This is the third book in the Westin Pack Series. You do not have to read the first two but I highly recommend that you do, they are good stories and give you background on this book. Liam is a younger brother to the Alpha. He is young to be the CEO of the Westin Foundation at twenty-four years old. He had a secret crush on his twin sisters, Lily, best friend years ago. Tragically the friend, Madelyn Collier, went missing as a teenager eight years ago and is presumed dead.
While visiting a restaurant in town, he smells something wonderful and comes face to face with a woman that is his true mate.
Madelyn or Janie as she is known now, knows that it is a risk to come into the Westin Pack area where she might be recognized. She has hidden for the last eight years. She is carrying many secrets. Maddie/Janie has PTSD from a rape and beating then left for dead at sixteen years old. She has a reminder of that in a son, Oscar. Her adoptive parents Jacob and Anna are traveling through the area on the way to a conference. They have no idea that Maddie/Janie is a wolf shifter. Her wolf has been so suppressed due to trauma and medication.
This was a sweet and touching love story. Liam is patient and kind. Madelyn/Janie is fragile and has not come to terms with her assault and rape. They journey toward rediscovery and that they are true mates. Perhaps they can heal the budding relationship. But what if Maddie’s wolf is gone, can they bond anyway?
Then we find out about the Guardian society of Vendari? Who are these people and what do they want with Shifters? This adds a whole new dimension to the Westin Pack. We already have a Pack War with the Bulari’s.
So many wonderful characters, compelling story and so action packed it is a page turner. This is not a story to be missed. Now I am looking forward to the next book.
Such an emotional story. Liam is so calm and collect at first and a woman will always turn things upside down! This parts of the story was definite a heart wrenching one but had such wonderful family and love story moments too.
Love Will Keep Us Together….
The shame that comes with rape is present even among shifter, never think that family will shun you because of it. Talk to someone about it less it haunt you forever.
Madelyn Collier has stayed away from her pack for 8 years thinking she would be a burden and shame to them because of what she went through and the results of it., little does she know that they hold a vigil for her every year and still keep the faith that she is alive. When she is spotted by her childhood crush, she gores into a panic, how can he be her mate when she doesn’t even have a spirit animal? What she doesn’t know is that Liam Westin has loved her since childhood and will take her as she is. Son and all they are his.
Liam Westin can’t believe his luck, he has found the only girl he has ever loved, now he just has to convince her she is meant to be with him no matter what….He was broken once when she disappeared, but he won’t lose sight of her now.
Get ready for another PNR page-turner you won’t want to put down! I don’t know how this author manages to make each new book even better than the previous fantastic must read but she exceeds my expectations every time! That’s why IMHO we need to be able to add a bonus star & if I could, I’d give 6 stars to “Forever Mine” too 😀 … This 3rd novel is now my favorite in the Westin Pack world and has some great new characters, plus many returning ones 🙂 These books don’t have to be read in order, but I’m glad I did… Always unique plots, plenty of suspense & some hot romance 😉 Amazing attention to detail and witty dialogue will keep readers engaged! I highly recommend this to all adult fans of fiction, so make sure your e-readers are charged or plugged in 😉 I absolutely can’t wait for more!! But I will of course 😉
**********Contains Spoilers**********
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it is definitely my favourite of the series so far. I loved the connection between Liam and Maddie. Liam is perfect for Maddie especially after everything she went through when she was 16 years old. You could just feel the emotion pouring off Liam, Maddie and Maddie’s best friend and Liam’s twin Lily on multiple occasions throughout this book. I loved the relationship between Liam and Maddie’s son Oscar. I loved how Liam accepted him straight away and after hearing how he was conceived he told Maddie that no matter is Oscar ends up being part wolf, part tiger or just a human it doesn’t change how much he cares about him. I loved how when Liam and Oscar went out for Ice cream and Liam let Oscar choose what car they take and he chose the Corvette Stingray and since there’s only two seats Oscar has to sit in the front and they don’t have a booster seat so Liam made Oscar wear a motorcycle helmet and some old football shoulder pads to keep him safe, it was completely adorable. Sh*t that would’ve been horrible when Maddie smelt the scents of the Tiger Shifters who gang r*ped her and left her for dead and she’s the one who released all the captive shifters being held in cages by the Verndari, man the guilt would be horrible as after the brutality of everything she was put through by them, they’ll most likely do it to someone else if they haven’t already. I’m looking forward to reading Chase’s book next. I’d recommend this book, series, Westin World Universe books and author to everyone.
