Gail Faulkner’s website and Jamie’s Cherub’s excerpt
Jamie MacKelvin is Alpha Prime, king of the shape shifter wolves-and alone. Driven by duty, honor and the heritage of Alpha Primes, he’s long since given up finding the one female who is his.
Emma’s dark history has given her a beautiful daughter and the horrifying discovery that humans are not alone on Earth. The last thing Emma needs is a complex anybody, much less a dominant Alpha King.
Even if she wasn’t his biological mate, he’d love her gentle heart, brave soul and intoxicatingly full figure. Claiming a reluctant mate is difficult-keeping her, the most dangerous thing they will ever do. Emma and her daughter are unwitting keys in an ancient battle for power. Ensuring their future will require a horrific price. Jamie is prepared to pay with anything except Emma.
Her trust in him as Master is the one thing that can save her, and Jamie will stop at nothing to acquire it, even if the cost is losing her ability to love him. Grimly he clings to the belief that mate bond is the last wildcard even the fates can’t control.

Devon’s Ebuzz
I really enjoyed Gail Faulkner’s first book for EC, Full Ride, which I found to be a romantic and sexy (and very explicit BDSM) read.
I read her follow-up publications, and found them to be increasingly disappointing, culminating in this mess. Sorry, there’s no other way to describe it. Jamie MacKelvin, werewolf Alpha, meets Emma at the wedding of her werewolf daughter to one of his pack members. Within seconds, he’s recognized her to be his one and only mate.
Of course.
But Emma’s uncomfortable with werewolves, because she was raped by one (hence the daughter). And her rapist was Jamie’s brother.
Of course.
Well, within two hours, she’s not only sexing it up with Jamie, but also planning a double wedding with said daughter. And a couple of hours after that, Jamie’s now crazed brother shoots her up with werewolf/vampire genes, or something.
Emma’s hair turns white and she’s rabid, and she’s got mad powers, and the only way to control her and save her is to dominate her. Like in that BDSM way. In a moving truck, driven by his buddy. Or something. I think she’s part snake too. There was everything but the kitchen sink in this one. I don’t think that Faulkner’s a bad writer, but avoid this absurd mess.
You can buy this here and find her other titles (along with Full Ride) here. Thanks Devon!
