Book Review: A Mate's Denial by P. Jameson

 

Book Description

The prophecy says she'll reject him but this wolf shifter is about to make her an offer she can't refuse...

Trager was only a wolfling when a devastating foretelling by the pack elders made him an outcast, exiled from his home in the Ozark Mountains. Though he is destined to be denied by his mate, he’s spent the years planning, waiting . . . hunting her. Now that he’s found her, he decides to take fate into his own hands and win her heart. But when a rival wolf pack threatens to destroy the very shifters who cast him out, he’ll have to return to the Ozark Mountains to save them, and convince the woman he’s falling for, to help.

It's been a year since Kerrigan lost the love of her life in a tragic motorcycle accident, and she is finally ready to move on. Especially since she was never the love of his. But being with a man who couldn’t appreciate her curves has left her heart ragged. A roughened biker, who's hot enough to stop her breath, is the very last thing she's looking for. Except apparently he's been looking for her, and even though she doesn’t totally love herself, he stares at her like she sets his world on fire. To be accepted, wanted, as she is, is her deepest desire, and Trager seems to want every inch of her. But she’s not sure if she can risk her heart again with someone who could so easily crush it.

*** Book One of P. Jameson's Ozark Mountain Shifter series of stand-alone romances***

My Review

Trager is a wolf shifter who was kicked out of his pack when he was just 12 years old because the elders had a vision that he would be rejected by his mate and therefore he would be of no use to the pack. He was just a boy but he made it and then he meets Kerrigan years later. She is still hurting and mistrustful because of an ex-boyfriend and doesn't trust Trager at first. But he's was so sweet, attentive and persistent that Kerrigan ends up spending time with him and seeing that he is actually nothing like the rough biker type that he looks like. 

When Trager is told by someone that his old pack is in danger, he wants to help since his family is still there. The same family that turned their backs on him but he still wants to help them. But the alpha of the pack is a nasty piece of work. I didn't realize just how nasty this alpha was until the end of the book but yeah, he's not a nice guy. 

Watching Trager and Kerrigan get to know one another after she finds out he's a wolf shifter was fun even though there are some missteps on both of their parts. Like I've said before, you have to be able to communicate your concerns if you are going to be in a relationship otherwise there will be problems. 

My only problem with this book was that it ended on a cliffhanger. The story was great. The characters were really good and I want to read the next book, I just hope it doesn't end of a cliffhanger too. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
