Review:Defending Their Mate: Part One (The Last Pack) by Moira Rogers

Defending Their Mate: Part One
Digital
September 2017


It’s been three months since her new pack saved Grace from captivity. They’re everything she never knew to expect as a werewolf–loyal, devoted, and fiercely protective. But her peace of mind is threatened by the arrival of her mating fever–and the crushing desire it brings.
 The last time she went into heat, her wolf would accept none of her captors, and the thwarted need almost drove her mad. Now, she finds herself drawn to two very different wolves. Connor’s easy, affectionate nature makes her feel worshiped, sheltered. And Mac’s inner darkness calls to her own feral cravings…

Tragedy has left Mac emotionally locked away, unwilling to take a mate. It doesn’t matter that Grace sparks lust as well as his instincts. He’ll keep her safe, defend her–with his life, if necessary. But he can’t risk his heart.

Control over his wolf is all that matters to Connor–until Grace. But claiming the beauty is anything but simple. Falling for her could shatter the bond he shares with Mac, and cost him everything that’s kept him sane.

When Grace goes into heat, all bets are off. Because only one thing matters–soothing her fever.

What I thought about Defending Their Mate, Part 1

In Defending Their Mate, Grace is the new wolf in town. She's still attempting to understand her wolf side, and now that she's going into heat, she's also afraid she will harm her new pack mates.

Grace is drawn to Connor and Mac.  Connor is a sweetheart, and immediately takes to Grace and wants to take care of her.  Mac wants to take care of her too, although he's still worried about his past and whether he can give Grace everything she needs.  I loved how Grace and Mac have similar demons and the scene where they take to the woods together was really sweet.

I like this series.  It's a quick read, loaded with lots of sex if you are in the mood for that, and it's a shifter story that leans more toward the wolf than the man or woman. That's a nice twist and makes for a story with some basic emotions -- anger, lust, and playfulness. 

Looking forward to Part 2 and 3.

Review:Protecting Their Mate (Part 3) by Moira Rogers



Protecting Their Mate (Part Three)
The Last Pack
Digital
August 7, 2017
Part Three (of Three)
As the full moon raises tensions–and appetites–Ashley indulges her wildest fantasies…and discovers what it truly means to belong to the pack. But Blake’s control is tested as outsiders descend on the pack’s territory, and Ashley discovers that following her heart may be the only way to find her mate.

Ashley’s heart longs for one man, but her wolf demands that she test herself against the alpha. Can she settle for a life of never knowing, or will she risk everything for Blake? 

Protecting Their Mate was originally published as an eight part serial under the penname Mia Thorne. It has been repackaged, but the story remains the same.




What I thought about Protecting Their Mate (part 3 )


In the conclusion of Protecting Their Mate, Ashley meets another wolf like her when a rival pack visits, and decisions are mating become more critical.  The rival pack causes a few headaches too and forces the pack into action.

Ashley is almost sure about who her wolf wants as a mate, but there’s still one last wolf she hasn’t experienced yet.  So Blake, in spite of how he really feels about Ashley decides he has to be absolutely sure that he’s the one which causes all sorts of drama.  

And there’s still plenty of time between the drama for spirited sex between the pack members and Ashley. I would have liked a little more story around Ashley’s change and being in heat, but that’s a personal preference.  

Overall, I liked the conclusion and the series.  There was some nice world building between the erotic scenes and I’m a bit curious as to where the next book in the series will go.

Review: Protecting Their Mate (Part Two) by Moira Rogers


Protecting Their Mate (Part Two)
The Last Pack
Digital
7/31/2017
Part Two (of Three)

As Ashley settles in to her life at the lodge, she meets more of her new pack mates--including wicked, intense Jud. His touch arouses her hunger--and Blake's possessiveness. Lucas, the unyielding alpha, grows concerned with the attachment between Blake and Ashley and sends Blake out on a mission.

While Blake is away, Ashley meets the most elusive member of her new pack--the enigmatic Connor, a hacker who, like her, was raised among humans. For Connor, sex is volatile--dangerous--and being near Ashley draws out the feral edge of the wolf inside him. As Ashley's connection with Blake--and with Lucas--grows deeper, an outside force threatens the peace of the Last River pack.

Protecting Their Mate was originally published as an eight part serial under the penname Mia Thorne. It has been repackaged, but the story remains the same.




What I thought about Protecting Their Mate (part 2)


In the second installment of Protecting Their Mate, Blake is sent on a mission and Ashley is left to meet the rest of the pack.  “Meeting” actually means having sex, mostly with multiple partners.  But the dilemma of whether she is going to officially mate with one of them is still in question.  Lucas, the alpha, knows that Blake wants Ashley, and that he’s hesitant because of his other pack mates.  So Lucas separates Blake and Ashley so they can come to some decision about where they stand with each other as far as the mating question goes.

Part 2 is chock full of filthy, dirty sex (as was part 1) but it’s foundation in Ashley learning about her wolf-self is what holds it all together.  Ashley is finding her way among her new pack and honestly, I would have liked to have more about that aspect of the story and I’m hoping part 3 will deliver that.

The story ends with a rival pack entering the story.  Can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next to Ashley, Black and the pack.

Review:Protecting Their Mate (part 1) by Moira Rogers

Protecting Their Mate (Part One)
The Last Pack
Digital
7/24/2017
Blake is on a mission from his alpha–to track down a werewolf whose parents dragged her into the human world years ago, one who may be in danger. He expects the lead to go nowhere, given how few wolves live among humans, but he discovers something rare indeed, caged in a basement: a beautiful, curvy woman gripped by the fever, ready to mate.

Ashley Todd has never fit in. She’s always been too much–too big, too demanding, too aware of the wolf hiding beneath her skin. She’s been locked away for months—been alone for a lifetime—and in walks Blake to save her from her prison. Her rescuer is hard, intense—a dominant wolf whose bossy attitude makes her growl…and yearn to submit.

Soothing Ashley’s mating fever is Blake’s responsibility–and his pleasure. Their passion is explosive, undeniable. But what started out as a job for Blake quickly becomes something more, and the toughest part of his mission looms: taking Ashley back to his pack so she can choose her permanent mate from amongst his brethren.

Ashley is drawn to dominant Blake, but meeting the rest of the pack reignites her desire. She is overwhelmed by her new life and all it entails, but embracing her inner wolf means embracing the truth: if she doesn’t explore her attraction to the other members of the pack, she’ll never find her forever mate.

Protecting Their Mate was originally published as an eight part serial under the penname Mia Thorne. It has been repackaged, but the story remains the same.

What I thought about Protecting Their Mate (part 1)
Ashley has been in the dark about her true nature, and when her father locks her in the basement to keep her away from  others while she's in heat,  she wonders if she's been abandoned.  It isn't until Blake tries to set her free that she finds out that she's really a wolf.

Blake is the second in command in their small pack, and he's been sent by the alpha to find Ashley and bring her back.  What he didn't count on was having to service Ashley during her time of need.  She's in bad shape, craving sexual contact in the worse way and Blake has to get permission to take care of her, which he does quite well in a very hot and steamy scene.

When a few others from Blake's pack arrives, they also get to help Ashley, with Blake's approval.  Ashley must choose from the pack who she wants for her mate, and Blake isn't sure that he will be the one, especially when Ashley meets Lucas, the pack alpha.

This was a steamy, quick read that had me wanting part 2 right now!  Ashley really has only one thing on her mind, so I'm eager to see what she will be like when her heat is over and she has to choose one of the pack to be her mate.  

Overall, a very nice start to this shifter story. There really isn't anything unexpected in this story, but that didn't bother me as I got caught up in the story very quickly.  Can't wait for more!
