Elise had no idea when
she came home that day that she'd end up mated to a complete stranger. A
new Alpha and the need for an alliance between packs have made her a
pawn.
I just finished reading The Mating by Nicky Charles. It was an amazing story of paranormal romance between werewolves, an arranged mating with an alpha from another pack leaves Elise wishing for her home and her close childhood friend. In a single night her world is shifted to the Alpha, Kane who is now her life, but is more to this wolf then meets the eye, he is a caring and loving mate who puts the needs of his pack before his own. Their relationship grows from a simply physical to a enduring love story, though they go through some rough patches on their road to happiness eventually they are able to accept themselves and each other. In the end they save the pack and their territory from a conniving, money hungry, she-wolf. I'd have to say this reads like twilight with a female character with more back bone and a male protagonist that knows that he has light and dark within him. I recommend this to anyone wanting a great book that won't be able to be put down until you reach the last page. I'm off to read another of Nicky Charles's wonderful books the Finding. Til then keep reading!
