Unwanted.

Dismissed.

Cast away by their mate, the renounced are directed to attend university together by the Pack Council to salvage what’s left of their shattered lives. The objective? Reform, impress, or get the hell out.

Rejected Mates seems to be a hot new trend and I am here for it. However I do have to say that I love love this take on it. While most of the rejected mate finding new love, fate be damned, this story shows what it would be like if you worked to help fate instead of just shunning it and I adore it.

Plot Line: Book 1 in this series follows Kinsey and Jonah on there journey to bonding. Forced to deal with judgement from someone who his suppose to be her perfect match, but wont open his eyes to see what she knows this story focus on both sides of the story. There also seems to be and overall plot developing but it remains to be seen if it will take hold in book 2.

World Building: This book sets up what appears to be a wolf shifter world. There is no mention of cities and things outside of pack boundaries, but it appears to be a full shifter planted because the feral lives unchecked outside of the boundaries. We are introduced to several packs, and while we only focus on Lunar here you do get a feel for the next characters in future books.

Relationship Building: This is one of the best relationship buildings that I’ve read in a while within this theme. It can be hard to reconcile rejection against Fate for readers and she does a fantastic job of including real like situations in to a paranormal world. Not only is the romantic relationship between the MCs amazing, but the friendship and student teacher relationships are also very well done.

Character building: This is one of the things that stands out in this book. You get a wonderful look at the FMC that unfolds as the story unfolds. Now a lot of the time I like to know the background before hand, however since the booked focuses on the rejection and overcoming it I love the way this was done. You get to grow with the character and follow the steps they go through while getting little tid bits and it works really well in this type of situation.

All in all this was a book that I was hesitant to read but am very glad I did. If you love the reject mates theme, this is definitely one you want to take a look at it. It’s stands out, its different, the steam will make you sweat and you’ll want to come back to this book time and time again,

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. M. Moore is a USA Today Bestselling author of Contemporary and Paranormal Romance. She’s drawn to write within the teen and college-aged years where her characters get knocked on their asses, torn inside out, and put back together again by their first loves. Whether it’s in a fantastical setting where human guards protect the creatures of the night or a realistic high school backdrop where social cliques rule the halls, the emotions are the same. Dark. Twisty. Angsty. Raw.

When Erin’s not writing, you can find her dreaming up vacations for her family, watching murder mystery shows, or dancing in her kitchen while she pretends to cook.
