Part of Fated Mates: an MM Paranormal Romance Charity Anthology!
No one appreciates a skunk! Pierre is used to being shunned—he knows he’s not like others, even those of his own kind. When his misfiring ass results in him losing another job, he follows his instincts and climbs aboard the next bus to Salem, Massachusetts.
Fate steps in to deliver Pierre directly to his mate, Eliphas, outside the doors of Enchanted Ink. They bond quickly but Pierre knows something Eliphas doesn’t—they have a third.
Finding one fated mate does not mean Happily Ever After. Eliphas has reasons for not wanting to rock the boat and seek their third. It isn’t long before Pierre’s patience wears thin and, despite Eliphas’s warnings that messing with Fate has consequences, Pierre goes searching for answers.
Their mate is out there—somewhere—and Pierre intends to find him.

4 out of 5 (very good)
One thing I love about J.P. Sayle stories is that she comes up with different shifters and problems. For instance, in A SCENT LIKE NO OTHER, Pierre is a skunk shifter and has faulty anal glands. Now, hand on heart, I can honestly say I've never read about either of those before. I'm just glad he wasn't called Pepé! 😁
Along with Pierre, we have Eliphas, a mage who works well with his ancestors' crystals, as well as being an amazing tattoo artist, specialising in protection. Pierre knows they are a triad, but it comes as a shock to Eli. This leads to cross-purposes, as Eli isn't sure he'd be happy with a third, not when he has Pierre. But Pierre has always known and, now he's got Eli, he wants to know when they'll meet their third. This leads to Pierre doing a spell without Eli's knowledge, which opens a whole can of worms he wasn't expecting.
A great introduction to these two characters, and I look forward to reading more.

Where does one start with about what I do?
I’m a writer, but I’m sure you guessed that by now if you’re reading this, hey?
What you might not know is I’m a little quirky, live in my pj’s most of the time and have cake Saturdays with my sisters every week. I dedicate a little of my time to taking care of my grandbabies and on the dedicated writing days, I like to write an eclectic mix of romance, suspense and paranormal fantasy. In the main, I’ve written gay romance but I’m branching out under another the pen name in the future, so watch this space.
I’ve got a passion for books like you would not believe and it led me down this path and now I’ve over 29 books released and heading towards releasing a whole lot more. The way my head is I never know where I’ll be headed next. I hope you’ll find a little joy in my words and follow me to see where the journey takes me and you.
If you’re interested at some point in 2021 I’ll be writing under the name JP Paton which will be F/M crime and Fantasy two of my favourite things. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
