Not for me
I probably would have given the rest of the series a better go but I really disliked Tea. How can you say you want to be a nurse but have never dressed a wounded anything? Lacking the absolutely most basic skills of being a nurse but apparently very intelligent??? I'm really not sure about this scholarship thing.
She called Jessie shallow because he was handsome, not because he said or did anything. Yet was quick to change her mind when found out about his college major and that he had money. Pray tell who is shallow here?
If anything I'd say the heroine is so stubborn its to the point of being obtuse. If she can't retain any spelt out information about being a werewolf and keeps acting like she didn't know ..... I seriously question whomever gave her that scholarship. If you have half a brain and knew your life was irrevocably changed, one would soak up that info faster than Spongebob.
3 stars because it is a different concept about werewolves.

Quickish Review 3.5 Stars
Overall, I liked the mythology this is working with because it’s not just insta-love shifter romance. The wolf is separate from the human, the shifts aren’t easy, and these characters are young and not necessarily rich and carefree. There’s not a lot of worldbuilding but enough to give this shifter series a twist.
There’s four couples in this and my fave is probably Del and Rocco, third book, best character development. Least fave is Zed and June, because it tried to give her a darker backstory to explain her reluctance but didn’t execute it, so in the end I knew little about her and didn’t care for her at all. Too much telling and not enough showing, basically.
Anyway, I enjoyed enough that I want to see what happens with the other members of the pack, so onto the next volume.

Was it cheesy? Yes
Was it funny? Sometimes
Was it good? Absolutely not
Did I still enjoy reading it? Well I finished it so I guess so.
I could write an essay on all the things I didn't like, that were poorly executed, that forced the story along, that took the option of love away from the characters (I mean seriously, every this forced, they'll spend their lives alone and die without each other, etc. there's not really an option other than for them to get together whether they like it or not) but I'm not going to go into details about it.
It's an interesting take on mate bonds and my version of trash tv. I don't mind indulging every once in a while.

July 17, 2024A cute read, sure, but I’m on chapter 27 of the first book and… where are the true feelings? Where are the tears? The frustration? The anger at being plucked from your life to become a wolf’s mate? Where’s… anything besides her messing around with him and being stubborn? How’s she studying to become a nurse but hasn’t dressed a wound yet?
Even Ebony’s book is kind of the same and I’ve DNF’d it ten chapters in. Sigh.

Book 1
Tea is an 18 years old nursing student who works in a sandwich shop where she makes sandwiches to the customer'specifications. She has been raised to follow a budget strictly as money does not fall from trees.
Jess is a young werewolf who studies to become a computer engineer and is currently in search of his human mate.
One night, Jess and his pack are in the neighboring town and enter the sandwich shop. As they order, Jess comes upon Tea and, just the sight of her, cries mate as his eyes turn red and he starts to shift into a werewolf right in the shop.
Tea is frightened and tries to run away but is captured by the pack, abducted and taken to Jess's house in the neighboring village.
Book 2
Ebbony is a 19 years old nursing student who spends her time studying and loves the town's sandwich shop. One night, she goes there to ea and meet with her former roommate and friend, Tea who now resides in another town and is mated to Jesse , a warewolf. While she is there,
Ford comes in and his eyes turn red as he shifts into his animal form and has to be restrained by the rest of the pack members. In the meantime, with all the attention that this is getting, only one solution is left and Tea particpates in the abduction of her friend.
Fortunately, things go faster with Ford than Jessee.
Book 3
Del is a University Music Graduate who just got fired from her job as " Hall room Monitor of the Girls University Dorm" and, who has also been kicked out of her place, is living in her car unless she finds a new job and a new place to live asap. Currently, she has just arrived at Ebony 's Bbq party where she plans to eat free food and make herself as unknown as possible o the rest of the crowd there. Fat Chance.
Rocco, usually a easy going funny werewolf, has just been through a major loss and is sitting quietly at a table in Ford's backyard. Currently a history teacher at the local High School, his brother recently got rejected by his mate resulting in him going bonkers and posing a threat to his pack and being taken to the forest for "disposal" never to be seen by the rest of the werewolves and causing his parents a tremendous amount of grief that Rocco is left to deal with for himself and his parents.
At the sight of Dell, his eyes turn red, the shifting starts and he utters one word "Mate" .
The rest of the pack knows the drill but are still surprised when they see Del escape the custody of her friends Tea and Ebony and rush to Rocco's side to try to alleviate the suffering Rocco is going through.
This is Del's ancd Rocco's story and it is worth reading
Book 4
June is a video making world traveller who just got back to the Country to attend her sister's wedding. Having commitment issues as well as male trust issues, she is not happy that her sister went and got married and wastes no time in telling her. However, two things happen: 1) her sister Del is no longer a push over and 2), she is literally caught off guard when a certain male goes all warewolf on her and stares at her with glowing red eyes. The kicker is when he looks at her and calls her "Mate". It doesn't take anymore than that to have her jump into her truck and hightale it out of there .
Zed, usually a grumpy werewolf, has just been doing his job and. being a chef, has cooked up a feast for the entire pack on this special occasion. The last things he expects is to a) meet his mate and b) end up chasing after her when she flees the party like if a mad dog was after her. In his case, the kicker is that the worldly chase will last close to one year.
At the end of this period, June, who hasn't missed the fact that a warewolf has been chasing her in her worldly travels, calls it quits and returns to the small town, at Zed's house and the adventure begins.
This is June's and Zed's story and it is worth reading with it's powerful message..
I discovered this author not so long ago through books she wrote and sort of fell under her spell. She has a special way to creating stories about the paranormal with the main characters engaging in dialogs with a funny attitude under the worst circumstances and using sass and witt that made this reader laugh at certain moments during my reading this story, while also keying up my interest in the plot as well as reactions from all the characters the author uses in her story.
The series turned into a page turner that I highly recommend with a rating of 5 Stars. If I could give it ten stars, I would.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
When I say I devoured this book, I mean it — I read the entire first book in a single day and didn’t finish until 2 a.m. My husband was not impressed to see me still glued to my Kindle 😅. But honestly, it was worth every minute because I just couldn’t put it down.
I’ve never read a werewolf book quite like this one. The twist on the typical werewolf romance is so refreshing and unique, and I think that’s a big part of why I loved it so much. It’s easily one of my favorite reads.
And just wait until the climaxes…😉 I won’t spoil a thing, but trust me — you’re in for a treat. You won’t be disappointed.
I made this review a week after I read these 4 books, I’m already on the 6th book in the other set so I can’t give too many details like I’d want! So no spoilers here lol! But get this book immediately you won’t be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this set of stories, and the cliffhanger at the end makes me want to read the next one for sure. There's just something about fated mate stories where one of the parties has no idea what's going on that makes them so much more exciting for me. I love a good "wolf/human (What? This can't be real!!!), chase, prove himself, save her and claim her" story, and this provided that formula well. I agree that June and Zed's story wasn't as feeling-provoking as the rest, but I totally enjoyed these stories as a group.
I'm headed out to start the next set of books.

Overall, I appreciated how understanding and respectful the wolves were all things considered. They knew going in that this would be hard for the women. I thought it was interesting that the wolves are separate completely from the humans. I thought it was cute that the women fall for the wolves first (mostly) before the men. Some of them were just adorable. I wanted more character development across the board.

decent
After reading the first story in this box set, I was a little concerned that the author had basically written herself into a corner and had to follow the exact same formula with the rest of the books. But she added enough twists and different personalities that I did enjoy the other three stories and will probably go on to the next set. Definitely not for young readers,1his is spicy

finally something different
This was different to what I was expecting to be honest. I thought oh here we go, your typical werewolf mate stories but nuh uh not even close.
This 4 part story was refreshing. I really enjoyed this. Give it a read because I ain’t dropping any hints about what happens 😜

Feel good, complex series
This author knows well that sex can be amazing, but relationships are complex. I love watching these couples become true couples.
And the gradual world building(!?!) Each book opens up more of the community and I truly love that.
One of my favourite series.

I can't help falling in MATE!
Was happy that this series popped up. I got mired down by sickness but the ever patient Zed just sat down and waited three weeks for to get better. He didn't get angry or wander away. When I was able to come back he was there. Gotta love a smoking hot Sigma!

Binge Worthy
As always, Lola Glass has created characters that have you wanting to read on and on. Funny, sassy, strong women. Drool worthy males. These stories have you wanting more, and I am really sad that I have finished the 4 books. I can’t wait to find out about the inmates male and females stories. I absolutely love the worlds Lola has created.

Love these
I couldnt remember what these were called, but wanted to reread them. Just by chance, I came across the boxset. I am songlad I did. I like that these are different. It is a totally different way to do the fated mates thing. I read a lot of shifter books, but this one sticks with you because it is different.

Nope
So these books are about trashy women wanting a man to take care of them.I read 3 of the books so I would be fair in my review.The men are werewolve/virgins that saved money for their mates and that is why the women stay with them,for the money.So don’t waste your time reading these like I did.The author has other books I’ve read that are really good,just not these.

I seriously loved this book! I read the whole thing in less than 24 hrs the stories kept me pulled in that much. The characters are all very well developed and I grew attached to them all. I love how the stories all intertwine with each other and throughout the rest of the stories we see the other couples.

Another Binge Fest
Although all 4 books are about finding your mate they tell the tales in different ways. Held me engaged right the way through. So glad there's more to come! Thoroughly recommend

As this is four in one book you are really able to get invested in the group of people and each couple each book is about. I would definitely recommend this read

So much fun
This series was so much fun to read. I love that the characters have depth without getting into too much detail that it creates anxiety. Every story is a fun read with characters you love. Lola Glass is a master at this.

Loved the series
I really liked how the characters had to work through their fears and vulnerability to find love. There wasn't long winded drama or obnoxious sex scenes which I also liked. Great read and now looking for more Lola Glass.

If Werewolves were real…
I hope they are like Lola Glass’s version. Each story is not cookie cutter but well thought out. These characters and stories show what real love is.

Paranormal romance fluff. Mostly romance fluff... but enjoyable fluff.

This author never disappoints! I tore through the first four novellas in just two days (sleep came second), and I honestly couldn’t tell you which couple I loved the most. Each one had its ups and downs, made me laugh out loud, and even brought a few tears. In short, it’s a 5-star read that warms your heart and leaves you smiling.
