The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells

4.0

Annie's life hasn't been sunshine and rainbows but she's done the best to get by and learned coping skills to get her through. Her life is thrown for a loop when Justus, a wolf from the Last Pack, appears at her cabin and it becomes clear that he is her fated mate. Their initial mating isn't what either one of them expected and Justus walks away and leaves Annie to pick up the pieces.

This is my first book by Cate C Wells and although this is the fifth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. The author does a good job with the world-building and the although the story starts off a little slow and is very emotional as Annie has a lot of things to work through. Annie is such a strong woman and I loved reading about her becoming more confident in herself and realizing just what she is capable of. Justus also had a lot of growing up to do and once he realizes the true reasons for Annie's reactions, he really steps up in showing her just how serious he is about his feelings for her. I really enjoyed this second change shifter romance.

Thank you to Chaotic Creatives for the advanced readers copy.
