Ugh, seriously. There were a lot of times when I wanted to slam Kane's head to a wall or maybe dice him or something. I was so confused and annoyed with him. Gah.

I don't know why but The Mating was on my radar for some time now. I had it in my head it was one of those cliched bodice-rippers. And finally, when I was in a mood for something like that, I gave it a go.


Imagine my surprise when The Mating turned out to be a classic pnr novel. There is a pack of werewolves in peril. Heroine is newly mated to the alpha, but tries to make the best of the situation she got into. You see who the villain is from the start, but it takes them whole book to catch them. You know how it goes...


If you like paranormal romances written by Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks or Sherrilyn Kenyon, give it a go.

An okay introduction

Read this book a while ago back then, it felt magical... This time around not so much.

The story and characters were very lackluster.

Elise is the daughter of a local werewolf pack who get's mated to Kane, a recent Alpha of the East pack. Elise role is to marry into the pack and unite so they'd have a larger area and a peaceful treaty. The story was likable and the sex steamy. It wasn't however an original idea, so that lowered my review. I still liked it but a new approach would have been nice.

A little too much "romance" for my taste. The story was okay but I was seriously distracted by the graphic descriptions of the romantic encounters. I won't be finishing this series....

It started interesting but eventually it was quite flat.

I had to quit this book midway through because I was shaking with rage at the stupidity of the main characters. HORRIBLE.

I definitely enjoyed this book as much as the prequel :) it took a few moments for the character names to click in and then I was pleasantly surprised to remember a few of the characters being mentioned slightly in the prequel :) looking forward to reading the next book!

An odd mixture of events made this story appealing, but rather flat. I can't say I was invested in any characters and their gee-golly niceness was slightly annoying. Not a bad read, but not a series I would want to invest my time in.
