3.5 stars.

It was a nice and sweet read. It was so nice to go back to our characters after the previous book and see how they were doing. On the other hand, this book doesn't add anything to the story arc, because it's more focused on relationship building. Last but not least, I am always kinda disturbed by the word 'mate' and how it is used here. I think another word to describe this magical and deep bond should be used. In the Italian translation, I liked that they used "my other half", because also in Italian the word "mate" is used in other contexts, which do not fit what the author wants to describe here.
Another note, sex and intimacy scenes could be just left hinted for our imagination, because they are badly written.
