A wolf shifter eases his pain with work after being rejected by the other half of his soul, a man who despises the idea of true mates.

Nicholas Cartwright buries himself in his work in an effort to forget the night he found his mate only to be callously rejected. He pushes himself to exhaustion, an incomprehensible state for most shifters, while being unable to find solace for even a single night in another man’s arms.

When Nick’s reluctant mate reappears one day asking for his help, he questions whether he can set aside his pain and forgive Thayne. He must decide if he can trust Thayne to stay this time and not cut and run again.

Forgiving Thayne is Book 2 in the True Mates series. Although it can be read as a standalone, it does include scenes with characters from the previous book. This book features rejected mates, slow burn MM romance, and some content which some readers may find difficult to read with an inevitable HEA. **Please note: this is a self re-release previously published by a publishing house.**

J.R. Loveless began her adventure in writing romance at the young age of twelve. Her foray into creating her own worlds and telling her characters’ life stories was triggered by her own love of reading. She currently resides in South Florida with her two dogs and two cats, volunteers for an animal rescue in her spare time, and works as a manager for a financial lending institute. Someday she hopes to begin writing as a full-time career and bringing more of her ideas to life.

Her journey into gay romance began in 2005 when she began posting her original fiction on a forum for feedback and readers’ pleasure. In 2010, a good friend urged her to submit to a publishing company, and the day she received the acceptance and contract was the best day of her life. Since then, she has been noted to be one of the most purchased audio books after Fifty Shades of Grey on Audiobook.com, received best gay romantic fiction for Touch Me Gently in the 2011 TLA Gaybies, and even received an award for Chasing Seth in 2012.

J.R. adores her fans and loves hearing from them.

Total let down after book 1 and a complete waste of money!!!

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

So we met Nick and Thayne in book one Chasing Seth. Nick is Seth's BFF and Thayne is Kasey's brother. Thayne has always been the wondering, wild child and a accident lands him in hot water. He's tired of running, so he heads home to get help from his family/pack. There he meets Nick at a bar and after a pretty hot encounter finds out Nick is his fated mate. Did I forget to mention Thayne doesn't want a mate? Don't worry because he mentions it about 100 times. He's such a whiny, cry baby that I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. Even when his fated mate Nick is tricked into coming to his rescue, Thayne still treats him like last weeks garbage. The only reason I finished this book is because I liked Nick and the occasional glimpses of Seth.

First problem I had with this book: Thayne makes a pact with a childhood friend to never accept his mate (if he ever meets his mate) because of one tragic situation involving fated mates. Doesn't matter that there's several examples of fated mates doing right, one situation has Thayne acting a jerk for 15+ years.
Second problem: Dakota breaks his promise and doesn't have the respect to let Thayne know. Some BFF he is.
Third problem: Thayne's father tells him an important fact about Mr. Blackfoot and Thayne doesn't think it's important to tell Dakota. Also Dakota's grandmother tells him the same info and Dakota doesn't tell Thayne. These aren't the actions of two BFF's.
Fourth problem: In Chasing Seth Chapter 13 Drakson tells Seth that Nick didn't change Taggart, that he was just inadvertently responsible for Taggart getting changed. In Forgiving Thayne Chapter 13 Nick tells Thayne that he changed a human that kidnapped and tortured Seth. Where was the authors notes to refer to? Or your beta readers? Did no one point this out in the 6 years this book has been out, so that it could be updated? This is a big thing to leave to memory, IMO. I hate continuity issues, it shows a total lack of care from the author!!
Fifth problem: Ryan is supposed to be a business partner and very good friend to Nick and he turns on him over something Nick has no control over. Treats him really bad. Then at the end just acts like lets bygones, etc... Again not the actions of good friends.
Sixth problem: The rule regarding changing a human that the Seneca pack has is basically negated by the summit. How can you banish someone and they be dead to the pack but then just because the summit is on neutral land, you can suddenly recognize them and socialize with them? BS rule exception to ease Thayne's banishment.
Seventh and most important problem: Thayne whining and complaining through 80% of the book. It got SOOO old and tiresome. It dragged on and on. The constant rehashing of his reasons made me think Mr. Blackfoot got off easily.

This is a total waste of $7.00. I firmly believe that authors owe buyers a decent book for that price and this was a complete fail. I only gave it two stars because of Nick and Seth. I won't be re-reading this book. I'm deleting it from my kindle as soon as I finish this review. Can't and won't recommend this book. Hoping book 3 is more along the lines of book 1.

Hard Fought For Relationship. . .

Forgiving Thayne is the second in this True Mates Series. We met Thayne briefly in the first story, Chasing Seth. He is Kasey's younger brother and was home briefly to meet Seth. During that visit Thayne also meets his mate Nick.

The story opens with Thayne and Nick meeing, the off chance, one in a lifetime connection. Fast forward six months and Thayne is still in denial and Nick is suffering from being apart. The story continues with a lot of angst, soul searching, and compromising. This pair had even more to overcome then Seth and Kasey. Thayne had a series of past mistakes and a childhood trauma and fallout ruled his decisions. Thayne has to let go of his past and open up to Nick.

Nick was Seth's good friend, one he considered a brother. He was also introduced in the first book in more detail. We know Nick is a successful businessman and how committed he is to his pack, his friends, and co-workers. This story focuses on him. Despite all the back and forth, the anguish and torment the two do to each other and how they are apart, eventually Nick forgives Seth. And once Thayne get's his head on straight, thinks things through, and listens to his wolf, things eventually work out. .. In a Thayne sort of way. Stubborn man.

It'd be nice to see the summit, a family gathering, and a follow up on how Thayne interacts with his new pack. I'd love to see if he gets a pack position and his work situation. There were a couple of other little questions that were left hanging but nothing major. All in all this was a great continuation to the series. - Dan's Wife

Struggle of True Mates and their Pasts

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2014

JR Loveless did an excellent job with the second novel "Forgiving Thayne" of the True Mates Series. The story line continues on from the first one, but got stronger with the twists and turns of frustration. The character development continued to be amazing as the two main characters, Nick and Thayne, go through a difficult start and progression of a relationship which would end up them being true mates. Initially on meeting, Thayne refused to want a mate ever, but his inner wolf wanted Nick. Nick knew Thayne was his True Mate, but when Thayne rejected him he went through a almost destructive time accepting this. Thayne's past was catching up with him. He had changed a human into one of the Created ones who was extremely dangerous and was after Thayne for doing it to him. When he told his parents, the only way for him to break the bond he had with Mark (the created one) was to mate with Nick, his true mate. Seth got Nick there under false pretenses, but after explaining and much upset of realizing that Thayne still didn't really want him, he agreed to help Thayne and mate with him to break the bond. Thayne still had to be punished by his father, the Alpha of his pack, for changing a human and he was to be exiled from the pack and the territory. Thayne had to go with Nick to his home and to his pack. The tension and drama between the two only grew as the days went on, but they also started to feel the connection unwillingly. Mark, the created one, found where Thayne was and the fight was on with Thayne, Nick, the Alpha, and some of the other pack members fighting Mark. This was a very emotional, dramatic story where the main character almost died, but Thayne realized that where he wanted to be was with Nick. The story was a drawn out story, but I enjoyed all of it. With all the frustration and rejection involved, true mates find their true love towards one another. Turns out to be a beautiful story that definitely is a page turner. Seth and Kasey are brought into this story tying the two stories together and the pasts of both Thayne and Nick seemed to finally resolve itself with a heartwarming ending. This is a Must Read if you like Paranormal MM Romance.. Loved it.

I have waited a while to hear Thayne and Nick's story after reading Chasing Seth (read in order).
Thank you J R Loveless it was worth the wait. The main characters are well developed, as are the people around them and you really care about them
The pact made between Thayne and Dakota is a good story line and one you can imagine young adolescents making.
Come on J R bring on book 3 in the series.

Poor Nick, Thayne was so horrid to him his beliefs were corrupted from a traumatic even when he was young and fought his true mate all the way. It was sad for Matt and unfair his life was forfeited and the future he had planned. M glad Nick got his mate in the end.
