The Holland Brothers

This review was written almost two years ago but was recently edited for content So I hope this help new readers begin their journey into the world of MM e books .

I have read all four of Toni Griffin Holland Brother"Mate series" and I adore it.

 The first book Unexpected mate was sweet and endearing with Marcus Holland unexpectedly  meeting his mate Brian Townsand  on the side of the road when Brian's car has a flat after having being disowned by him parents and his birth pack. 

 Ever the heterosexual male Marcus was thrown for a loop to see that his destined mate is a male.  Marcus made a total jackass of himself but will understanding from his mate and boy did he have to work on forgives from his mate. Eventhough he was forgiven their relationship started with a bump and had a little side detoure in the way of a not a natural bold hussy in a miniskirt. This is a story about forgiveness, understanding and most of all love. If you want a sweet romance read this book it will help you on your way to understanding all of the Holland brothers.

The second book in this series is Determined Mate, this book made me cry and in the beginning and hoped in the in. Pack Alpha Alex Holland  never thought he would find his mate until he hears Brian talking to his best friend Jason. Even with that great werewolf hearing Alex still had a hard time wrapping his mind around his mate.

When scared physically and emotionally hurt Jason pulls up to the Holland house not only does he find Brian but he meets his mate and an jealous Marcus. Not feeling like he can deal with meeting his mate he turns and runs only to be tackled by Alex. Can you say what a way to say hello. It takes having a best friend in Brian and an understanding mate to help Jason on the road to healing. Yes this mating started out with fear of the unknowing but you have to read this book to see if Jason gets his wolf and does Alex gets his mate. I will not tell.

Book three in this series is Protective mate all i say is who say men can not raise daughters. Simon Holland has been feeling melancholy since his older brothers have found their mates and he is wondering if he will find his. Not know that the new wold who is sitting in his living room is not only his mate Zach, but wait he has a two year old Daughter!!!!!!..Simon is not sure what to think or how to handle this situation. But then there is more drama then at a drag queen competition. When Brian ends up very ill and no one and i mean no one knows what is the matter with him.  Let's not for get vile evil religious twunts, I mean little Haley  grandparents trying to run off with sweet Haley.  Will Simon get his mate? Will Zach finally meet a man who will love his daughter as much as him? Will they ever find out what is wrong with Brian? 

The fourth book in this series is Forbidden Mate, ahh yes the youngest of the Holland brothers Patrick " Rick" has known and loved his mate Jack Richmond for ever. Yes that Jake best friend to Alex and pack beta since he was sixteen. Can you say sweet jeebus. But yet Jake breaks young Patrick heart one night with a heart wrenching phone call. Boy does he feel like an ass when he makes that call but he has a good reason to protect his mate from his father and former pack beta Arthur. What jake does not realized is that once he tells his bigoted father and makes that phone call will change Patrick and Jake's lives for a longtime.

Patrick throws himself into school and friends. Jakes does what he has to do for himself school wise and job wise. They have not spent much time around each other unless it was at holland family functions or pack functions but the pain of Jake's phone call still resides deep in Patricks heart. It was not until Brian falling Ill and the Alpha sending these two star cross lovers to the other side of the country to  seek the answers they needed from the Alpha of the Altheron pack. This mating has more problems then straight men marching at a pride event. Now throw in the Altheron pack beta and Lort does fireworks happen. Will Jack and Patrick finally get their shyt together and make? How will the rest of the holland family especially Alex feel about his brother mating with his best friend. Will Arthur accept Jake and Patrick or will be cause more trouble. Read and find out cause there are loads of surprises.
