Description from the publisher:

Danger shouldn't be this sexy...

Cougar shifter Abby Carter always plays it safe. That's why she's an accountant--no excitement, no danger, and no cocky alpha males. She loves her quiet life, but fate has other plans. When Abby uncovers the shady dealings of an anti-shifter organization, she'll have to trust the too-sexy-for-her-peace-of-mind werewolf Declan Reed... or end up six feet under.

Declan Reed is starting over. After two years with Shifter Operations Command, it's time to put his past behind him. Now Declan is the only thing standing between the gorgeous Abby and an early grave, and if he's going to have any chance of keeping her alive, he'll have to embrace the darkness he's fought to keep at bay. But first he has to convince Abby that there's no safer place in the world than the arms of a big bad werewolf.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOLF’S MATE is the first book in the Shifter Rogues series.  While I’m sure that it is intended that each will stand on its own with a different romance featured, I’m sure that everyone should read this one first.  This is where you meet this sexy group of bad a** misfits and get a glimpse into the twisted metal that is their collective mind.

I love big kitties.  Here in Central Florida, we call them panthers.  We also have bobcats.  In fact, I have one in my neighborhood that will watch us as we do our yardwork!  These are solitary animals.  They like the quiet, simple life.  This is Abby Carter – a numbers girl – I get that!  - but she can’t resist Declan when he appears in her world any more than our bobcat can resist watching us plant the pretty flowers in the front yard.  Declan is her own irresistible catnip in yummy-man/big-bad-wolf form.

This book may have been all about Abby and Declan, but it is also the introduction to the whole sexy SHOC team.  I can’t wait to see them all find and fall one-by-one as their mates claim them. 

I hope Ms. Kyle and her team keep me on speed dial to continue this series.  Seriously, I will drop everything to push the next book to the top of my TBR list when it is ready!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
