A copy received from the Netgalley and the publisher for honest review.A Perfect Mate was #2 in the series. Story just jumps in with a scene with Julia and Damien like we know who they are, but I caught up quickly. I have not read #1 Blind Wolf by Aubrey Rose, so the characters had to grow on me. Damien and his pack are considered misfits. He's found a human woman for a mate. All is not what it seems, and a rival pack means trouble. Damien lost his sight in a fight. His other senses have taken over, so he's still a fierce protector for Julia. He's learned that another Alpha is pursing his mate and he cannot understand why. Since I felt like the start of the book dropped me into the middle of a scene, I hate to assume that the first book ends on a bit of cliff hanger.Julia and her Grandmother are key to the mystery. Action, suspense, and romance make this a complete stand alone book. It has HEA so I can so not cliff hanger here.I have not read this series, but have a few of the BBW books in my TBR pile. 3.5 starsPerfect mate is 200% better than Blinded Wolf. The wolf who was captured and was unconscious now has woken up and has secrets to reveal that will change everything. But he isn't the only one who is keeping things for our characters. Grandma Dee is not who she seems to be, someone from the pack is going to betray them and the happily ever after for Damien and Julia is not for sure. If there is another book in the series I want it to be about Jordan and not J&D. I feel sad for those who read and disliked the first book and won't read this.
What do You think about Perfect Mate (2013)?
This book had more action than Blind Wolf, which is what I love.
