MM Romance
Paranormal Forced Proximity
2 of 7 in an ongoing series (ties into book 1)
4 Stars ⭐️
This one was even better than the first book. This had a seamless transition too as it just took off from the place the last one ended. The last book had an abrupt ending but there were so many Ian & Nate cameos in this one that it made up for it.
Like the last one, the single POV worked for me. This time it was in the snarky shaman’s POV as he’s kept prisoner in the Armitage’s basement. The shaman put a love spell on the leader of the pack, Matthew, but fucked it up a bit and they need to be next to one another or they get sick.

Look, the writing is fine. There's even plot and smut (but I was unable to get into it because 75% of the book, the LI is being sexually assaulted, and by the end I dislike the MC and his LI).
It's the MC I strongly dislike. And it's in first person, so I could not escape him. I read through for his redemption, but there was none. With the way Matthew treats Ian, he and Arik might deserve each other. Might, because Arik is a literal predator and I think even Matthew deserves better.
Jesus I have never seen such a godawful manipulative scumbag MC. Throw the whole man away.
MCs can be assholes, but they gotta have something redeeming. And it's preferable that they grow, or at least grow to admit that they're pieces of shit. Yes, Arik sometimes admits that he's an asshole, but he always justifies it. That, I think, is what makes him irredeemable.

Unlike everyone else, I didnt like this one as much. Im glad Arik got his happy ending but I feel like everyone spent a lot of time plotting. Still a fun book with cute bobcats and warlocks. I like that the books are all connected and the story continuous however Id like to see just a little bit of the honeymoon phase.
Ps. Also i would have loved to have gotten a scene of Arik in his animal form just relaxing in the sun all stretched out!

Este me gustó más que el primero, tiene un mejor desarrollo de la relación. También tenemos drama, otra especie de enemies to lovers, hombres lobos, magia y también una historia triste de uno de los protagonistas. Amé demasiado el final de este libro, los últimos capítulos tienen una frases que derritieron mi corazón y me hubiera encantado tener 10 capítulos más jajaja
Arik tiene una energía caótica que amo y Matthew es dulce. Muy buena combinación.
Realmente me divertí con esto y estaré revisando algún otro libro del autor
