3.5 of 5 StarsFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineMichael’s Heart is the fourth installment in Lynn Tyler’s Pack Mates shifter series. I was so excited to get my hands on this book since I couldn’t wait to read about Michael and finally figure out what kind of shifter Justin was. However, once I read Michaels Heart, I was disappointed. But let me explain. There were many things I liked about this book. I will even venture so far as to say there really wasn’t anything I specifically didn’t like about this book. However, there were many things in this book that left me wanting and here in lies the disappointment.I will start with the things I enjoyed about this tale. I love Justin and Michael together. Their relationship follows the pre-established patter set by this shifter series, and these men are HOT together yet also tender and loving. I really like this design by Ms. Tyler. I also like that we learn more about the omega role and are being introduced to more types of shifters. I like learning about how each species of shifter behaves as individuals as well as groups. It is cool to see the differences and similarities. Finally, I love the consistency across the series and the development of overall plot elements. I am looking forward to continuing additions in this world.Ok…on to the things that left me disappointed. Overall, I was left wanting more. I wanted to know more about Michael’s past. I wanted to know more about Justin. I wanted more development in their relationship besides just sex and a few serious conversations. Michael didn’t even bother to ask what kind of shifter Justin was until the very end of the story. He calls Justin ‘his heart” but I never felt like I got a good explanation for why except that they were mates and instantly fell in love. Also, there was no official mating, and the ending left me feeling incomplete. I also wanted to know more about the omega, there were lots of vague statements about the omega’s powers, but very few concrete facts. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed this book very much, but I just felt that it was rushed and needed…..more.
