The Wolf Who Fought for His Soul Mate (Mate or Meal #12) by Scarlet Hyacinth

Claim or cower? Tainted by his mother’s machinations, Paris Marrow blames himself for her actions and seeks redemption. The only one who believes in him is his mate, Jace Wade. However, Jace is all too aware of Paris’s emotional vulnerability and is reluctant to force Paris into a connection he might not be ready for. At the same time, Paris feels unworthy of the other wolf’s affection, the mistreatment and loneliness of his childhood overcoming his sense of self-respect.

Even as the two wolves bond, their future remains threatened by their past. Paris and Jace embark on a quest to find Paris’s mother and her warlock ally. But the warlock’s plan is far more sinister than any of them expected. Paris will have to face his own fears, and fight for his soul mate. Can he find the necessary strength? Can Jace’s love wipe away the doubts and pain in Paris’s soul?

As usual I really enjoyed this story, with it being in one of my favorite series the Mate or Meal takes on a whole new level of paranormals and what is expected of them. This one was a little different since it's about two wolves instead of two different shifters but it's also kind of a continuing of the previous story, since it's Anser's son Paris' story and the search for his mother who tried to kill his father's mate Reed.

Paris & Jace's relationship is not the front and center of this book it's more centered on the mystery and dealing with Paris' insecurities. I really liked that it concentrated on those, even though I really didn't like the way the other pack members treated him. I did think that Jace & Paris work well as mates and enjoyed the Hot sex scenes between the two. I really can't wait to read the next one which I believe may be about Jace' brother. I recommend
