Rejection and Redemption
Having been rejected by his mate and physically attacked by his father, Fintan Fitzwilliam drives out of town never to look back.
Stopping for the night at a village hotel, Fintan wakes three days later, to find himself in hospital, and not a normal hospital but a pack run one.
Dr Robert Pullman is surprised by an emergency phone call from his father, who has found an injured man outside of his hotel. What surprised Robert even more is that the injured man is his fated mate.
With a safe place to live and new friends Fintan’s life is suddenly happy and filled with joy. But his father is after him, as is Alpha Bishop, they want him back in the Bishop pack, and will drag him back at any cost.

This was so bad; it was like watching a train wreck. I should have quit, but there was this odd fascination - I wanted to know where all the 5 star ratings came from. I never figured that one out. I don't think there was a single page without multiple errors - misspellings, incorrect words, incorrect use of apostrophes (or lack of one), too many commas, and missing commas

Proofreader Needed!
Grammar, punctuation and misspelled words, wrong words can ruin a book! Through the entire book, like it was not proofread at all!
Would have been a really good book if reader didn’t have to interpret what writer meant when the wrong word was used or word was misspelled. Or there was no punctuation to tell when it was actual dialogue between characters or inner monologue.
This was just a poorly edited book and that just ruins a book.

Not the worst thing ever, but it's not good.
I saw other Goodreads reviews mentioning poor grammar and think I borrowed an edited version because I didn't notice many grammar issues, it's all plot problems for me. So many plot problems that I should have quit this, but there was this part of me curious enough about Jacob's character to read until I saw whether there was any story there.
Jacob is the 19 year old son of the Bishop pack Alpha who succumbs to peer pressure and publicly rejects his "fated mate" Fintan, a 17 year old wolf in the pack seen as being broken or defective because he hasn't shifted yet. Finn accepts the rejection, having had no idea about the supposed fated mates thing until they broke the bond. Finn felt a little twinge at that moment, but Jacob felt actual pain and seemed to want a much different response from Finn than simple acceptance of the rejection. That's page 2. We get an insight into Jacob from his perspective and then he is gone until page 234. I would have loved a story about Jacob redeeming himself to Finn and them being the romantic pairing, especially when the title is Rejection and Redemption. The blurb does make clear that the main characters are NOT Finn and Jacob, so I was not misled, I just honestly felt once I started reading that that could be a better story so the fanficcer in me was wanting to read on to see if there was enough for me to rewrite this on my head.
There is no rewriting or saving this, in my opinion, and the ridiculousness of so much of the plot makes my head hurt.
Finn, after being rejected by Jacob, is beaten up and banished from the Bishop pack. He leaves in the car he conveniently owns all on his own with money he just has independent of his abusive father and ends up in Pullman pack territory. He passes out on the doorstep of a hotel, ends up in a hospital where 28 year old Dr. Robbie Pullman, son of this packs' Alpha. It's in the book blurb and painfully obvious in the writing of the story that Robbie is Finn's "real" fated mates and they're all instalove stupid together in ways I hate so much. I will admit, one off-putting factor is I'm American so Finn, at 17, is underage, but the book is set in a "magical" UK where I know the age of consent is under 18. The age gap between them with their power imbalance given Finn's vulnerability just does not work for me.
Nothing works for me. The numerous pop culture and movie references are loathsome and I am an avid fan girl in a multitude of fandoms. I know and love every single movie referenced in this but still hate every reference used. There's all these meet cute vibes supposedly between Finn and Robbie in the beginning while in the background this subplot is playing out about a wolf killed by a human drunk driver on pack land and how his widow/fated mate Janice is just dying from the loss because the pair had no children so she is just pointless without her man so she's written out of existence for ????? reasons. So she dies and there's this continuing storyline about the packs loss and this tragedy effecting an upcoming fair while Finn's being adopted into Robbie's family with all kinds of wealth and love. Robbie's 18 year old brother comes home to the castle the Alpha family lives in and he's instant besties with Finn. Finn's uncle Emory follows him to the new pack, and Oh Wow what are the odds, Emory and Ezzy are fated mates. There's some line about how Finn will now be Ezzy's brother AND nephew and it's just stupid. Eventually, Finn's dad comes to take him back because Finn isn't a broken wolf, he's a super special late blooming magic white wolf that the Bishop pack wants back. There's stupid stuff that happens and eventually Jacob's character does come back to be shown as stupid, pathetic and pointless so that absolutely was not worth my reading of this whole story. There are actual second chance romances of a rejected mate ending up happily with the one that rejected them so I don't know why I wanted this to become that after reading page 2. After reading all the pages I now just want to return this for a better book. The only good thing I can say is that this was like brain floss and it'll all be forgotten as soon as I finish writing this review. If you like cloyingly sweet, unrealistic instalove stories with not 1 but 2 different pairings that tries cringingly hard to be funny and relatable then maybe you'll like this. Some people actually seem to by the Goodreads ratings.

I enjoyed the story but there were so many editing issues. I understand that it's self published, but for gosh sakes, edit it. Improper word usage, spelling mistakes, a couple of grammar mistakes. I could have lived with the grammar mistakes but there were enough wrong words used and spelling mistakes that I had a very difficult time finishing it. At 75% I almost gave up, at 78% I was at 99% ready to give up but I pushed through. I am seriously thinking about reporting the issues to Amazon for them to pull the book until edits are made. That is not what I want to do.

What's wrong with franny?
Please say there is another book coming soon.
I loved these characters, I enjoyed the story but it feels unfinished.
Too simple and too many untied ends.

4 stars
I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews before I read this book. I’ part of the minority, I enjoyed it (for the most part).
After being publicly rejected at 17 by his mate for not being able to shift, Finn is beaten by his abusive father, disowned, and cast out of his pack. He drives as far as he can before he nearly passes out. He gets to a hotel and keels over only to be found by another pack Alpha.
The Alpha calls his son, a doctor, to come and examine the poor young man. Lo and behold, Doctor Robbie is a new fated mate!
Finn becomes besties with Robbie’s younger brother and is accepted into the pack. There is quite a bit of minor drama surrounding Finn’s family but every issue is solved quickly.
There are stories of wolf shifter who don’t shift until they turn 18 and that they being power to their pack. When his old Alpha discovers this he tried, repeatedly, to drag Finn back to his pack.
There is a bit of on page child abuse (Finn at 17), reports of spousal abuse, and the killing of ‘bad wolves’ both in human and wolf form. There are also no detailed sexy times. Robert and Finn mate the night before Finn’s 18th birthday with the ‘permission’ from the pack Alpha.
I’ve read books with better storylines but I have also read ones with worse. This book was somewhere in the middle.
*****
POV… third person
Standalone or series… book 1 in series
Hangover… slight

Good read
Great idea for a story but could use some editing and restructuring. The main issue for me was that it was this huge deal that Finn did not shift when he was 12 but yet no one in this story were in their wolf form until just over halfway. If their wolves are such a big deal I would have expected to see them more. Also, and this wasn't a big deal for me but some may care, all the romance scenes are hinted at and then skipped over. There is no actual on page intimate scenes. I would like to know what was up with Fran at the end of the book and it wasn't mentioned if there was going to be a follow-up to this one. The story is very engaging and I might have to read more from this author.

interesting idea, failed execution
This book had some promise to it, the idea is interesting and there were some promising moments to it. However, most of the story is told via exposition and then retold multiple times which is a pain to read, after the second time, let alone the fourth. The plot moves by jumping from major plot point to major plot plot without anything really connecting it. As though the author wanted to jam an entire 3-4 book series into one book. Had they streamlined the plot to only dealing with one part of this story and taken the time to flesh out the characters and plot of it this would have been a mich better book than it was.

E Broom had best watch out for the editing police. There are sooooo many errors (inserting wrong name, spelling, tense errors) that it takes away from what is a quite pleasant story. An abused wolf forced out of his birth pack, finds a home and love, in a new pack.
If you can get passed the I-need-a-beta-reader-like-yesterday nonsense, and I usually can... but no patience for this nonsense today, you will probably rate it a five star. Because the originality and character interaction certainly warrant it.

April 2, 2023I really wanted to read this book, but I had to DNF it at 8%. This is told in third person but the persons point of view changes almost with each sentence. It was really hard to follow along. The synopsis sounded good and the book Started off fairly decently. But then there was an abrupt shift in whose point of view we were reading and it just didn’t make any sense. Hopefully this author gets a good editor because I think they have talent.

Good story but plot holes needed to be filled
There were a couple of plot holes dealing with Clairmont that were overlooked. Both times Finn was attacked at the castle, he was supposed to be somewhere around but only shows up after everything is over…
1. Guarding Finns bedroom door while Finn and Ezzy watched movies
2. In the kitchen with Laura when they returned from helping set up the fair

I really wanted to like this one but it was a miss for me. There were so many aspects of this story that could have been fleshed out to be very intriguing. Instead the author focused on inconsequential scenes, dialogue and a lot of pop culture references. Much of the dialogue is clunky and not very organic. The way everyone interacted with one another had an immature feeling to it. The two main MCs had zero chemistry. With all that and the plot holes, it just didn’t work for me.

Cute but needs better editing.
A lovely story with cute characters and a god premise. Could stand to have an editor go through it to fix some grammatical errors and misused words but still a pleasant read. I'd also suggest a tweak in the description as it claims Jacob comes after Finn but he frankly does not, at least not in the way Amos and Alpha Bishop do. 3/5 stars but easily a 4 or 4.5 with the corrected editing/quality check.

Cute with a few laughs
Despite the heavy material, being rejected and abused etc, there are a few laughs to be had. Finn, Robbie and Ezzy are all very sweet and kind characters. The bond between Finn and Robbie was very cute.
The claiming scenes are all fade to black. There's only kissing and mentions of intimacy

Excellent
Finn's story is heartbreaking. It tore me up to hear how he was treated but the ultimate betrayl from his father and pack turned out for the best. Robbie is perfect for him and the way he blooms in the Pullman pack is beautiful. This was a wonderful story and I would love more from this world!

Finding your happiness
When Finn was rejected and kicked out of his pack, he thought his life was over. But the he is found and adopted by the Pullman pack, the strongest pack in the land. This story is about finding your place and your family and home. It’s a good story and I am curious to know if there will be a sequel.

Great story, poor writing
Changes in verb tenses, incorrect word usage, poor and irregular punctuation. All things that take away from a really good story. I'm so tired of having to untangle sentences and incorrectly used words to be able to enjoy a good story. And where are all the good editors/beta readers when we need them?

This is a MM Shifter Romance
This was a decent read I enjoyed this couple and I their extended family . This book had some pretty dark themes such as domestic abuse and abuse of a minor . But despite that this book was full of fluff I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes this type of genre .

Entertaining
Well written in the style of a classic fairy tale - good vs. evil, with appropriate accents for both as the tale develops. Good character development within those same classic good/evil tropes, some predictable plot twists and the HEA ending every fairytale deserves. Includes a subtle turn in the last few pages which hint a potential sequel.

Good But also Confusing
Really good, I enjoyed it. Has great characters and storyline. The only problem is the switching of characters POV, there's no space, it just happens from one paragraph to the next, it was hard to keep track of sometimes.

Fun
I've just found E. Broom books starting with The Crazy Book Shop which I enjoyed Immensely. These days it's hard to find a book with no swearing and no very descriptive sex. I've finished this book and am now looking for another. Keep them coming please.

This story started out fairly good but as the storyline proceeded it became hard to comprehend what and why each character said and did as the storyline proceeded?!🤔😟

Disappointing
I could see loving this, but the errors are SO bad throughout the entire book, it constantly took me out of the story. It names an editor. I would be ashamed.

fluff
Not bad, but not much challenge or angst or personality conflict that leads to a tense buildup and satisfying conclusion. Bad things happen, then good things happen, the end.
