BookAddict ✒ La Crimson Femme's Reviews > Wolf's Mate

Fast paced, suspense and a new world of shifters, Ms. Kyle introduces me to an exciting new series. I have read Ms. Kyle before years ago and enjoyed her work. They were short stories and engaging. It seems I have missed out on a bit as her latest story is meaty and more robust. Her characters are fun and headstrong. Abby is a do good-er who keeps her shifter side quiet. Declan is a ruthless killer who will do whatever it takes to take out the anti-shifter organization. When the two cross paths, it is explosive and both their plans go sideways.

This first book in the series promises to bring suspense, intrigue, double agents and irrational humans. At the heart of this book is a conflict between shifter hating humans and the shifters who defend all other shifters. Some shifters, like Abby try to fly under the radar. Others are warriors like Declan. Still Abby does her part in bringing down shifter hating humans. She does what a smart person knows… she follows the money. When she gets too close to answers, Declan needs to come save her. From the moment they meet, there is hot chemistry. Under her mild looking persona, Abby is a wild cat. Her interactions with Declan are delightful. She sticks up for herself and quickly gets with the program. For Declan, he is not expecting to be enticed by a little kitty cat. Abby's pussy cat entices Declan's wolf. Their little chasing mating dance whilst dodging bullets and bad guys is erotic and exciting.

I liked Abby. She is a genuinely sweet person who is caught up by more than she expects. She does not shy away and steps up to help out. She may have been a bit startled by being under surveillance, but she quickly realizes she has the same goals as Declan's team. A team that is quite a bit rogue and more likely to shoot first then ask questions. This is opposite of Abby's methods which makes her attraction to Declan more amusing. They balance each other well. Whilst this romance is whirling along, the world building moves at a similar fast pace. This story is a fast read because it is hard to put down once started. Recommended for paranormal romance readers who enjoy alpha males who find their match in a smart female.
