Unexpectedly Mated: (BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance) (Sassy Mates Book 3) Kindle Edition

I’ve been enjoying this series and was excited for this installment, and it was good. However, it didn’t quite have the same feel the others did and I think for me it was because of Nic. While I get her backstory and therefore reasons why she is the way she is, I can’t help but think that she’s unreasonably naïve and hard headed. Jake has his moments as well.

The plot is predictable, but free of consequences. Nic’s parents deserve worse than what they got and with the exception of one fight, there’s no response from the Vegas pack regarding the Wolfes’ presence and behavior.

The family and friends have always been my favorite part of this series, so I wish there was more of them. This book had a lot to do with the inner turmoil for Nic and Jake, so it was mostly their internal monologues. However, the friends and family to gang up on the pair to kick their butts in gear, which I definitely appreciated. It’s adorable when they meddle and orchestrate things so they turn out right.

The ending was the best part of the book. The airport scene (can’t say more about it without giving it away!) is heartwarming and fun. In this book as a whole, we get a little more from Ellie on her feelings about Caleb and we meet a new female (Nic’s sister) that I think has potential in later books. While this wasn’t my favorite book in the series, I still love it and look forward to more!

Unexpectedly Mated is a fun little trip to Vegas and has plenty of pack politics, yummy lovin’, and wolfy action to satisfy any shifter-romance fan!

The Sassy Mates are back again with a whole new twist this time! This is book 3 in the series, be sure to check out the first two before reading this one. So this books starts off at the same point as the first two, at the scenting ceremony. If you are like me and love Milly's hot and sexy starts, this one will not disappoint ;) Then we fast forwards to a few months later, reminding us of what has happened to Jordan and Karla in the first two books before continuing on! Book 3 focuses on Jake and Nic, you can expect hot & sexy scenes, comic relief, frustration at the evil scum, and lack of communication - what more could you ask for! Nic has a very cold mother and step-father, who only are looking for fame and power, they never have shown Nic love so when she finally starts to feel something for Jake she is so confused! And now a bit about the story...

Jordan is worried about the plans for her upcoming wedding, after the attacks on her and Ellie she is nervous, and now she has to plan this gigantic wedding. Nic comes to the rescue with the idea of heading to Vegas for a girls only bachelorette party to take her mind off everything. It will also let her to see her sister too, she will unfortunately have to see her parents too, but what is one dinner in a long trip to Vegas? Especially after she gets smashed and pulls one of the standard Vegas tricks. Little does she know that trick is what will save her life and her heart!

Favorite passages:
- “My kids think there was some sort of miracle conception where they’re concerned.” She shrugged her shoulders and smiled at Kel. “If only they’d realize it took a lot of growling and spanking to actually get each of them.”
- “I’ll tell him that if he hopes to get any kind of a long lasting relationship with you he better do more than make your panties wet.”
- “You belong to me.” His evil smile grew wide. “You’ve been bought and paid for, little one.”
- “You got chocolate and coffee? I might let you seduce me all over again for some of that.”
- “Cut it out. You know you’re hot. All those tattoos can drive a woman wild in all kinds of ways. Let’s not forget the sexy ass.”
- Ellie shrugged. “You know what they say, whiskey gives you balls.” She passed him a shot. “Here, have one. Maybe then you’ll grow some too.”

This will be a short review since I am on the kindle fire, but I wanted to ensure that other readers knew how much I loved this book. The whole series is wicked hot but this one has become my favorite. I hope that all other readers who love hot alpha males/shifters give the book/series a chance.Take it from this reader that you will not be disappointed. Totally worth the price, only thing to make it better would be the next one releasing soon.
