Ah, the closing chapter of the True Mates series.  I’m torn; I want more, dammit!  And I absolutely loved how things wrapped up.  Yes, they wrapped up.  No loose ends, no strings dangling for any of the characters we’ve come to know and love… Okay fine.  There’s a series based on Meredith’s three brothers that’s coming out, Lone Wolf Defenders.  But for all the True Mates folks, it’s smooth sailing.

That’s not to say that things don’t get pretty stirred up in Tempted.  With witches, warlocks, Lycans and even a dragon – YES – things are definitely in high gear.  With everything ramped up to eleven, how do Meredith and warlock Daric manage to get together?  Well just fine, thank you.

The San Francisco Alpha and the New York City witch get their story! And while I loved not only the change in scenery (a lot of the story takes place in San Fran) but the new characters (Liam’s family is amazing, and I’d like to get to know more about his mom), there was one thing that struck an off note for me.

As a fan of Montgomery’s “True Mates” series, I couldn’t wait to see how Alpha leaders Grant and Frankie would get together. And while this has the same blend of charm, humor, suspense and steam, I wasn’t quite as pulled in as I usually am. Maybe the so-so editing, perhaps the feeling like these two were almost pushed together to make an Alpha match.

Not to say that the story wasn’t absolutely enjoyable – from start to finish Montgomery manages to keep her main story in focus while still hinting at things to come for other characters – it’s just that Grant doesn’t do it for me. Perhaps because he’s the boss man, and has been the guy that everyone has to go to in earlier (and later – ahem I started the series with a later story) books? Maybe.

I absolutely adore her side characters, especially Frankie’s family (Nonna FTW!) There’s no doubt I’ll be reading this book again (and probably again…and again…) along with the rest of this series. But this book gets a slight bump-down because while I was pulled in, I wasn’t all-in. As Frankie might say, Capiche?

Loved the second book of the True Mates series! I’d been dying to know how Cady and Nick would get together from book one…okay fine. As I’d read Book 5 first, I’d been wondering how Nick and Cady got together then too. The great twists and turns of the story feel ingrained in the overall mythology, rather than tacked on  just to add some jazz hands, as some series are wont to do (you know who you are.)

As this series expands – nothing more about that, because spoilers sweetie – I can’t wait to see how things go. And, of course, how everything ties in with one of my favorites PA’s, Book 5’s Taming the Beast!

Definitely recommended. Oh, and you can absolutely read this as a stand-alone. But maybe start with book one first. You’ll thank me later.
