Review: The Alpha's Temporary Mate by Victoria Davies (Fated Match #3)
Noted: This ARC was provided by Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
Alpha werewolf shifter and pack leader Kieran Clearwater requires the services of Fated Match, but his specifications have matchmaker and witch Chloe Donovan thinking he would be better of calling a 1-900 number. Kieran wants a temporary girlfriend, someone whose presence by his side will convince the members of his pack that he's taking the search for a mate seriously, and he believes the one best suited to his needs is none other than Chloe. Making Kieran's pack members believe that they're a couple in love could prove to be much easier than pretending that what they both feel for each other is very temporary.
The Alpha's Temporary Mate is the third and latest novel in the Fated Match paranormal romance series from author Victoria Davies and is the story of a temporary union between a witch named Chloe Donovan and a werewolf named Kieran Clearwater. While Chloe agrees to the stipulations of the contract and she is drawn to Kieran, she knows everything will end soon. She wants a mate and Kieran's one experience with love and a committed relationship ended in heartache, something that has traumatized him to the point that he has no intention of ever putting his heart on the line for any female, even if he does care for Chloe.
I enjoyed the first two books in this series--Love at Stake and Dying to Date--and this third installment certainly doesn't disappoint. Chloe is the perfect partner for Kieran, even if they belong to two different immortal groups, because she isn't afraid to speak her mind and is capable of standing up to the alpha wolf if need be. Just when you think everything is finally falling into place for them, there's a twist that occurs, one that had me frustrated because of both Chloe's and Kieran's reactions to what happened. Another thing I liked was that these two didn't immediately fall into bed together even though they were tempted.
I'm hoping that the series will continue because there are certain supporting characters that I'm still itching to read about, namely, Christian Kae (from the first book), Jessica (whose last name isn't mentioned in this book), and Fated Match owner Vivian Sands (who makes me more and more curious with each new book). I can also imagine a few more interesting pairings that are far from the norm, which is part of what makes the Fated Match series both intriguing and entertaining. Consistency in terms of the quality of writing while being able to stand out is why I'm giving The Alpha's Temporary Mate 4.5 stars. ♥
