Description:
Mission:
Don’t fall in love
After an explosive night of passion
during a scenting ceremony, Karla Alves is sure she was just a one night stand
for the man she'd been crushing on for years. She teased him and pleased him,
and Nate hasn't been around since. Her fear of becoming clingy kept her from
risking her heart and asking for more than a few hours of skin sin.
Mission:
Crack her walls
She. Is. His. Nathan Wolfe marked Karla.
His mate. Deeply involved in pack politics, Nate has had to stay away. When his
sister warns that Karla needs him more than he thinks, he'll discover a bundle
of secrets only his wolf can sniff out. But getting the woman he cares about to
let down her guard may prove to be his undoing.
Mission:
Embrace the bite
With Karla's wayward sister wreaking
havoc and friends needing more of his time than ever, Nate will have to
rearrange his priorities if he ever hopes to earn Karla's trust. But will time
with her be enough? Only true love and a wolf's promise can hold together a
relationship created with a bite, a scenting, and a hope for tomorrow.
Excerpt
A warm breeze ruffled the trees, and she glanced
at her camera. The stupid tripod didn’t want to stay in place. She grumbled
under her breath. Squatting down, she jiggled the tiny metal legs into the
earth, hoping to steady it. A couple of rocks would help. She grabbed a few of
the biggest ones and circled the tripod legs with them to keep it stable.
Long strands of frizzy hair kept falling forward
out of her ponytail, tickling the side of her face. She tugged the annoying
hair behind her ear and continued to mess with the tripod.
“Stupid, friggin’, piece of—”
A low growl sounded close. Too close. She whipped
up to her feet, still holding one of the rocks in her hands and turned in a
flash. Unfortunately, she was also one of the clumsiest people and tripped on
her own feet. She lost her balance, and she fell on her ass.
“Carajo!”
A howl sounded from the ceremony site, and she
scrambled to her knees to watch one of the wolves, she'd guess it was Marco
because he was bigger, sniffing Kelly’s behind.
“Just
like a man to go straight for the goods.” She snorted.
But she didn’t get a chance to keep watching. Something
bumped her backside, pushing her forward. She tangled on the tripod and fell on
her face.
“Oh, for crying out loud.” Clearly, she sucked
at being inconspicuous. Strands of hair fell forward, covering her vision. She
lifted on all four and flipped to sit on her ass. There he was, the one shifter
that drove her absolutely crazy in every way possible.
“Spot? What are you doing here? And why did you bury your nose in my ass,
you pervert?”
Not that it turned her on that he put his nose
in her ass. It was…weird. He growled. The low deep sound twisted her belly into
all kinds of knots. Oh, boy. She was in trouble. Staring at his cute furry
face, she was very tempted to lift a hand and pet him.
Nathan, big, bad, sexy, pierced hunk of male
candy stood not more than five feet in front of her in his wolf form. The form
that looked like a cute Dalmatian-wolf with a white spot over his muzzle, hence
the name she’d given him, “Spot.”
His eyes glittered in that golden shade from his
animal. A shiver raced down her spine.
“I know how this must look, but it’s not what
you think.” She felt like a moron talking to him when he was a giant wolf. He
took a step toward her. She squiggled an inch further away. With a quick swipe,
she moistened her dry lips with the tip of her tongue. “We were invited to be
here. I swear.”
5 Stars
This book got me finished reading it in one sitting. A Mate's Bite is the second series of Sassy Mates which can be read as a stand alone but it's better to read it in order. I haven't read Scent of Mate (Sassy Mates #1) but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy reading A Mate's Bite.
Karla and Nate's relationship is very sweet but at the same time hot, sexy, and very erotic. Karla's story was very emotional and although it affected her and Nate's relationship I'm glad that she was able to overcome it and that Nate (thankfully he followed his mother's advice) was able to break down the walls surrounding Karla's heart.
I liked that Karla was able to stand up for herself even if Kass (I really hate her and good riddance that they washed their hands off her) was the one who also helped open eyes and that she finally let go of her insecurities and trust both herself and Nate.
It is nice to see what good friendship can do with the support of her mate's family. They got her back and I'm glad she finally realized it. I can't wait for the rest of the series. It would be interesting to know how the other couples get together.
About the Author:
Hi! I'm Milly (AKA April Angel) I love to
write sexy stories. They're usually either paranormal or contemporary with a
large dose of heat. My paranormal stories can be anything from wolf-shifters
(my favorites) to witches, demons and anything in between. My contemporaries
are usually anything from soldiers to corporate romances.
I was born the prettiest part of the
Caribbean known as the Dominican Republic. Currently, I live in New York City
with my hubby, the bossy kiddo and our little dog "Needy Speedy".
Don't ask.
When I'm not working some really long
hours at the day job, or hanging out in the awful life-sucking invention known
as Facebook, messaging my bestie in the UK or shopping with my sis Julie, then
I can be found watching scary movies. Buuut when I'm not doing that, I'm
usually writing because the voices won't shut up.
I am addicted to shoe shopping, chocolate
(but who isn't, right?) and Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
Come on over and visit me! I love to meet
new readers!
