"He's not a wolf."

Devastated by the death of his best friend, Zio is a soldier with one thing on his mind: revenge. Consumed by a conflict that's raged as long as he's been alive, he's had little time or inclination to learn the legends of the shifter world he was raised in. And he certainly doesn't have time to deal with a shifter of a different kind, even if it's for the good of the war effort. For the good of his pack. The fact that he's already crossed paths with the new face in his unit is almost irrelevant.

Almost.

Do no harm. Give life not death: it's the oath Devan was reborn to live by, so when he's sent abroad to embed with a wolf pack as their resident healer, he doesn't hesitate. In the supernatural world, some bonds are instant--soldiers become brothers, pack become family. But others run deeper and before long, Devan's at the mercy of instincts he can't control. Zio's inner wolf is desperate to be with Devan, while Devan struggles to keep the pack safe. But as the war escalates, and new love is tainted by anguish and pain, the battles within might prove the toughest of them all.

"I won't let him die."

My Rating - 3 Stars!

Not a huge fan of shapeshifters, I was surprised I enjoyed Fated Hearts. Of course, as a Garrett Leigh story, I had to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did.

The writing is sharp, with a fast pace and a compelling storyline. The characters are interesting and the action is well done.
That said, I am rating it 3 stars since I'm just not a huge fan of paranormal stories. If you are a paranormal fan, you will probably love Fated Hearts.

Blurb

King is not your typical sweet omega merman. He’s infamous for his explosive temper and his ability to let it ruin his life – which is why he’s in Vale Valley, jobless, homeless, and staying with his cousin and her husband, the sheriff of Vale Valley. He isn’t planning on take a job helping the new single dad in town remodel a house, and he really isn’t counting on the alpha being the one person he’s been waiting his whole life for.

When baby Anya came into his life, Jonah sold everything he owned in order to move to Vale Valley and open a daycare so he can build a life for the two of them. Anya and a run-down house on the lake are all he has, and wants, in this world. That is, until he meets a prickly omega with more than his fair share of baggage and kisses that melt Jonah’s brain every damn time.

But both men are hiding secrets that could destroy the fragile trust they’ve been building, and King’s determined not to let fate tell him who his mate should be. Even if Jonah is everything King’s ever wanted.

Fixer-Upper is the 16th book in season three of the popular Vale Valley series, where summer romance is in the air all year round, families are well-meaning even when you want them to go away, and surprise babies can be just what’s needed to help a couple of lonely souls build a home together.

A Summer Romance. 

Review 

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

EE Silver's Fixer-Upper is everything I usually avoid in a book; shifters and multiple types of shifters to be exact. But damn, it's really good. And I certainly am in love with the cover!

King and Jonah are an interesting pair who meet in Vale Valley. Both men have their share of secrets, but they can't resist one another. King's an omega merman with a large family history, and Jonah's an alpha who's raising baby Anya by himself.

As Jonah is working to open a daycare, King is around to help him. The men face their share of family issues, in addition to recovering from bad relationships in the past. The two are definitely great together, as well as hot, with some steamy scenes. Their tale is full of secrets and lies, which cause some decent angst throughout.

One of the great surprised is that King and Jonah don't stick to their usual stereotypes. I really enjoyed this surprise. As well, these two truly want to be together based on their time together, not just because of their fate.

My first EE Silver read, I was impressed with the writing. The pace is good, with a great flow. The characters are well developed, and the storyline is definitely entertaining. 

Overall, Fixer-Upper is a super cute book. I don't seek out books like this, but I really enjoyed it. It really focuses on the couple and their growing relationship, rather than the fantasy side of their worlds, which is a plus to me. Now I'm excited for the winter novella staring King and Jonah.
