If you like shifter genre this is an author for you. Excellent series and pulls from other series as well. You really feel connected through the characters.
Wonderful end to the stories!!! Definitely need tissues again for this one but ultimately it’s worth it. Shelby and Ben are so stubborn but so relatable. The ending is perfect and it’s great that all of the Westin and Collier kids are now happily ever after!!!
“Coming Home” is another 6 star must read, IMHO 😀 The 5th and sadly the last phenomenal story in the amazing Collier Pack series 😮 Get ready for another page-turning, emotional roller-coaster ride, especially between the H/h 😮 but thankfully will end in an HEA 😀 This latest fan-freaking-tastic PNR must read grabbed me from page one & kept me glued to my seat not wanting to stop! … I’m not sure how many times I had tears in my eyes, or actually cried 😮 but then there were many other fun times & laugh out loud moments, as well 😀 … Needless to say, Ms. Trettel’s books always have a fresh, unique plot with witty dialogue & relatable characters that spring to life! … I highly recommend this & all her shifter books to adult fans of fiction & look forward to anything she has coming in the future 😀
Don’t miss out on this epic story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Shelby and Ben and loved that they finally got their second chance 9 years after Ben left and enlisted in the army. Man, this book made me shed a few tears especially when Shelby opened up to Ben what she was actually planning on telling him at his boot camp graduation but he told her not too come as he’d believed a lie that Greyson told him that Shelby was his true mate since both their wolves had come in and Ben’s hadn’t come in yet so he didn’t know any different and Shelby was acting a bit weird leading up to his departure. The reason was because he’d actually gotten her pregnant when they were together after their senior prom but it gets a lot worse she takes him to the cemetery and tells him that Annabelle Grace was their daughter but at 27 weeks she got into a car accident and there was so much blood. Doc couldn’t save Annabelle as she was too early to be born and nearly didn’t save Shelby’s life but at a high cost she also lost the chance to ever have kids again. Wow, the way they both breakdown is completely heartbreaking but I love how Ben carves Shay on Annabelle Grace’s headstone. It was heartbreaking but also so beautiful that he claimed her as his. I loved how Ben and Shelby get to know each other again before bonding but Shelby thinks that Ben doesn’t want to fully bond with her because she told him that she can’t have kids with him, even after he told her that he just wants to not get interrupted as there’s so much going on with his dad and them looking after his twin brothers while his dad is at a specialised hospital getting more surgery on his shattered leg and his mum is with him. I loved meeting Ben’s Rangers team and the Westin Force guys and can’t wait to read their stories with all the sh*t they gave Ben about being the Temp and being mated since he has attachments and Silas, the leader of Bravo team usually likes single guys but Ben sure shows them up and earns his right on the team. I’m really looking forward to reading the Sydney and Luke’s book as it should be interesting considering Luke is the Alpha for the Larken Pack and Collier and Larken split years ago and has been bad blood ever since even though Luke is an amazing guy and a fair and just Alpha and also kind of friends with Thomas I don’t think Sydney is going to be too happy with her true mate considering after her and Thomas broke up when he found Lily she’s been wanting her true mate ever since. I’d recommend this book, series, Westin World Universe and author to everyone.
