Under His Control by Kiki Burrelli

Loved this story! I'm so glad I gave this author a try:-)
May/December stories are a favorite trope of mine, especially ones where the younger MC is more dominant than the older one, so this book was right up my alley. Throw in some shifters and destined mates and I couldn't be happier!
This book is very well-written, both with regards to character development and the different plots in the book. The pacing and dialogue are excellent and I really liked the secondary characters and what they brought to the overall world of the book.
Garth is not likeable at all, on the surface, and it's always a treat to have a seeming grouch meet that special someone that makes them feel loved and brings out their finer qualities. Cassius was able to do that for Garth, in an amazing way. Garth is so vulnerable, and Cassius is the only one who seems to get that. Loved that aspect of their story!
Garth and Cassius have great chemistry together, but at the same time it is also very much a love story! There's a lot more to the connection between Garth and Cassius than just "mate-driven" lust and sexual compatibility. Don't get me wrong, the steamier scenes are quite satisfactory in their own right ;-)
I'll have to re-read this one! Definitely a keeper :-)
