Not to Be Messed With

Mating with Wolves #2

by Marcy Jacks

Morgan Anson is getting used to his new life with his human mate. The man is everything Morgan could have ever wanted, strong, kind, and honorable. As an omega werewolf with mismatched eyes, Morgan is considered a curse to his pack. Despite that, Jake Taylor hasn't thrown him to the curb.

Which doesn't stop Morgan from being really nervous about telling his human mate that he is now pregnant.

Jake at first thinks his sweet and shy lover is pulling a fast one, but is thrilled when he learns the truth, and is soon looking forward to being a father, but now he must do everything in his power to make sure Herrick, Morgan's abusive uncle and the alpha of the pack, does not find out. If he does, he might want to take Morgan back, and Jake will have to show him that even though he's an alpha, Jake's mate is not to be messed with.

‘Not to Be Messed With’ is a great sequel to ‘A Shifters Worst Nightmare’. Actually, I think it was even better than the first volume, and it really got the story line going. With male pregnancy at its best, Morgan’s bast*rd of an uncle up to no good, and some very mysterious goings-on around Jake, this installment had me sitting up and taking notice. And no, I can’t tell you any more details because they’d be spoilers. Morgan and Jake came very much more alive for me as they grew closer and developed into a real couple. Their love for each other becomes really obvious both in and out of the bedroom, and the events around them force them to make some decisions about how to run their lives and that of the men, Sam and Josh, who work on the ranch.

Morgan is still subdued more often than not, and who can blame him with a past of being emotionally abused, locked in his room, and told that he is useless. But he is definitely making progress as he begins to believe that Jake will not hurt him, and the first time he actually stands up for his own opinion? Both Jake and I silently applauded him. I can only try to imagine how nervous he is when he tells Jake he is pregnant, and his hesitancy and fear are well described. Then he begins to stand up to his a** of an uncle and the sh*t hits the fan. I have to admit that I did not expect what happened, but I should have!

Jake is very much in love and determined to do anything to support his shy lover and to help him increase his self-confidence. Hearing Morgan is pregnant is a major shock, but Jake deals with the situation really well and quickly focuses on making sure Morgan has everything he needs. His best friend Alain, beta of the local pack, becomes a valuable source of information about werewolf pregnancies, which Morgan doesn’t know a lot about. If only the horrible uncle would stay out of their affairs, but no, the man demands a tithe since he claims Jake is now part of his pack. Jake is livid, but there isn’t much he can do – until the uncle goes to far and the gloves come of. Boy, does Jake show him!

I you like werewolf stories that include male pregnancy, if you want to know how Morgan and Jake are doing after meeting in the first book, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read with a good deal of tension, a few surprises, and some great man-on-man action, then you will probably like this novella. It makes me look forward to Sam and Alain’s story.

Ahhh, Jake.....I wasn't very surprised by what happened. I was thrilled to have Morgan be pregnant and I liked the slightly different take on mpreg and birthing that the author used. It almost made it seem possible. At least as possible as being a shifter, anyway.

Thrilled that Herrick got what was coming to him. I hope Jake cleans up the rest of that pack and helps them out.

The pup was adorable and I always love an HEA. Plus, looks like Alain and Sam's story is next. *grins*

I do so like seeing the cruel and abusive prick villain of a book get his ass kicked by the good guy hero. Jake totally stepped up his game in this book. Not only does he have to deal with more weirdness as his omega mate Morgan tells him that he is pregnant, but there are bigger things to come for him.

The physical changes a male werewolf goes through to give birth was actually pretty interesting and a new take on M-Preg I don’t think I have run across before. And actually it was one of the less scary ones too.

There was a pretty good pacing throughout the story. It actually happens over a good amount of time and it made sense between the short time jumps. The sex of course was nicely done and descriptive enough without going into porn territory.

I really like Jake and Morgan as a couple. Jake may be human, but he is definitely an alpha. Morgan is still getting used being out from under his uncle’s abusive hands, well mostly. But with Jake’s love and support, Mogan has really started to lose some of his insecurities.

Overall a good story and a very happy ending for Jake and Morgan.

I am really hoping Alain and Sam’s book is next. What I have read so far about them has been intrigued.

I liked this but also didn't like how many things were unexplained and how things just happened with no explanation, how uneven the pace was. Potential, and I might read the next book since it should get another couple together, but I have read better stories from this author.
