Forged Redemption is the fifth and final book in the Tribal Spirits series, and we finally get Drew's story. Drew and Ally were a couple way back when, before they even really knew about mates. As such, they were together, they broke up, rinse and repeat. These two somehow find the time to sew their relationship back together, through distrust and mortal peril! As well as that, the ultimate battle is drawing to a close, and no one knows who will live to see the outcome.

As with all of Katherine McIntyre books, this was an absolute winner! The writing is tight with no unnecessary parts. Everything is there for a reason! The relationship between Ally and Drew is sensitively written considering their pasts. There are steamy moments that add to the story, definitely not distracting from the arc storyline.

I am sad to see this series come to an end, but at the same time, I am excited to see what Ms. McIntyre will bring next. I highly recommend both this finale and the whole series!

PUPPY PRIDE is part of the Pride Summer Camp 2025 series and features Jai, who had to leave his life behind due to his secret being exposed, and Demetrius, whose son is going to the Camp for a two-week stay.

Although Jai and Demetrius are the main characters and do have a lot of page time, they are surrounded by a multitude of couples, who, I'm guessing, have all had their stories told in other books. If you haven't read them (as I haven't), then you might get all the couples and names mixed up (as I did!) It did take some of the onus away from Jai and Demetrius, which I thought was a shame, as I would have liked to see their relationship with each other develop, and also Jai's relationship with Demetrius' children.

I did enjoy this story, but I felt as though it was just lacking something, and I'm not sure what. This was a sweet second-chance romance with a hint of Daddy/puppy play.

HEPHAESTUS is the fifth book in the Mythologay series but the first one I have read.

If you are anyone who knows anything about the Greek Gods, then you will have some idea who Hephaestus is. In this story, you learn more about his birth, upbringing, and relationship with Hera. And then there is his relationship Hestio, the God of Family and Hearth, to name just a couple of his titles.

The pacing of this book is fairly fast, involving a bit of telling and now showing. This meant I was unable to have as much connection with the characters as I like, especially the main ones. I found this to be a rather gentle read that didn't require too much from me.

One thing I did find a little odd - Priapus. If he was indeed cursed to have an erection at all times but when he actually wanted one, then Hestio was never really in any danger, now was he?!

Anyway, an enjoyable read.
