Ellie and Gabe. Ellie has grown up shunned by her own shifter pack because she can't shift. She now lives away from all that until she meets Gabe. The blurb was a little exaggerated. He does discover something he didn't know about her, but not because she didn't tell him. She just didn't give him names. There's a lot going on for such a short story. Ellie is more than she thought she was... much more, and her character had more depth than Gabe's. He's just your quintessential alpha shifter. Would have liked to have had him fleshed out a bit more. So when they meet, it's insta mate/love and then the misunderstanding, and separation, reunion and the bad guy. It's a fun read and pretty low angst. A nice quick HEA fix. Would love to read more by this author but the cost of her books is prohibitive. $4 for 130 pages of ebook is pretty steep. And no, I don't spend that much on coffee every day.
Quick reread because I noticed I never wrote a review. I originally picked it up because it was on a rejected mate list, but it really wasn’t.
Gabe and Ellie meet, she’s had a crappy life because she never received her wolf and jumps at the chance to have a mate and new family. The rejection was really dumb. She told him she was abused but for no logical reason kept certain parts secret, and when misunderstandings happen she for no logical reason stares on mutely rather than filling her mate in looking guilty.
Then stuff happened, she keeps more secrets because she’s a moron, more stuff happens, things get weird with a bear, the end.
Bottom Line- I don’t recommend this for anyone looking for any type of rejected mate vibes. It will leave you feeling disappointed.
I freakin' love this story. Oh man, I hope she continues with it and makes it a series. Or a continuation for this story. It would stink if this was the ONLY book. If it was, it should of been longer the 90 pages or so.
The story is that Ellie was born a human in a wolf pack. The Alpha, her father, despised her and thus shun her out of the pack. Out of all the pack members, her brother was the only one that took care of her. Her was her everything. She leaves the pack to live as a human. Then Gabe, her mate comes in. This is where the typical mate meets mate and attraction happens. But once Gabe finds out who her father is, he rejects her. Ellie of course is devastated and leave.
I won't give more then that because I want you to read to story and find out the unforeseen events. Even the ones I didn't see coming.
Ellie’s mate has found her and she is willing to get to know him even though her past experience in her father’s pack has left her distrusting wolf shifters except her brother and Aiden. Even though Gabe asks her who hurt her she won’t tell him who her fathers is because she doesn’t want her brother hurt in the process. Just as Ellie starts trusting in the faith she has put in Gabe and their relationship the truth comes calling and he turns his back on her. Now Ellie has to face a new adventure without her mate. I say anymore and I may spoil the whole damn book for the next reader.
I just finished Reclaiming His Discarded Mate only to turn around read it again the next day, it’s crazy because really, it’s not riveting or anything but the darn books just calls to me or something, ugh. Oh, well, the book really is a decent read, it could use a once over to correct a few edits to smooth out the flow a little more.

I loved this story, it was a shock to see what Ellie truly was but a good one. I loved that Gage became so supportive of her and accepted Noah and Adian so easily. a fantastic book
This is a first book for me by this author & I really enjoyed it. It has a shifter read storyline that was interesting & held my interest all the way thru. Ellie is used to rejection, having experienced it all her life but deep down wishes to be loved for who she is. Gabe doesn't want a mate or isn't ready to settle down but that all changes when he meets his mate. Can't wait for more in this series. Would definitely read more.
