out of all the books from Macy Blake I have read recently, the "Magical Mates" series is my favorite. I don't think that you have to read every single book in order to really enjoy this series, i would say the "Chosen One" series will get you enough background for this series. But if you do need all the background then you have a ways to go before you can read these books haha.
I loved how considerate Brooks was with Toby and how they communicated their needs and what made them uncomfortable as well as what they were looking for. Communication my friends is everything in books like this, we don't need stupid miscommunication ruining a perfectly good romance!
I really hope that Ollies book comes soon, I know its not the next one, but hopefully book 4...? Ollie is slowly becoming a star in these books and the more i read of him the more i want him to find his mate or mates depending on what the author has planned.

Sweet fated mates story. I really enjoy these characters, even if there are a lot of them! There’s some danger but no peril.

It was good, I like the compound, the pack, Toby's friendship with Ollie and Jeremy.
But it was also lacking a little something for me. I don't know if it was because Brooks and Toby had similar voices that made it a little difficult to distinguish them at times, or if their connection just wasn't that strong for me.
Toby is a great character and I enjoyed seeing him becoming a part of the Smith pack, but other than that, nothing much really happens. Yes, stuff goes down, but nothing also really changes.

I have mixed feelings.
On one hand, I didn't really care about the MCs romance nor the plot. And I was kinda bothered by the slowness and the lack of sexy times.
On the other hand, I LOVED the secondary/third characters which are basically the Smith pack. And paradoxically I also liked the MCs taking time to know each other, having full consent and the sex talks (and that not everyone loves the sex same in sex and that's ok).
