Mated to the Pack by Jade Alters

Mated to the Pack is a reverse-harem romance book.   Each book in the series is stand-alone.

 

Vivian is in the first semester of her graduate program in Archaeology when she is chosen to assist on a dig in Columbia.  Unfortunately, the dig director runs into problems with the cartel and Vivian is rescued by mercenaries and sent out of the country.  With nowhere to go, she heads to the home of her recently deceased grandmother.

When the mercenaries rescue the dig director they find out that he hid valuable documents in Vivian’s bag, so they follow to protect her from the cartel.  The mercenaries are actually a pack of wolf-shifters with military backgrounds.

Shorly after arriving home, Vivian meets four strapping guys that answer her advertisement of rooms to rent in exchange for some help fixing up the house.  Vivian thinks she must be going crazy.  She’s attracted to all four guys. Meanwhile, each of the guy’s are hearing their wolves say “Mate!”

I enjoyed this book.  despite all the excitement of the cartel and the tensions over who, if anyone can claim Vivian, there is a sweet romantic feeling to the story.  Each character is given a backstory and feels complete.

I read a review copy of the book.  My opinions, as always are my own.

Mated to the Pack II by Jade Alters

As Mated to the Pack II begins, Courtney is ready to quit. She’s had enough of her assignment in Afghanistan. It’s too much. The heat, the dirt, the animals and wolves outside of camp….everything! Suddenly a handsome soldier she hasn’t seen before sticks his head in her tent and tells her they have to move, right then! She and the doctors are thrown into a truck and driven to an airstrip. Then the plane explodes and it’s just her and four remaining soldiers running for their lives in the wilderness. Will, Clay, Manny and Titan are doing their best to keep her safe while they figure out why they’re being attacked.

I enjoyed the book. The intensity of the beginning creates a tight bond between Courtney and the soldiers. The plot was exciting and the mystery was interesting. When the plot is discovered they all work together to come to a solution. I’m interested to read the other books in the series. Each book is a stand-alone story.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Promised at the Moon, by Rebekah Ganiere

Book 1 of the Wolf River series.

Story teaser:

Twenty year old Natasha is awakened in the middle of the night and her mother hands her a bug-out bag and urges her to run.  Her ex-boyfriend won’t give up on her and now her family is under attack.  A voice through her headphones guides her along an escape route.  The voice belongs to Tate, from Night Shift, a shifter relocation service.  Tate and her contact Liam may be her only hope to get through this alive.

 

Liam helps get Natasha established in a new town and enrolled at a community college.  He and Cara, her new roommate, help her adjust to a new life, but she can’t help worrying about her parents and wondering if her ex is still looking for her.

 

Despite their plans, Liam and Natasha are attracted to each other.  But they’ve both been hurt before and don’t know if they can trust again.

 

Opinions:

I really enjoyed the book.  The plot had lots of action and suspicious characters so you didn’t know who to trust or what their motives are.  It was a good foundation to the series and I look forward to reading more.

A new shifter world opens in turmoil in A Wolf’s Hunger: Rafe by A K Michaels

A K Michael’s new shifter series, a Wolf’s Hunger, opens with a world in turmoil.  Rafe, the Alpha of his pack, is suffering from a strange uncontrollable hunger that cannot be sated by any number of kills.  For days he has hunted in his wolf form as his Beta wolf has followed and worried.

Meanwhile, Tasha is on the run after a mysterious illness and an attack by rogue wolves has destroyed her pack.  At the insistence of her mother, Tasha fled the attack to warn other packs. After days of pursuit, the rogue wolves are almost on her heels.

I enjoyed this book tremendously.  The story is full of action from the very start and with only brief romantic interludes the plot continues at a fast pace until the mysteries are solved and the story resolved.  Rafe and Tasha are strong characters and the supporting characters are also well developed.  I look forward to other books in this series.
