I usually don’t read books in the MC genre, but I read a sample of Chris and I was hooked from the beginning. I had also read the first book in this series.
Most shifters spend decades, even centuries looking for their fated mates, but Chris and his mate knew each other from the moment 15 year old Ava reached maturity. Unfortunately Chris is in his 80’s and he faces waiting years for Ava to grow up. Even worse, Ava is the daughter of the club president and daddy is very protective of his little girl.
Over the years Ava has become impatient and bitter waiting for her life to begin. Her parents are strict and she’s stuck in the clubhouse working on the family businesses and waiting on Chris. At 25, she’s still considered a baby in shifter terms and won’t reach maturity until 40.
This story premise is unusual and it really caught my interest. I read the book in one evening and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ava go from hopeless and helpless to strong once some hope appears. The author allows Ava to mature on her own and not just because she has her mate. This makes her a much stronger character in the story.
