Mistress of the City

Rate this book
Smut-Shorties: A great on-the-go short to satisfy your craving for smut! *Please be aware that this is an Erotica SHORT*

A new city, a new choosing...

The Midwinter Ball...a time when the lycan packs of the city are required to send an offering to please the Mistress of the City; a male wolf...young, virile and eager to please the Mistress in her bed.

Archer isn't a wolf, but his younger brother, Seth, is. The only unmated male in their pack, he's about to be served up on a silver platter for the Mistress, and only Archer seems to have an issue with Seth's age. He might be an adult in the wolfy world, but to Archer's mind, he's still too young. Trouble is, if Seth doesn't go, someone else does... Which leaves just one person crazy enough to walk into the Mistress's den and pretend to be a wolf.

Reena is bored stupid. She hates the Midwinter Choosing, hates the fact that all the males are paraded in front of her like damn peacocks, and hates the fact that her normal cover story is happily mated, which means she HAS to pick a partner this year.

Then a handsome alpha asks her for a dance, obviously unaware who she is, and all bets are off...

*Please be aware that this is an Erotica SHORT*

**NB: This is the first story in a new city. You do not need to have read the other Smut-Shorties to enjoy this one.**

In Nina Carter's world, one werewolf alpha in each city reigns supreme. At the yearly Midwinter Ball, all lycan packs of the city are required to send an offering to please the alpha. The requirements: young, virile and eager to please.

I've already read the story of how Veyr, the master of another city, met his less than perfect wolf mate at the yearly ball. This time, the alpha is a woman, and - according to Archer - a real bitch. He's not about to offer his 16 year old brother on a silver platter to the old alpha female. Instead, he opts to go in Seth's place. Archer's only problem: while he may have alpha instincts, he's not a wolf...

Reena's got a problem too: She's sick of the entire ceremony. Unfortunately, her friend and sexual alibi is now happily mated. This year, there' no escape. When a handsome alpha asks her for a dance, obviously unaware who she is, and all bets are off. She's picked her yearly tribute...

Just like Master of the City, Mistress of the City is deliciously hot. Mina Carter writes excellent smut, and I can't wait to see how Archer gets out of this encounter alive.

Sizzling Hot!
This book is sizzling hot, but then all of Mina Carter’s books are. This is the twelfth book in the BBW Werewolf Erotica Smut-Shorties Series. It is time for the midwinter ball when all of the packs are required to send an offering of an unmated male so the Mistress of the City can choose to please her for the night. Archer is human, but his mother and brother Seth, are shifters. He finds out that Seth is the chosen offering. Since Seth is only 16 years old, Archer tricks his brother and then scratches himself so he is infected with the gene to turn him into a wolf. Then Archer takes Seth’s place at the Midwinter Ball. The Mistress of the City is bored and hates the Midwinter Ball because all of the men don’t treat her like a real woman but like the Mistress. When she meets Archer and realizes that he has no idea who she is, she takes what she wants and chooses him for the evening. This book is a short erotica story.
A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Give me more archer!

Holy hotness! I was not expecting this little short story at all. I tend to love a good alpha female, and I had a feeling that Mina wouldn't do me wrong on this one. I was right. I also know something mysterious is going on with Archer aside from him just getting some Lycan in him. I love how he just strolled in and took what he wanted. That is how an alpha male should always be.

Wowza! Mistress of the City is smokin' hot! Mina has dazzled us yet again with another sizzling hot read in her Smut-Shorties Series. The story is exciting, smart, well written, captivating, compelling, arousing, sensual and steamy. The characters are raw, fascinating, and sexy. In this story we have a beautiful curvy female wolf, Reena Leroy, who has all the power and controls the city after defeating her own father. She is expected to choose one male wolf from the group of offerings representing the packs at the Midwinter Ball. Each pack must present at least one eligible unmated male wolf and Reena wants no part of any of them. Reena has always been disgusted with this archaic tradition of her ancestors and has no interest in having sex with any of these males - or so she thought! Archer Davis may still be human but he has no intention of allowing his sixteen year old werewolf half brother to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb at the Midwinter Ball. As a human, he was never allowed to participate but Archer will do anything to protect his much younger teenage brother-and I mean anything-including becoming a werewolf. When Archer sees the beautiful petite wolf at the Ball, he is immediately attracted. He has no idea who she is but he wants her and wants her badly. Attraction flares! Sparks fly! Desires ignite! Oh my goodness gracious! We have lift off! I can hardly wait to see what happens next. Mina never fails to tantalize, tease and titillate the imagination of her readers and this story does not disappoint!

Oh yeah got to love the short sweet and sassy reads, thanks to Mina Carter awesome talent to put a storyline, just a bit of detail and smexy hot characters together I get to feed my addiction of short stories. I was gifted the ARC from the author for my honest opinon of the story.

Archer sexy ex-military a human in a wolf clan, not real happy about the "traditions" his mother was trying to push his half brother into mainlty the "offering", with a bit of manuvering (smiles) he went himself.

Reena sexy and sassy and the most powerful wolf and in the city and most call her Mistress. The Offering is something she dreaded and wanted to change but the council didn't agree. So she found her self having to pick a bed mate for the night.

Just a quick fun story, Im all about getting the next book in the novella series. What's in store for Archer and Reena. will it matter that he's human? Grab the next book and find out, I know I am.

I loved mistress of the city it was great
Renee is the monsters of the city it's her job each year to pick a man to sleep with in order to try and get her pregnant she killed her father who enjoyed torturing her in order to become the mistress of the city
Archer is the older brother of the Griffin clans offering unlike his younger brother he is human and he spent like the fact his 16 year old brother is being sent to potentially sleep with the mistress of the city so he breaks up on his brother and takes his place but not before using his brothers nail to puncture his skin will he become a we're wolf will the mistress of the city find him worthy or will she pick another to find out I strongly recommend that you read this book 5 gold stars

This is smucking hot, I'm not even sure if that the right word or if it's right written -apologies if it's not- but come on ! definitely this one goes in my Rough Shelf.
It´s only 5 chapters long, I think , and it's told from the two POV of the principal characters.
Is very similar to Cyan and the master of the city of the first book, only here we didn't have a complete werewolf, and we of course wasn't expecting a fucking hot- suddenly out of no where- alpha male.
If Caleb and Gideon were the master of my fantasies- yeah just that kind of crazy- Archer is definitely goin to be in my top list having a few little chats with them both!!

Yeah...that was seriously hot. It was kinda funny how Archer knocked his little 16 year old brother Seth out. Since Archer isn't wolf and is older than Seth...he made himself one by using his little brothers claw. LOL. Still...that was kinda gross to send a 16 year old boy to be sexed up at the ball. Ew. Good thing he intervened and apparently is smarter than his mother who should be ashamed of herself. Who cares he's an adult "werewolf" wise...still 16 lady! Anyways, I liked Reena a lot and hope to know more about her. She's a very strong female and I can see why she's Mistress of the City. Can't wait to read the next one! Dude...that sex scene was hotter than hot!

Yes! Another Master of the City spin off. Not as intense as Master of the City though.
We have a similar beginning story. The mistress of the city, the Alpha, wolf has to choose a young unmated male lycan to spend the night with him after the annual ball.
Archer is not a lycan, but his sixteen brother is and there is no way he is going to let him go to the ball as a sacrifice lamb.
Archer ends up with the mistress without knowing who she is. At the same time she does not realise he is not a lycan.
Believe me, nobody cares in the end who is what.

'I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review'

I loved it. Mina is such a great writer.I think that she wrote great characters that are perfect for each other. She gave us a great female lead that stands for what she believes is right now matter what everyone else will think or who she has to take on. And gives us a steamy sex scene that leaves you wanting more. I definitely recommend reading.

Is it hot in here or is it just me? Another smoking hot read from Mina Carter! I am loving these shorts! Each is a sweet little puzzle piece but work completely well on there own.
Archer and Reena are both awesome characters. The chemistry between them was electric! I loved how dominating Archer was. Reena is an extremely strong independent woman but even strong women like to let go of control sometimes.
I love the ending of this one! I absolutely cant wait to read more!

This is book 12 and it is hot. Archer is the stepson of an alpha and has come home from serving in the army. Teens is Misress of the city and is looking for a wolf at her level. Read to find out how they meet and see the sparks fly. I recommend this story to all my smut readers. Can't wait for the next story.

One hot romance

I love how he wants to protect his brother from mistress of the city. The fact that Archer wants to give Reena a piece of his mind he gets a scratch from his brother to turn him. Does he get past all the guards to get to the mistress of the city or does he get into trouble?? This is a must read Mina Carter out did herself with this series of short stories.

Just right for a pre-sleep sexy encounter
Loved it.

Rated 4 stars. It ended too soon is my only complaint. It is short, sexy, and satisfying werewolf short story. Will be reading more. Archer is sexy Alpha to Reena's, Mistress of the City, surprise. She goes looking for him and finds him lost in the Crazy of a Newly Turned Wolf.

Series within a shifter series!

Kindle Unlimited book. New characters with a series so it's really like starting a new on. He's human until he nicks his skin with his brother's claw so he can save the 16 year old from being chosen by the mistress. She's a beautiful woman with secrets that he wants. When her secret is told, what will happen?

SEX FEST

Archer only thought was saving his younger brother from a more experienced old crown, take one for the team. Mistress Teens hated these affairs. It takes time to change things. Archer didn't have any idea what this so called Mistress Of The City looked like but he did meet a great lady. Will it last beyond this affair. This is a wonderful and exciting book.

Hunger Games with Heat

The older brother fills in for the younger brother to be the offering for the pack. There is an immediate connection and a hot interaction. Would love to learn more about the main characters and see a relationship develop.

Nina Carter does it again

Normally I hate short books but Nina packs so much into so few pages I feel like I have read a good hefty book. Very nice plot with just enough tension to pull you in with each page.

Everyone needs short and sweet once in a while and this one relievers, although I am hoping to see more of this young love. I jumped in the middle of this series for a challenge so I'm reading them out of order.

Erotic episode

In a defiant act Archer attends the Ball in place of his much younger brother. Reena is intrigued by the one person at the Ball that doesn't know who she is. The sparks between them are to good to pass up.

This is the first story in the Mistress of the City series. A cute short read where the head wolf, in the case a female alpha, has her pick of the pack. In this case, the head wolf is getting more than she expected.
