Welcome back to Tanglewood! Skye Warren has let us wait for a bit to have Sutton’s story but she made it well worth it.
Mating Theory is a modern-day Pretty Woman fairy tale. Sutton and Ashleigh were an unlikely pair who discovered a strong bond together. Sutton restored Ashleigh’s belief in good people and Ashleigh awakened the better man who was always inside of Sutton.
I really like this better man. He has proven himself worthy of a woman like Ashleigh. Together they will keep all the promises and save the world.
One of the best books I’ve ever read, this is my first book from this author, but it won’t be my last! the characters are so amazing, the twists and turns were incredible! I had to read it in one sitting!
If you’re looking for an easy to follow, hot, steamy, sexy, smooth flowing read that captures your attention from the start. Congratulations my friends you’ve found it.

I followed the characters fascinated as their personalities transformed and blended. Vivid detailed descriptions were so life like and on point. The storyline was solid and well defined. Cold showers may be in order when your finished. Skye Warren did a remarkable job bringing this story together beautifully.

Lets talk covers…hot, sweet and steamy! So love this cover. Skye Warren totally slay this one! Intense, gripping, steamy and oh so good! Sutton and Ashleigh, two broken souls who came together and fit so perfectly well. You will absolutely love this steamy and intense read.
Ive been waiting for Sutton’s book and I was not disappointed. Sutton has lost everything, even himself. He’s tired of being the good guy. Ashleigh hasn’t had an easy time either. They come together thinking they’re just benefiting themselves and find so much more
Brand new standalone dangerous romance from Skye Warren
Sutton Mayfair. So rich, so handsome, such a cowboy and so heartbroken. I couldn’t wait for Sutton to get a book written just for him. He had my heart when he was introduced in “Survival of the Richest” but, in the Mating Theory we find him broken and angry. He meets a someone can they help him? While reading this book the question can also be asked, can they help themself Skye writes Sutton’s story with heart. I was rooting for him and loved how Skye gives Sutton the road to healing. It never is easy. It’s just signature Skye Warren edgy romance. I will say my only complaint is I wish it was longer. I can read about Skyes world in Tanglewood anytime, anywhere.
“I love you, Sutton Mayfair”
“Good” “Because I waited long enough.”
Skye Warren is the Master of creating deep characters with great emotion into wonderful stories that leave the reader satisfied and exhausted or in tears ( this one left me in happy tears.). Mating Theory gives us the story of Ashleigh a seventeen year old girl fearfully living on the streets, trying to support herself by selling her body; and Sutton a heartbroken, deeply flawed but wealthy thirty two year old entrapenuer.
They meet on the streets as Sutton struggles with his heart ache. They connect and protect each other, have deep feelings for each other, but is this enough? Will it last? Can there be a future for them?
The ending….. the BEST ending I’ve read in some time – loved it!!!!
BRAVO Ms. Warren, very well done!!!!
Oh em geeeee so good! Love Skye, and this was no exception. One click! Aah! xoxoxo
Ooh, this is like a modern day pretty woman. I couldn’t put it down. Hot forbidden romance at its best!
Another fantastic romance from Skye! I love everything about Mating Theory!!
I love all of Skye’s books, but this may be my new favorite.
Ohmygawd! It’s a brand new standalone dangerous romance from Skye Warren! Don’t miss it!
Holy Christ … there is not a universe out there that I would have ever said … “I am rooting for you Sutton” . Like in a gazillion years you would not have heard me say that!!!! *sigh*
There’s a universe. Holy shitballs, there is a fucking universe. THIS.FUCKING.STORY. JUST WOW.
So listen, something magical happened when I read this story. I didn’t just fall in love with Sutton and Ashleigh, I wanted to guard them and protect them! I wanted to slay all of their dragons! I wanted to take all of the darkness away! These are fictional characters people but they didn’t feel like that! Skye Warren is a wizard! That’s the only explanation I have! This story was everything Sutton and Ashleigh both deserved! IT WAS GLORIOUS!
Skye did more than just make me fall in love with Sutton. She made me rethink everything I ever thought about him! She made me reevaluate what I thought was his past in the Trust Fund world. She made me his champion! And now I crave him! I want to know every detail of his story moving forward! If you’re reading this Skye … i need more words like I need my next breath !!
This is like an open wound. Tender, raw, a testament to a pain that cannot be seen but can still maim someone.
Sutton is bleeding pain from his broken heart, and the author’s words transmit all the jagged edges with easy flow. He is hurting and takes a woman from the streets to numb the pain. Behind this hot romance, there is a myriad of triggering themes. Once again, this author puts poetry on the ugliness.
I usually gravitate towards men with broken hearts, so Sutton held a special interest for me. Not in the novel where I met him because I rooted for Christopher and Harper, and I don’t favour male couples. However, this character called me like a beacon in his own novel.
He is really devastated by turbulent emotions, and his inner fight between self-indulgence of his depraved instincts and decent humanity is teetering on a dangerous edge. What a story to read! I couldn’t miss it for the world. Especially because the victim of his torn desires is a fallen angel with too much hope for a world that has crushed her.
The battle of flesh and soul is epic and ardent and breathtaking. And it becomes an homage to selfless love. That’s why lies at the core of this beautifully melancholic romance. A lesson in love that is pure and giving even when it stems from loss and shame. Sutton learns to love again in a different way that takes his heart on a spin.
I loved the double POV, his is raging against the world, while hers is vulnerable yet brave. Passion between these characters is scorching-hot, yet it grows into a drama of sacrifice and generosity. I cried over Ky and Ashleigh, their horrific circumstances to survive. I felt moved by Sutton’s strength and his unrelenting way to love people. He may have taken advantage of her, but he soon treats her like a human being instead of flesh to be used and thus she finds the fairytale we all crave.
At the end, the plot twist felt shocking and the resolution rushed, but the author managed to wrap it up with deep sensibility, and it made me sigh again. And I got to see some characters that I cherish. Marvellous read.
I didn’t have many days to read and review this book and I was a bit nervous. I like 7 days… I need time to read and write my thoughts down… I need the days but silly me. This is Skye Warren. I needed like 2 days and time to align those thoughts and write them down. Skye Warren always blows me away with her writing. It just captures your attention and holds it. She brings life to her characters. I was smitten with Sutton and his love for Ashleigh. He struggled feeling like that wolf tearing apart the lamb but it was clear rather quickly that Ashleigh was different for him.
I do kind of feel like we’ve had similar storylines from Skye Warren. While I really like her stories and the characters. I wanted a bit more than a woman using her body to get that financial stability she’s looking for and a man using his money to get it. Now this isn’t enough to turn me off and again, I loved the book. I’m just hoping for a bit more variety in the next book. The story itself was saturated with emotions and they aren’t always the hearts and flowers emotions. Sutton and Ashleigh had some things to overcome, let alone the struggles they faced within themselves. Warren completed the story with poetic writing. It has been a couple months since I’ve highlighted so many passages. Her words come out brimming with emotion and a beauty to my ears. I am on the edge of my seat waiting on the follow up!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
Wow! Read this in one sitting! Such a good book. Loved Ashleigh and Sutton! The passion and the angst was incredible. I cant wait to see the bonus scene when this book comes out!
Such an amazing book! Sutton and Ashleigh at both broken in their own ways. They have to make sacrifices to get where they want to be. This book had me enthralled. There was even glimpses of characters from other books. Their journey is full of angst and also beautiful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
Skye is giving one of her characters an ending to his tumultuous story and like me he might not have been one of your favourites. I knew from previous books that this was going to be an emotional read and I also could never have guessed the woman who would eventually be a match for him. This is a rags to riches story with a darker twisted edge. Ashleigh has known the harsh realities of life as a teenage prostitute her life is hard so why should she trust Sutton. This is an older man younger woman but the way it is written age really does just become a number. I loved the pull between them it was intense passionate and emotional.
