Misfits Purpose – Robin’s Review

Misfits Purpose

Broken promises, fear-filled nights, tearful escapes—they have left their old lives behind. Jacob and Grace arrive in Oakwood Creek as strangers from different worlds and provinces apart, each carrying the scars of their past.

Oakwood Creek is a town for those who are done fleeing. A place of quiet streets and second chances, where heated gazes can meet healing hearts, and two broken souls might just fit together.

Robin’s Review

Triggers: Domestic abuse, trauma recovery, stalking/hunting, violence, fear and intimidation, “on the run” themes, spicy scenes

What Did I Just Walk Into?
A small-town “safe haven” where broken people land, a protective bear shifter clocks his mate instantly, and everyone’s past shows up like it has a key to the front door.

Here’s What Slapped:
A bear shifter MMC with actual emotional intelligence, yes please, we love a big protective wall of muscle who can also use words.
Grace’s arc hits hard in the best way. She’s not written as “weak until love fixes her,” she’s written as a mother surviving, then choosing herself.
The pacing works for a “quick shifter read,” it gets you invested fast without feeling like a speed-run through feelings.
That small-town vibe is cozy enough to picture, with just enough world building to make Oakwood Creek feel like a real landing place for people who are done running.

What Could’ve Been Better:
I wanted a little more bite around the hunters and the external threat.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:
Protective shifters with “touch her and perish” energy
Healing romance, found safety, and second-chance towns
Fated mates with a slow, careful trust build
Bear shifters, wolf shifters, and small-town paranormal romance with heat

Sum up:
This one feels like a warm cabin light in the middle of a storm, tender, protective, and quietly fierce, with a heroine rebuilding herself piece by piece and a bear shifter who understands that safety is something you earn, not something you claim.
