“He’s bitter. She’s hopeful. They’re both scared of what might happen.” What an emotional rollercoaster. This was quite good. Isn’t it great when your mate lives just next door!

Nice Quick Read Cute short story. The characters were likeable and unique. A story with potential but I thought it was too short, though.
Thank you for an ARC so I could give an honest review.
Taking flight and finding love
The Swan’s Mate is the story of Cordelia and Malcolm. Cordelia is a swan shifter who has moved to a town of other shifters to hide from humans that want to experiment on her. She moves into an old house that is in need of a lot of repair. Her neighbor is Malcolm. He is a goose shifter who is the town librarian. For the last year he has been mourning the loss of his twin sister but then he meets his beautiful new neighbor. They become friends, along with another neighbor one night share a kiss. Well that kicks things off between them as their inner animals want to come out to play together. But Cordelia is still skittish so Malcolm is willing to take things slow as he is not letting her fly away from him. But when the humans that wanted her track Cordelia down will Malcolm be able to get to her in time to save her? Will they continue to fly together?
This is a charming story that has drama, danger, romance, friendship, love and of course a lot of animal chemistry. I enjoyed this nicely written book as it has a solid story-line and wonderful characters.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
While I have read of shifter’s town, this is the first time I come across a swan shifter or a goose shifter. All the shifters I have read are predators but looks like my knowledge is limited.

Fantastic!

The characters, banter, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits, blend and flow, transforming into genuine charismatic personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and graphic descriptions creating an elaborate backdrop that feels as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Fantastic job Sophie, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Cute short story. Cordelia, swan shifter moves into Perfection across the street from Malcolm, goose shifter. She was unobtrusive and shy. She was hypervigilant and suspicious of everyone. Malcolm noticed her right away and felt she was a bit secretive concluding she was running away from something or hiding. Is Malcolm able to break down Cordelia’s walls? Does Cordelia find her peace? Malcolm takes it upon himself to keep an eye on Cordelia? Does danger find her in spite of her efforts? Nice story, good perspective on these flying shifters.

The Swan’s Mate by Sophie Stern.
Malcolm doesn’t like relationships. They’re messy and complicated, and he doesn’t have time for complicated. His life is fine, ordinary, until Cordelia moves in next door.
A good read. Good story. Good characters. 4*.

The Swan’s Mate is an unique twist for a shifter story. A typical shifter in the story are predators, lions, tigers, bears and wolves, but in this story we see the gentler side of them.
Cordelia is hiding from a couple who wants to harm her, Malcolm is hiding from his pain. But when Cordelia is in trouble, Malcolm, a goose shifter, uses his animal to surprise the attackers.
This is a surprisingly amazing story the show to never underestimate ones abilities.

This was such a cute story. A swan and a goose. Cordelia is running from two twisted humans who want to experiment on her. She has moved to a shifter town, and the townspeople start to give her a sense of security. Especially her neighbor Malcolm who she knows is her mate. But she is a swan shifter and Malcolm is a goose shifter. If the people who are after her ever find her, what can she and Malcolm do?
A story with potential, the Swan Mate is about a goose shifter finding his mate in his new neighbor, a Swan shifter. She is scared of something, but does not want to tell. Most of the story is about their feelings and just towards the last 1/4 the plot thickens and there is some action.
I had received this book as an ARC from the author. All in all the story has potential, but falls a little flat and is more anti-climatic. A vanilla story if ever there was one.
.
Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.
