Their Shared Mate: A Dark Shifter Romance

by Ivy Barrett

Good little mates get bred. Bad little mates get punished.

When they stripped off her clothes, spanked her bare ass red, and shared her for the first time, these brutally sexy shifters were simply teaching Claire what it would mean to belong to them.

But as she screams and begs and comes for these fearsome beasts tonight, her helpless body bucking and writhing with every painfully savage climax, they're not teaching her anything.

They're just making her theirs.

Publisher's  Their Shared Mate is a stand-alone romance which is the third book in the Rydarian Mates series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Claire and her friends have been waiting to be liberated from the wolves. She doesn’t want to be mated to anyone. She just wants to be left along. The loss of her little brother brings her nothing but guilt and heartache. When Raphael brings in the raptors to rescue the women, he is met with resistance but he certainly didn’t expect to find his mate among them. Victor spies her first and knows from site that she is their mate. They just need to convince Claire of that. It was a rough journey. With the wolves wanting to take back the women stolen from them, it was an all-out battle to protect them all. Claire had a lot of guilt to deal with. When she finally explained that to her mates, they knew exactly what to do. But her trust in Raphael and Victor was the big issue. I am not sure about Gabriel at times. I feared for Heather. When you read the story, you will know why. We didn’t find out what truly happened. Hopefully in the next book. I pray it is a happy ending for her. We still don’t know what the plan is with Alex. His wolves are divided. Claire does find her place within the Raptor tribe. She was even able to help with research. Her mates were finally about to corral her guilt and make her feel loved and protected. Will the alliance hold or will it fall apart? We have unanswered questions still.

Really enjoyed ‘Their Shared Mate’. Victor & Raphael know Claire is their mate, she kinda does, too, tries to deny it because trust doesn’t come easy for her. It doesn’t come easy for Raphael either. Victor is all in from the start. He convinces Raphael to give the mate call to Claire a try. He relents … in his own dark, punishing way.

‘Their Shared Mate’ spice is off the Scoville charts HOT—punishment in the form of spankings is definitely a theme with the raptor hybrids 😉 The spicy scenes are very well written *fanning myself*

I’m really curious to know Heather’s story with Gabriel and Patrick. I have a feeling it is even more salacious than Claire, Raphael, and Victor’s 🥵

Clair has hated being stuck on Rydaria as punishment for a scandal the company she worked for, as well as seeing her little brother brutally slained, Clair taken as part of a group of women by one of the wolf shifter tribes and is then freed only to be held for one month with the raptor shifters to be given a chance of being courted she comes under the attentive eyes of Village leader Raphael and his second Victor.
With spankings and hot steamy intense scenes Raphael and Victor help Clair over come her guilt and it sends their relationship to a new level….i loved the twist of a possible new story with Raphael’s brother Gabriel in this but still for me it was a good read..

Not one, but two mates! Wow! Raphael and Victor want to claim Claire as their mate, but Claire wants to know that she has choices. She's been through so much trauma, it's hard letting go, even though she feels the connection growing between them. Loved the storyline and the worldbuilding. The characters are wonderful and well rounded. It's hot and steamy, as well as romantic, but with danger from their every day existence to keep it exciting. What an entertaining read!.

A short and steamy read. Claire and others are sent to Rydaria as punishment for their part in experiments run on humans. She and the other women are kidnapped several times by different groups of the experimented on men. She is traumatized after her brother is killed in front of her and she blames herself. Victor and Raphael know that she belongs to them. Can they convince her?.

This is a wonderfully creative series…
After being rescued from the wolves the women are taken to the Raptor Village. There are quite a few surprising aspects to the village and Claire begins to feel right at home there. Especially after Is Raphael and Victor decide to court her… I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.

Claire is on a hard journey in her life when she is rescued by the Raptors. This is not going to be an easy rescue for them all and HEA's? Easy quick read.
