Luna #2
Mated
They call me their Luna. But how can I lead anyone, when I’m still learning who I’ve become?
I came to Roseville for a fresh start—and found fated mates, long-lost family, and the truth about who I really am. I’m a new wolf. A Luna. The centre of not one, not two, but three powerful packs.
And my world keeps shifting.
I started with five mates. Now there are eight men tied to my soul—each one more protective, possessive, and impossible to resist.
My instincts are stronger. My wolf is louder. And every day, I feel myself slipping further from who I used to be. My emotions are raw. My reactions unpredictable. Even the people I love most aren’t safe from the storm rising inside me.
I trust my pack, but someone is hunting us and no matter how much I love my mates, I can’t protect them from what’s coming.
Because dead bodies are turning up in our small town. The Wolf Council is circling. And a stalker is watching my every move, threatening the life I’ve only just begun to build.
The wolves want answers. The vampires want order. But all I want is to breathe.
I didn’t choose this life. But I won’t let it break me.
Not when the people I love are counting on me to lead.
Mated is the second book in a medium-burn paranormal reverse harem romance featuring a fierce heroine, eight fated mates, found family, and rising danger. This series ends in an HEA, and you must read book one to follow the story along.

Toxic female lead
I made it half way to the second book and I had to stop reading. I had already hated book one but I hoped it would get better in book too. Not the case. The female lead is a brat, and childish. I was extremely disappointed. The way she treats her mates is disappointing. She disregards her mates feelings and throws tantrums when they do the same to her. She really isn’t a teams player and just does whatever she wants and expects everyone to fall in line with her and if they don’t she has a tantrum and makes everyone feel bad. When they discuss this she tell them she will work harder but the same problems arise with her again and again. She really isn’t growing or changing for the better of her mates and packs. The whole time I just wanted her to be gone and for them to find a better Alpha Female . I really had high hopes for this book.

Horrible
The main female character in this is so annoying, whining all the time, abusive towards her mates, rude, talks about not judging others but constantly judges, Lottie is clearly the issue in the book, I read book one, barely, but thought maybe she will be better in book two, nope..she is horrible and couldn't get through the book, I had to stop reading, not to mention the writing is that of a child who has no formal training in writing. Not worth the time, even if it is free.

I've got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
So as I said in my small review at 41%, I was either expecting this book be a huge hit or miss for me and luckily it was a HUGE HIT!
Let me say this. When I started reading the first book I hated the first quarter of it, until nearly the very end and I freaking loved it! I was unsure whether this book is going to be the same as previous or something else. I'm truly happy to say that this book was amazing!
Before I thought that I could recommend this book to ages 13-18 until I realised it has some super steamy scenes and probably no parent would want their child to read a book like this at such a young age. Which is good, because then US older people can have this gem for ourselves! Haha.
Luna or Charlotte or most preferably Lottie. Where do I start with her? I freaking love her. She didn't disappoint in this book, quite opposite, she rocked. Yes, she might be quite problematic or rather problems tend to find her, but she's such an amazing person and human being. I love what she stands for, what she represents, for whom she fights and for what she'll fight. In the first book I wasn't quite sure if I'll end up liking her, but in this book she's THE best person here.
The relationships between each of the characters here is amazing. Either way you'll always end up laughing at some point. I maybe have gotten lost a few times in the book because of so many people, but I wouldn't change it. They are all just so good!
When I picked up this book and got a few pages in, I was super impressed, because every few pages there was something happening and you just didn't want to put the book down. If the few pages you wanted to give up and have lunch and let's say just finish a chapter? Well, nice try but you wouldn't get that far because something would draw you back in.
I really mean to say that from the first book to this one, Letty did an amazing job! Her writing skills are super awesome, her thinking and the way she created this place, rules, people, feelings, personalities, she's just so amazing at this.
I can't wait to read the next book and hopefully it's not the last, because I feel like this series could have at least 10 books and I'd still be interested to read every single one!

DNF @ 29%
I have the same problems in this novel as the first. Who are the guys in her harem? They are so completely flat and useless. In all honesty, I can’t keep track of them because they are not important to the plot and have very little description or development. This issue with the guys extends into the romance department. There are no cute, fluffy feelings or passionate sex. I’d only stay for the plot, everything else sucks.

Absolutely amazing! This series is without a doubt one of my favorites! There is something so unique and special about this series. From the phenomenal storyline that always has me wanting more because I am head-over-heels in love, to the incredibly well developed characters with their own personalities, to the overall outstanding writing that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go.
Mated continues where Luna (Book 1) left off and this story just continues to grow and flourish! I am obsessed with Lottie. Her strength, courage, compassion and love are such a huge part of this book. The way she handles everything in stride, protects those she’s loves and cares about, and always stands up for what is right it truly outstanding. I seriously want her as a best friend...I would say move out of the way Katie, but I’ll happily take her too!
There is so much progression, development, and bond building with Lottie and her mates in this story and I love seeing them all unfold in their own way. They all connect in such deep and distinct ways that it’s so fun to watch and ride out the wave as everything moves forward. I love even more that Letty Frame gives each character a spotlight, that each plays an important role in the story. Both Lottie and each mate has their time to shine. But I also love that even secondary characters like Katie, Lexie, Everett, etc. still play a vital role in the story and plot line.
Also, dang did Letty turn up the heat in this book! Phew! I was loving every minute of the Lottie’s intimate moments with her mates. Definitely the sexy times, but also just the loving and doting moments when they cuddle and hold hands to soothe one another and are just there for each other.
I seriously cannot describe how much I love this book and this series! Letty Frame has definitely become one of my all-time favorite authors. The writing is out of this world amazing. It just completely captivates me and provides me with a wonderful escape.
I cannot recommend this book/series enough! It’s truly outstanding! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I wouldn’t even hesitate.

This was a fun continuation of Lottie’s story. It takes a while to get into the heart of the plot—growing in her powers and absorbing members into her pack. While the last book focused on learning she is a wolf shifter and meeting her number of mates, this book had a lot more happening in it. Sometimes it was hard to follow as so much was packed in, but it kept the story moving. The ending of the first book was a bit of a cliffhanger and while this book picks up where it left off, it doesn’t seem to be a focus of this story other than a way for her mates to demand to be close to her, and there’s no resolution to the storyline or really much of a next step with it. I wish we had gotten a little more focus on this conflict, but it’s set up to continue into the next story.
If you like drama and emotional characters then you’ll probably enjoy the story. Lottie is constantly swinging from crying to frustration to giggling. Part of it was because her mate bonds weren’t complete, and while I understood when I finished that it was for the plot, I was frustrated as a reader because they all know that would make her stop being so emotional, she didn’t like feeling so emotional, and it caused more conflict in the relationships...so why not just complete the bonds? I personally struggled to relate to a character who had the solution in her hand and didn’t use it. The mates also spent a significant amount of time bickering amongst themselves, which did get old even if it was probably an accurate portrayal of the dynamics of this kind of pairing. I also felt bad for all of them because they don’t really have a choice in having to share a mate or not.
Lottie is a strong female who is passionate about justice and caring for those for whom life hasn’t been kind. I hope that the relationship drama settles down so she can focus on the many injustices she is trying to correct. Girl is on a mission.

Step into the chose
When I read Luna, I loved the concept of her being a vet and finding out she was a wolf. The book focused on relationships and connection. Well, Mated takes that concept and amps it up x100!!!
Mated starts off where we finished Luna and we start to get more info on what is going on in the town. The group dynamics are still new and the gang is learning how to communicate, coexist, and connect as a group. There are lots of strong emotions, miscommunication, and times where both the guys and Lottie mess up.
We get to know some of the guys better, especially the ones who entered the first book toward the end. River was my favorite in Luna, but I definitely added Wyatt in this book as well. I love their banter!
We see Lottie adjust to her bonds, develop her relationships more, and come into her confidence as a wolf/Luna. She does a lot on instinct and starts to trust herself with that. She cares a lot about her pack and fights for those who need it.
Overall, there is a lot of focus on emotions and understanding how to navigate these new bonds and relationships. Mental health and trauma are represented and discussed. Fighting for oneself and trying to break the male dominated system is also a theme. Lottie is herself and when people try to put her in a box, she shatters it. This book helped set the foundation for what is to come for the pack and the fight against the shifter council.
It's funny with a wicked witch of a future mother in law, lots of wine and baking, high heels and plaits, and lots and lots of steamy. Hey-o! This book amps the steam up to high heat! Single narration and no MM (at the moment). I always hold out hope 🥰🤞🏻. Not a cliffhanger, but still plot strings to resolve in future books. If you love big harems, fated mates, emotional depth, and sassy females....then why are you still reading this? Click on Mated now!

Omg this book sucked me in. Letty just has a way with words. Lottie is trying to be a good Luna to two packs and learn how to be a new wolf. There were times I was sitting and yelling at her mates when they did something stupid. I felt like I could picture everything. The ending let you want more. I can't wait to see what trouble Lottie brings her mates.

OMFG This book is everything. From the very first page I was in a world I couldn't escape. Just putting it out there, there is a lot of sex. This book is hot. I love that even with all the sex it doesn't get lost in the storyline - an amazing book and I seriously Can't wait to see where this author goes in the future she's def turned into one of my must read authors.

I loved book one but book 2 was even better. Lottie is such an amazing character and it makes reading her story so enjoyable.

This book was amazing and so long which I really appreciate especially when I love the book . Lottie has been through so much but she’s so strong , smart and talented . I don’t think her mates really understand how awesome she is but they will . Karen is still being Karen gods I hope her boys finally put her in her place. You won’t be disappointed with this book at all it’ll make you love it even more . I can’t wait for book 3

It is quite difficult to enjoy this book with all the women’s rights advocation going on in the story, plus other political aspects. It just takes from the story a bit too much for my tastes. I tried really hard to give the main character a chance, but she is quite controlling of her mates when she herself doesn’t like to be controlled. This is just how I see it. It seems she wants “equal” footing with her mates (mainly the alphas) but then she is very domineering and controlling over them. It seems everyone needs to view things her way or they are wrong. This is the most annoying thing. I get she is quite powerful as a Luna of her pack, but in my honest opinion the author made her a bit too controlling of others. This doesn’t make a good leader. Period.

Good, but long and drawn out
I enjoy the premise of this story. But it felt like the book kept bringing up the same topics over and over again. I get the point that she is trying to adjust and her mates are trying to adjust to each other, but it was a lot of the same conflict just different scenarios. It started to get old as you hear Lottie get on the same soap box she was on a couple chapters before. And for such a bad ass Luna, she sure is needy and constantly needs assurance that she didn't mess anything up. By the end I was just annoyed

Confusing
I really don't know what thinking about this serie and this book. I'm totally lost.
On one side it interests me and I can't say why and on the other side I find it very bad.
Lottie cries everyday for everything and nothing, it's ridiculous.
She's sometimes very bossy with her men and even disrespectful.
Nothing really happens in this volume except the matings. I know it's the title but come on, I expect more from the author.
The timeline is sometime difficult to understand, is it the afternoon? The night? Which day? The rythm is both too rapid and too slow which is very weird!
I don't know if I want to read the next volumes, I'm very confused...

I think it was a good idea...
It's just that Lottie is so... overwhelming. She was too much. Too emotional, too full-of-herself. Just too much. She cried if they weren't in the room, she cried if they were out doing their jobs. SHE JUST CRIED. And it wasn't enjoyable to read. The only reason that I'll be reading the next book is because I LOVE THE GUYS!! They are so caring and can't be blamed for everything they are accused of.

Too much
Honesty I had high hopes for this series. I had thought Lottie would mature as the story progressed but she stayed a brat and annoying so. I had hoped for more about the guys and less jumping around with the storyline but the way it jumped just didnt make sense and made it difficult trying to even finish.

Would give a minus star if possible
Allies is the 2nd book in this series. It should be titled “how to walk on eggshells”. Overly sensitive Lottie needs to be constantly reassured, yet she is suppose to be powerful. The book was long and drawn out, loses the plot and never picks it up again.

This is a book about a girl going to a thousand meetings. So don’t listen to the blurb, reallyit isjust Lottie going to meetings,casuing some drama and having sex with her mates. Which wasn’t at all what I expected of this book after how good and fun the first book was...
June 10, 2025
This is a combined review of the first two books in this series. I couldn’t bear to continue with the series after ploughing through the first two. I don’t care enough about any of the characters and the writing style was very off-putting for me. There’s a lot to say about it all; where do I start?
~The author uses the wrong words in context (eg. "infliction" instead of the correct "inflection". It changed the entire meaning of the sentence.)
~There is an insipid, stupid fmc who refuses to hear/see things that are said/done right in front of her (book 1), then spends ages wondering why things are happening that have literally already been explained to her face. She is feeble, inconsistent and so annoying, I wanted to reach into the book and throttle her. Then in book 2, she becomes a total powerhouse, adapting instantly to life in a species she had never even heard of a few weeks beforehand. I'm sure the feeble stupidity of the fmc in book 1 was there to contrast and highlight the power she acquired in book 2, but it's like she became an entirely different person and lacked any believable continuity for her character. Feeble, emotional, dimwitted virgin in book 1, then a strong, courageous, sexually confident leader in book 2.
~The fmc falls in love with 5 strangers on day two of meeting them, despite most of those two days being spent wondering why they are acting strangely and being concerned about their inclination to throw fists. They call her "mate" and introduce her as such, but she doesn't query it, just says "oh, how sweet they call me a friend." Presumably because the guys are hot and therefore no questions need to be asked. Also she doesn't wonder why the vet and the GP work out of the same office. She doesn't wonder why the big house is called the pack house, nor why there are SO MANY wolves around in a country which doesn't actually have a lot of (or any?) wild wolves anywhere. She brings a whole new level of meaning to the word "dim."
~The author, despite the blurb saying she lives in England, uses American terminology and words (math, not maths, nightstand, not bedside table, smelt [which does have a meaning in the UK but it does not mean the same as smelled], dreamt [again, should be dreamed], school credits [something which UK schools don't have], grades, not school year groups, etc) despite the story apparently taking place in a fictional county in the north of England. As a UK reader it is constantly jarring when Americanisms are thrown into an English story like that. It kept jolting me out of the fictional world I was trying to immerse myself in.
~There is one point in which the spelling of one of the MMC's names changes from Dillon to Dylan, then back to Dillon. Yes, we get it - the character was originally spelled Dylan but the author changed it to make it more interesting. It failed on two counts: it is the same name, no matter how you spell it and, if you don't proof read properly before publishing, it just looks ridiculous.
~There are random commas popping up where commas are not supposed to be - this interrupts the reading experience and pulls me out of the story. By the end of book 2 (I am not continuing with any more books by this author, I can't stand it) I was thinking about starting a support group for displaced and unnecessary commas. There were too many sentences ending with a preposition, which frankly is just shoddy writing. Also, I can only assume the author has never heard of "show, don't tell" since sentences such as "I felt sad" were rife. Anyone can write a story, but a truly good author will write that story WELL and get their spelling and grammar correct. This is, sadly, not the case here.
These are all reasons this series failed, for me. If you feel I’m nit picking and none of this stuff bothers you, and if you don’t care about anything exciting happening in your books, and if you don’t mind your spicy scenes being equivalent to a wet firework, they might be perfect for you.
~The author uses the wrong words in context (eg. "infliction" instead of the correct "inflection". It changed the entire meaning of the sentence.)
~There is an insipid, stupid fmc who refuses to hear/see things that are said/done right in front of her (book 1), then spends ages wondering why things are happening that have literally already been explained to her face. She is feeble, inconsistent and so annoying, I wanted to reach into the book and throttle her. Then in book 2, she becomes a total powerhouse, adapting instantly to life in a species she had never even heard of a few weeks beforehand. I'm sure the feeble stupidity of the fmc in book 1 was there to contrast and highlight the power she acquired in book 2, but it's like she became an entirely different person and lacked any believable continuity for her character. Feeble, emotional, dimwitted virgin in book 1, then a strong, courageous, sexually confident leader in book 2.
~The fmc falls in love with 5 strangers on day two of meeting them, despite most of those two days being spent wondering why they are acting strangely and being concerned about their inclination to throw fists. They call her "mate" and introduce her as such, but she doesn't query it, just says "oh, how sweet they call me a friend." Presumably because the guys are hot and therefore no questions need to be asked. Also she doesn't wonder why the vet and the GP work out of the same office. She doesn't wonder why the big house is called the pack house, nor why there are SO MANY wolves around in a country which doesn't actually have a lot of (or any?) wild wolves anywhere. She brings a whole new level of meaning to the word "dim."

BORING WITH A WHINY HEROINE WITH DOUBLE-STANDARDS
This book could not have been more boring. Nothing happens at all. Not even the cliffhanger is interesting enough to want to read the next book.
Before starting this series I read another in which I hated the FMC and when I started this one I though it was a nice change. I felt relieved that I could once again have a mature, caring and sweet heroine, but that is just all out the window.
I get and actually like when the heroine is vulnerable and gets comfort from her mates from time to time, but Lottie just never stops being incredibly whiny and a cry-baby. It gets to a point were I seriously pitty all of her mates for having to constantly mold their personalities, opinions, reactions, really anything to accomodate her needs. It makes their relationship or bond in this case seem incredibly toxic and unbalaced.
To this point I dont even feel interested in her mates because I can't even picture their appereances in my head to distinguish them. Other than their names I really don't know how they are so I don't feel like "oh yeah of course wyatt would react this way". That makes jokes less funnier, moments less special and their relationship in general too forced (yeah even with magically fated mated bonds).
There is a pattern here that started in the first book and I hope it doesnt continue in the next. That is that the whole plot just consists of the 9 of them constantly making "mistakes" regarding their ranks and relationship, they repeat the explanations at least 3 times before moving on to the next mistake that will surely come. Lottie is 100% of the time just crying and demanding attention, being bratty, needing to be consouled, taking over every pack as a "leader" over her mates heads without an ounce of humility or modesty despite her being VERY new to the wolf world. The other part of the plot is them having meetings over and over and over which accomplish absolutely nothing other then repeating the same information the reader has read over and over and over. If there is something that should be summarized is definitely those meetings and not the interaction with her mates...
I even skipped chapters in this book because really there was nothing to read about in them. Whenever Lottie gets cry-baby is like the start of the first book all over again. Is as if everyones memories have been erased and they are re-learning her "struggles" as a new wolf. Truly annoying and boring.
Overall I did not like this book and if possible I would have given 0 stars.

Good
Picking up where the cliffhanger in book one left off, we find Lottie dealing with a the discovery of a body in her cottage. Then there are the eight mates she needs to bond with, her new Luna duties, and the various conflicts that arise because of all of these.
This book held a lot of promise when it started.
First there was the aftermath of a murder to be dealt with, then there were the bonds with mates and pack to instigate. Unfortunately, most of that seemed to get a little lost along the way.
Lottie is a very strong character, the problem is when that starts to translate to “practically perfect in every way”. Lottie is stronger than everyone, knows everything, and is better than all her mates! At least that is the way it reads.
This was a long book, and by the end of it I was slightly annoyed, and very tired of all of Lottie’s lectures. She just had to start advocating for everything, which might have made more sense if she were a lawyer rather than a veterinarian, but that wasn’t the worst of it. It was that EVERYONE else was wrong, and she was right. It was that ONLY SHE had seen these things, and that only she was willing to change them. And the lectures and soapbox stands took up a lot of the book, meaning the whole stalker/murder thing got brushed aside, and the second murder was only briefly referred to, and the questioning of the subject was dropped (I had hoped Lottie would get to help with that!).
The emotional outbursts didn’t bother me too much, I felt they were to be expected considering it all, but I didn’t really care for Lottie’s treatment of her mates. They were apparently caring and good alphas long before she came along, and this book makes it seem like they are neither. A reverse harem doesn’t work too well when it tends to veer towards man-hating, and I felt myself wincing each time an issue came up.
To cut a long story short, this book had a lot of promise, but got bogged down in the politics and soapbox philosophies, which dragged it out without furthering the story much, and resulted in me docking a star. Instead of dealing with the mysteries, our female lead turned into a crusader, and the mates ended up as sexual relief! Hopefully, the rest of the books in the series fill in the mate backgrounds and answer the stalker question, without too many lectures.
Between the lectures though, the story was actually quite good, and some interesting events occurred. It would be interesting to see why Lottie is so over-powered, and whether her kidnapping as an infant played a part in it all…

DNF - Finished 100% of book one & 30% of book two
I am a huge fan of reverse harems with LARGE harems, so I was REALLY looking forward to this series... Also, after reading Letty Frame's Second Chance series, she became one of my favorite authors... unfortunately this series just didn't hit the spot for me.
Letty has no idea about the shifter world until she moves to a small town to be a vet that is full of them. She ends up being the mate to the alphas (of course) which makes her Luna of the pack. I get why the author made her fit into the role of a Luna so easily, because it was her instincts or whatever but like... there has to be some kind of believability to the story to make it enjoyable. Letty is constantly over emotional due to being away from shifters and being thrust into this new life, which honestly, that isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was that there was constantly these super long speeches she was giving to thousands of shifters and the alphas just totally step aside and let her run things. FOR THREE DIFFERENT PACKS! Even her real father just totally steps aside and lets her run everything. (four if you count the one she made them absorb) It was just so silly and ridiculous that she was constantly standing in front of everyone and taking over EVERYTHING. Not to mention the constant speeches were just feeling a little repetitive and took away from the story.
Also, just like the whole way that she finally realizes that they are her mates, not friends.. she was too oblivious and then too nonchalant about everything? Supposedly she has never connected with men and has barely dated but is totally okay to kiss and cuddle multiple men after one day? Everything just felt so forced. It didn't flow. I'm sorry. I wanted to love it but I feel like I wasted my time with this one.

Mated (The Luna Series Book 2)
Mated (The Luna Series Book 2) ~~ Mated turns up both the emotional pressure and the stakes. Lottie is no longer just trying to survive ~ she’s being pulled toward a future she never imagined for herself, and the weight of that responsibility is heavy.
The pack bonds deepen here, and not always smoothly. Trust is fragile, emotions run high, and expectations start to close in. I loved that Lottie doesn’t suddenly become confident or fearless. She questions herself constantly, but she keeps going anyway.
This book made it clear that Lottie’s role is bigger than she ever planned ~ and walking away may no longer be an option.
I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself ~ you won’t regret it.

This book is amazing! I love this series and this book is no different. I love love love Lottie. She is so strong and independent. This can be seen in how she treats others and stands up for what she believes in. There couldn't be a better Luna for her pack.
”I don’t see these as arguments, and instead of an enlightening discussion where I broaden people’s horizons and offer an alternative view.”
Letty did an amazing job building Lottie’s relationships with her pack. Lottie has a lot of guys which is not easy to handle but Letty makes it work. I don't feel like any of the guys are left out throughout the story.
This was an amazing story with a lot of sex. I can’t wait for the next book!

To be honest this second book was as enjoyable as the first.
The FMC is a strong modern independent woman. Because of this being based in today's society it makes it more easy to believe Lotti is a strong independent female who takes no shit.
Letty Frame has truly crafted a unique world with a fresh idea on lycranthopes and vampires.
Considering there are many characters I was able to follow who was who with relative ease.
I havent read many reverse harem novels, yet this story highlights how wonderful it can be and made me want for myself 😂
I love how Letty sprinkles humour through her story to help lighten the tension.
There wasn't as much sex in this book and not as much sexual tension but the moment Lotti finally bonds with her last mate was epic!
I can't wait for book 3.

Absolutely amazing! Lottie has always found injustice and fought against it. And the same is true here. She’s making a name accidentally because of it as well, and shown up on the radar of other alphas and authority figures. She also is really knew to the shifter life. How was she to know that she’d blow up everything they’ve ever known?
I’m loving her story, watching her grow with her mates, and reading how they figure out the harem. It’s rare that you just get to watch the day to day in a harem. It’s either all drama or everything is roses. In this harem, the day to day is messy and I love it. It’s real. Feelings are hurt, relationships are being figured out, and roles are being found. I can’t wait to read more.

I wanted to love it…
I enjoyed the first book a lot. But this sequel has really failed to develop the story meaningfully. I get that she’s supposed to be a badass Luna, but she’s constantly getting into situations that just don’t make sense? Why are we plotting to overthrow systems of government after learning about them for fifteen minutes? Why are we not having healthy conversations about intimacy with all eight men? And it’s not just her. The men were so nice and good in the first book, but now they just seem fed up with her. They’re constantly picking fights and it seems really toxic now. And they’ve only known each other for a month. Can’t forget that bit. I don’t know if I’ll read the next book, but this one really let me down.

Another great story
So yesterday I found this author and read the first book. I couldn’t put it down and started the second as soon as I wrote the review. Her writing is great and here is why. She gives you events like back to back. If she mentions an event is going to happen she writes it out. She does not skim over it. I love this kind of writing. It is not overly detailed or dragging because she writes everything down. It flows and makes for me a better story.
I love that so much keeps happening and Lottie is such a bad a$$ FMC. She gives and strikes and processes on the fly. Absolutely love her and her mates. Katie is such a great friend and so happy she is there for the ride as well. On to book three.

I love being back in the world of Lottie. I couldn't and didn't want to put this book down. As Lottie learns more about the world she has been abruptly thrust into and the men in her life, so do we right alongside her. Things heat up and I love the interactions with all the characters previously met in book 1, and the new ones I find myself loving, introduced to me here. There was a great diversity of emotions that were pulled from me as I read. I can't wait for book 3. This series is great and well worth reading.
