One True Mate by Julie Trettel

kaity_b's review against another edition

3.0

3-3.5 solid,

I didn't fall in love, but it was well written that I was hooked.

I think the main complaints that I have are that Kelsey's past was brought up so many times that I was getting a little annoyed since it was the same thing over and over. I felt like that happened a lot, there were small things, but pivotal things, and they were talked about over and over and over that I was losing interest.

I was hoping for more action in this book from how Kelsey's childhood was, but it was fairly tame for my liking. I think if there were any more talks about the wolves who were after her, or have something happen to them besides just fighting for their right to be together it would have been better in my opinion...

Overall a very low angst and cute romance. Kyle was super supportive and sweet! I am excited to see what the rest of the Westin's have to offer.

This gave me nostalgic 2005 shifter fic vibes but I mean this in the best way. The writing wasn't the best but the plot was still everything I wanted out of this book. Honestly I'll probably continue the series, it definitely reminds me of when I first really got into reading and that made me really happy.

Enjoyable wolfish read

I dont know why I keep at wolf themed books lately, but this was not that Bad. As much as I likes the Kelsey and Kyle story I dont believe I will continue on the series. It felt too mainstream and overall just meh to spend more Time in likely more of meh reading.

Didn't love this - almost a week later when I'm writing this review and I barely remember the book. The plot and characters just didn't really stick with me.

Very misogynistic.

The pacing was too fast, writing kinda rough. But the plot was interesting, it just felt like I read a whole trilogy in a single book.

Interesting set up of pack dynamics. Good to see a strong FMC learning to be strong.
