Perfect Mate by Jennifer Ashley

3.0

Maybe I'm having a bad day. Read three novellas today and was a bit meh about each of them.

Nell has been alone for nearly 100 years bringing up Shane and Brody her two cubs. One day she is woken by banging in her kitchen which turns out to be a hot male bear shifter called Cormac.

Cormac has found a letter from Nell's mate asking his family to look after Nell and her cubs. For some reason, just reading the letter about Nell was enough to make Cormac fall in love with Nell - without even meeting her!

When Cormac arrives in Shiftertown he has Eric's blessing, if not orders to mate Nell, and her sons are actively promoting the match. In fact, throughout the novella Nell gets rail-roaded by everyone into seeing/mating Cormac.

And then there's the insta-love. Why? I get lust, I even get the mate-bond in this universe. But after knowing someone for what I believe is 24 hours how can you seriously be in love?

Not one of my favourites and I didn't fell invested in either Nell or Cormac.
