Determined Mate by Toni Griffin

3.0

In a lot of ways this book was just too short for the kind of trauma that Jason was dealing with. Sure he's drawn to Alex as his mate, but his reactions upon first meeting the bigger man were so strong the rest of the story fell a little flat for me as I didn't really get to see with Jason deal with those feelings. Alex was patient with him and was willing to stand by and wait. But, we knew time was passing because we were told time had passed. We didn't really get to experience Jason dealing with the trauma and choosing a different way.

This series is one of those shifter series that's like wafer cookie. It's dessert so you're expecting something sweet and that it will satisfy that sugar craving for you. But then it's such a thin wispy thing that while you got a little hit of what you wanted, you still were left wanting more.
