Tempting His Mate (A Werewolf Romance)

NOVELLA length

She ran from him once…
Wild one night stands are not Ella Hayes’s style, but with her confidence at rock bottom after a devastating betrayal and her painful departure from her jaguar pride, who could blame her for falling into bed with a sexy wolf? She never thought she’d see him again. And never in her craziest dreams did she expect to come face-to-face with him on her first day with the Kincaid wolf pack. Sleeping with Asher had been one of the most intense experiences of her life—but now she wonders if they could have more.

He’s not letting her go again…

Tired of life as a lone wolf, shifter Asher has joined his cousin’s pack. The last person he expected to see was the sexy woman who ran out on him in the middle of the most incredible night of his life. The Ella he meets now is nothing like the wild, sensual woman he let his guard down with, but he likes both sides of the complicated female. But now somebody—or something—sinister is targeting Ella, and Asher moves quickly to get her under his roof and under his protection. Keeping the sexy female safe and proving they belong together are two missions he doesn’t plan to fail. Because this time, he’s playing for keeps.
Crescent Moon Series, #3
Author Note: Tempting His Mate is the third story in the Crescent Moon series but can be read completely as a stand-alone.

I am delving more into some of the paranormal romances. This is a novella. The author is Katie Reus writing as Savannah Stuart. I was intrigued by the blurb on this and having previously read Katie thought it would be a good book.

I found the main characters really likeable. I thought I would have an issue with the length of the book but it was well written and the characters had a depth to them. I loved that Asher was all alpha but wasn't THE Alpha. He knew that he had a past and that Ella did too. He wasn't afraid to let her have her own way sometimes, but was dominant in the bed room. The book is hot. I loved that the first time they saw each other the chemistry was jumping off the page.

Though she tried to stop herself, her gaze trailed down his beautifully sculpted body and landed on the impressive display between his legs. Holy mother of...
As he cleared his throat, she looked up and felt her face flame at his almost arrogant grin. "You all right?" he asked.
 She nodded and tried not to melt into a puddle at the sound of his deep voice. She could totally get off to that voice alone. Clearing her throat, she said, "Yes. Thanks for what you did,but I had it under control."
His dark eyebrows raised a fraction and his wicked grin grew even wider. "I'm sure you did, but no one treats a female like that in my presence and gets way with it. Ever."
"My name's Asher, " he rumbled in that deep voice and she realized she'd been blatantly staring.
"I'm Ella." And she wasn't going anywhere, she realized. Not until she got a taste of this sexy male. Something told her one taste wouldn't be nearly enough.She is a jaguar shifter. He is all wolf. They work well with each other. They need to find out why someone is after Ella. I liked the suspense part of the book. I will give this a solid 4 clocks. Honestly wish it had been longer but I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.
