Introduction
Pure Magnetism is the 9th installment in the "Pure Dark Ones" series and this story is about the infamous Goya, whom we got introduced to in book 8. He is the powerful alpha character that is such a mystery and we did get some of his story in the previous book. I do recommend reading at least this series in order, to get the full comprehension of the world building. But at least read the previous book before reading this one. I truly had such a blast with this book, seeing Goya get his book and find a mate was so worth the wait. I adored his character and it was such a joy to see him in his prime in this one even if it was a bit different than I expected it to be.
The Main Protagonists
Goya
-Tiger Shifter
-Royalty
-Immortal being
-Alpha Male
Maddie: (Heroine's Name)
-Single Parent of a teenage son
-Workaholic
-Divorced
Summary
Our tale begins when Goya is injured and is forced into the human form and not his animal form. He manages somehow to find a construction job and a cash only paid one. Then we have our heroine who lives close by to his work job, and they have an instant connection, and she convinces him to come to her home so that she can feed him. He isn't the most presentable and through a set of events with the help of Maddie and her son, they show him the ropes of being human and the daily rituals of hygiene. There is an instant connection between Goya and Maddie, he knows that they are mates, but with there being a language barrier, it takes a while for a deeper connection to form but Maddie will have to be the one to fight for the man and beast she loves...
My Outlook
There was something so different about this installment. I truly had a fun time with this one. And while it didn't quite meet up to my expectations, I had such a wonderful time with it. It was so satisfying seeing Goya get his story. I found the language barrier aspect to the relationship to be quite interesting. It definitely added some conflict to their relationship as they have to learn each other. Its a good thing Maddie is a talker haha but in some ways she is able to sense what he is communicating even at the very beginning. We do have some groveling aspects that is for the heroine to do. This was actually one of my favorite aspects to the story though. The way that she hurts him (which I won't reveal) but she does and she needs to earn back his trust and I actually enjoyed seeing a heroine have to be the one to work in the relationship. And man that ending, while I wish there was an epilogue with them together, I have a feeling we will see more of them in future books. Definitely eager to see what the author has planned for the rest of the books in the series as I can sense its just beginning....

Pure Magnetism was a magical romance that was entrancing in its small moments, captivates the reader from the beginning, and portrays the value of trust in a beautifully woven romance!
