Joy longs to be a true part of the supe community. Tate has spent centuries believing he’d never find his mates. Quill is determined to bring his mates together.
Joy
I'd spent years being the adopted human member of the Mistvale clan. While I loved my supernatural family, I'd long wished I could be a true part of it.
When a wolf shifter found me on my camping trip and claimed to be my mate, my wish was fulfilled. But that wasn't all.
Quill
When a strange vision told me to head to Mistvale to find my mates, I didn't hesitate. Every shifter dreams of the day they would find their mate, and I wasn't about to let mine go.
It didn't take long to convince Joy to come with me to look for our other mate, but when we found him, we realized a mate bond wasn't all that a relationship required.
Tate
When I was in my twenties, my mate bond was broken by someone I'd trusted with my life. After the betrayal, I spent decades looking for a cure before resigning myself to being alone forever.
When a wolf shifter and a human showed up at my cabin claiming to be my mates, I didn't want to believe them. I didn't want to hope, but they wouldn't let me hide, and they wouldn't leave me alone.
Bonds, a 55k MMM romance, features a human who adores all things supernatural, a buff wolf shifter who loves pretty clothes, and a blind, asexual werewolf who very much wants to be loved.
Bonds is the third book in the Misfits of Mistvale series, but it can be read as a standalone, though this series chronologically falls after the Mages of Ravenshire series. A complete reading order can be found on the author's website.
Look out for:
Joy is a gentle giant, Quill looks gorgeous in silk and lace, Tate is a smol cinnamon-bun, Joy and Quill protec Tate, even though Tate is a big bad werewolf, Tate loves it tho, Mistvale clan shenanigans, Cam has yet another announcement, Quill's friends are a blast, Tate is ace and also kinda like Daredevil, the kids love him, Joy has a secret alter ego, lots of love and squishy feels, cuddle piles, wolves creating chaos, happily ever after.

The good
+ The first meeting between Joy and Quill
+ Joy's career and Quill fanboying over it
+ Their quest to find the third mate
+ Quill's aesthetic
+ Them winning Tate's trust
+ Tate's bravery
+ How they described surroundings to Tate with endless patience
+ How they described clothes and smiles to Tate so he could have an even better experience
+ Their inclusion in the Mistvale family
+ Wolf playtime
The neutral
o There was a little bit too much 'lecturing' about Tate's asexuality. Leaving out the conversation with Cassian would have been sufficient
o The number of side characters is through the roof and it's impossible to keep track of everybody
The bad
- This book had many character inconsistencies. Quill said he hated shopping, and later said he loved it. Tate said he hated reading about sex scenes, then later loved having Joy's books read to him (which were described as steamy). Tate lived as a hermit most of his life, yet managed to save some money (how is anyone's guess) for a phone and a contract
- Joy outed Tate to Cassian. Then he said it was "almost as bad" as outing someone against their will. There was nothing almost about it, and Joy got away with it way too easily
As always with this author, the relationship was very sweet. I liked the characters and the way they fit together. Unfortunately, compared to the other two amazing books in this series, this one fell a little flat. It just wasn't as strong as the others. I'd still recommend the series as a whole.

~4.5 Stars ⭐
A MMM Paranormal romance with a human, wolf shifter, werewolf! I find that cool 😄. A low angst, hurt/comfort (mostly comfort!) story.
I found this as a rec on FB MM group having a wolf with disability & I'm glad. I read this out of order in series tho, but didn't skip/skim much despite it.
Joy is a human who lives among supes, so friendly, gotta love seeing fellow Indians & Hindi user here 😁. He's secretly a writer!
Quill loves to style up & fem clothes. He's gorgeous, a wolf shifter. Q's a fan of J's books, loved the fanboying 🤭.
Tate is a recluse, a tiny lumberjack, touch & love starved 😭. He's a werewolf, & blind. T also realises his asexuality here, a major subplot.
A Broken Bond, Fated mates, Firsts... It's sweet to see Q find J then them finding T! How their personalities match, mix, clash. Love me 3 book lovers <3 There were a few parts when I thought issues resolved too quickly/easily tho 🤧! There are a lot of side characters, which I'd known as I did check "Cam's treasure" 1st lol (Cam+Micah are so cute).
It's insta as fated mates, but still slowburn as they get to know eachother. While I understood that J+Q knew that T needed their focus for his insecurities, BUT I had wanted to see J+Q's off page dates! I felt like I needed more of these 2's 1-on-1 interactions. We got plenty of others & 3some time specifically. Pretty cute story tho, & it's cool to see both a wolf shifter & werewolf in same book!

This entire book felt like a long lecture of different sexualities. In between those lessons was boring mundane stuff.
Also what money did Tate save up to buy phone and data service?

3.5* You really have to have read books in this series to know who is who because there are tons of people coming in and out.
I always wanted to read Joy's story but for some reason I didn't feel that he had a starring role here. Maybe none of them did? Anyway, Joy is out camping when he's approached by a wolf who declares he's his mate and that they have another mate. They go looking and find Tate who is a werewolf (vs born) and is blind which is rare. Seems his father had him turned as a child hoping it would cure his blindness and then when his mother died his dad went crazy and snapped Tate's mating bond (but only with Joy) to save him ever feeling as bad as he did.
Most of this (and it moves pretty quickly) is Tate adjusting to people and mates after having lived in the woods alone for 10 years and then he turns out to be asexual which he never knew was a thing. He doesn't want to have sex but enjoys listening and being with them when they do. Sometimes it felt a bit teachy as Joy explains what asexual is and then Cassian who also identifies as asexual tries to explain it. But on the other hand, Tate had no idea that was a thing so I suppose it made sense. Also Quill is a big guy who wears more feminine clothes (and is a bit self-conscious) but it's not really explored much beyond the description of a few outfits.
The big reveal is that teens Cam and Micah are mates and have 2 or 3 more mates out there. I suppose that will be a big story eventually and Cam is trans.
I do like that this author includes lot of orientations, but I somehow felt this was quite surface level and I never really connected with them. I also kept expecting crazy father to crop up and try and do something evil but it was just their lives and introducing more characters as Quill's roommates also move to Mistvale.

I had the chance to bera read this and found it to be full of the trademark sweetness I'm used to in a Stella Rainbow book.
Instalove because of mate bonds, but nothing is taken for granted and the trio get to know each other.
I loved the ace rep and the fact that one the mcs has a disability. The way he navigated the world was interesting and it worked that magic didn't "fix" him

Eh.. It was... fine. Maybe like a 2.8. I don't know, I just didn't feel the chemistry between Quill, Joy and Tate. Still a decent read. Not terrible. No huge typos although there really weren't any subplots (I thought a big baddie would be responsible for Tate's disability, but nope, he was born with it).

Three times the fun
Joy went out for camping and for a break. Quill only knew that one of his mates was on this trail. After they get sorted, they go looking for Tate, the last of their triad.

A human, a werewolf, and a wolf shifter
This is a sweet story but somehow felt a little lacking to me. I was happy to finally see Jai’s brother Joy get his own book though. And Tate is a sweetheart. Quill is perfect for both of them. Mistvale is a giant found family and it just keeps getting bigger. I just felt like something was missing from this one.

**********Contains Spoilers**********
I thoroughly enjoyed another addition to the Misfits of Mistvale Series. This book is an insta-love story and was filled with utter sweetness and little to no angst that I expect from a Stella Rainbow book. I thought that Joy, Quill and Tate were cute together. I liked how their relationship progressed and that they took things a bit slower and got to know each other a bit before claiming each other. I loved how Joy and Quill didn’t care that Tate was asexual, and made sure that he was comfortable with anything they did s*xually. Fate sure knew what they were doing by matching them all together. I also loved how Tate and Joy accepted Quill’s fashion sense, and really loved when he wore a skirt. He’ll definitely be wearing more in the future.
I loved getting introduced to Tate, since he was blind and a werewolf, which is a new supe introduction for this world. He has a form of magic, and his other senses are heightened, he can feel colours and see auras. All three of them are such loveable sweethearts. I loved seeing more of the Mistvale Clan. I still find Cam and Micah to be extremely cute and love being mischievous. I’m really looking forward to reading their book when it’s released but they still have a lot more growing up to do until they’re ready to get their happily ever after. I’ve also already pre-ordered the next book in the Mistvale Universe, which features Quill’s friend Memphis, an Incubus and the mysterious Mistvale Librarian, a Griffin who has been hiding from Memphis. I’d definitely recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

'Misfits of Mistvale: Bonds' by Stella Rainbow
What an unusual and wonderful triad, and a great addition to this series! I haven't read all of this series yet, although I plan to, just sort of jumping around in here, picking them up in no particular order.
Really liked that this storyline had one of the three 'supes' (supernaturals) as asexual and blind...
(oh no, wait... it's not that I liked him being blind, of course not; it was just a facet of his character!)
...what was interesting was the unique way in how he 'saw' things, how he experienced and navigated around in the world that he lived in.
Loved that the other two of his found mates did everything they could to figure out how to fit him into their new family, loving him just the way he was, which really surprised him! It was pretty cool how the first two mates found each other, too...in the midst of a forest, dark of night but under a full moon.
Initially, there was some angst between them, as they each tried to figure out how they all fit together (or didn't) into this new dynamic, and how to 'fix' some things about each of them that they each felt were 'broken' (usually those feelings were instigated and perpetrated by outsiders and/or their birth families/pack).
So...
there's an amazing Japanese tradition called 'Kintsugi', the art of fixing broken pottery, where an artist takes the broken pieces, fitting them back together using a special tree-sap lacquer, dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Once completed, beautiful seams of gold shimmer in what were the cracks, giving a unique look to each repaired piece, making it stronger and more beautiful in the process.
That's them: stronger and more stable due to their fated-mate bonds.
I love that!
Two thumbs up! 👍👍

Joy has always felt like an outsider—an adopted human in a supernatural clan, yearning to truly belong. That wish begins to come true when Quill, a wolf shifter guided by a vision, finds her and claims her as his mate. Together, they set out to complete their triad and find the third piece of their bond. Tate, a centuries-old supe, has lived in solitude since his mate bond was shattered by betrayal. Hardened by heartbreak, he’s given up hope—until Joy and Quill arrive at his cabin, refusing to let him retreat into isolation. As the three navigate trust, trauma, and the complexities of connection, they discover that fate may spark a bond… but love is what makes it whole.
I loved this story with the mixture of a human who adores all things supernatural, a buff wolf shifter who loves pretty clothes, and a blind, asexual werewolf who very much wants to be loved. It was a story of belonging, resilience, and the healing that comes when soulmates refuse to give up on each other. The three men were perfect for each other and I loved the way that they were so respectful of Tate and his limits. Easy to read and understand. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Just love these for what they are, okay?
Are they perfect? No. Could they all use some serious editing? Yes. But are they super precious? Absolutely. Are they fluffy and full of sweet folx and sweeter HEAs? Also hard yes. Manage your expectations. Love them where they’re at, not where they could be.
The thing I love the most, though, is the way the author uses their books as a platform for understanding and celebrating different sexualities and genders and ways of expressing oneself. They’re all getting their forevers, they’re all healing and growing and thriving, and it’s beautiful.
This book was especially sweet and was blessedly zero angst/conflict. I appreciate that more as I get older and more hateful. Sometimes I just need a full-on OTT love bomb to fix my attitude.
4/5. A dose of cosy-happy and a world I’m still deeply invested in. It’s huge, so I’m working my way through it, and I’m glad so much had already been added because I don’t have to wait for the next one (so far, my day is coming). I love the love, y’all.

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous.
This was cute, but since the only character had some type of background was Joy, I didn't love the story. Here were some errors on editing too, like when Joy introduces his mates to his brother, but then a sentence reads they had been at the house before....so how could it be "nice to meet you" if they already met? The Cam announcements are becoming repetitive and excessive. It is similar to when the first and second books featured kidnapping. Tate is blind; wasn't Raphael able to help with that? I thought of Raph since his magic can fix things people are born with, or maybe I need to re-read book 1.
On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

It's such a light read that even traumatized events from the characters past does't bring emotional response.
Also too many characters. Not sure why books were devided into different series as we see all the same 'faces' starting from book 1 'Mages' series and up until now with each book adding +1 like a snowball.
And... is it only me who don't understand why Raphael didn't heal Tates blindness? Regular healers can't heal such conditions, but Raph is not regular. Sure, the book shows us that blind person is worth love etc, but it's fantasy and Tate wanted to see. The world, his mates and their smiles, to drive a car.. So why a powerful healer, who was able to heal cancer, a lethal heart desiese, a broken mating bond... can't help with it?

Rainbow does a great job of describing the ideal polyam relationship... I've been one for over 12 years now, so I speak from experience! Of course, our relationship doesn't have the advantage of Fated mates, but this polyam triad goes through much the same issue as in my own triad. The way races are intermingled (Joy's Indian), the idea of one of the larger stronger men preferring to dress in a more feminine way in spite of his muscles, and so many more of the Mistvale characters adding to the new union is beautiful and very sweet.

As the previous book had a touch of action, it was more exciting and everything. I thought this one would follow, but it didn't.
I liked the book, up to about 70% of it, after that I thought it was still, boring, more of the same. This story was more similar to the first book in the series, without villains, it was more drama regarding self-esteem problems, abuse from the father, fear of being abandoned, breaking the bond, etc. Despite this, as I said before, the book was good, but at a certain point it had nothing left to offer. Party in the pack. Cam announcement, in the pack. Kisses, hugs, kisses. Two having sex and one listening, rubbing his hands and masturbating. Meh

Party in the pack. Cam announcement, in the pack. Kisses, hugs, kisses. Two having sex and one listening, rubbing his hands and masturbating. Meh

Love a good poly relationship!
I was super excited for this one and it didn't dissapoint. I thought the beginning was a bit fast, but it fit well for the three characters and I loved, loved, loved how the three of them worked together so well. I love getting the updates on the other clan members and it's exciting to see the second generation starting to spread their wings a bit too!

Another instalment
Another sweet instalment to this series, I wouldn't say this was my favourite but it did have an interesting dynamic. It also provided clues for up coming couple's/books. If you have read any in this series this book will be another to add to your bow. Recommend

Bonds is the third book in the Misfits of Mistvale series by Stella Rainbow. This book is about Joy, Quill and Tate. I was waiting for Joy's book since reading his brothers book and it didn't dissapoint.
I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written.

sweet and brilliant
I loved that Joy got his mates and he gets to be immortal like Jai now. This book was just so great to read, it made me smile from the first page. I can’t wait to read what’s next for the supes of Mistvale :) x

More Mistvale
This was just a sweet, cute, and sappy as the other Mistvale books. I look forward to the other books and stories hinted at here.

Mmm cheesefest
Yeah my title pretty much summed it up fluffiness galore. I'm not the biggest fan of mmm but I've read every other book in the Mistvale universe so I gave it a go.

Honestly I cannot get enough of this series. So well written and with all kinds of shifters . And all kinds of LGBTQ IA storylines. Great series all round
An absolute must

After dropping out of college and moving to Mistvale, Jai's brother Joy finds out he has not just one, but two mates: Quill the big, strong wolf shifter who loves femme clothing, and Tate the blind werewolf who has lived alone in a cabin in the forest for years.
They have two main problems, both to do with Tate. First, his ability to form a mate bond with Joy was destroyed when he was a kid. Second, he's asexual (yes, another one!) and it's going to take a while for the guys to find ways to be together that includes and satisfies everyone.
