Spell Mate

Rate this book
A war started by her father.

A spell gone wrong.

And one werewolf who accidentally falls in love with her.

Inexperienced witch Rayne is thrust into a werewolves’s dungeon thanks to the sins of her father. A quick escape, however, doesn’t exactly bring her, her freedom. Instead it brings her face to face with the beta of a nearby pack who finds himself falling victim to her uncontrollable magic.

In a twisted turn of events he also finds himself mated to Rayne. The mated bond is something neither of them expected but they’re not necessarily fighting.

Beast

I knew one day it would come to this. A fully shifted mating and I was fully present and accounted for. Judge not least you be judged. This was a really good erotica but it was also a very sweet PNR at the same time. I’m loving the things Bash is doing as she dives further into her paranormal bag. I’d happily return to this couple and this world over and over.

HOT!!!

One thing about ML she gone get us in and out of a book real quick. However, that book is going to have a lot of good story telling with all the feels.

Declan didn’t play Rayne. Once they mated that was it. He was stepping about that girl and giving her that meat. I loved this for both of them. Him falling first and kept reassuring her was everything. Loved the way he talked to and handled her. She was his and he was hers. No questions asked. It’s truly a good feeling when a person knows what they want, makes it know and have actions to back it up.

A favorite thing i adore is when a couple washes each other and the man shampoos his woman’s hair.

Yes to all of this….

ML Bash does it again. The erotica was PRESENT and I enjoyed every single moment!!!! Declan was not playing with ANYONE over Rayne. The details gave me exactly what I needed in every aspect of this story. Like she painted a VERY VIVID story. Loved it!!!

This Was My Jam

This story has a lot of my favorite kinks and tropes. Especially the baby making scene. 🔥🔥🔥 There's really not much characterization. MMC is the big, strong protective partner who's understanding, while being lethal to anyone that opposes their mate. FMC is an abused, friendly formerly imprisoned who puts up very little resistance adapting to her new life as a werewolf's mate. Pretty easy since she's leaving nothing behind. Nice little spicy read with dark elements.

Could have used more editing. There were some typos, grammar, and who is speaking issues. 👌🏾🖤

I really wish that Goodreads showed the cover for this book, but whatever.

A paranormal romance that includes two men and a woman. Then add on that your dad is the reason why the werewolf is out in the area, plus the main reason why you ran from the jail cell at your first opportunity. I want to talk more about this, but I also want this to be experienced on your own. It's a good story and I'm happy for the recommendation!

Also, let's point out that Declan and Allister, I appreciate them! Declan stands by Rayne, and Allister stands by his brother. Lovely just lovely.

Almost Had Me Spellbound

This book had a really interesting concept, and I liked the mix of magic, mystery, and romance. The connection between the main characters kept me curious, and there were a few scenes that really pulled me in. But overall, it didn’t grab me the way I hoped, some parts felt a little rushed or hard to follow. I still enjoyed the creativity and the world the author built, but it just didn’t fully hit for me.

Short, sweet and spicy.

Declan and Rayne are accidentally mated by a clumsy spell Rayne casts. It turns out to be a happy and spicy accident that they both choose to accept. While this is a paranormal novella, she’s a witch and he is a werewolf, their insta-love is beautifully crafted and well executed. Even the epilogue had me smiling and kicking my feet. Enjoy!

What’s meant to be!

At this point they might as well crown you the queen of spicy paranormal novellas because this was absolutely amazing!
I was in for a surprise with the new “play” but I liked it!!!!! I would like more shifted play!!
Rayne and Declan were meant to be, the chemistry was there. They were mated accidentally but it all worked!

I don’t know what I was expecting but I was thoroughly surprised. If you like erotica & paranormal romances then this is the book for you cause baby this wasn’t nothing but straight smut between a wolf shifter & a witch lol. There is a little drama in the first two chapters but after that Declan was turning Rayne every which way but loose.

I really liked this novella. It was quick to the world building of Rayne and what her father did to the plot of how she was not to be judged by the pack of the man who loved her from said pack, Declan. I love the banter of him telling her she was his, and how she accepted being his. Now, the shifting scene to werewolf for her to get used to him, wheewwwww.

Spell Mate is steamy, thrilling, and mostly immersive. It’s one of those reads where you feel the sparks, the magic, and the desire in every page, though at times the story left me wanting more clarity. Rayne and her unexpected mate share a connection that is intense, and the mated bond adds a layer of urgency that makes many scenes intoxicating. I’d give this one a 3.5 out of 5.

Spicy paranormal Novella

The spice in the book was really good I just wished the plot and story line was a little better. However since it was a short story I found it to be good overall and I would read more from this author! 💖

amazing

This book was not what I expected in the best way. I went into this blind and was very happy to read how the title came into play!

The love between Declan & Rayne was so beautiful! I wish I could read it for the first time all over again

I love this story. Loved how Declan got down. How protective he was of Rayne from their initial contact and how he kept that fierce connection and love for her all throughout. This was something I read straight through and definitely recommend.

🔥..my first read by this author

I loved the automatic mating, the obsession, and possessiveness over each other. The kill and die for your mate was 🫦. I wish it was longer, I definitely could have used more

Under the moon great things happen

I was not ready for this one. I stopped several times to take a cold shower because I was so hot and bothered reading this. I’m not new to paranormal but honey Rayne and DeClan left me wanting somebody with an inner wolf to bite my neck.

Amazing!

This was my first paranormal romance and it was so good. It was amazing! A short enough read perfect for a first intro but I’m definitely sold. Also ML Bash did her thing with this one.
