Rating: 5 out of 5

This review isn't just covering An Impossible Mate, but all four of the Strength of the Pack Series by Joy Lynn Fielding.  While each book is rather short for the price, and while I'd have appreciated longer stories -- Overall the four books are worth it.  At least to me.  They are interesting main characters with flaws and yes, each pairing happens to members of this extremely small gay pack set on a ranch.  These men all have tragic backgrounds of some sort, but they overcome their past to live in this pack - To be accepted and valued, learning to move on.The concepts are rather standard for shifter wolves.  The pack structure, the mating, true mates, inner pack problems and learning to live in a world with gay bashers and humans.  They make it work although as the series advances they encounter a few hic-ups.The main characters in each book and their relationship - They keep popping up and their stories are continued deep into the series.  It's nice to have that continuation.  Not all pairings are easy just as not all wolves are the same.  The author brings it all together.  There are threats to the pack yet they're resolved enough and not cliff hangers.  Each pack mate eventually gets his HEA.Five stars because this is the type of shifter story I can relax and be entertained with.  I was happy I stumbled on this one. - Dan's Wife
