Marked!
Marked! by Jaxx Steele
Sharing what you know with your lover can give him the power he needs to win, especially when he’s fighting a rogue wolf.
Mark Delonco was betrayed, ostracized, rejected, beaten and left for dead by a pack brother. As he wanders the forest, an unfamiliar scent brings him to a gruesome scene—and his betrayer. Another confrontation brings not only victory for the moment but also the possibility for love and redemption.
Victor Bradley could never maintain a relationship with anyone and he didn’t know why. It wasn’t that something was wrong with the men he chose, it was just that no one ever felt right to him. While visiting his forest home, a stranger appears at the door and changes his life. How can he know a man he has never met?

About the
My writings are a combination of some things that I have learned over the years, good and bad, mixed up with a lot of imagination. I can only hope that you like what you read.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but I escaped and I now live in Indiana. My dream is to buy a house near the beach and write all day and make enough money to live off it. I spend most of my time working a nine to five and traveling, when I can, to new and wondrous places that I can incorporate in to my stories (or that will at least spark ideas for me). I do have love in my life thanks to my life partner, Hou, and our cat, Judo, who graciously lets us live with him in his house. So, all in all, I have a full and happy life.

3 star review by Lily
Wow! The start of this story is amazing, adrenaline pumping to the point I was left breathless. As you can imagine I was glued to my chair.
This is a sweet paranormal romance oozing with sensuality. It is action packed as you can imagine after all, Mark was a rejected pack member. His betrayer is still around and continuing to be a bully and a deceiver.
Victor is a victim of this betrayer and you need to read how he became of victim. The romance between Victor and Mark is almost instant once Victor becomes an adult. I struggled in that scene, I must say partly the dialogue was not unique so I was not shocked or left breathless and partly because of the instant start of their bonding. It spends a fair amount of time of the sex scene between Mark and Victor which is a nice read but is fluffy and predictable language like “My God, you are incredible! I have wanted to feel like this for so long.”
The other thing is Mark at the beginning appeared to be the alpha but somehow Victor with his human abilities was another alpha. I couldn’t get my head around that but saying that I liked how Mark was portrayed. He had weaknesses so he was more than just a handsome werewolf. He often was losing his fight with Raymond who is the betrayer in the story but mark still did not quit and tried to win his rightful place in this pack. That part was very endearing. The fight between Mark and Raymond was described well and was easy to visualize for me which was very engaging.
This is an easy to read story with a predictable plot but nevertheless still an enjoyable story.

Overall Impression:
3.75 * – I liked it - This was a cute story that implored everything you could want from a paranormal story. You have werewolf sprites, the magic of the forest, and of course with heartache blooms love..
This faced paced story really was able to hit all parts to make a story a true fairy tale. You had a villian, a faiy godmother, a knight in shining armour, and a simple man.Jaxx weaved a story of honor, truth and redemption and of course the outcome of true love and reaching ones true destiny. I was impressed by his usage of the different paranormal species and how they worked together to bring about the redemption of Marks unjust disgrace. He also allowed for the love even though it happened in fast forward to become amazing. The way Jaxx used the bond to allow Victor to relive what he needed to know was brilliant. He also was successful in creating scenes that would steam up a window.
