Sandy M’s review of Wolf’s Mate (Crescent Moon, Book 7) by Katie Reus
Paranormal Romance published by KR Press 3 Jul 18
I started reading Katie Reus’ Redemption Harbor series last year and have loved every one of them. So when I came across this book, I thought why not, I’ve been a bit lax on paranormals lately so it might work for me. I was right, despite the fact it’s Book 7 in the Crescent Moon series, a fact I didn’t know until after I finished reading. I enjoyed Hudson and Erica’s story a lot, along with getting to know the previous characters from other books. I will definitely be going back to the beginning of this series as soon as I can.
Erica is visiting Hudson’s pack and they have a fling. They each begin falling for the other, emotions involved, though they agreed to have fun while together. Usually I don’t like when a hero and heroine don’t talk to one another to figure things out, but in this case, it’s the alpha in Hudson that has to toughen up and take what’s his.
See, Erica believes she’d only be an obligation on his part because she’s now pregnant. He let her go before, so in her mind that’s the only reason Hudson has now changed his mind and wants her in his life. Thus, talking it through wouldn’t work in this case because they’re both pretty darned stubborn. Hudson tries to be a gentleman to allow her to choose, but he soon realizes he’s just going to have to do his alpha work on this woman. I love an alpha male, and Hudson does the moniker justice, that’s for sure.
That said, I’m glad Erica and her she-wolf don’t let Hudson get away with everything in keeping her around. She also knows what she wants and goes for it. So, actually, they do some great talking together when the time is right.This is a novella, so it’s to the point. While I could have used a bit more of these two characters, it all still works to give the reader satisfying time spent with Hudson and Erica. It definitely makes you want to go back to the start and read about other Crescent Moon shifters.
Grade: A
Summary:
She wasn’t supposed to fall for him.
Erica’s time away from her pack was just supposed to be fun. Then she met Hudson. Instead of the no-strings attached fling, she ended up falling for him. But they’d promised each other that they’d keep things casual. Instead of risking her heart, she ran. Now she’s pregnant—and he’s determined to claim her. But the last thing she wants is to be an obligation to him.
Now she’s pregnant.
Erica could never be a duty to Hudson, but for some reason that’s what she thinks she is. He tried to go slow, to give her space—so he wouldn’t scare her off. Now he realizes that was a mistake. It’s time for this wolf to claim his mate. Unfortunately a neighboring pack is stirring up trouble for his pack, and his she-wolf is determined to keep walls between them. Walls he intends to bring down once and for all.
