Book Review: Freeing his Mate by Nancy Corrigan

Shifter World: Shifter Affairs Book 1

When you learn your true mate is trapped in a bond she never wanted, there’s only one thing to do – free her.

I swore I’d never rejoin Shifter Affairs. Their rules stopped me from exacting my own brand of justice and allowed criminals to walk free. But my promise to solve a cold murder pulls me right back in.

And this case leads me to a skittish female who triggers every primitive instinct I possess. We click. Instantly. Just like it’s supposed to be between true mates.

The only problem? Mya’s already taken. She’s also already a mother. And she’s pregnant again.

I missed out on my happily-ever-after and the fated love few shifters ever find.

But so did Mya. She didn't choose this life. An abusive man claimed her before I could and forced her into a bond for the babies she can conceive.

Not any longer. My true mate has a choice, even if the law says she doesn’t. And if it takes my death to free Mya, so be it.

~ Rick

My Review:

I’ve learned that I’m a sucker for a brooding Gothic hero (in books – they’re a ton of work in real life). Rick is a true wounded warrior, in desperate need of a reason to keep going. Mya has been forced to make herself ‘small’ in order to survive, but she’s strong and fierce. All she needs is the freedom to show off those qualities. This book immediately captivated my imagination. From the very first page I was sucked into the story and was prepared to fight anyone preventing me from finishing it. This is a very unique perspective on shifter culture from everything I’ve previously read. I’m not really a fan of how very misogynistic their world is, but I appreciate that the author shows us heroes and heroines that are working to make a difference in that situation. This book has a very twisty plot that’s as much about the villain’s misdirection as it is about the romance between our leading couple. I can’t wait to dive back in and read more about this world. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
