These books keep getting better and better！This standalone is part of the previous worlds and it follows Beth as she goes through her own ups and downs。。So many emotional scenes and I loved her way of thinking。It was very realistic and the book kept me on the edge till the end！Good one。Cant wait to read more。。

'Chosen Mate' is presented as a standalone story but is the first in the second trilogy set in the series。 It gives background to Shadow's past with her ex-fated mate Dante。 She's crushing hard on her friend Rhyker which eventually his past catches up with him forcing to him acknowledge his feelings for Shadow。 Her rejection gift is a little all over the place， and the ex wanting to reassume his role in her life makes for a wild and crazy triangle。 Can't wait to read more of Ryker and Shadow。I r 'Chosen Mate' is presented as a standalone story but is the first in the second trilogy set in the series。 It gives background to Shadow's past with her ex-fated mate Dante。 She's crushing hard on her friend Rhyker which eventually his past catches up with him forcing to him acknowledge his feelings for Shadow。 Her rejection gift is a little all over the place， and the ex wanting to reassume his role in her life makes for a wild and crazy triangle。 Can't wait to read more of Ryker and Shadow。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This is the fourth installment of the Rejected Mate series but can be read as a standalone since it focuses on different protagonists than the trilogy。 I would definitely recommend reading the first three， not only because it helps for worldbuilding and understanding other characters， but also because they are such a fun read！ However， you can also definitely just pick this one up if you don't want to take the time or invest in a trilogy， it holds its own and also I think you would be able to ma This is the fourth installment of the Rejected Mate series but can be read as a standalone since it focuses on different protagonists than the trilogy。 I would definitely recommend reading the first three， not only because it helps for worldbuilding and understanding other characters， but also because they are such a fun read！ However， you can also definitely just pick this one up if you don't want to take the time or invest in a trilogy， it holds its own and also I think you would be able to make sense of most of what happens in the novel。I really liked the protagonists in Chosen Mate， Shadow was so strong and I really respected her convictions and how she always stayed true to herself。 It is a friends-to-lovers trope which is a favourite of mine， and I thought it was so sweetly pulled off。 I'm happy with the twists and turns this book turned， and the person she ended up with！ Overall， heart warming romance with some fun suspense！ 。。。more

This book was mehI didn't care for this book。 I felt like there wasn't a story or the story was all over the place compared to Knox and Cara's story。 To me this book repeated it's self alot。 For example shadow kept mentioning Dante rejected her most of the book， which is a known and got old very quick。 I also felt like shadow was all over the place， one min the shadows are pulling her one place next up she's in South America？ I'm confused how did we go from Colorado to Canada to Argentina。 Then This book was mehI didn't care for this book。 I felt like there wasn't a story or the story was all over the place compared to Knox and Cara's story。 To me this book repeated it's self alot。 For example shadow kept mentioning Dante rejected her most of the book， which is a known and got old very quick。 I also felt like shadow was all over the place， one min the shadows are pulling her one place next up she's in South America？ I'm confused how did we go from Colorado to Canada to Argentina。 Then while there there still wasn't any story that benefited the book。 Honestly this book could of been cut in half。 Lola Glass has definitely written better books。 。。。more

Familiar Love ❤ Lola has a wonderful way of weaving realistic relationships into a paranormal tapestry。 What really stood out to me was how genuine Shadow's relationship with her love interest are in this story。 Pack that in with witty commentary， fluffy wolves and a plot that never stops moving and you have the perfect binge read。 I can't wait for the next one。 Familiar Love ❤ Lola has a wonderful way of weaving realistic relationships into a paranormal tapestry。 What really stood out to me was how genuine Shadow's relationship with her love interest are in this story。 Pack that in with witty commentary， fluffy wolves and a plot that never stops moving and you have the perfect binge read。 I can't wait for the next one。 。。。more

I really wanted a book about Shadow and Ryker since I first read about them in the Rejected Mate Refuge Trilogy and this book didn’t disappoint！ I like the back story on Ryker to help you understand him better and I loved all of the action in this one。 It really made the pages turn quickly！ Jump into this book for a great follow up to the trilogy。 You won’t be disappointed！

Yes yes I know I say every Lola Glass book is my favorite。 But she just keeps writing great stories！ I knew Shadow and Ryker’s story was gonna be great。 From all we get of them in the previous trilogy， I couldn’t wait to get to their story。 I loved getting to know them better。 Shadow is amazing and so strong。 I liked seeing more of how her rejection gift worked and how things can get crazy with it。 There’s a lot of action in this one and some set up for future stories。 I adore Ryker！ It was grea Yes yes I know I say every Lola Glass book is my favorite。 But she just keeps writing great stories！ I knew Shadow and Ryker’s story was gonna be great。 From all we get of them in the previous trilogy， I couldn’t wait to get to their story。 I loved getting to know them better。 Shadow is amazing and so strong。 I liked seeing more of how her rejection gift worked and how things can get crazy with it。 There’s a lot of action in this one and some set up for future stories。 I adore Ryker！ It was great to get his backstory and learn even more about him。 Ryker and Shadow’s relationship from friends to lovers to sort of friends to lovers again was so cute and angsty。 There’s good tension and I loved seeing Shadow and her wolf’s dynamic too。 This was a great follow up to the rejected mate trilogy and I can’t wait for more stories in this world！ As always， I highly highly recommend picking up this and every other Lola Glass story！！！！ 。。。more

I truly enjoyed Shadow and Ryker's story。 This book really delved into the past of both characters。 We get to see where Ryker came from and why， as well as meeting Shadows fated mate Dante。 I love the insecurities and life lessons that are woven into the story。 I am looking forward to the next story in this series。 I truly enjoyed Shadow and Ryker's story。 This book really delved into the past of both characters。 We get to see where Ryker came from and why， as well as meeting Shadows fated mate Dante。 I love the insecurities and life lessons that are woven into the story。 I am looking forward to the next story in this series。 。。。more

I’ve been long waiting to get more inside of shadows story and I wasn’t disappointed。 I love how she held herself together and stayed true to herself。 She also didn’t let herself be manipulated by anyone。 I love how it shows that forgiving doesn’t always mean that you rollover and let them have fair game to hurt you again。 Ryder and Shadow was just my favorite。 Lina is a disgrace she got off way too easy and deserved who she ended up with although I would’ve preferred if she ended up alone。 Ther I’ve been long waiting to get more inside of shadows story and I wasn’t disappointed。 I love how she held herself together and stayed true to herself。 She also didn’t let herself be manipulated by anyone。 I love how it shows that forgiving doesn’t always mean that you rollover and let them have fair game to hurt you again。 Ryder and Shadow was just my favorite。 Lina is a disgrace she got off way too easy and deserved who she ended up with although I would’ve preferred if she ended up alone。 There was definitely more of a female vibe to this book compared to the others and I liked that。 I feel like Shadow came into her own person wholly。 。。。more

Shadow & Ryker’s StoryI in thinking this was “Shadow’s book” but it’s really an even split between Shadow and Ryker。 They both get a chance to confront the demons of their past and heal。 In Ryker’s case， his demons have nothing to do with being rejected which was a nice departure。 I also loved that there are two characters who are jerks。 The author doesn’t make them villains or give them a redemption story。 They are simply jerks which is something we’ve all come across over the years and had to Shadow & Ryker’s StoryI in thinking this was “Shadow’s book” but it’s really an even split between Shadow and Ryker。 They both get a chance to confront the demons of their past and heal。 In Ryker’s case， his demons have nothing to do with being rejected which was a nice departure。 I also loved that there are two characters who are jerks。 The author doesn’t make them villains or give them a redemption story。 They are simply jerks which is something we’ve all come across over the years and had to deal with。 I actually love that there is no resolution with this since often we don’t get resolution with the jerks in our lives， we just have to accept them。 。。。more

I love Ryker🥰， and Lola didn't disappoint on the story for Shadow and him。 I was also glad to get to see all the previous characters from the Rejected Mates Refuge， and how they all pull together and form one big family。 Shadow and Ryker are a strong couple and it was awesome to watch them fight for one another。 I love Ryker🥰， and Lola didn't disappoint on the story for Shadow and him。 I was also glad to get to see all the previous characters from the Rejected Mates Refuge， and how they all pull together and form one big family。 Shadow and Ryker are a strong couple and it was awesome to watch them fight for one another。 。。。more

Another one I really enjoyed reading this book。 I find the idea and lesson behind the stories are important for people to understand。 People hurt other people and how one grows and develops from the situation is based entirely on them and not the other person。 Your happiness is dependent upon you and no one else。

I enjoyed this story with all the interesting characters and the touch of suspense that was happening。 Kept reading to see how things would go and how it would end。 Who would the plucky girl end up with and how would it really go down。 Entertaining and fun and made me laugh and shake my head。

I really loved this book。 Ryker and Shadow started as friends so they have a fun teasing relationship which I love。 Yeah， they have things that they have to deal with but they're still fun。 You get to know the other girls more。 It's a standalone but at the end you feel completely satisfied。 I really loved this book。 Ryker and Shadow started as friends so they have a fun teasing relationship which I love。 Yeah， they have things that they have to deal with but they're still fun。 You get to know the other girls more。 It's a standalone but at the end you feel completely satisfied。 。。。more

Good SeriesI really enjoyed the first 2 books in this trilogy。 Lola Glass presented a unique take on the rejected mate trope & wrote well rounded characters。 The third book was also good， but not as great as it could have been。 The last 1/4 of Chosen Mate felt a little rushed to wrap up the storyline & the time jumps took me out of the story a little bit。 However， I’d recommend the series to fans of the rejected mate shifter romances。

This book is a standalone set in the same world as the Rejected Mate Refuge trilogy。 Here we follow Cara and Knox’s friends， Shadow and Ryker， as they try to navigate the fact that they each have deep feelings for the other， but neither knows。 Things are brought to a head when Shadow， originally known as Beth’s， ex-fated mate shows up at the refuge and wants to claim her again。 While Beth is angry as hell and less than interested， her Wolf， Shadow， is willing to perhaps test things out and the c This book is a standalone set in the same world as the Rejected Mate Refuge trilogy。 Here we follow Cara and Knox’s friends， Shadow and Ryker， as they try to navigate the fact that they each have deep feelings for the other， but neither knows。 Things are brought to a head when Shadow， originally known as Beth’s， ex-fated mate shows up at the refuge and wants to claim her again。 While Beth is angry as hell and less than interested， her Wolf， Shadow， is willing to perhaps test things out and the conflict causes some issues。 Ryker， who has been Beth’s best friend， confidante， and partner in crime for years， knows she needs to resolve things with Dante， but is also terrified to lose her。 Wow， does Lola know how to write scenes with a big emotional punch。 Every time I read one of her books it becomes more and more difficult to put them down。 There have been moments in her other novels where I got nervous for our love interests， moments where I felt angry or hurt on their behalf， but this was the first time I felt a deep， burning， passionate， consistent anger where I wanted to reach into the book and just smack the shit out of a character。 While Cara had had to deal with an abusive， psychotic ex-mate， Beth having to deal with Dante was a more consistent feature in the book and he was infuriating。 This was also a book where while it’s a standalone， it didn’t feel completely like a one off。 I’d already grown to know these characters through the original trilogy and this just felt like coming home in a way。 I loved seeing the “Momma Alpha” of the pack find the happy ending she deserved。 Beth/Shadow truly found herself， her place in life， and her chosen mate and it was a fantastic journey。 。。。more

This spin off with Shadow。 If you read the Wolf Tamer series you kind of know who she is going to end up with。 But I enjoyed the back story。 The events that take place and how they finally communicate so that there are no misunderstandings between the two。 Enjoyed the storyline and the flow。 Can’t wait for the next one with Taylor。 :）**received ARC for my honest review ***

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW of Chosen Mate by Lola Glass， the fourth story in the Rejected Mates series。 I absolutely fell into Rhyker and Shadow's story。 After Cara and Knox's story and the drama and adventure of the wolf tamer in the first three books， I really was wondering if the next story in the series would be able to keep up。。。 Heck Yeah it did！ Presented as a stand alone story that ties into the main storyline， we learn about Shadow's past and meet her ex-fated mate Dante。 Things heat This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW of Chosen Mate by Lola Glass， the fourth story in the Rejected Mates series。 I absolutely fell into Rhyker and Shadow's story。 After Cara and Knox's story and the drama and adventure of the wolf tamer in the first three books， I really was wondering if the next story in the series would be able to keep up。。。 Heck Yeah it did！ Presented as a stand alone story that ties into the main storyline， we learn about Shadow's past and meet her ex-fated mate Dante。 Things heat up when we get Rhyker's past intruding into his present and he is forced to face his feelings for Shadow or lose her。 Add witches， Shadow's rejection gift going rabid and an ex that won't quit and you have an amazing story that will keep you riveted to your seat。 From start to finish， this story pulls you in and punches your ticket on an emotional rollercoaster that you want to keep riding！ Mature Readers Suggested。This honest and voluntary review was made possible by obtaining a copy through Booksprout。 。。。more
