3.7 stars.Book 1 in the Sassy Mates series.This is a really enjoyable book. Hopefully as the series continues it will lift into the 4 and 5 star area.Aric and his family have known Jordan from when she was young. His sister is her best friend. When his sister and Jordan plan to crash the scenting ceremony with the help of some friends, Aric decides it is time to Jordan what being a mate means.Jordan loves her best friend. Growing up with no love, and being bullied at school, having Ellie stick up for her was the most wonderful thing to ever happen to her. Ellie also has a great family that takes Jordan in and helps her out. Ellie also has brothers. The oldest. Aric, has always made her heart race. Here's to the scenting ceremony. Anything can happen. 3.75/5This was my first sifter only book and it was a great introduction to the sifter genre. This was a quick read that had me turning the pages and staying interested. I enjoyed the characters and story and found myself smiling often at some of the incidents.However, I kept wondering with all the mishaps that kept befalling Jordan why greater care wasn't occurring for her protection. It was the oddest thing for me to understand. An alpha is mating to her and yet she isn't being locked down after the first two attacks even when they know the threat is still out there. Okay I agree locking down would have been a bit extreme but how about assigning some protection or someone to watch over her.I liked that shifters are common knowledge in the world according to the the story (gave me that True Blood feel of the world awareness). Still I enjoyed the story line and might even read another in the series to find out what happens next but I am not totally invested.
Wow! The best. Just love the paranormal. The wolves are my favorite. Thanks Millie!!!
