REVIEW: In the sixth addition in A Wizards Touch series, Temple’s Touch, we meet Temple and Madison aka Maddie. It’s important to note this book takes place years after the previous one. Temple (one of the wizard triplets named Dean is his father) is a hybrid of wolf and empath wizard and he has decided he needs to go to wizard’s academy. He plans on moving on with his siblings to form a new pack and wants to feel like he can contribute. Since he is a hybrid and unable to shift into his wolf form he wants to try to figure out his magic. Maddie is a full wolf and is Temple’s best friend since they were children. He joined Alpha James pack after a flood causes him to lose his family. Maddie realizes that he and Temple are mates but after years of Temple treating him like a friend he worries that he will no longer be important to Temple once he goes to school. Temple loves Maddie but unaware of the mate bond he pushes that love aside afraid of the day that Maddie would find his real mate. As Temple embarks on his first few days of school the rest of the pack decides to give ideas to both of them. Alpha James suggests that Maddie go to a mixer and possibly date other people in order for Temple to realize what he is missing. After being hit on at school, a slip up confirms what Temple should have known all along, that they are mates. After they mate, a visitor shows up from Maddie’s past and suddenly Maddie is kidnapped. Temple didn’t go through everything just to lose his mate, he and the rest of the pack begin to search for him. Unfortunately for Maddie he wakes to the craziest place around and he is unsure if he will make it out alive. Will Temple find him before it’s too late or is one blissful night all they have to cherish?
For fans of the series this was definitely a welcome addition and kind of coming of age for the next generation. Although Temple was a hybrid, to me he was a very strong character since his wolf was so unpredictable because he couldn’t change he was definitely the more dominant of the pair. I could relate to wanting to find your own place and his wanting to go to school in order to make something of himself. The love he had for Maddie was deep and sweet even though initially he didn’t know Maddie was his mate; he still wanted him and wanted to protect him. Maddie was just a very sweet and loving wolf shifter. Despite being a weaker wolf he embraced who he was and accepted his limitations. The fact that he was willing to let Temple find himself even though he knew Temple was his mate and it might lead him to loving someone else was admirable. When they did finally get their heads out of their behinds and get together it was very cute and just makes you want to squish them. I do not recommend that this be read as a stand alone. I loved that there was a plot besides the immediate mate bond, and I look forward to the next book in the series. If you are looking for a sweet romance, mixed with a bit of a thrill then this is the series and book for you.
