Born to Be Were #2
The Pack: Mercy's Choice
Born of two ancient packs Mercy was always destined to take her place amongst the werewolf community. Unfortunately, her family kept that secret from her until they were forced to admit the changes in her had more to do with being a werewolf than a growing teenager.
Devastated by her family’s betrayal and held back by her own fears Mercy struggles to accept her werewolf side until a very desirable she-wolf arrives in town and threatens her relationship with Alec, the male werewolf that claims Mercy is the female destined to be his.
Now faced with losing her mate to the scheming female, Mercy must overcome her past fears and embrace what it truly means to be a werewolf, but in order for that to happen she must trust the very people who withheld her destiny from her and begin learning how to be part of the pack.

This could have been a 5* read with an editor. The storyline was good and I really enjoyed the tension in the book. :)

OK, I will be totally honest – I slammed the first book because of spelling and grammar issues. But I loved the story, so I put those thoughts aside and grabbed this book. I’m glad I did.
Does it still have the same issues? Yeah, but I just decided to chill and enjoy the book for the story itself. And what a good story it is. Ms. Flynn knows how to spin a supernatural yarn, and these two books are some of the better shifter books I’ve read in quite a while. She nails it. The tale (tail?) is intriguing, the characters are cool, the dialogue snappy.
The female villain is just one of the most wretched characters to come along in…well, a long time. I was sincerely hoping for a house to fall out of the sky and drop on her head. And the guys? They’re a riot. Because every single alpha male (with the exception of Gregory) is an idiot at some point in the book. They were so freaking clueless, with Alec taking first place, Luc taking second (but Alec is so far ahead it isn’t even a contest). They made me laugh. This alpha male would just like to add the disclaimer that we are not all idiots.
Mercy was great. She’s strong, she’s brave, she’s determined. Sure she’s conflicted – she’s a werewolf and she has lycanophobia (it’s a real word, I promise). But she handles it. And she never falls into the stupid trap, which so many authors feel they must push their female MCs into. And while there is a Big Mistake, it’s Alec who makes it – not once, not twice, but through 90% of the book! I Given Alec’s people skills, maybe Gregory should hand the Pack off to his cousin Herbie.
Yup, looking forward to the third.

Nothing like having a B with an itch to show a woman what is worth fighting for! It's amazing to see Mercy's determination to overcome her problems (At least after she is done throwing her tantrum when Marlo slaps some sense into her. <3 you Marlo!!). A truly captivating read!
In this second edition to Donna's "Born to be Were" series,mercy struggles to accept her new werewolf nature and the betrayal of those closest to her. Kept in the dark about her heritage, and having feared the very thing she's become since she was six, Mercy is not confident that she will ever be capable of accepting Pack life. But what a friend from Alec's past shows up to claim him as her mate, Mercy will do everything in her power to accept what she is, and to prove herself a mate worthy of Alec.
I have always adore the books by Ms. Flynn. She never manages to disappoint. Her grammar and other such skills are often found to be wanting, but once you get past that, she will lead you on a journey of love, loyalty, and unending faith that is truly magical and not at all found wanting.

Once again this second book is full of cliches. The big problem is that the word substitutions in the editing could make you cry.
The other thing that gets my goat is the virginal 'I'm not ready' thing. Yawn yawn. This is definitely one of those themes that goes on and on and bores me to death. How annoying. Being a sucker, I'll still go on to the next book.
