BLURB:
Loner Matt Urban has somehow ended up as alpha to a pack of outcasts and misfits. When Jesse Turner, a scruffy stranger with a bad attitude, turns up on his doorstep one night, Matt’s blindsided to discover he and Jesse are mates. He’s still coming to terms with the realization when a hostile alpha claims Jesse as his own.

Excerpt
Matt was some considerable way through the Blue Oyster’s stock of whisky when a hat was laid down on the table in front of him. He blinked at it, confused. He hadn’t ordered a hat, had he? Nope, whisky didn’t sound like hat in any language he knew. And then he blinked his way up from the hat to find Bryce sitting down opposite him. Oh. Figured.
“Matt.” Bryce didn’t sound pissed the way he usually was when Matt drank. He sounded gentle, and Matt didn’t like that. He was Matt Urban, not one of Bryce’s lame ducks.
“What the hell do you want, Bryce?”
“I was wondering what you’re doing sitting here, rather than out there solving Elk Ridge’s sudden crime spree.”
“Lunch break,” Matt said succinctly, raising his glass and draining it.
“And the fact you’re more drunk than I’ve seen you in five years has nothing to do with that scrawny-assed, cantankerous kid back at the ranch.”
“Jesse’s ass ain’t scrawny,” Matt shot back, then frowned. Damn it, Jesse had got Matt talking like him. “And he’s not a kid, either.”
“Jesse’s not a kid the way Tristan is,” Bryce agreed. “I reckon he’s seen more than most. But the thing is, he is a kid in other ways. What is he, twenty-one? He knows nothing about shifters, and suddenly finding out he’s mate to a brooding, bossy bastard—”
“Hey,” Matt objected, but no one was listening to him.
“He probably doesn’t know which way’s up right now. The last thing he needs is you going on a tear. He’ll run, Matt, if you don’t do this right, and you’ll have lost him.”

An Impossible Mate by Joy Lynn FieldingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, I would like to thank the author Joy Lynn Fielding for giving me this book for an honest review. I liked the various characters, they each had their own personality, their antics were quite amusing to down right funny at times. I would have liked a bit more background, but other than that the story flowed quite nicely.

I like the blurb about misfits pack and enjoyed the excerpt. Not quite what Matt expected for his mate.
