This was great!! I loved the addition of the cat shifters. The idea of a dog and cat being together is humorous but it was overall a good story!!
Cat Vs. Dog???
If you’ve been keeping up with this awesome series about the Westin Pack, then you know that they have never had an inter-species mating, as a matter of fact it’s never been heard of in their world of shifters.. They have mated powerful witches and they are not racist by any means, but never different type of shifters.. There are still those shifters that believe in keeping the species pure though.
Chase Westin is the youngest of the Westin siblings, he is away at college for shifters (ARC where he has quite the reputation as the ladies man. Better they call him that than geek, if they find out, after all that’s why he keeps his geekiness a secret cause girls don’t lust after geeks. One night when on the prowl for his next conquest at the new sorority house, he is slapped with the scent of his one true mate, but how can that be possible there?
Black Panther princess Jenna Lockhart has put her foot down for the first time in her life and asked to go to ARC where all the species of shifters can intermingle even though her father the King is a purist through and through… After all ARC has the best department on her passion Photography. There is one hitch though, the king has her twin and all the other females of his Pride go there, but no intermingling allowed and they all know it. Jenna is taken aback when her cat starts purring in the presence of the brothers of D.O.G. when they come through the door for the party.
If you’ve been keeping up with this series you’ll find that this story is way more intriguing and mysterious than Patrick and Elise’s story and will keep you captivated till the end not knowing what will happen from one moment to the next.
Confusing Hearts is the fourth book in the Westin Pack Series. You can read this book as a stand alone but you will get greater depth by reading them in order. This book features the youngest Westin, Chase.
Chase is attending college at the shifter college: Archibald Reynolds College. He is your typical upperclassman, attend classes, flirt, party, have one-night stands, rinse and repeat. He belongs to a fraternity that is mostly wolves but a few cats and others. His best friend is a jaguar named Matt.
Jenna Lockhardt and her twin, Tessa are attending college far away from home. Jenna chose Archibald Reynolds College to get away from her overprotective parents. Jenna and Tessa are panther royalty, daughters to the King.
Chase meets Jenna and confusion abounds. He thinks she might be his true mate but sees her again and his wolf disagrees. He has no idea that she has an identical twin. He learns that she is a panther shifter. Can interspecies be true mates? What will Jenna’s parents do if they find out?
Chase and Jenna want to be together and decide to mate despite there being consequences. These consequences could lead to war between the families and packs. There will be casualties.
Be prepared for a heart wrenching story that keeps you turning the pages. This is a sweet love story and some sadness. Through it all the Westin family shines.
Each story about the Westin Pack has been vastly different. Each Westin sibling are similar yet distinct. I can’t wait for Lily’s story.
Wow! No confusion here! I was blown away by this author & her fantastic romantic suspense novel that grabbed me from the start & held on tight so that I read it in record time! “Confusing Hearts” is the 4th stand-alone in the phenomenal Westin Pack world of shifters! I don’t know how Ms. Trettel comes up with each, brand new & different story with fantastic descriptions and surprise twists & turns, that somehow tops her previous 5 star books, but she does it! Plus, she gives us those well-defined characters that jump off the pages with witty dialogue that I know will keep readers engaged and turning pages like I did! I highly recommend this to all adult fans of fiction & especially those who love fantasy, PNR and/or shifters! Omg! I can’t wait for more, but I will!

Another amazing book by Julie. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Jenna and Chase. I loved that Jenna went with her heart instead of her Father and King’s demands. I loved seeing Jenna come into her own as her and Chase started spending time with each other. I loved meeting Chase’s Delta Omega Gamma brothers and thought it was cool how not elitist they are and even have a Matt a Jaguar shifter and Chad a squirrel shifter as brothers. Even though they all aren’t the same species they’re as close as any blood brothers are that they’d even drop everything to go to war to protect the love between Chase and Jenna since her dad is a racist a*se that even after your daughter was pleading with you to stop since her and Chase are true mates you’d still bring war for both species. Man, I shed some tears for what happened to Matt. I loved how Jenna’s twin Tessa was so supportive of her and Chase when she found out that they’re true mates, considering the type of person she was at the start of the book it was cool to see her and Jenna grow closer together. I also thought it was cool how the different shifter animals true mate bonds complete at different stages like wolves can sense their mate in location and emotional state first whereas panthers form the physical connection first and squirrels first stage of bonding with their true mate is telepathy whereas for wolves that’s the final stage of bonding. I’m really looking forward to reading Lily’s book which should be interesting as I think her mating isn’t going to go smoothly at all. She gave so much sh*t to her siblings and their mates for not accepting their mating bonds straight away so they’re going to give it back to her tenfold and she’ll be eating her words. I’d recommend this book, series, the Westin World Universe and author to everyone.
