Can Walker and Caelan figure out their feelings for each other? Or will they be over before they even begin?
From the The Prince's Mate blurb:
Walker
When I first arrived in Otherworld as a five-year-old, I trusted only two people: Damien, the king of Otherworld, and his best friend, Caelan.
Caelan became my best friend too, until the day he left Otherworld with no explanation.
Over the years, all my feelings for him turned bitter, until all I could do was hate him, even when he returned for good.
When my dads sent Caelan and me to the human realm, I struggled between my hate for the man I once adored, and the feelings I kept hidden deep in my heart.
Caelan
When I found out that my best friend's newly adopted five-year-old was my mate, I did what I knew was best: I left.
I returned seventeen years later, and Walker wasn't a kid anymore. He was a handsome young man, and he hated me.
When Damien and his mates conspired together by sending Walker and me to the human realm, I expected more of the same hatred and dislike.
Instead, I discovered Walker might not hate me as much as I'd thought, and a blast from the past that could ruin everything.
The Prince's Mate is an MM romance featuring two men who met too early in life but got a second chance at love because of nosy dads and a conspiring magical snake who loves to talk.

Angel's review:
I've been eagerly waiting for Caelan and Walker's story, throughout Stella's other stories there have been glimpses of both of these men and I've been curious about them since then. I'm so happy they got their happy ever after and it was such a cute story!!
After Caelan got told the he and Walker are fated mates when Walker was just a child he decided the best thing would be to leave.. Caelan was Walker's best friend when he was younger but then Caelan disappeared with no reason, leading to Walker having resentment towards the other man. Years later, now an adult, these two men get brought together by a matchmaking snake and finally put the past behind them.
I thought this story was cute, I liked that they didn't get together right away. Both Caelan and Walker have obvious chemistry with one another and that shows with their dialogue with each other. I found the story progressed nicely, I also liked how there wasn't too many steamy scenes. They had intimate moments without steamy scenes and I really appreciated that in this story.
Walker calling Caelan 'kitty' is so adorable! I just love the relationship these two form with one another. I also LOVED Ro, he was so sassy and snarky. The chapters in his POV provided humor and lightness to the story and helped move things along in a nice way.
The conflict of Caelan's past did cause a bit of angst which was a great accompaniment, however, I think things got resolved too quickly. It felt as thought it was glossed over and rushed. Other than that though, a great story!
