See all formats and editions

Lizette Butler is determined to escape the clutches of her powerful pack alpha, Maxime Simard. He rejected her once, and she won’t let him control her destiny again. Raised by humans, she knows she’ll never be good enough for him, even if desire sizzles between them every time they’re together. But when Max orders her home unexpectedly, their forbidden attraction is as fiery and undeniable as ever.

Max has everything he could ever want—wealth, power, and a loyal army of wolves at his command. But the only thing he truly desires is Lizette, and he’ll stop at nothing to claim her. He’ll be ruthless if he has to, even if it means making her a prisoner while he fights for their future.

But when secrets come to light and outside forces threaten to tear them apart, it’s not just the future that’s at stake. Now, they’re in a fight for their lives and their love.

Sexy, sweet wolf shifter romance with some suspense

Enjoyable listening experience on Audible. Narrator did a good job. She fits the characters nicely and the performance is clear.

Loved the passion between Lizette and Maxime. Loved the wolf shifter aspect too. The premise was entertaining and I liked the characters. Maxime found out Lizette was his mate, but she was only 15 at the time and he was over 10 years older or so, so he keeps away from her. This is understandable, but I don't get why he didn't try when she was 18 years old; it's not until she's 24 that he finally decides to claim her. This story starts with Lizette being dragged back to the pack after living on her own as a human in college for 5 years, so she's not excited about going back. There's bad blood between Maxime and Lizette; Maxime pretty much makes bad decision after bad decision when it comes to how he treats Lizette. Lizette is attracted to Max, but he has mostly ignored her or treated her unfavorably when they were in each other's company. Max has a long way to go to win Lizette over. There's also a cool element of the shifters having some other powers besides just being able to change; one of Lizette's powers is highly sought after, so she's in danger from other shifters and needs to be protected. Lizette isn't the easiest to protect and let's herself get into some not so great situations. This was a pretty quick story; I enjoyed what was there, but would've loved to have a bit more meat to the story and for sure more to the ending. Overall, the story was steamy and entertaining. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

The writing was excellent, though the beginning had me confused to decipher the plot (still does). Was going to DNF because I was getting so frustrated, but the chemistry between our hero & heroine was so strong, I continued reading. And so glad I did because if you wait it out, the spice erupts and is oh-so-satisfying!

I liked it well enough. The characters were good, the setting was good. I probably won't be continuing the series but this was nice and entertaining.

This is the first book in what is to be a great series....I never heard of Bloodsingers before, but it is a very compelling Gift and I never heard of Lux Catena before either instead of Mating, but it is very interesting indeed.

This is a story full of heat and mystery. Both characters are very strong in their own ways, but that is what makes them right for each other even though Lizette is very weary of Max's intentions. The characters know what they want out of life even though Lizette's ideas of what she wants is not what she thought. Max knows right away that 15 year old Lizette is his mate, she has been raised by humans and he must give her space to grow into a woman if she's to accept who she is and if she is to accept him the most powerful Alpha this side of the Canadian Border and finish the Lux Catena with him. After all Lizette is not aware of the Gift that she has, 0ne that could change the way of life for many.

Find out what special Gift Lizette has and if she returns to Max after 5 years of living on her own and thinking that Max just sent her away 5 years ago with no feelings at all.

There is a lot of hotness at the near end, so get your towel ready, I loved it!

mixed feelings

This was an enjoyable read, seemingly ticked all my boxes and a no-brainier.

I had a few issues with the book though, which is why I am reluctant to give this a 5, and even wobbled on a 3…
1) the flashbacks were exhausting and at times felt they did nothing for the plot. I had a hard time with the fact the h was 15 when she met the H, who was in his twenties, and the flashbacks were not helping.

2) her memories of her parents were childish, I thought the author could have done more with these.

3) the H was at times a supper idiot and a supper candy and I got whiplash from trying to accept both sides of him.

Some of the plot was perfectly balanced and then some parts where a little off… I DNF’d bits here and there, especially with secondary characters. I think these were ground work for next books, but they were a bit boring for me.

Enjoyed this as a pallet cleanser, but not convinced to continue to the next book yet.

I've had this book for a while and just didn't get a chance to read it 😃. But I'm so glad that I did, cuz it really was worth it 😉. Lots of intense action and situations, just one bad guy, but I'm sure there will be more 😄. Thanks so much Amy, I'm truly looking forward to reading the next book 🤓.

A really enjoyable shifter romance involving rejection, second chances, age gap wolf romance. There was action, suspense, steam, I just think there needed to be more said about certain things and unanswered questions, but overall a good read. 3.5 stars
