This series is a favorite of mine for a few different reasons and one of them is the fun of finding out what familiar character will meet his fated mate. From the start, this one promised something different because one of the mates was a total stranger to me and the other was a stranger who was loosely connected to Raul a character who recurs in several books. The other difference was that struck me in the beginning was that it got more page time which is always a plus with me.Once I started the story I didn't feel as connected to it as others. Hot sexy scenes? Oh yeah, but an emotional connection to the characters? Not so much. I'm not sure why since there was plenty of explanation about their backgrounds and each of them took turns with the narration. For some reason, I just didn't click with them. Truthfully, I wasn't that fond of Jason. He reacted strongly to Michel's concern that he was too young and possibly wouldn't want to settle down in a serious relationship because he would miss all his fun times. The thing is, that Jason's actions from that point on did show he wasn't very mature. He gave Michel the silent treatment for days in response to Michel's efforts to connect with him and then he misunderstands something that hurts him, but races off- again not planning to listen or let Michel explain. Did Michel handle things perfectly? Not always. But the thing is I didn't find them a good match.The other things was that there was a brief bit of action and there were some sexy times, but the plot was only okay to me.So, while it wasn't awful, it wasn't a favorite in the series either.
