Two very different men with a tumultuous history must overcome challenges from all sides and see past their society’s rules to realize they are destined for one another.

Raised to become Alpha of the Yafenack pack, Samuel Goodwin dedicates his life to studying shifter laws, strengthening his body, and learning from his father. But despite his best efforts, Samuel can’t relate to people, including those he's supposed to lead.

When Samuel meets Korban Keller, the son of a neighboring pack's Alpha, he reacts with emotion instead of intellect for the first time in his life. Resenting the other shifter for throwing him off-balance, Samuel first tries to intimidate Korban and then desperately avoids him. What he can't do is forget Korban's warm eyes, easy smile, and happy personality.

When a battle between their fathers ends tragically, Samuel struggles to lead his pack while Korban works to break through Samuel’s emotional barriers. Two very different men with a tumultuous history must overcome challenges from all sides and see past their society’s rules to realize they are destined for one another.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014

    So well worth the wait, as always Cardeno C delivered again. I had been looking forward to this 3rd book in "The Mates Series", of which I am a big fan and I must say that I was very pleased. I read it all in one go. I found the MC's very easy to like. The story is told from Samuel's perspective and gives us an insight to his internal turmoils. The fact that Samuel was so serious,studious and thrived to excel by being the best in everything and was well versed in the Pack law and was determined to be the best and strongest Alpha ever but was unfortunately emotionally challenged gave him an endearing quality.Ever since he was 8years old when he first laid his eyes on Korban Keller, whenever he was around him, he always experienced emotions he could not understand and that made him off balance , confused and angry. As he grew older he found it more difficult to hold on to his human side and even though he guessed the reason for this, he did not know what to do about it . He knew that it was only a matter of time before he lost himself to his wolf side but did not know that his saviour would come in the form of the presumptive Alpha from the neighbouring Miancarem pack and his secret obsession Korban Keller .
    On the other hand, Korban had known whom Samuel was to him since he was 11years okay and had patiently hoped over the years that Samuel would realise what they were to each other, 'True Mates'. Korban was the exact opposite of Samuel, he was amiable, easy going and was beloved by many. A threat to the pack by a challenge from Dirk Keller, Korban's father which resulted in a tragedy brought these two face to face again and it finally dawned on Samuel what had been missing from his life all along, his True mate. It was a big wake up call for Samuel, because he realised that some of the Pack guides and laws that he had studied most of his life was not only inaccurate but was wrong as he was a living proof of it. On the positive side, he was more grounded having found his true mate and together they face the challenges and threats that reared it's ugly head. This book was well written, it had all the markings of a great shifter novel, Love, action, drama and great sex , let's not forget a HEA. (It was also lovely to hear that ETHAN and MIGUEL were still doing great after so many generations together ) What more can one ask for? I highly recommend this book to all lovers of great shifter romance novels.

    This installment of the Mates series was very good like the previous two books. However, I don't feel that is up in par with the two previous books. This book have a wonderful plot, but it was a bit slow on the uptake. There were too many rules and regulations about packs, and not enough of a love story. The characters of Samuel Goodwin and Korban Keller make a very good couple. I just wish there were more of the story devoted for them to be together. There were also some issues still up in the air. The fact that there were no closure on what is going to happen to the Miancaren Pack, now that they don't have an Alpha. Will the author pick up on that issue on his next mates series? That will remains to be seen. I will suggest reading the Mates Series in order. Start with Wake me up Inside; next, Until Forever Comes. The latter one is one of my favorite. Carderno C. is one of my favorite author, and I highly recommend him.

    I almost didn't read this book. It was too long for a Sunday night, it started off too dull, and I have so many other books to read. I'd already been disappointed by Papa John's BBQ wings I was not ready for more. Yet I forced myself to continue reading as I enjoyed the a nice summer evening on the back porch with the animals. I pushed myself even when I wanted to stop and it was well worth it.
    Finally the story came together after a sudden violent confrontation. I felt so sorry for the MC who narrated the book. I shared his parents frustration at his inability to understand emotions. He was was so robotic without any affect. The conflict between his wolf and his human was painful to see. His treatment of his only friend was abominable over the years, but he was just being himself.
    After he became an adult his life was if anything harder. He and his family experienced some terrible times before things began to turn around. Coming to terms with having a male mate was extremely difficult for him and other wolves in his & surrounding packs. His mate was truly made for him. The ying to his yang. The Cheech to his Chong. I was glad to see him with someone who understood him. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especially to The Mates series fans and those of you who've never enjoyed them.

    I was expecting worse so I actually enjoyed it. It’s simple and low angst with a HEA ending though no epilogue. Considering its fated mates it’s not as instalove as some of the other stories. They knew each other since childhood and didn’t get together till later in life. It makes mentioned of the other characters from previous books but only in passing.

    I'm a fan of Cardeno C and enjoyed this book. I love the fact it's told from Samuels perspective. He's clearly a guy who has no clue how to interact with anyone and to say he's unemotional is an understatement so it's great how he comments on something and you know he got it totally wrong. It really added to the book. Every time he met Korban when they were children he is useless and its a wonder they ever manage to get together. They do however and both characters are very endearing. It's not a book that's packed with sex scenes (it takes half the book for Samuel to get a clue) but they are there and like everything else well written. Nice comfortable read

    I let you imagine when i saw that the 3rd books from the series was avaible. I simply love the author's way of writting those books !!!
    You can help but fall for the caracters who brings us into a paranormal society can be a hit if the writting's is as awesome has it been for the previous book ! Books by this author should always come first because es all know that we are all gonna love it :)

    I started this book and i first i was wondering what could arrive how he is gonna surprise us!
    And of course throughtout the books i could see myself and my bf when we argue it was pretty good since in thos case twas more than redaing it was also the fact that i see the caracters as i was part of the story wich is for us simply awwwwesome !!! Since that doesnt happen often. Thats how you you wont regret getting this book
    I will recommend any fans of Cardeno C to get this book aswell since it's perfect like the previous series or book that we've had the chance to read !!!!!!! You dont meet authors who are so damn talented !!!! This series is on greatest one !!!!!
