First off, I was lucky to win this third installment of the Red Moon Pack series, through the Goodreads M/M Romance Group. I would like to thank the group for the contests they offered and the author for participating in giving this story as a choice in prizes.
I was looking forward this Nathan's story. Slowly, but surely we are finding mates for our guys in the pack. Though, it is strange that male mates have never been known... and now they are popping up everywhere(within the pack).
Okay, onwards... so why did I give it two stars. One, I felt it could have been a bit more organized. I felt the storyline had great potential but it came across as rushed and there were parts that were very confusing to me. I would have LOVED to see this story at least twice as long, so it would have flowed better. It sort of came across as an outline with highlights.
I really liked that we follow Nathan as he finds his, not just one, but two mates. I thought it was interesting, how he had known his first mate already, then had the 'moment', and that they had asecond mate who was a Hunter, their enemy. I feel that was a great idea to put into a storyline. Usually, I don't like menages, but with these three guys, I wasn't that put off at all by it. I was afraid that Ryan(the Hunter) would be a third wheel, forced into the relationship with the other two. I felt that wasn't the case with our boys. Ryan(when he came to accept it), slipped right in with the other two. I was pleasantly surprised how the author presented Ryan into the other two's relationship(bedroom). Once we get them as a group, I felt the love between them all was equally spread out.
The beginning, I was so confused, still am. I couldn't keep up who's POV we were following. It came across that Nathan was bi, but later on appearantly he was straight?? Sabestian, I thought was always gay, but maybe not? So maybe a double GFY? Not sure, but regardless they are mates. Just like with Ethan and Isaiah, they already knew one another before they had the 'moment'. The moment that told them they were mates. But something is missing... they had a third mate out there somewhere.
We have Ryan, the Hunter. Never truly found out his sexual preference, but he is mated two not one but TWO shifters. He hates shifters. One killed his parents when he is young, but over the years his view on how to deal with them has changed. He feels they should be killed, but not tortured.
So, things happen, and Sabestian/Nathan are held prisoner. They meet Ryan. Ryan is set against his feelings towards the shifters. Nathan knows right away, but Sabestian is on the edge about Ryan.
I was hoping to see my turmoil with Ryan and accepting the fact that he has two shifter as mates and what he has to do to keep them. Then we get to the end, which I felt was the most rush. Anyways, the ending for our menage is wrapped up at least.
Then we have the epilogue? Which had nothing to our menage, but a setup with the next book. It will be about Nicholas, but it doesn't explain how he got where he is located?? I hope it explains how he ended up there.

Life is heating up for the Red Moon pack in more ways that one!
Nathan, Alpha Heir, watched his older brother find his perfect mate. While happy for Noah, he can't help but wonder how much longer the fates will make him wait for his turn...
Sebastian wasn't even thinking about finding his mate the day he turned up for a routinely scheduled patrol, but the minute Nathan's scent hit his nose, Sebastian knew that he was standing in front of the wolf that was destined to be his.
Overjoyed to find each other, they are both blown away to discover that they are not a fully bonded pair. While it may never happen, they have the potential to form a rare (but not completely unheard of) mated triad.
With the dark cloud that is the Hunters casting shadows ever closer to their borders, Nathan and Sebastian are more than happy just to have found each other and are focused on strengthening their newly formed bond when the unthinkable occurs, the Hunters strike again, and life as they know it is once again tossed on it's head.
The plot thickens in this action packed series as CONQUERED MATE offers readers further insight into the madness that is the Hunters. With an intense plotline and sizzling sexual chemistry, this is my favorite in Vanessa Sims Red Moon Pack series so far!

REVIEW
Nathan is Alpha Heir and brother to Noah the pack leader.
Since Noah has mated with a male that means no kids so Nathan would be next up.
Sebastian is a delta in the pack and when him and Nathan are out on patrol one night well guess what? The scent happens.
These two men barely know each other so they begin at the beginning and Oh so sexy it gets.
But that is not the end of the story oh no.. Its one thing to have another male as your fated mate but what happens next in the story will shock them all.
Another short m/m story with a twist . I enjoyed this one as we get a bit more suspense and the shocker is great however I really wish the stories were longer letting us get to know the characters.
I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest review

I was gifted an arc of this book by the author for an honest review
So we have a threesome here.
Let me start with the fact that i am happy the is no female going stirr crazy in this story.
So..
Lets start with the fact that despite the fact that Sebastian was not out of the closet and Nathan being straight...nathan did an awesome job in the sex deparment. Ok so how a straight man takes it so well that his mate is a man and takes sex so well its beyond me.
Ohh and all of their first time was an easy one.Causing taking things up you bum is easy...wth?
Also when they meet Ryan he's been playing with toys?
Excuse me i have nothing against Gay men or women (my best friend is Gay ) but is this pack living in gay land and all the towns around are also with gay people?
And what in the name of the god will this pack end up with almost everyone mated to males?
Questions ,Questions...
Still as the stories progress the writing is better and the plot also more intresting.

Nathan is the Alpha Heir, Sebastian is a beta in training, Ryan is a hunter and all three will have to come together to save the Red Moon Pack from the hunters in this exciting m/m/m shifter romance.
All three men are vastly different and never would have thought they could be together but fate has other ideas and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as first Nathan and Sebastian realize that though they are mates something is missing and what a surprise that something turns out to be. The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning while the well written scenes and details capture the imagination. Lots of excitement ensures that there is never a dull moment in this fast paced and smooth flowing plot full of suspense and passion. The hunters are still out to get the Red Moon Pack but things are more complicated than ever as the danger escalates and keeps readers on their toes and of course I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book in the Red Moon Pack series.
Nathan is the heir to the Red Moon Pack. Now that his brother has taken a male as a mate it will be his responsibility to provide an heir. When he finally meets his mate Sebastian he is thrilled. Except they both feel like there is still something missing.
The last member to their triad.
The only problem is that their third is a hunter. Ryan lost his parents because of a rogue wolf. His hate for them knows no bounds. Until he mates Nathan and discovers that there might just be more to these wolves he has hated most of his life.
The plot twists in this one had me trying to figure out what would happen next. I enjoyed the different sides we got. Both the hunter and the hunted. And of course I loved Nathan and his mates!

Painful connection
Nathan and Sebastian have never really been around each other before and one night while assigned to go out on patrol together, they realize there mates. But once they claim each other they feel like a part is still missing. After getting captured by some hunters they find out one of the hunters is there other mate. But even if they ever did get to claim him, could he ever be trusted?

I really am liking these stories about The Red Moon Pack. Each story is longer than the last so far and are written very well. Nathan is the Alpha Heir, Noah's younger brother (book 2). This story was about Nathan and his mates, one which is human and a member of the Hunters. I'm anxious to get into the next book in the line up to see what happens with Nathan's twin brother Nicholas.

I liked the idea behind the story, but just like the previous books it felt rush. I wanted to feel a closer connection between the MCs. Plus, some paragraphs were repetitive.
On the good side, I enjoyed the events and plot twists. The dynamics were interesting and the book has some funny moments.
