Book 3 in the Survival of the Mated series
This is a Novella and the last in the series which I was disappointed about even though the first two books were similar I was really drawn to these books and read the whole series over a few days. Since you have most of the same Fae competing (minus the one that won the season before) it would have been nice to read some of the other guys stories... maybe with a little bit more drama.
It's almost like the author is just vaguely touching on the story and not getting into it too much since the books discuss that all these Fae males are "too" savage and possibly too dangerous for the Bachelorette version as these Fae are closer to their death, if they do not get a mate by a certain point in time they will fade from existence but none of the Fae males on the Island seemed all that dangerous in fact they seemed pretty mellow. The story focuses on Kyle who in the first book is kind of like a "bro" who is kind of obnoxious but over the course of the first two books the reader comes to find that Kyle is a loveable guy who is even helping other Fae get to the end even if it means sacrificing a possible match for himself in the process.
Launa is the new female lead of the sixth season of this survival show and she has watched all the other seasons and knows who she wants and hopefully if everything goes to plan she will end up as Kyle's mate in the end... hopefully he didn't win the previous season so he will still be there for her she has gone out of her way to get on this show instead of on the bachelorette like the Fae originally wanted her to be on.
Kyle wins the first task easily like he has during all the previous seasons of the show and intends to work with Launa to help her get to the end with the Fae she wants then he plans to enjoy his remaining few months with his family and see his little sister get married... that is until Launa is bold and tells her the guy she wants is him... this is unbelievable since he thinks that human women just don't like him.
Since this is a novella it is super short and everything happens pretty quickly it's kind of an insta love situation, immediate steam on the first date, the tasks are pretty much the same as from the first few books which again was disappointing it's almost like the author didn't want to think of new challenges for them (and even at the end in the authors note she writes about how she wanted Kyle to get his story but couldn't really think of a longer story for him so it came out short and sweet).
Even with the similarities throughout each book I enjoyed the series and would pick up a book by this author again.
*novella *short and sweet *happy ending *insta love *fae *romantasy *survival game show
*Virgin female *age gap (obviously since he's supposed to be like 300 years old) *some spice
possible spoiler:
There is really no drama, not really any conflicts in fact a lot of the guys don't even care about winning the date challenges since Launa spends time ignoring them when they are alone together on their date... pretty predictable and several days on the island and vote off of contestants is just a brief sentence. It was a bit disappointing that the author didn't really seem to put more time into Kyle's story since it could have been a lot better with some changes.
