Review: Claiming His Mate: A Fated Mates Paranormal Romance by Aria Cole & Mila Crawford

Published Nov. 2019

As a loyal lieutenant of the Bare Mountain Pack, Derek is content with his life, yet he has a deep sense of something missing year after year. He never expected to find that missing something running with his pack mates along the edge of the Bare Mountain Bear Clan territory.

When Mia goes for a jog to escape her overbearing and growly, Alpha Bear father, she never dreamed she’d run head first into the missing piece she’d been looking for–one that takes her breath away—and rattles her to the core.

But Derek is a wolf shifter from the same pack that abandoned her mother over twenty years before–and he’s her mate.

Warning: When a wolf shifter finds his forever mate—he’s fated to serve and protect her for life. Bundle up because this is one fated mates story that curled our toes every single page—enjoy!

May be spoilers:

Claiming His Mate is the 2nd in the Bare Bites series. It has 10 chapters with an epilogue and is about Derek and Mia. I do recommend reading in order as the 1st story is about Mia’s parents.

Derek is a wolf shifter and Mia is a bear shifter.

They both know they are mates right off the bat. There is no pushing away and everything moves very fast. Favorite type of read.

Her dad isn’t happy at first, but that is understandable since Derek’s pack is the ones who threw Liza out years ago.

Dual virgins-it says he waited for his mate, but doesn’t specify that he is a virgin, but I’m going with that.

I loved it, to be honest. I love that they get together right off the bat and there is no pushing away. Lots of steaminess. They were just perfect together.

No real drama, no cheating, no separations.

Epilogue is a month out, then 5 years later. They are happily married, mated with 3 boys and on the way to give birth to a girl.

Love and steaminess. I loved it. I gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟. Thanks for reading.
