Even though their relationship moves quickly, Jorie and Lou have great chemistry. Each step they take closer to one another felt like a natural progression to me. More than once I wished that I could continue following their lives as both women are fascinating individuals.

While their sex scene was quite well written and erotic, as I was reading it I thought it should have happened later on in the plot due to some things the reader learns about one of the character’s pasts. After finishing the whole thing I came to understand why the author made this decision, though, and I now agree that it was ultimately the best choice for character and plot development.

Unfortunately, there are multiple run-on sentences and grammatical errors in this tale. In most cases I was easily able to decipher what the author intended to say, but once or twice the absence of a word or punctuation mark muddled or completely changed the meaning of certain sentences. If not for these issues, this story would have earned a much higher rating.

The world building is fairly complex for something this length. I finished it wishing I could know more about the social and political structures in their packs as what I learned about the way their society is set up was sometimes unexpected. A subplot involving something from one of the character’s pasts also added depth to the current conflicts, and while I figured out what was happening with it early on I really enjoyed seeing how everything unfolds.

I’d recommend Mated Forever to anyone who loves shape-shifting stories. It’s a great example of this sub genre, and I will be mentioning this book to everyone I know who is a fan of it.
