BLURB:

His boy deserved better. He deserved to be the centre of someone’s world.

Luca stumbled on something he shouldn’t have and now someone’s trying to kill him. If only he knew what and who. He hates that he has to use his hacking skills against his own pack as he hunts down the traitor. He hates it even more when his Alpha sends him away for his safety. Hex-Rated—the hottest gay nightclub in New Trinity—is the last place he expected to be hiding out. The water witch who owns it better keep his damn hands to himself.

Cal has no time for the three crime families that run the city. He’s worked hard to keep his club on the right side of the law. That’s all put at risk when a favour for a friend has him faking a relationship with a Mafia wolf shifter. Luca’s a criminal and there’s no way Cal would go there for real. Even if the shifter brings out every protective instinct in him. Even if Luca is so good for him despite himself.

His Mate By Resistance is an enemies to lovers MM Paranormal Romance. It’s book two in the Lunetti Pack series, but can be read as a standalone. It features forced proximity, a fake relationship, knotting, a water witch Daddy, and magic sensory play. There is no mpreg in this world.

REVIEW:

No mate for wolf shifter Luca, it’s way too intrusive.
Luca is a hacker and a cousin of the pack leader, Marco.
Because of his work, someone is after him, trying to kill him.

Marco decides Lucas has to go to a safe place, the house of Calder the water witch, who will keep him safe. The pack is extremely protective of Luca. Even though he feels hugely suffocated by them, he also feels abandoned.

There is a fact you have to know about Luca, he has been through awful things and is traumatized, which made him hate ever having a mate, and mistrust his wolf, so their connection is far from ideal. Cal can never find out!

Cal is a water witch, owner of a club, trying to stay on the legal side, having an attractive wolf shifter in his house who’s off limits, is a challenge, even more he’s coming from a criminal pack. Little does he know!

Luca is attracted to but also hostile to Cal. Cal? Dang, he’s super protective over Luca without being suffocating! It took some time but finally, Luca trusted Cal and gave over the reins, what a sight!
Still, Luca is the target and the ones who want him dead are serious about it, and Cal has his own problems.

I don’t want to spoil the important things, believe me when I say it’s all intriguing and exciting!
There are spells, healing forces, and action, and enough is going on with both main characters to make it an enjoyable and entertaining experience!

I loved this story, and loved the characters, Cal and Luca were great together, their dynamic was amazing!
The world the author created was wonderful, I’m a sucker for scents, the awareness of scents, and scent markings, I devoured and enjoyed it all very much!
Overall, it is an excellently written PNR fantasy story about packs, attacks, found family, hurt comfort, mating, and strong and arousing magic!
