Ben
Après avoir quitté son ancienne meute d’Alaska, Benjamin est à la recherche d’un homme qu’il pourrait appeler sien. Sa meute d’Alaska ne savait pas quoi faire d’un loup hybride et gay. Le seul homme avec lequel il avait espéré se lier avait raté la nuit des réclamations ce qui avait indiqué à Ben qu’il ferait mieux aller de l’avant.
Malheureusement, alors qu’il trouve Thomas, son ancien amour traque Ben pour le réclamer. Que va faire Ben avec deux magnifiques loups-garous qui veulent tous les deux de lui pour compagnon ? Peut-il enseigner à deux alphas que parfois c’est plus amusant de partager ? Ou bien Ben sera-t-il forcé de choisir entre un nouvel amour et une ancienne flamme ?

Amber Kell
179 books1,281 followersAmber Kell has made a career out of daydreaming. It has been a lifelong habit she practices diligently as shown by her complete lack of focus on anything not related to her fantasy world building.
When she told her husband what she wanted to do with her life he told her to go have fun.
During those seconds she isn't writing she remembers she has children who humor her with games of 'what if' and let her drag them to foreign lands to gather inspiration. Her youngest confided in her that he wants to write because he longs for a website and an author name—two things apparently necessary to be a proper writer.
Despite her husband's insistence she doesn't drink enough to be a true literary genius she continues to spin stories of people falling happily in love and staying that way.
She is thwarted during the day by a traffic jam of cats on the stairway and a puppy who insists on walks, but she bravely perseveres..

This is the second book in the Moon Pack series it was a quick fun read. Ben is a lone wolf far away from his old pack, and searching for a mate. When he goes to Silver's club he meets Thomas. Right away they recognize they are mates and despite some initial misgivings because of Ben's lone wolf status the men mate and claim each other. Everything is going good for them until Dillon arrives to claim Ben, his mate. Ben was in love with Dillon but when Dillon didn't claim him he gave up that dream. Now he's got two men saying he's their mate, he loves them both and has no idea what to do. Luckily with the help of Silver and Anthony, the pack Alpha and his mate, the guys figure out how to make their relationship work. This book was a lot better then the first one and I love a good ménage I would have liked more sex scenes.

Non, non, non. Trop c'est trop!
Je ne comprends pas cette volonté de vouloir toujours écrire des histoires où il n'y a pas une once de psychologie, de sentiments vrais, d'histoire qui se tienne...
Ce livre est pour moi ce qui se fait de pire dans le M/M, en entache l'image, et ferait détester un triangle amoureux aux adeptes du genre. Je n'ai rien aimé! Les personnages, leur histoires...
Mais pire encore, j'ai détesté la traduction!!!
Je pense qu'il n'y a pas eu de relecture syntaxique, simplement une correction orthographique! Les phrases sont lourdes, indigestes, et surtout ne veulent parfois rien dire! Et ça commence dès la dédicace: "Je dédie ce livre à tous ceux qui aiment les loups, ainsi que l’idée que des personnes puissent prendre cette forme".
Puis on assiste à un ballet de phrases plus mal construites les unes que les autres...
Je trouve honteux de faire payer 2.68€ pour 64 pages mal traduites et pas relues quand on prétend être une maison d'éditions spécialisée dans le M/M...

I am very glad that I decided to read further than the first installment. I really enjoyed this second book in the series and it gave me a better idea of the flow of these short stories. I adored Ben, Thomas, and Dillon. Plus, watching the havoc Anthony is causing for their alpha was hysterical.
This was a fun story and now I'm looking forward to more.

Era tutto perfetto, niente bdsm, finalmente un libro con una bella coppia di lupi...e poi sbam inserisce il terzo.
Perchè? Ma perchè, maledizione...
Come per il precedente, poteva benissimo arrivare a 4 stelline.

Doppia Recensione

Dopo questo secondo capitolo della saga “I Figli della Luna” posso senza ombra di dubbio affermarvi che adoro la Kell.
Prima di iniziare a parlarvi della storia vi dico che la mia recensione sarà sulla trama del libro e sullo svolgimento dei fatti, non prendo in considerazione né la traduzione, né i vari errori… Non sarebbe giusto penalizzare l’autrice per una cosa di cui non ha colpe.
Detto questo, passiamo al libro. In queste pagine facciamo la conoscenza di Ben, Dillon e Thomas… ebbene si, un trittico favoloso!! La storia d’amore dei tre è allucinante, i lupacchiotti dentro di loro sono spettacolari. Un misto di dolcezza, lacrime e amore che ti riempe il cuore. Nota positivissima, e punto a favore dell’autrice, è che in questo secondo capitolo ritroviamo i personaggi del libro precedente. Spesso vengono nominati e altre volte entrano proprio nel vivo delle scene.
In queste pagine, possiamo anche vedere l’evoluzione dell’amore tra Anthony e Silver, e sinceramente a me può fare solo piacere. Mentre il nuovo rapporto a tre inizia non senza difficoltà, l’amore degli altri due cresce…
Carinissimo. Bella la trama e bellissime anche le scene di sesso.

Ho terminato da poco il primo volume della serie ed ecco che ho tra le mani il secondo… che bello, ho pensato, finalmente la storia tra Anthony e Silver progredisce e si approfondisce… invece niente di tutto questo! Certo sono presenti, ma marginalmente, e devo dire che questo mi ha indispettito e non poco perché troppo era rimasto ad un livello superficiale.
Ma veniamo a questa storia i cui protagonisti sono sempre mutaforma “lupini” ( chissà se sono buoni da mangiare?) e sono in tre.
Tutto ruota intorno a Benjamin Sallen, lupo solitario, fuggito dall’Alaska, dal suo branco e da Dillon, di cui è innamorato ma che non l’ ha reclamato durante la cerimonia di rivendicazione, nel suo viaggiare approda al club di Silver Moon in cerca di un compagno, che trova in Thomas Moon, tutto sembra andare per il verso giusto fino al momento in cui Dillon fa la sua comparsa… vi renderete conto quindi che iniziano i guai. Riuscire a far mettere d’accordo due lupi che rivendicano entrambi Ben non è certo una cosa semplice, anche Ben da parte sua non riesce davvero a scegliere tra Thomas e Dillon, che sente ambedue come suoi compagni.
Non aggiungo altro, lo spoiler è dietro l’angolo, un piccolo indizio: Anthony ci metterà il suo grano di pepe!
Anche in questo secondo racconto, perché più di questo non può essere considerato, l’autrice approfondisce molto poco i personaggi e gli eventi, molti dei quali si svolgono un po’ troppo frettolosamente, non voglio dare un giudizio negativo, ma mi sarei aspettata tutt’altra cosa visto che le premesse del primo mi avevano entusiasmato.

J'avais considéré le tome 1 comme une petite mise en bouche pour introduire la série, sympathique mais un peu brouillonne, espérant voir développer dans les épisodes à venir toutes les pistes abordées, et creuser plus en profondeur l'univers où vit la meute de la lune... Ce n'est pas le cas dans ce tome 2 , hélas. Certes, on retrouve avec plaisir l'alpha Silver et son indiscipliné soumis, le trop bel Anthony, mais on en découvre pas plus ni sur la meute, son fonctionnement, ses membres, ni sur les pouvoirs qu'Anthony tient de son cher grand papa (à part qu'il peut foudroyer sur place un gars bien plus grand... mais ça on le savait déjà, vu l'état du cerveau de Sliver depuis leur rencontre ! ). Ni sur les vampires (il est où, Alessandro ?). Par contre, on fait la connaissance de Ben. Tout à fait charmant, ce jeune loup solitaire, l'entame du livre qui s'attarde sur ses pensées est d'ailleurs très bien. Puis il croise le regard de Thomas, et hop... les jeux sont fait, revoilà le sacro-saint mythe de l'âme sœur/compagnon/destiné. (Un jour, je vous dirais exactement ce que j'en pense, mais pas ici) Fort heureusement, surgit alors Dillion, qui aime Ben depuis longtemps et le revendique également comme son compagnon. C'est là l'heureuse trouvaille de l'auteur, car la volonté de Dillion et Thomas de faire ce qu'il faut pour le bonheur de Ben, et le délicat équilibre qui prend naissance dans ce trouple (outre la scène de sexe !) constitue finalement l'intérêt central de cette mini histoire, d'à peine une cinquantaine de pages.
Plaisant, mais toujours pas assez consistant. J'attends la suite.
2,8/5

This is the second book in the Moon Pack series and while it suffers from terrible editing issues it was a quick, fun read.
Ben is a lone wolf, far away from his old pack, and searching for a mate. When he goes to Silver's club he meets Thomas. Right away they recognize they are mates and despite some initial misgivings because of Ben's lone wolf status the men mate and claim each other.
Everything is going good for them until Dillon arrives to claim Ben, his mate. Ben was in love with Dillon but when Dillon didn't claim him he gave up that dream. Now he's got two men saying he's their mate, he loves them both and has no idea what to do. Luckily with the help of Silver and Anthony, the pack Alpha and his mate, the guys figure out how to make their relationship work.
The story starts in typical shifter form with the men meeting and mating but then the complication of a third mate comes up. Thomas and Dillon take a bit of time to accept the situation but by the end of the story they've all realized they are indeed tri-mates. There are a couple of humorous scenes and some hot sex scenes in this story. Overall a nice continuation of the series that could be so much more enjoyable if it had been edited right. Still I liked it and will be reading the other stories in the series.

RE-READ NEW VERSION 27/11/11
2.5 stars
Opinion for new version:
After reading the new version, my opinion stands. Ben is a half wolf/half fae who walks into Silver's club finding a mate -- and he catches Thomas's eye. I like the story in the beginning UNTIL another mate of Ben, another wolf named Dillon, come to the picture. I'm not really a big fan of tri-mates :(. Especially because the story "hurts" Dillon, no matter how the tri-mates works in the end. That story alone only deserves 2 stars.
The only reason I can still give it an extra 0.5 stars is actually the "side" story of Anthony (from the 1st book) who makes an appearance as well. It's so cute seeing him dealing with his possessive Alpha mate, especially when he reveals his secret of heritage, that his father is actually more than just fae :p. It gives a more rounded characterization for him, in addition to book 1. And I guess, even if I don't enjoy him much in book 1 (new version), his story in this elevates my liking towards him.

Baiting Ben
By Amber Kell
When the man Ben hopes will choose him at the mating ceremony doesn't show up he takes it as a sign that Dillon doesn't want him. He leaves Alaska in the hopes of finding a new home and a new pack. When he meets Thomas he knows he's found his mate. But what happens when Dillon hunts him down and tells him that they are mates?
I purchased this book assuming that the story of Dillon & Ben would be told first as the beginning and then the story of Ben leaving and finding a new home and a new mate. But in actuality it doesn't happen that way and I was disappointed. I guess I was hoping it would open with angst and get to the happy times after. Instead the story behind why Dillon wasn't there to claim Ben was shared with us (as the reader) in an offhanded way and it was very anticlimactic. I was hoping for a reason more meaningful than was given. Or at least written in such a way it sounded more meaningful.
The book was well-written despite that. I liked all 3 MC's. It was written in all 3 MC's POV.

Ben due compagni, e che compagni. Certo la parte difficile è proprio il condividere ma per amore si riesce a fare cose che non ci si aspettava. Ovviamente adoro Silver e la sua mentalità, non è un bigotto incapace di accettare il diverso anzi. Non solo il suo compagno non è un mannaro ma ha anche accettato la triplice relazione, ha guadagnato due membri per il suo branco.
È un bel libro

I like these books. They are telling an interesting story...but the editing is so terrible. Not instead of now, safety instead of safely, etc....
July 9, 2013
This version is tighter and better than the older version. Yes, it's the same story, but with the new cover, publisher and little changes by Ms. Kell it is very much a 4.5 star!

April 7, 2021J'ai lu ce tome dans la foulée du premier.... Bon, c'est moins pire que le premier, mais on partait vraiment de très bas, c'est donc pas bien dur.
Question développement de l'univers, de l'intrigue, des personnages, de l'histoire, du trouple, on frôle toujours le zéro absolu mais... mais... certains personnages sont malgré tout attachants (Anthony, le barman) et quelques bases posées me donnent envie d'en savoir plus (les Faes, les pouvoirs d'Anthony qui, rajoutés à sa personnalité, risquent d'amener quelques situations cocasses, les vampires, les différentes espèces de garous)...
Je pense que cette série sera mon petit plaisir coupable, celle que j'arrive pas à apprécier vraiment mais dont je ne peux pas m'empêcher de vouloir lire la suite...

I liked this one better than the first.
It was still a quick short read, but didn’t feel as disjointed as the first.
Ben is a lovely character and I liked that he was the one cementing the three together. It was an interesting take on a triad. I enjoyed the difference in that the two alphas weren’t immediately taken with each other. They chose to see if they could make it work as they both wanted Ben

This was a short but very enjoyable read. Ben is new to the pack since he finds his mate, Thomas, there, but soon he realizes that he has another mate. I appreciated how they handled the tri mating situation and I also just loved Anthony. He was a definite powerhouse. Truly delightful story. :D
May 10, 2021
Again, this is a good story that skips opportunities for important exposition and character development. I'm still sticking with this series. There are lots of interesting characters who need more opportunities to have their moment.

There's not a crowd.
Two hot wolves, mated and bonding is sexy. Add in a presumably lost love and the third Jack's up the temperature
Fun characters and sweet sexy times!

I wish the books in this series has been longer because the ideas are great but not developed. In this there are too much plot for just a few pages. It would be very nice this series being revised, expanded and published again because has some good ideas here.

June 5, 2009Baiting Ben is another short story in the Moon Pack series with potential. Amber Kell is playing with the stereotype of the paranormal genre, in particular the shapeshifter subgenre, re-adapting all of them in a gay point of view. This time is the turn of the menages between two strong alpha males who compete for the attention of a cute pretty thing. And since this is a gay romance, the cute pretty thing is an half human half werewolf redhead twink. Ben was part of an Alaskan pack, and he always thought that his mate would have been Dillon; but when his 25 birthday comes and goes without Dillon claiming him, Ben decides to leave the pack and find his mate in the big bad world. The quest is not so long, and the first time he enters the Moon pack nightclub, Thomas smells him and claims him as his mate.
Thomas is big and bad, but he is not an Alpha male; he has not the attitude of one, and it's quite clear that the one in command in their relationship will be Ben, the classic top from the bottom. The first days are perfect but then Dillon arrives pretending that Ben is his true mate... apparently Ben is part of a tri-mate bond, and Dillon and Thomas have to learn to deal with it: Ben can't choose between them, he is the pivot, and even if Thomas and Dillon don't feel attraction one for the other, they can't deny that both of them are handsome men, and it would be not an hard task to share Ben. And when Ben decides to play director for his personal porn movie, Thomas and Dillon play the role of the main characters for their little man.
This shapeshifter series by Amber Kell is not bad. Sometime play according the rule, the romance rule, allows you to write something nice and enjoyable, even if maybe not so original (but sometime when you try to be a forced original, you risk to be ridiculous or annoying); there is only one little thing that I found distracting, something I have found also in the previous book in the same series, there are here and there little typos, something a mistake in the name of the characters... nothing important, and probably with a second editing all of them would have been detected.

Alors que dans le premier tome de sa saga l’auteure nous présentait un couple intense et intéressant, j’ai été déçue par la suite. Le côté plan à 3 ne me gêne pas du tout, mais c’est surtout dans la façon dont le tout à était mis en place et qui donne une impression de gros fouillis. On a beau revoir des personnages que l’on connait déjà, qu’on apprécie, on est perdu et cela plus d’une fois au cours de notre lecture.
Ben est un loup gay qui a dû quitter sa meute suite à son échec lors de la soirée de réclamation. Celui qu’il croyait aimer plus que tout et qui semblait lui retourner ses sentiments, Dillon, n’est jamais venu tenir sa promesse et les gays ne sont pas bien vu chez lui. Il arrive alors sur le territoire de la Meute de la Lune et y rencontre Thomas, le bras droit de Silver. C’est le coup de foudre entre ces deux-là qui comprennent qu’ils sont des compagnons.
Jusque là tout va bien, peut-être un peu trop bien, mais c’est mignon à suivre. Le couple fonctionne parfaitement et est attendrissant au possible. Puis débarque Dillon qui réclame qu’on lui rende son compagnon et là c’est quand ça devient un chaos pas possible. Jalousie, trahison, plan à 3, tout y passe. Mais malheureusement ça ne tient pas vraiment la route, surtout au niveau émotionnel, et ne parlons pas du « méchant » qui ne sert pas à grand chose.
Enfin bref, bien que ce soit une lecture ludique avant tout, je m’attendais à plus. Le trio ne tient donc pas la route bien qu’on n’ait pas à se plaindre des scènes érotiques. Anthony est toujours présent avec son cher Silver et prennent peut-être un peu trop de place dans une histoire aussi courte. Si vous décidez de passer votre chemin, vous ne louperez pas grand chose.

Mais malheureusement ça ne tient pas vraiment la route, surtout au niveau émotionnel, et ne parlons pas du « méchant » qui ne sert pas à grand chose.
Enfin bref, bien que ce soit une lecture ludique avant tout, je m’attendais à plus. Le trio ne tient donc pas la route bien qu’on n’ait pas à se plaindre des scènes érotiques. Anthony est toujours présent avec son cher Silver et prennent peut-être un peu trop de place dans une histoire aussi courte. Si vous décidez de passer votre chemin, vous ne louperez pas grand chose.

Squick alert: the story contains m/m/m.
To be honest, it's done rather tastefully, actually, and I've developed a better tolerance for this type of stories. So I shouldn't have anything to worry about but, well, the story wasn't long enough for the triad's development to be exposed so I still felt somewhat iffy in the end.
I'm also firmly Team Thomas, the first wolf shifter that main character Ben mated with, so when Dillon - Thomas' contender and Ben's other mate - I couldn't help but frown a bit. After a while, I wanted Thomas and Dillon to be together in more solid and apparent way because that would've probably evened things out in a more balanced way but alas Ms. Kell didn't give me this. So, really, I'm sorry, but this second installment is never going to be my favorite.
I do enjoy Anthony and Silver's recurring appearance, though. It's what I read the series for!

Telling telling
Boring so far
Although the head jumping is separated as separate sections, pop switches way too many times per scene.
Cool that they're having fun having sex not just intense passion.
Well that's different. Usually all three are mates. This is more interesting. There's jealousy which is believable.
It's always weird when someone refers to a bed as the largest they've ever seen. I mean a California King is still a popular size and only longer, right? A lot of couples have king sized beds.
Well that was an odd ending. It's refreshing to see alphas/mates so mild mannered and relatively easy going. But the book was just too short. Nothing was fully fleshed out enough. Anthony is such an interesting character, he needs a full novel just for him. As it was, he stole the story.

This is the second book in the Moon Pack series. I liked it but it was extremely short. I felt like I was reading a synopsis of the book rather than the book itself. I enjoyed the characters, especially Ben (and Anthony from the first book).
Ben runs from his home pack because he thinks Dillon doesn't want him. He ends up finding Thomas and they claim each other as mates. Well, Dillon shows up and tries to claim him too. I think the story had a lot going for it but so much was missing. I may read the rest of the series... if I am lacking other reading material or just want an easy quick read.

One of the things I like best about this series is the different types of paranormals and how they just mingle so well together. In this installment, we have Ben who, after not being claimed by the man he thought wanted him, leaves his home and pack in search of his mate elsewhere. Meeting Thomas is everything he wanted but he can't help but think about the one he left behind and when that man shows up looking for Ben...let's just say things get a little violent. Things do eventually work out and that was a nice bit of smut but I wish there had been more between the three mates. I enjoyed it and also liked seeing Anthony and Silver from the first book; I look forward to the next book.

2015 Re-read:
Well, for a triad in a supremely short amount of words this wasn’t too bad. Obviously a lot of development has to fall by the wayside because of that, but the result is better than some of the (really bad) wordier stories of threesomes that I’ve encountered.
Also makes me wonder whether my reading habits have deteriorated that much over the years, seeing how I don’t feel the need to complain much about this book this time around.
But yeah. In the end all three came across as people, not merely bodies, and things happened. Fast and efficient.

Very enjoyable. It follows Attracting Anthony and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. A great way to spend my leisure time.
Hot characters and a unique take on the shape-shift story line. Very entertaining.
You do need to read the series in order, they build on each other with the MC's having their own story (and HEA) but a story throughout the Pack that continues to grow as the backstory through each book.
A-Q are out now, there will definitely be more and I look forward to re-reading these again.

Quello che mi piace di queste novelle è il fatto che mi fanno ridere molto nei momenti più disparati.
Questa volta il triangolo non mi ha infastidita, cosa davvero strana, visto che io i triangoli non lo sopporto assolutamente. Immagino che sia per la spiegazione fornita da Anthony (sto adorando quel ragazzo, sul serio).
Più proseguo nella lettura più penso che Silver sia un ottimo alfa.
Ps.

Well, I didn't hate it. There's no character development, no real bonding, the sex is pretty bland, and I'm feeling no love for any of them. So much potential, so much blah. I liked Anthony and if there were no Anthony in here I'd probably give up the series. With him to tie in the first book, which was an ok read, and save the day here, I was fine with not finishing this astonishingly short read. So little real development and depth that I'm finding it quite difficult to drum up any enthusiasm for continuing the series.
