Sometimes you just need a fun, spicy paranormal romance, and The Mating Game delivered!
I enjoyed Hunter and Tess’s chemistry, their banter, and the tension between them. There was humor, romance, and plenty of spice, making this an entertaining, easy-to-enjoy read.
Where it fell a little short for me was the character development, plot, and especially the world-building. I was left with questions. Why weren’t betas wolf shifters? What about fated mates? Did they even exist in this world? I would have loved more explanation of how everything worked.
I also felt there was room to dig a little deeper into the characters and storyline. The potential was there, but some things felt a little underdeveloped.
That being said, not every book needs an intricate plot or an emotional roller coaster to be enjoyable. Sometimes a fun romance with great chemistry and plenty of heat is exactly what you’re looking for!
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
A good, fun read that I enjoyed, even if it left me wanting a little more!
