DeWitt's Pack #2
The Hunter's Omega Mate
[Siren Everlasting Classic Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, werewolves, HEA] When Tristan Scott ran away from his pack to avoid the roving eye of a cruel alpha, he never expected to save the life of Isaac Foster as he was drowning in the river, nor did he think the gorgeous man with purple eyes would be his mate, or a hunter of werewolves. Isaac has hunted werewolves ever since watching his family being murdered as a kid. He hasn't had time for relationships, but there's something about Tristan he can't get enough of. Their easy time together is shattered when they're attacked and Tristan is forced to transform to defend them. Isaac cannot believe it, and threatens to kill Tristan should the two ever meet again. But meet they do. They cannot separate themselves from each other, regardless of their enemy status, and soon they must decide whether or not a hunter really can love a werewolf without it jeopardizing both of their lives. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

This was half better than the first book... But I still feel this could have been so much better if it was a bit longer.

There was a comment about currents and clothing that was kind of weird. I mean, I get the reason behind the phrase; it was to create that bit of momentary, but excusable doubt so the big reveal later wouldn't be completely stupid, but it backfires because it makes sense. Taking the clothes off, that is. Not so much as to not weigh him down, though, as to minimize how much the current throws you around. It's a strong current. I'd think you want to give it as little ammunition as possible. If you're wearing clothes, not only would you have to fight against the current, but you'd also have to fight against your clothes being dragged by the current dragging you around. It'd been more believable if the author had Isaac stare at Tristan, stare at the strength of the current, and wonder how the hell Tristan could have dragged himself through that current, never mind him with him.
Still, it's pulp, so I suppose I shall have to excuse it. It did try so hard, after all.
I probably also would have weirded over the fact this stranger dude is apparently hiking around in flip-flops.
Having Isaac even consider that Tristan might be hiding from werewolves while he still thought him human was stupid. It would only have worked if there was some paragraph thing earlier about how he observed this sort of sadness, some sort of darkness in his past. Some line about "the shadow of loss." Maybe a little something about Tristan going quiet at times. Then you can have Isaac venture the speculation about werewolves, which would then make that line in the diner okay.
I'm completely overanalyzing this, but that's okay.
There was some excessive line about why a slinking stranger had to be a man (as opposed to a woman) with a really stupid justification that was completely unnecessary. The time the author put into that long-ass line should have been put elsewhere. The stranger is slinking in the shadows, yes, but we're going to assume Isaac (1) is not blind and (2) does not have shitty eyesight [no mention of him needing glasses] so it's okay for you to go out on that limb and go ahead and not explain. Also, the stranger was heading towards them, which means Isaac would only be able to get better and better looks at him. Sheesh.
And the first separation...I get it. Isaac ain't thinking clearly. He feels betrayed and shit. But damn, think about it.
The rest of it...I dunno. I read it mechanically. At some point, my interest in the shallow angst faded and I kind of let myself zone my way through it.

I think I like this series. Even if the writing could improve some more and the stories could becomes longer, more detailed, the characterization stronger.
As for the whole hunter with werewolf thing? I found Isaac’s train of thoughts and his reactions a lot more believable than what we usually get.
The sex has an edge of realness, as does the way the guys handle it. (Yeah, the lack of lube is grating but they seem somewhat crazed with lust at the time and horny guys do stupid things.) To my delight no scene is drawn out gratuitously. So the sex may be over too fast for some, but to me it just works with what it is trying to convey.
That realness applies to other areas as well; very little in this series so far is perfect. People are not superheroes at all, despite the wolf thing, and solutions are not easily obtainable either. There’s no money to solve things, and sometimes good people have to succumb to bad decisions for the wellbeing of the group.
Yeah, all in all? This is good stuff. With the exception that love apparently functions like a light switch that you can just flip on.
Anyway, I will close this out with a quotation, because I can.

“Wait.” He looked over his shoulder.
Isaac was looking back at him with that panicked, deer-in-the-headlights look that usually came when someone stopped sex. “What?”

2.5 stars
This rating is based on the fact that I didn't expect much from this book; after all it was from the beginning obvious that two mates would find and after lots of sex eventually accept each other. Needless to say that, this book had the usual editing problems which have somehow become the trade mark of this author. Though, to be fair, compared to many of her other books, the editing problems weren't too annoying or too many. It also seems that the author has never gone through a surgery or halfway serious injuries or even nursed a somebody who has!!!!
But all in all it is a light, fast and fun read, which doesn't demand active reading or concentration. It is one of those books which are suitable for when your mentally but not physically exhausted.

The setup is pretty similar to The Alpha Wolf Kidnaps a Mate so if you have issues with lube and condoms, and lack of wooing like in the first book, it may not be as enjoyable a read. Looking pass all that it wasn't a bad accompaniment to the series. The story was intriguing; I though it was a bit more exciting than the first book. I look forward to reading about Mick and his mate.

3.5 rounded up. I listened to the audio version of this book b/c it is narrated by one of my favs, Peter B. Brook. He is wonderful and the only reason this is 3.5 and not 2.5. The story is your basic human/shifter romance. This is the second book in this series that I have listen to. There are some non traditional aspects in this book; like multiple alphas in a pack, shifters who "eat" people (WTF?), so it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But it was a good short listen for me.

This title was originally reviewed for Prism Book Alliance®
Brooke's narration fits the stories well. His gruff voice brings these gruff men/wolves to life. However, when the character calls for a softer touch, he delivers equally well. He is passionate in his delivery and draws you into the world Jacks has created.

3.5...I enjoyed this storyline quite a bit more than The Alpha Wolf Kidnaps a Mate, It seemed as there was more of a background/explaination behind Issac's motives.
