Pack Mates #2.5
A Called to Mate Christmas
Quinn’s thrilled Declan’s being so romantic during the Christmas season and he’s determined to do something just as awesome for his mate. But Declan seems to have his own plans. Curl up and enjoy a bit of holiday spirit in Lynn Tyler’s A Called to Mate Christmas, a special addition to her paranormal romance series, Pack Mates.
Quinn has been blessed with a very romantic mate. Twelve days before Christmas, the gifts start pouring in, some sweet, some spicy. But now the book and video game he’d purchased for Declan seem pale in comparison.
All it takes is a visit to an online adult store and a little help from Cullen to arrange for the best gift Quinn can give Declan.

sweet little Christmas story
Quinn is still feeling a bit inadequate due to his inexperience with everything so convinces Cullen to help him get a special present for Declan.
I saw the warning tag about BDSM elements and laughed. The most vanilla BDSM I've ever read.

Declan is so sweet. I really like these wolves. They act like people. They have real jobs and real lives and hang out. The alpha is just the leader not some terrifying emotionally stunted he-man who can't talk about anything important.
What's stupid is that the person he put his trust in was Cullen. He's the one he allowed to restrain him. That's the place the trust began.

Very cute and super hot, this Christmas story is about Quinn and Declan from book one of the 'Pack Mates' series. In a great mix of sexy and loving, the couple work through some of their issues while making sure the trust between them increases even more.
Quinn is desperate to show Declan how much he loves him, but he has no idea what to do. When his friends help him come up with the perfect idea, then help him execute it as well, Quinn may be a little apprehensive, but he is also looking forward to Declan's reaction.
Declan doesn't expect an extra gift, but when he sees what Quinn has come up with, he is somewhere between worried and aroused. Luckily, arousal wins, and the two end up having one heck of a session.
If you like sweet Christmas stories with a high level of naughtiness and kink, then you will probably like this short story.

It's pretty good for what you pay, nothing remarkable or amazing. There's some cuteness but is mostly sexual the plot, and it's plot driven, how it happens or why is nothing but the medium. Quite annoying if you ask me but at least is not too long a story so you can finish it in 10 Minutos or so and enjoy the simple work

This can be read directly after Called to Mate, the first book. It is a cute, brief Christmas interlude that introduces a bit of light bondage. I enjoyed the relationship and the bit of light bondage... but it really didn't have a whole lot of content.

Bondage for Christmas
Poor Cullen if he keeps listening to his Alpha's mate he might end up losing his life, or he balls....lol. Really good short and an awesome Christmas gift.

Ich schwanke ein bisschen. Declan und Quinn sind echt süß zusammen, aber die KG war für die Länge doch etwas sexlastig.

With Christmas fast approaching, Quinn worries that his gifts for his mate, Declan, won’t express his love for him. So he talks One of Declan’s betas into helping him set the perfect gift in motion. Now he just has to convince Declan that he is sincere, and that he truly wants what he is offering him.
Short, Sexy and Steamy… the perfect compliment to this amazing shifter series. Declan and Quinn are definitely hopeless romantics and they cannot get enough of each other, cannot seem to be able to touch each other quite enough. Quinn hopes to give Declan the ultimate gift, to prove to his mate that he trusts him implicitly, now if only Declan will cooperate.
There was so much emotion conveyed in so few pages I was just blown away. But then, Tyler’s shifter stories are also emotionally driven. This is a must read series, I would say you could even start with this short story and make sure you can bond with the characters, then go back and start from the beginning.

This was a short story about Declan and Quinn a year after they first got together. In the first book, Called to Mate I thought Declan mentioned that they can strengthen their bond if Quinn tops him. However, in this book it seems that all that is needed is . Not sure if the author changed the mythology or I misunderstood.
In any case, this is a fun, short read.

Ultimate Trust
This short, erotic tale will mean the most for those who have met Quinn and Declan in "Called to Mate." When I read the start of the story, I was more than dubious of having a bondage scene involving a character with such a history of abuse as Quinn. However, I think the author pulled it off (in, of course, a bit of a paranormal, life-mate kind of way), taking time to bring Declan (and the reader) on board with a steady show of trust.

This is a short story following up with Quinn and Declan during their first Christmas together. Declan showers Quinn with gifts and Quinn wants to find the perfect one that will show Declan how much he truly loves and appreciates him.
I greatly enjoyed reading another part of Quinn and Declan's life together. Quinn has grown more confident and their love for each other is so sweet.

A Called to Mate Christmas
I just loved this short story about Quinn and Declan. I loved how Quinn showed his absolute trust in Declan and how Declan understood what Quinn wanted to do for him. Their love for each other is so beautiful and strong. Erin

This short little gift is so hot, it's scorching. I love how the author writes such passionate scenes and then infuses so much love into it, you can't help but feel close to the characters. Definitely worth reading!

A Christmas read
It was short but enjoyable. I've read her other pack mates books so this Christmas one was right up there. Only about a 45 minute read but still sexy. Thanks Lynn!

A cute christmas read even if a few months behind for me. However I'm not sure adding more bdsm elements was the way to go even if I did find this scene enough touching concern to see me through

What a Christmas gift that was. Holy moly. Love these guys together. It's great to get to see them again. And to see how much Quinn has grown and over come.
