Blurb: Derek Terrell is a Luna werewolf, and he never wanted to find a mate. Then he found one, in the worst possible place. The pack of the enemy, the wolves who want him, his family, and his pack, dead. Instinct demands he go to his mate to be claimed, and he can only fight it for so long, even if it means his mate might kill him to avoid mating with him.

Jake Aeron has heard the terrible stories of Luna werewolves. His first instinct is to keep it a secret and kill Derek quickly and painlessly so that he won’t be forced to watch the rest of his pack torture the man the death once they find out, but he can’t. One touch from Derek and Jake’s lost forever. Now he must find a way to keep his mate safe while he comes to terms with the fact that he just might’ve been in the wrong the entire time.

Review: I am always amazed at the ability to tell a story, especially one that is well written and emotionally felt.

When you find that one person that is perfect for you and then to have them turn from you it would crush anyone. Derek never wanted a mate, yet during the fight to save an omega wolf he finds his. Only his mate is with the enemy. Jake finds his mate only to turn and leave with his pack determined not to deal with him. At first his intention, when Derek comes to him, is to kill him in secret and never let his pack get their hands on him, but that changes when he starts to feel things for him. Derek is an omega but actually comes off as a beta. He is strong-willed and fierce, but tender, kind and loving. He wants his mate and is willing to die to prove it. Jake is an alpha but to me he doesn’t seem to actually act like it. They are just the cutest couple ever and you actually cheer them on.

It doesn’t hurt that the sex is super hot too. When I come home from work, tired to the core and feeling a little down, I look for a book with a bit of humor and seriousness and lose myself into it. Marcy’s books always help me on days like that. I loved this story and cannot wait to read it again.

Review: I have said it once but it bears repeating that I love books with imagination, true feelings, and believable story lines.

 

Marcy has an amazing gift of telling stories. This is an amazing story. I love the mixture of danger, excitement, and humor. I also love the characters because they come off so believable. Not only are they extremely hot and sexy but they have the strengths and weaknesses that all couples need to be perfect together.

 

Alexander has been alone since his lover betrayed him and almost all of his pack died. He as you would expect is wary of others especially someone who is his mate. Fear of being hurt again and being betrayed makes it hard to trust his mate. I can understand the need to protect oneself from being betrayed by someone who claims to love you. This story just comes off so real to me, which made it even better than most. Alexander is insecure with himself, but he is tender, gentle, and loving to his mate. Bellamy is what I would call a twink, really cute, sweet, and caring with just a hint of attitude. They have their normal troubles, and not so normal troubles but they overcome them to make their relationship stronger.

 

It doesn’t hurt that the sex between them is amazingly hot and so damn sexy. I just fan myself when I read about all the different ways they have it. I even blush at some parts. It captured my attention from the get go what with the danger and excitement and kept my attention all the way to the end.

 

I will definitely be reading it more and more. I cannot wait to read the next book. I absolutely loved it.

Blurb: Rory Greenberg travels back in time to be with his brothers before it is too late. Unfortunately, he’s sort of new to the whole time traveling thing, so he doesn’t expect to land right in the middle of winter, or inside of a werewolf camp who immediately scent that he is a luna werewolf and capture him.

Allan Edwards never had much regard for Luna werewolves, but he’s a prisoner in this pack as well, and one sniff of the other man lets him know that they are mated. Allan has no intention of leaving his mate behind.

Escaping is easy, but surviving the snowstorm is hard, and the only thing Allan can do is trust Rory when he leads him to another pack, this one full of Luna werewolves, and Allan has to convince them to not kill him before Rory can recover and explain their situation. Not an easy task considering he used to hunt their kind.

Review: This was another amazing story. Just the right amount of anger, betrayal, pain, danger, and love.

Rory is from the future and missing his brothers decides to travel back in time to be with them. What he hadn’t realized was no idea how to travel back. He lands during the middle of a snowstorm and right inside of the werewolf pack that his brothers were trying to get rid of. As a prisoner, he meets his mate, who happens to be an alpha for the pack that he is trying to escape from. What he didn’t know was Allan didn’t want to be with the pack, that he was trying to escape it also. He was basically a prisoner also.

Rory is a Luna omega werewolf and has the characteristics that go along with it. He is gentle, sweet, tender, and very loving. You meet him and just want to protect him from the world outside plus it doesn’t hurt that he is amazingly hot. Allan is all Alpha. But, sometimes it seems like he is more omega, although he isn’t. He is falling for his mate and does everything in his power to prove to Rory that he can be trusted. Even risking his own life to protect him. He is strong-willed and courageous but can be tender and loving. Especially to his mate.

The sex is hot, sensuous, passionate, and full of fire. Marcy is such a wonderful writer and amazes me with her gift. I loved this story and the characters are so easy to love and cheer for. I can definitely be seeing myself reading this story again and cannot wait for the next book.

Blurb: Zack Bluestone thought he was being mugged when he was ambushed by several huge men. He didn’t expect to wake up in chains in a creepy basement, or to be naked, or for there to be a naked man with him, who is also in chains, and looks pretty vicious.

Brian Lauren is so angry with himself that it’s hard to keep his inner alpha from taking over and tearing everything apart. He can’t believe he was kidnapped and put in a pit, but it happened, and he has to find a way out of here before he goes wild and attacks the only other person locked up with him.

The problem is that person happens to be his mate, and if Brian wants to get them out of this alive, he has to convince the man that they need to mate with each other so he can have the strength to escape before their captors return and kill Zack.

Review: Zack was accidentally thought to be his brother Daren when Lawrence’s pack kidnapped him and threw him a hole with a werewolf. A werewolf that also happened to be his mate. Although at first Zack didn’t know that, Brian however did. Brian was an alpha in Roarke’s pack. Six days stuck in a hole was making his wolf lose it, till they threw in a human who happened to be his mate and the brother of another mate to one of his pack mate alpha’s. What Lawrence didn’t know was the two were mates and could give each other strength through touch. This is a pretty good book, with lots of twist and turns, especially when you add in Leon and Eli, who were actually from the future, Leon was actually Leo the son of Roarke’s and Eli was the son of David’s. The future left a lot to be desired and feared, with the treats from the two rogue packs and hunters bent on their extinction, they had to watch each other’s backs. The love they have is what makes them stronger. I cannot wait to read the next book.

Blurb: Lucas White rescued his mate from the hands of Bud’s pack of rogue wolves, but then was forced to watch him run away since Charlie Terrell didn’t trust any packs after his time in captivity. His only choice was to wait and hope for the day when Charlie would come back to him to complete their bonding.

That time has come, but Lucas wants Charlie to understand that he doesn’t have to exchange sex for a safe place to sleep at night, though that is one of the fantastic perks.

Slowly but surely, Charlie learns to trust the alpha, and maybe even love him, but when one of Charlie’s former kidnappers becomes jealous and desperate to have him back, Lucas will show his mate that he’s willing to do anything to keep him safe, including accepting a challenge that could see him killed.

Review: Lucas had saved his mate from the one of the men of Bud’s pack or rogues, only to lose him when Charlie panicked. Mates cannot stand to be apart for very long before they start to hurt. Ten long days go by and Lucas is going out of his mind, so while taking a walk in the woods behind the house, he is rewarded when Charlie returned. Lucas lets Charlie know that he doesn’t have to have sex with Lucas unless he wants to. That they could take the friendship stance, but Charlie says friends with benefits sound better, only to have Lucas change it to Alpha with benefits. When one of Charlie’s former kidnappers becomes desperate to get him back, Lucas realizes he will fight even to the death for the one he loves. I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next book.
