Silas had always expected to find his fated mate early in life, like most pack leaders do. But as he nears his fortieth birthday, still single, he begins to accept that maybe he’s not meant to have a mate after all. When he finds an intruder in his territory, a young cop who smells human but also like everything he’s longed for, Silas can’t help but feel a spark of hope. Could this man be part … shifter? Could he be Silas’s mate?
Cory’s conservative family believes shifters are evil, but when he meets Silas, he’s shocked by the pack leader’s gentleness and hit with feelings of desire beyond anything he’s ever experienced. All of Cory’s fantasies center around older men who take charge and take care of him, so when Silas asks if he needs a Daddy, all he can say is yes.
Torn between his family’s expectations and the pull he feels toward Silas, Cory knows he’ll have to give up his career if he follows his heart. Silas wants Cory, not fate, to decide if they should be together, so he fights his protective instincts. But an unexpected pregnancy forces their hands, and the two men have to figure out how to fit their lives together. And maybe have love at long last.
Love at Long Last is the first full story in the Trillium Creek series, but you can also enjoy the prequel short, Love at Lupine Bakery. This mm shifter mpreg story contain claws, fangs, knots, cuddling with cocoa and a definite HEA.

Great story with a wonderful happy ever after
Cory is so sweet, caring and sensitive. The fact he’s been deprived of unconditional love, or what a true family should be, doesn’t stop him. Silas is protective, compassionate and a true leader. It was beautiful to see this story progress.

I liked this book because it was cute, steamy and had great range of characters. It’s my first time reading anything by Ms Violet, and her writing style is easy to read, her characters are well-rounded, and her intimate scenes are numerous and are very raunchy. I enjoyed that too!
I liked Silas as alpha. He was kindhearted but with backbone. He created safe space for his pack, he is well respected by his pack mates. Cory is a young man who is mentally abused by his extensive family. He needs a keeper, and Silas is the perfect wolf for the job. *Daddy/Boy dynamics* There are some misunderstandings, a lot of passion and almost insta love. I didn’t mind it. They were sweet together. The baby and subsequent discovery of Cory’s ancestry was a lovely touch.
What was missing in this book was a bit more tension and angst. Everything just flowed so calmly, so smoothly that I nearly gave up there. Very short moment of weakness it was but still. What saved it for me was all the characters, the desire both men had for each other and their sweet interactions. One other thing that was kind of irritating to me was how both Finn and Cory were portrayed while pregnant – needy, crying messes! Omega is as strong as alpha! There is no need to make them look weak – the person who is pregnant is the strongest and not the one who participated in the first 30 seconds of it! Otherwise, this was a pleasant story with very low level of angst and a lot of day-to-day activities.
Silas is the progressive alpha of a pack full of wonderful shifters. When he meets Cory and realizes that this human is his mate, Silas strives for the patience to let Cory make the choice to be with him of his own free will. Cory was raised by a pretty horrible family, so he has a difficult time believing that Silas and his pack would really be able to love and take care of him. The prospect makes him hopeful, and his feelings for Silas continue to grow beyond the mate bond.
This was a very sweet and sexy romance, and I really cared about Silas and Cory. I enjoyed the other characters as well, and I think I’m going to love this series. I expect to see more of this couple, as Cory continues to make changes and decide what he wants to do in the future. I also look forward to learning more about the other pack members. I think some of them will break my heart. I have to say, I can’t wait!
Love At Long Last by Silvia Violet is a shifter MPREG romance with an age gap that gives just a taste of a daddy kink tone. Cory and Silas are great. I love the slight daddy/boy vibe they have in sexy moments and their sweet interactions. The supporting characters are also fun and entertaining. I truly enjoyed this story and the characters.
I received an advanced reader’s copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
