Review: His Royal Mate by Brea Alepoú
SYNOPSIS:
True mates are found in the most unlikely of places.
Kash is Royalty
Kash doesn’t want to believe Dezi is his fated mate. But that’s okay. Dezi is patient and if the fates are going to grant him a beautiful man he’s more than willing to work for it.
Dezi is majestic
Kash had no plans on being mated, especially not to a lion shifter who feels too good to be true. He needs to be wary of Dezi’s charming smile and his warm hugs, but it’s hard to stay on guard when just being around Dezi calms him.
Tender moments, surprises, and reunions. The good and bad, they are in this together.
REVIEW:
I think this might be my favorite book out of the entire series. Dezi and Kash were both just such dynamic and strong characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with them. Throw in a few surprise plot-twists and the mischievous Bliss Pride and I couldn’t put the book down.
We see Dezi and Kash are meant to be mates at the end of His Bewildered Mate. This story picks up right where they left off. Kash is hung up on how his exes have treated him but Dezi is determined to show Kash that they could have it all. And eventually the do work things out for the better and bond. But Kash is keeping a big secret and when his brother shows up to town, everything is revealed.
Not only that, Dillan is still pregnant and they don’t know how the birth will work and if he will be okay. So half the pride travels to where Kash is from and we learn why he left town real fast. Kash’s father is the absolute worst and his mother is a sheep. But I think this is needed as Dezi has to show Kash he wants him for him and not who Kash is. It brings closure to a lot of the little hang-ups that Kash still had. Overall, everything works out for the best.
Some side notes, the editing on these stories, well lets just say it needs a few more pass throughs. And my second critique is that there needs to be a better balance between sex scenes and dialogue. I am all for sex scenes but when they fit with the story’s flow. Some of these scenes felt like they were slapped in after the fact and didn’t fit. It disrupted the story and felt very abrupt. What could have been a heart-felt tender moment turned into a sex scene and just took me out of the story.
