This was a great 5th book! I had no idea how we were going to continue now that the triplets were settled and this was great way to do that! Finally we have a main story taking place in Shifter Hollow with Richard. I really enjoyed Lola's character, she was so sweet and tough. Loved the Hispanic culture that shined through the whole book. I'm normally not into age gaps but this was done very well! Can't wait to see what's next. )

📖 Bookish Moments: While this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I still had a great time with it. I really felt for Lola—her dad was way too controlling, and honestly? I kind of hated him.

This is a very good, well written, Shifter romance. Lola is sent by her father, the king of the wolves to Ever for protection. Richard and Marco the King have been friends for a long time. Lola likes the way Ever is run and hates the politics of her home Haven. She looks for ways to be helpful and make friends. She also loves playing her guitar and doing concerts making her father unhappy. Read how Lola and Richard become mates and handle all the problems this causes. Lots of surprises. )

It was cute! I loved that the characters had depth to them and I loved Lola’s love for music. The nesting scene was the best in the whole book, in my opinion. Spicy level is like a 2.75/5 ) One person found this helpful

With every book release I fall more in love with Ever and the more despondent I am that I can’t live there! Lol Richard is the dream Daddy-kind, thoughtful, & sexxxxxyyyyyy! Not only do I wish I was Lola but I also wish Lola was my best friend-she is the coolest, kindest, bad assiest, rocker chic around. The tension between these two-whoa baby, it took everything in me not to skip pages ahead to find out what happens & let me tell you, I’ll never look at paperwork the same way again 😮💨 I...
