This whole journey so far to find mates has felt completely pre-ordained. Caden being in my life, choosing to stay with Brett's family, accidentally marrying Felix on the beach while I was drunk and then accidentally claiming his twin brother that I thought was in fact Felix. It shouldn't surprise me to realize I've been connected to Felix much longer than I originally realized, but it stuns me to know that these guys were literally made for me. With the Northeast Territory behind us and the Desert Hills Territory upon us, I'm looking forward to the Connector Convention to spend some time with my guys, and if I manage to get them on stage for a wet t-shirt contest, then we all win, right? There's people everywhere at this convention, and it seems like there's someone here I'm supposed to find, even if they keep evading me. Another person who is not evading me is Donny, who keeps showing up in my life. This time, though he might end up saving it.
This is the third book in the territory walk series, and is an extension of the Hemlock Academy series. Best if you read the other two books in the series before reading this one, because you'll be crazy confused if you don't. This is a slow-building reverse harem for 18+
Kelsey Soliz is a homeschooling mama of four and army wife, and when she's not drinking copious amounts of tea or playing bassoon, she is dreaming up all kinds of romance story scapes or reading them like a maniac.
I am in love with Kelsey Soliz which by now is not a surprise 😅
The Hemlock Academy Series were the best and I really wanted to read the Territory Walk series so I'm glad I finally got around to reading them.
I am in love with the subtle crossover and Bennett of course. The first book was a little flat for me but then it picked up thankfully and I was fully in love with the series by the end of the last book 💖
The twin matings were my favourite. And the Rosie/Sasha drama? I wasn't even surprised. When Rosie talked about her introducing Rory to 2 brothers, I was like they have to be Felix and Beau and was so looking forward to Rosie finding out that she's already met them but then the twist of Sasha came up and I was like why didn't I see that coming? 😂
The plot was perfect and I loved the character developments. Rory is such a goofy and fun person and her mates are amazing. The scenes are obviously hot af 🔥I love their moments together.
The Bennett drama went on for too long. So close yet so far 🦋 I was frustrated. And I absolutely hated the Christine plot but then got to know the while story and now I want to see the group develop as a family.
Hopefully the next book comes out soon 💙

I was already losing interest by the end of book 2, thought to try this one cause well time on my hands and KU. I really didn't like Caden from the get go but having read about quite a few anti hero's I tried to give him the benefit of doubt. It's great that the author listened to the readers and tried to fix Caden and give him more heart.... But it became a Caden show. Wanted to shake Rory and remind her she had other mates.
It just got boring real quick with Caden this Caden that. Maybe if his super power was having a chocolate "tiger" I'd understand this obsession Rory had with this man child.
This is series is the poor relation to Hemlock. I'm shocked the editing wasn't sorted out for this roll out. What makes it worse is the rudimentary characters. They are all over 21 acting like they are 16, it was tedious. When I started skipping (not skimming) pages from the get go I knew I was done with this series.
The world build is lacking.... Again. This is apparently set on earth. Rory has to be the poster child for how not to be safe. It's beyond shocking that she was "nicely" kidnapped only once. The mind boggles ...
I ship Bennett and Donny so hard. I bloody love these books. I love this author. I'm obsessed with this world building and these characters. I immediately pre order everything Kelsey Soliz writes like a crazed fan girl staring at BTS concert tickets. Book 3 continues Rory's search for her fated mates and their shenanigans while trying to fall in love and build a family. One of my favorite things about Kelsey Soliz books are the relationships between the male characters and how they build mature adult friendships with strangers who share no common interests but instead it's all situational.
The back and forth, the close encounters that lead to nothing were too much. The only reason I chose to read this series was to see Bennett get his HEA and to see Gabriella again and he wasn’t even involved until this book and it was frustrating and infuriating when he was. I literally stopped reading at a point because I was so annoyed. It finally happens and it’s just like at the end of Hemlock but why make us wait until the end of the 3rd book. It wasn’t fun. It wasn’t nice. The whole Caden/Christine/baby of it all also is problematic in many ways and I hope they address it.
OMG another emotional read that had me crying one minute and laughing out loud the next. This book had me hooked from the get go and I’m finding that I really love the series. I love the characters and I really like getting to know the new members in each book and falling in love with them as I read. And that ending! Another cliffhanger that has me already looking forward to the next book. I would highly recommend giving this book a read.
In this book we see the relationships in the group deepen and enrich. There are more POV changes which I think help that along and I really enjoy. Rory and her mates are leaving how to be a family and it's really well written and lovely to see.
Those poor tomatoes. Wrecked before they even got to live….. Anyways, Rory, as always, cracked me up with her antics. The story was interesting as well. Glad we’re getting some group spice. That and we FINALLY get some more Bennett, sweet broken boy. 4.5/5. Can’t wait for the next and to see more of our oddball Donny 😌.
Oh Lord, she did it again! This was a great continuation of the story and boy did it turn up the heat! Not only is the storyline insanely good, it's a captivating read. Be prepared for a little heartbreak, a few tears, some laughs...soooo good
You guys have no idea how happy I am that you finally told this story. I felt so bad for Gabriella's brother then he had to go away and be alone and didn't have any 1 and now he's got a mate so I'm super happy about that.
I really like this author. I find the dialogue in her books to be witty, sex positive, supportive, and hilarious. Unfortunately, there was one section in this book that really bothered me. When the group goes to a connector event, a lot of the time the connectors refer to their mates in really objectifying ways. I don't care what gender/non-gender someone is objectifying is NOT okay.
The push and pull, twists and turns, angst, mystery, surprises and excitement within this book will have you on the edge of your seat. There’s more pieces of the jigsaw fitting together and I love finding out more about these characters as they progress through their journey and territory.
My heart goes out to Rory...she definitely sees the world through a lens that more people should have. Definitely can’t wait to see what happens next for her and her mates. Told from all POV.
