This book was so good I started a new collection category.
Great second part of the series. Crazy family dynamics but Elise and Patrick made me laugh too!! The end was wonderful and I can only imagine what this crazy pack will do next.
Omg! Julie Trettel has done it once again 😀 “Fighting Destiny” is the 2nd amazing novel from the Westin Pack series, but these do not have to be read in order. However, IMO, for the best reading pleasure, you should & I am so glad that I read book #1 first, “One True Mate” coz they are both fan-freaking-tastic 6 star must reads, IMHO 😉 … This author’s fresh new take on PNR shifters is da bomb & so awesomely unique, I want to live within the Westin Pack world! 😀 The characters are well-defined and I was so happy to see some of the recurring ones 😀 Wonderful descriptions and witty dialogue had me wanting to scream, laughing out loud at times, yet other times the emotional roller-coaster ride brought me to tears with moving scenes so real! From the beginning through to the end, I did not want to put this riveting book down whenever I had to! … I honestly do recommend this to adult fans of fiction and especially those who love contemporary romantic PNR like I do 😀

I really enjoyed this story. I think it had the right amount of steam as the first book had very little but then again steam isn’t everyones’ cup of tea. I loved the connection between Elise and Patrick once Elise finally stopped fighting their mating. Elise and Patrick scented each other before Patrick’s Challenge Fight with Kyle but he withdrew his challenge and asked Kyle if he could temporarily reside in Western territory while he hunts for his true mate which Kyle granted. Elise wanted Patrick but after seeing everything Kyle and Kelsey went through with the Challenges and the possibility of losing him she thought it would be best to stay away from him but it wasn’t easy. I loved how Patrick became part of the Westin Family well Elise’s siblings at least before even realising that E he’d heard constantly about wasn’t a nick for Lilly but was actually their other sister Elise who happened to be Patrick’’s missing true mate. Man, you could feel Patrick’s heartbreak when Kyle banished him from Westin territory because he couldn’t keep his mate safe nor does Elise want a true mate and is probably never going to want one, he said that all to him without actually asking Elise point blank what she wants; It was awesome to see how protective Chase and Liam had become of Patrick when they were pissed at Elise for Kyle banishing him and I loved how Elise stormed into Kyle’s office demanding what happened and then ran after Patrick to tell him not to leave and don’t listen to Kyle. It cool to see Elise finally acknowledge Patrick as her mate. I’m looking forward to reading Liam’s story next to see the Westin Pack grow. I’d recommend this book, series, Westin World Universe and author to everyone.
Westin Pack Rules! i love this wolf shifters series much! Each can be a standalone but does follow the events from book one. This one focuses on Elise and Patrick. Elise refuses to acknowledge her one true mate but for how long? the feelings are only getting stronger. Running will only take you so far. By the time she realizes her mistake she is taken hostage and the hunt begins. New alliances are made and Elise and Patrick have that love they both want.
