review 1: My only complaint is that I wish the book were longer. Lauren Hayes is the youngest daughter of an Alpha Jaguar Shifter. Over 100 years ago there had been an incident between her pack and a Wolf Pack with the result being that an heirloom - a gem encrusted brooch that gets handed down to the daughter getting married of the Jaguar Alpha became the property of the Wolf Pack. 6 months earlier there had been a meeting between the 2 Packs to have the brooch returned. The answer was no. Now Lauren wants the brooch for her older sister and is determined to steal it. She believes she has the skills and she has her pack mates wait outside the perimeter of the Wolves ocean front compound. The Wolf Alpha is away on his honeymoon and she has done her homework, she should be abl... moree to get in, find the brooch, and leave without being found out. But she is caught by the Alpha's second in command before she can find the brooch and leave. Max met her briefly at the Pack meeting 6 months ago. He was attracted to her then, and still is. He makes a deal with her - stay with him for one week and they won't prosecute her, and she can have the family brooch back at the end of the week. How can she say no? Maybe because her hormones go into overdrive in his presence and she can't believe such a hunky, high-ranking Wolf would want a jaguar shifter long term, and she is pretty sure that her jaguar wants him as her mate. She more than lives up to her word. She helps out at one of their bars, cooks him dinner. With the Alpha away, Max can't believe how busy he is trying to take care of everything his Alpha usually takes care of. He wants time to woo Lauren. His Wolf just wants to mate her with no preliminaries. Lauren is kidnapped and her parents and pack show up to bring her home, pay ransom to Max for her attempted burglary, only to find out Max doesn't know where she is or who took her. Add to that the pair of wolves guarding the Alpha's house reports a burglary and the brooch is gone! Lauren's parents and pack aid in the search for Lauren. Lauren manages to escape on her own. But will she be believed when damning evidence is provided that she stole the brooch? Can a wolf and jaguar have a future with all the bad blood between the 2 packs and the differences in their animals? Will her Alpha dad and overprotective mom allow their youngest to forge her own way? Loved the characters, and as I said above, wish the book had been longer.
review 2: I discovered this series when the third book, Tempting His Mate, was released. I'm a little OCD about not starting at the beginning so I ordered all three at once and ended up reading one per day. Even though these books can be read as stand alone the characters from the previous book do interact with one another. I was hooked within the first few pages. The story is well written, the chemistry between Max and Lauren is fantastic. Max is the second in command of his werewolf pack. He met Lauren, a jaguar shifter, 6 months before and hasn't been able to get her out of his system. Max is in charge while his alpha is away on his honeymoon and when he catches Lauren breaking into his alphas home he devises a plan to keep her close to get to know her better. Lauren surprises him with different nice gestures. When she is accused of stealing and attacking one of his pack members Max has to investigate the situation. There are twists and turns that surprised me. Let me just say that I didn't pick out the real culprit. Happy Reading! less
