Guest Review: To Tame His Mate – Serena Pettus

Sarah has spent the last six years running from some pretty determined wolves. A born Alpha, and a fierce fighter, she has managed to thwart the best efforts of the neighboring packs in their attempts to force a mating with their current Alphas. She is determined to live her life the way she wants—free—and has fought her way to freedom more times than she should have had to. All she’s ever wanted was the chance to find her one true mate and settle down outside of the hierarchy bullshit of Pack life. If that means she has to do so by staying one step ahead of her pursuers, until she finds that man, then that’s just what she’ll do. The only problem now is that her years of running have forced her to trust no one… until she meets Erik.

Erik is a lone wolf himself, but offers his help when an injury befalls the lovely she-wolf he discovers on his property. Attraction sparks and he soon realizes—much to his own surprise—that she is his destined mate.

Shortly after deciding to give the whole thing a trial run, their mutual attraction overwhelms them, but danger is still stalking her, and Erik is determined to find a way to keep her safe.

Now, can Erik convince Sarah that they belong together and tame her wilder side enough to claim her as his own?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This was my first Resplendence Publishing read and I loved it! I am a HUGE fan of shifter books and when I read the blurb, I had to pick this book up.

I love reading about strong female characters and how their past experiences shape them into better women. Sarah is a headstrong alpha wolf who doesn’t want to conform to the structured Pack life of wolf society. She wants to be free to live and love on her terms.

She finds that love with Erik, a very yummy alpha wolf, who just happens to have three equally yummy alpha wolf brothers (which hopefully will be showcased in future books!).

Sarah kicks major ass in this book. I can’t tell you how many times I laughed out loud and silently cheered her on when she defended herself and her choices. And Erik is so dreamy! He is easy-going, polite, generous, patient, and supports her independence and her need for a life free of Pack structure. Sarah is hesitant to trust Erik but soon finds out that he is genuine in his actions and in his pursuit of her trust and her heart. Erik and Sarah complimented each other so well and I loved watching their journey.

I also enjoyed watching the love interest unfold with the secondary characters, Stephanie, a human physician’s assistant new to the area, and Abraham, Erik’s oldest brother and a former Navy SEAL. Abraham is stone-cold serious but is lost when he encounters the beautiful spitfire. Stephanie and Sarah are a lot alike; both fighters with a snarky wit and both on the run from past transgressions.

The story captured and held my attention the entire time and the only downside is that I have to wait until September for the second book to come out!
