This could have been good. But sadly, the writing style was unpolished and it was in bad need of editing. There were so many grammatical errors, it was hard to stay focused. Thankfully it was short.

Book: Destined Mate – Red Moon Pack #2
This really didn’t work for me, mostly due to Vy whom I found querulous, screechy, unreasonable and annoying, and I completely failed to see how everybody kept on referring to him as a dominant man with the respect (and fear) of his pack/ket/whatever. It did not show in his behaviour, whether the narrative was from his POV or Robert’s. This supposedly strong and brusque leader showed such a submissive character when interacting with his boyfriend, his second-in-command & her husband, and I found it really weird. What the characters around him SAID he was, and how he actually was just didn’t mesh.
The characterisation of Robert worked better, but it was still strange - a gentle, nurturing giant of a man with a slightly off-kilter dominant side in bed, who for reasons quite beyond me found Vy’s petulance charming.
I also failed to get a grip on the world-building: Vy lives in a tiny town, his ket/pack/whatever is really big (so big that he kinda doesn’t know who everybody is, but they can still all gather at the house of one of the families in the ket), humans may or may not know abut shifters, there is maybe kinda some sort of fight going on with the wolves in the next town over, but it’s not quite clear what. What a mess.
Well, these were a rambling mess. After the first one I thought weeeellll, that was almost in the land of had-potential-but-turned-to-meh. I was not overly impressed by the writing or the editing or the cohesiveness of the story. I did feel mildly interested in what would happen though, and I was also in a "I can't make my mind up on what to read so I will read trash while I wait for Mercy Thompson 8" mood. And so I picked up the second for reasons that are not all that sound.
Wish I hadn't. Oh well. Moving on.
