Reluctant Mate (Cascadia Wolves)

by Lauren Dane

[Romance Schmomance]

Reluctant Mate was my introduction to not only this author, but the series as well. It is a novella, so you'll be wanting more once you're finished. Despite it being so short, a lot does happen in this one. You learn a little about the pack, mating, the tri-bond (I'm still tripping out a little bit about that). It's a great opening for the rest of the series and it helped me prepare for the interesting ways of the wolves.

This novella is definitely a paranormal/shapeshifter erotica, so you can expect an insta-love and plenty of steaminess. I have a feeling that I'll love all the women in this series, they're amazing and strong! Going on what she had to face when it came to Sid, it was a natural reaction, which makes it easier for us to relate to her. Yes, I'm not a wolf, but if I was facing the same situation she was, I'd be like what the f**k?!

Yes, it was a bit too short for my liking, but it intrigued me to keep reading this series.
