BLURB:

Claiming my mate will destroy my pack.

Red: A steamy hook-up with Shayne is meant to be a once-off… Until I discover the tempting, human omega is my fated mate. Now I’m imagining whisking him away from his big city life, revealing the secret of wolf shifters, and raising pups with him in our small mountain town.

One huge problem — I’m the pack Alpha. I have boundaries to enforce, treaties to secure, and secrets to keep. And if I claim a mate, I’m bound by oath to pass the title to my deadbeat brother who is not ready for the responsibility.

I can’t put the Darlington pack at risk… But I’d do anything to keep Shayne.

Shayne: The town sign sums it up: “Darlington – Population ???” This place is off the map, literally. I’m here to see my suddenly-pregnant bestie, and then zoom back to my downtown corner office by Monday.

Fooling around with bold, woodsy alpha, Red, is a casual treat. Until I discover how unique, sincere, and kind he is… and start wanting to have his babies.

The commanding alpha clearly has me in his sights. Will his hunger for me blow up both of our lives?

Red Hot Fate is the first book in the Darlington Pack Series, featuring mpreg, a close-knit pack, family drama, and small town coziness to delve into. With a confident human omega and a daring wolf shifter alpha, this fated mate mm romance will have you rallying behind Shayne and Red until they get their guaranteed HEA!

REVIEW:

How lucky can I get? Yet another new author who is an amazing story teller and weaves a world where you can’t get enough and never want to leave.

Shayne is finally venturing out of the big city to visit his best friend Peter who gave up his successful business to go live in the woods with his handsome Alpha boyfriend. While deep in the woods and sure he is lost, Shayne has to suddenly slam on the brakes of his Corvette to not hit the huge, black wolf blocking the roadway. Afraid of everything wild in nature, Shayne feels some uncanny draw and trust to the stunning wolf. Red is Alpha Leader to his pack and on patrol. The stinky bears are up to something and he is ever vigilant. Being Alpha Leader since he was 16, when his father decided he needed the nomadic life again, Red has known nothing but being responsible, unlike his flaky twin brother Atlas, How is he going to turn over the reins of the pack, as he took an oath to his father, when all Atlas wants to do is drink and fool around with omegas. How he hasn’t got any of them pregnant yet is a miracle. When he comes in contact with the gorgeous blond omega while out on patrol his wolf knows who it just saw…his fated mate! And his wolf wants to claim him NOW! However two strong problems stand in his way. One, the omega is human. And two, he has to step down, according to the pact with his father, once he claimed his fated mate. Oh, and Atlas isn’t anywhere ready to take over. Heck he thought he he still had another two years to train him!

I can’t imagine what it was like for Shayne to learn about half wolves. And to discover that his “one” was indeed a half wolf. No, not just a half wolf but THE Alpha Leader of a pack of wolves. A pack of wolves that his BFF Peter has joined and become one! That had to have been a mind trip for sure. Here you are a successful Omega attorney in the city. Successful enough that you now have earned the corner office. Not bad for an slutty little omega according to his folks. But Peter’s family took him in and raised him as their own. And he showed everyone how successful he could be. But one trip into the small woodsy community and his life and goals changed forever. But can Red actually convince him to give it all up and become lifelong mates and parents?

This is an awesome start to a whole new universe for me. I have discovered there is a prequel story that is Jonathan and Peter’s and I can’t wait to read that. And next month we get Atlas’s story. This book does have a well deserved HEA for Red and Shayne however we are left with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end so I can’t wait for the next book. I hope we will get more of the pack’s stories in the future.
