5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-Away-book like ‘Jesse's Smile’ or ‘Joey’ from Angelique Jurd, ‘Save the the kids’ series
from EM Leya, ‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or ‘Liberty’ from Seth King),
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often reread and is a WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises (like most of Andrew Grey books and Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series)
it's like an A

3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few times (most romances where you can enjoy for relaxing and during waiting times in
hospitals). I can recommend them definitively!
It's like an B+

3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader (2-3 times a year),
it's like a B

2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-reader (I wouldn't recommend it heartily, but it was ok)
It's like a C-, D

1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an absolute NO-GO). It's like failure in the
whole line, dismissed, repeat the class

Your fated fox is finally 18! Will he scent you & let you claim him?

Book 5. This series just keeps getting better! I was thrilled that the continuing story had all my old friends. Book 4 featured Flynn & Tucker. This book tells the story of Flynn's twin, Finn and his mate, Jude. Family secrets will be revealed. Decisions will be made. There is a nursery to die for, and grandparents galore. Oooh, did I mention the Fates? I love this book!
I hope you have read the first 4 books, as this is one continuous story. Like Tucker, Jude's wolf scented his underage fox mate a year ago. On Finn's 18th birthday, he finally claims him. A few days and a first heat later and Finn's scent changes. Get ready for a very possessive wolf, a tired, pregnant fox, frustrating warlocks, family, and HEA. You will love this book!
If you haven't read the first 4 books, get them now. Each book blends into the next, overlapping, and intertwining the characters. I can't wait to read book 6.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.

Finn estava pronto para estar com seu companheiro, porém as coisas estavam contra ele, primeiro ele fugiu e foi levado ao corpo de bombeiros, pois lá estava seu companheiro, depois ele ficou sabendo que precisava esperar até seu aniversário para estar com seu companheiro, mesmo isso o chateou, mas ao saber o motivo, ele entendeu, porém ele queria passar tempo com seu enterno. Jude estava esperando por muito tempo, e agora somente alguns dias seria a eternidade, porém seria perfeito, pois sua raposa seria finalmente seu. E claro que tudo se encaixou, e segredo com dor e tristeza vieram a tona, e deixaram vontade de consertar o injusto, e claro que um feiticeiro e seu companheiro estão plenamente envolvidos. Princesa veio ao mundo para completar a família e alegrar, e claro tornar tudo perfeito. Bjo.

Creo que ame este libro mas que el de Tucker y Flynn. Simplemente amoo a Finn, su personalidad es tan unica y me identifique mucho con su pasión por los libros y Jude fue un amor con el, adoraba a Finn sinceramente y le daba todo su amor y atención fue paciente con el, le enseño, lo ayudo y lo apoyo, definitivamente fueron hechos el uno para el otro, me gusta mucho la personalidad de Finn, es tímido y un poco despistado pero sabe lo que quiere y no le da pena decirlo, Jude es una persona increible, estaba siempre ahi para Finn cuidandolo y protegiendolo de todo, siento que fue muy corta su historia y quiero mas de ellossss, simplemente hermosos los dos, fácilmente me podria leer otro libro de ellos o me podria releer este libro 3000 veces.

Finn is Flynn's Twin Brother from Tucker's Trouble. Here we fall in love with Jude and Finn. They have a similar situation as Flynn and Tucker, but they don't really give much away in this story. We do learn more about their parents.

Jude, like many alphas in this series, finds his mate and "smothers" him with love and attention. I love the way these alpha's love.

We also learn more about the Fates and can't wait to read the next book.

Sweet sweet family!

I absolutely adore Taylor's books, I always get sucked into thier world and dont wanna leave. Jude & Finn compliment each other so well, they are absolutely perfect for each other. In Flynns book I wasnt very happy with thier parents, I'm still not (they should have done better) but I now understand why things were the way they were for his parents. I love love the name Ivy Rose & the Hea the sweet family got. I'm looking forward to canyons story but sad the series is ending. Truly an amazing series and a wonderful author!!!!❤😀

I think these books are getting very repetitive. I only really want to still read them to read more about the people I am already invested in (Honey Creek and Timber Valley). But the structure of the books are all the same, the birth scenes are the same, there is a lot of information that just get's recycled in every book etc etc. There are also boring scenes that get repeated, eg I don't need to read about them all eating so often.

This is the fifth book in the : Timber Valley Wolf Pack Book Series

This is another fun and sweet read this time we have the other fox twin Finn and his mate Jude . This book is pretty much like the previous book before but time it's Finn and Jude s story . Like I said in my previous review I really like the little fox twins and I have enjoyed both of their stories very much . I'm truly enjoying this series and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series .

Jude is the Timber Valley Firefighter Chief, having taken the job after Forest stepped down. His mate is the second of the twin foxes from Alaska. Forced by his mate's father to wait a year until Finn is of mating age, Jude readies his life and home for his mate.
Another sweet story. In this one, we learn the consequences of claiming a mate too early. And why Finn and Flynn's parents seem so broken. A bit more focus on some world building here.

💜💜💜💜💜

This is a paranormal queer romance with mpreg, the fifth book in the “Timber Valley Wolf Pack”series which comes after the “Honey Creek Den” series that should be read in order. Jude has known who his fated mate was for a year now. He waits patiently for Finn to grow up and scent him. This is simply a sweet story with very little angst. It takes place at the same time as book four (the mates are twins!)

Cute

The book was good, Finn and Jude also make a cute couple.
It contains a few different scenarios then what was in the last book a little bit, even though they are the same scene.

This was such a sweet and heartwarming read. Jude had waited for Finn to come of age for a year before they could mate with each other. Once they mated their relationship grew and they even had a beautiful baby. I enjoyed this character driven story and the writing was well done.

Starting to repeat the same story

I’m going to be honest here. I’m enjoying the story, but each book seems to be repeat of the previous one. There only a few details changed. I hope that it doesn’t continue this way.

Jude and Finn

Fin is the other half of twins. His brother was mated the same day. Finn is the quiet one, trying not to rock the boat. His alpha, Jude, gets him to open up. His mom is struggling and he wants her to get better. Add all that with a baby and it gets pretty intense.

Jude's Whisper

Yay, we got Jude and Finn's side of things. Book 4 and this book things are happening simultaneously. So that was pretty cool. Now for their parents' side of things.
