I just finished my arc of the 3rd book in the Sweetwater pack series and it's a doozy folks! First things first. I alpha read this book, but I promise you'll get nothing but honesty from me in this review. I'll even admit I was a teeny bit worried going in as I'm not usually a big fan of MM+. No that's not quite right. I enjoy it, but there are a few qualifiers I need and open communication is one of them. It helped immensely that we got all 4 MCs POV. I was able to see what was going on in their heads, even if it went against their actions. Honestly based on how things were turning out at the start I had no idea how Stuart was going to pull this all together and give everyone an HEA. Asher was the MC I was rooting for the most (I love an underdog, or underlion I guess?), while Stuart was ready to banish him to Luna knows where!
There were a lot of things that had to happen for these MCs to find their way. Their struggles felt realistic to me. Sometimes no matter how much you wish for something to work, it doesn't always happen. You can't magically make a relationship perfect, especially one with not just two, but four individuals with their own feelings to take into account. A lot of time was spent with one or more of the MCs too busy trying to make another person happy, than actually figuring out what it was that was going to make THEM happy too. It took them some time, and a lot of hard work, but eventually Asher, Roan, Tate, and Hiro found their balance and I truly believe it worked out how it was supposed to in the end for all parties involved.
Now aside from the romance, we have some major revelations that occur. I'm not going to name them, because it was great being surprised when I read about it. There is so much potential for where the next books could go. Though I'm a huge fan of Axel and cannot wait for his book, hint hint, I'm also dying for Larken as well. That man was such a support to Roan and his family, even though it must have hurt him to do so. I need that giant lizard to get his happy ending. It's no less than he deserves for being a stellar packmate and friend.

How do I possibly write a review about this magnificent addition to our beloved Sweetwater Pack without giving anything away?? It’s nearly impossible. There are so many unique twists to the plot, these characters and their eventual HEA … my mind was blown. In the best way.
