Review: Only get this if you are completely invested in the series already and liked 'Micah's Refuge'. It's not worth it otherwise.

I'm giving this 3 stars because I still like parts of this world. I love Quinn and am excited for future stories with him as a dad. I also like the idea of a more experienced Omega being around and the new characters that tagged along.In terms of the actual love story: I liked Justin and understand that he was lonely and was attracted to Michael but the love story just didn't work for me. I wished he would try to find a potential mate in all these new gay shifters that were moving into the area (twice we are told no he can't do that and yet  I still don't understand why.)  Justin and Michael's love story mirrors Micah and Shea's love story (Book 2), where one partner is keen on the relationship and willing to make it work and ends up being hurt over and over again by the other partner who is so self-involved and carries so much baggage and makes little effort to address his own issues. (Seriously, the only way Micah and Shea's relationship even functions is because of the mating bond which compels Shea to take care of Micah the way Micah naturally cares for him.)We are asked to go along with Justin and Michael dating and buy that they don't discuss any stuff like family and what it would be like to be mates until a few months later and and overlook that Michael at no point is curious to know what kind of shifter his potential mate is until the last few pages. Basically, for me, Michael's efforts were too little too late, but hey, we got our HEA in the end.Also, a request to Ms Tyler: Please give Declan less work stress - maybe he can drop that annoying client that has been giving him problems since Book 1. Unless the client and and the stress he is causing Declan, resulting in Declan's increased aggression is actually part of a future plotline please cut all reference to it - it's tiresome.
