Lost Mate Kindle Edition

Wolf shifter Falco Gladstone knew Carter McCloud was his mate when they were in seventh grade, but school and the foster care system tore them apart. Years later, Falco is second in command of his Michigan pack, serving under an uncle who cares more about his own power than the welfare of their people. The alpha orders Falco to marry and produce offspring—but Falco’s already found his mate, and mates are forever.

Carter’s lonely life is turned upside down when he detects a familiar scent on the wind. The mates might have found each other, but their happily ever after is far from guaranteed. Falco’s commitment to Carter puts him at odds with his uncle’s plans, and when one of the alpha’s enforcers starts shadowing the couple, something must be done—something that will either cement their relationship or destroy it once and for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting shifter romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017
I love shifter stories. I mean I really love them. And this is one I really got into. It’s a novella, so it can be read in one sitting, and has its fair share of angst, the kind that is common in wolf pack stories – evil Alphas, challenges to the death, homophobic characters.
Falco was a child when his father, the Alpha of their pack, was killed in a fire. Falco’s father chose his beta Martin to succeed him until Falco was old enough to become a successful Alpha. Martin and his same sex partner took care of the pack until Falco’s twisted, homophobic uncle Claude challenged him for the position of Alpha. Claude became the next Alpha of a pack that had become poor. Claude decided to run the pack finances into the ground in an effort to enrich himself.
Falco met Carter when they were children, but Carter disappeared with his family soon after that meeting, leaving Falco to search for years for his fated mate. When they finally meet again, the pack is in disarray. Falco has to make some difficult choices for himself, his partner, and his pack. Lots of danger and risk is involved in any choice he might make. You will have to read carefully to find out the motives behind Claude’s homophobia and there is another character who seems dumb and evil that you wind up actually feeling sorry for. Watch for it. This is a sign of a talented author when your emotions as a reader can change in one paragraph.
Carter is a sweet packless shifter who owns a pet shop in town. It takes a bit of time for Falco to make sure Carter understands that he is Falco’s chosen mate but when they do, sealing that partnership is hot as heck, and Carter’s backbone turns out to be a lot stronger than you might have expected.
I loved this novella and look forward to more stories about this shifter wolf pack. They are so poor, will Falco find a way to drag them back from the edges of poverty? That isn’t part of the HEA that involves Falco and Carter, but surely that is coming. Exciting reading and a book I can recommend to anyone who enjoys MM romance, shifter stories, and a good vs evil plot.

The first time Falco Gladstone saw Carter McCloud he knew he found his mate but circumstances took Carter from his life now many years later once again Carter walks back into his life. Problem is that his uncle is the new alpha after defeating the previous alpha because he had a male mate. Will Falco be able to create a life with Carter or will he follow his alpha's order to marry and further the family line with plenty of offspring?

Lost Mate is a quick read, not because there is not much to the story or even because of its shorter length. Its a quick read because its fun with just the perfect blend of romance, drama, paranormal, and plenty of heart. Don't get me wrong, when I say its fun I don't mean there isn't heartache and tension. Trust me Falco has enough on his plate with his uncle's homophobic bigotry and his uncle's enforcer's wanting to be beta, but it all meshes together brilliantly.

This is the third story of Dirk Gentry's that I have read and it won't be the last. Who's to say Lost Mate wouldn't have been even better had it been a full length novel as opposed to its novella status but for this reader I found it to be just right. Lost is also one of those stories that you know where its going to end up before you even finish the first chapter but as I often say, as in life it isn't always where you end up but how you get there and that is exactly what Falco and Carter's story is about: the journey. A great little addition to my paranormal's shifter library.

I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads

3.5 Stars

Dirk Greyson is a new-to-me author, and I found the writing style easy to read, with a rapid flow, and beyond sugary sweet.

Lost Mate starts when Falco is only 13- Carter is being bullied, and Falco tries to save the day, only to be hit with an unmistakable need. In the weeks that follow, Falco tried to get to know his mate, only to have the boy up and disappear, never to be heard from again.

In the present, Falco is dealing with his homophobic uncle as the newest alpha. I was a bit confused at the 180 his uncle had gone through. In the prologue, the uncle was considered the paternal figure in Falco's life, as the father was busy being alpha. Falco talked highly of his uncle, but in present time, the man was a nightmare.

Falco instantaneously recognizes Carter's scent in town, and the mating dance begins...

I won't go into further detail, as this is a very short novella, and I'd spoil the plot. Overall, I was entertained. The romance was syrupy sweet, a bit too much for me to be honest. It happened at warp-speed, even for a fated mate storyline. The villains in the story had single-minded focus, and saw little else.

I think what I found most difficult was how wooden/stilted the dialogue felt- most people don't speak in such a perfect manner: the flow wasn't natural, no slang or cussing, answering questions not asked out of nowhere, over-explaining, going into details to tell the story instead of showing the story. The book didn't delve too deeply, just riding on the surface of the story, without any real human emotions being sparked.

Lost Mate was an easy read- I'd call it a comfort read. The conflict wasn't stressful, the reader knowing everything was going to be okay. The between-the-sheets action was more fade-to-black, and the story was devoid of swearing. This was a sugary sweet, clean romance, that I'm sure will please fans of the author and those looking for a relaxing fated mates type of romance without any stressful angst and/or conflict.
