Until next time… Happy Reading!
It was unexpected.
The way multipartner scenes play out are pretty standard. This didn’t do any of that. It was more pedestrian in some ways and more interesting in others. I enjoyed it. Nothing much to it other than two sex scenes and three additional scenes.
Fun though a little predictable. I liked the usual mix of shifter species in this mating; that was unusual. That makes Leola’s pregnancy a source of fascination. What is the baby going to be?
*WARNING* contains explicit sexual content with multiple partners
This one was okay. Leola thinks she’s a deer shifter because she was raised human after her parents died. Leola goes on a hike a miraculously finds mates and more about her parents. This book is kind of like rolling down hill for Leola because that’s how fast it all happens with no time to get details on anything.
This is a quick and easy read. The storyline is well-crafted, intriguing, suspenseful, has drama and steam. The characters are defined, and likable with sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

******** May Contain Some Spoilers ********
I will try my absolute best to keep spoilers to a minimum or completely out of my review. Sometimes it can be hard to do so.
A really good shifter romance. Leola, a human raised deer shifter. She is in the mountains looking for were her parents died. She comes across three lion shifters, Casimir/Cas, Levon, and Kerry. Instant connection between the four of them. About a week later, Leola returns to the mountains to shift. The lion shifters run into a shifted Leola. She isn’t a deer like they thought. There is also things about her past she is about to find out.
•••••• I highly recommend this book/series! ••••••
Unique Unicorn RH Romance!
A great start to this new series. Leola (unicorn who thinks she’s a deer) meets three sexy, hot lion shifters in the woods. Is she their prey or their fated mate? Wonderful combination of sexy characters and unique storyline with plenty of heat and sweet HEA! Enjoy!
I received an advance copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
she knew she was different but it was only when she met the three shifters did she really learn who she really was. They are her mates but she is not so sure about that. Can they prove it? Will she finally accept them? See if she will

Unicorn Mates by Laura Greenwood and L. A. Boruff is the first book in the Valentine Pride series. In this novella, a woman named Leola goes hiking on the mountain where her parents died. She meets up with three men named Cas, Kerry, and Levon who she ends up having a wild sexual adventure that leaves her so enthralled that she can’t forget it. This is only the beginning of this group of fated mates excitingly sensual relationship. I loved this novella and the unique shifter it features. This story was so wonderful that unicorns are now my new favorite shifter. Unicorn Mates is a sexy romp that leads to forever mates.
Talk about a sheltered life. Leola was raised by adoptive parents but wasn’t aware of her shifter heritage or anything about her parents. She learned she was a shifter by accident and not having a mirror anywhere around just guessed at her species. When she meets the Valentine Pride, Cas, Levon and Kerry she is intrigued, but who can blame her. These guys will teach her what it means to be a shifter and to be loved. I’m looking forward to what comes next with them. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
I loved the characters and as always the authors writing style draws you in with the first chapter.i can’t wait for what happens next

Unicorn Mates is a quick, steamy story about a unique female shifter and her fated mates. Leola is in the mountains looking for the place her parents were killed when she runs into three mountain lion shifters. Leola, Cas, Levon and Kerry fall instantly for each other and their chemistry is off the charts hot! I like that we got to know Leola but I would have loved to know more about the guy’s background and hopefully in the next book we get more.
A very quick story, that get right to the point. Kind of cute in its own way. Leola is sassy unicorn which is the first for me. Would like to know about the guys so hopefully in the next book we will learn more. This book is mostly about fated sex scenes.

This was a quirky story about Leola, Cas, Kerry and Levon. She thinks she is a deer shifter. They are mountain lion shifters and they want her. She was looking for the place where she thinks her parents were killed. The men have some knowledge of what happened to them but we are left in the dark about the rest of that part of the story. There is a good mix of story and sex with an interesting epilogue but it is rather short. I spent an evening reading this and if you are familiar with Ms. Greenwood’s writing it is what you expect from her.

This quick, easy read doesn’t leave much time in five chapters for character development. That being said, it’s a cute story about a woman who has only shifted once by accident so has no idea about the culture, the society, or the hierarchy of species. When she does meet other shifters while on a hike in the woods it becomes hot and heavy. It was an enjoyable getaway but nothing heavy or with much substance.
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Leola decided that she would go visit the place her parents were killed. She met three alpha males so she felt protected. Leola likes the three alphas there is chemistry between her and these three alphas.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

This was a short and steamy start to a new series! I don’t think I’ve ever read a unicorn shifter book before, but Laura and LA sure know how to write one. On a hike through the Appalachian Mountains looking for the spot where her parents were murdered and she was shot, Leola has the feeling of a predator watching her. She meets and gets cornered by three men and even though her flight or flight senses kick in, she doesn’t flee. She feels a sudden connection to them and knows that they won’t hurt her. After one hot hookup, she can’t seem to keep her mind off the three of them. She goes back to the trail and gets more than she came for including information about her parents that she never thought she’d find out. I really enjoyed the instant connection that she had with Cas, Kerry, and Levon. They never pushed her past her limits or made her feel uncomfortable and she was in full control when it came to her body. This story kept me hooked from the start and was probably the fastest I’ve ever seen a hot in heavy scene in a book. I loved that this ended in a HEA and still left room for more to come. The characters were great, but I hope to see more character development and life of the Valentine Pride in the next installments.
