Claimed by the Mate, Vol. 2 by Kate Douglas and A.C. Arthur

There are two distinct novels in this book.  The first is Wild Passions by Kate Douglas.  Meg Bonner is getting married to the man of her dreams but she doesn't feel worthy of his love.  Meg and her freinds book a week at Feral Passions as a pre-wedding trip.  The men of Feral Passions are a group of hot werewolves that are searching for their mates.

I don't know who is luckier, the men of Feral Passions or the women.  This was a fun romp with hot men and hotter sex.  The only thing that would have made this novel better was if Meg's fiancee Zach was one of the pack that was living in the human world.  Kind of sad that her friends get an extra long life and Meg doesn't.  I loved how this novel was multi-cultural.


The second novel is Her Perfect Mates by A. C. Arthur.  While the first novel was all sunshine happy shifter, this novel was the dark, brooding shifter.  It was marvelous.  Malec Zenta and Channing Verdi are two betas in a pack.  They have different backgrounds but are best friends and love sharing women.  A human vet has entered Malec's life when a mysterious person starts killing innocent animals.  Caroline Douglas had a rough childhood and young adulthood.  She is a survivor, a strong woman that was meant for two betas.

I have always loved Greek mythology and this book was perfect.  I loved the characters when they were introduced in Volume 1.  This is a marvelous continuation of the story.  Malec and Channing are smoking hot and night and day from each other.  I loved the play between the guys and Caroline.  This was a marvelous continuation.

I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!
