Whitedell Pride #11
Jared
What you are doesn’t determine who you are.
Jared didn’t expect to find his mate, but he is overjoyed when he does, even if Chogan is a wendigo. When Chogan doesn’t recognize Jared as his mate, Jared is hurt and he pushes Chogan away without telling him about the bond between them, thinking it’ll all end there. He hasn’t taken in consideration one of their friends spilling the beans, though.
Chogan is a wendigo and wendigos don’t have mates, and most of all, they don’t have love, so he’s both surprised and elated when he finds out Jared is his. Now that he has a chance at a happily ever after, he’s not going to let Jared go, even if he has no idea where to start.
The two of them work to get over their awkwardness and doubts, but just as they manage to get closer, Chogan’s recent past comes back to get him. He knows the pride will protect him, but can he risk his mate’s life to save his own?

This was book 11 in the
"Whitedell Pride"
series. Jared is the pride doctor he is also a bobcat shifter. When Keenan was kidnapped by the wendigos "a shifter that eats humans" he was helped by Chogan a wendigo who doesn't eat people. When he decides to leave his tribe with his mother he goes to the pride for help when he is attacked by his former tribe mates. Turns out Chogan is Jared's mate and he was hurt when Chogan didn't realize it because wendigos don't have mates. This book was my least favorite. I liked Jared in the other books. He came off too shy and unsure of himself and he is a doctor. Chogan is a virgin his tribe didn't believe in male on male sex. I did like Keenan and how be was there for his friends by helping both of these guys. When his old tribe comes for him Chogan realized that he has a family and they had his back. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Not my favorite couple in the series. Jared was way nicer in all the previous books.
(PS, I keep wanting to add the books in this series to my mpreg shelf, because it has that same feel, but so far no one is pregnant.)

Summary:
There have been many different paranormal species in this series, but the Wendigoes were definitely the creepiest thing so for in this series. The way they kidnapped humans to eat them was beyond scary. That made Chogan's refusal to follow along with the rest of the group even more incredible. His refusal to hurt, trap, or eat humans made him hated by everyone except his mother. Chogan's refusal to go along with the group to the point of rescuing Keenan, a member of the Whitedell Pack, changed everything opening a new world for him. Wendigoes don't understand love for relationships, so when Chogan found out that Jared, the pack doctor, was his mate he was shocked. Jared's life was all work until Chogan arrived giving him the chance for love he never thought he would have. Between the threat from the Glass Research Company and possibly Chogan's people things could explode giving Jared and Chogan little time to explore the growing feelings between them as they struggle to survive. This story took off from the beginning and never let up to the end making me wonder what is in store next for the Whitedell Pack.

I enjoyed this, and I was so glad to see Chogan's story and also get more of the wendigos, but I felt like the whole scene with Jared and Chogan first mating, was just…awkward and odd. I continue to really enjoy this series, and I look forward to more!

Keenan has been out of line in EVERY SINGLE book and I have loathed him in every single one and he has made me hate every book he is in. But in this book it takes the absolute cake. Minus infinity stars if possible. Just stop writing annoying characters that you think are “cute” and “helpful” when they are just destroying your hard work with a low rating. KMN

Chogan es tierno

When I reviewed Soren’s book a couple of months ago I said that he was the last of the original Whitedell shifters who was waiting for their story. How on earth did I forget about Jared?
Jared has been with the Whitedell pride, acting as the shifters’ doctor for about ten years. While all of his friends and fellow shifters began finding their mates, Jared kept himself busy saving the lives of the victims rescued from the scientists’ labs and also working to set up the newly built shifter hospital. It has been a week since his friend Keenan was first kidnapped then rescued, a week since he learnt about the wendigos living in the forest which makes up part of the Whitedell territory. But knowing of their existence and witnessing a violent battle between them, right outside the pride’s gates, are very different things. The last thing he expects when he hurries to aid the wendigo who saved Keenan’s life is to discover his fated mate. Unfortunately for Jared, Wendigos don’t have mates.
Chogan isn’t like other Wendigos. He’s never fit in with the rest of his people, and ever since he aided in Keenan’s escape he knows he’s been living on borrowed time. Thankfully his mother agrees to leave with him and they flee to the pride, hoping to find sanctuary with the shifters there. But he’s followed by the leader’s vicious son, and even after surviving that first fight, Chogan knows the wendigos won’t give up that easily.
I really enjoyed this addition to the series. I’ve read one other book (which was m/f) that had wendigos in it but there were definitely no redeeming qualities to any of them. I love when shifter stories take animals or creatures that are generally only seen as evil and make them into a lovable main character. Chogan was still a big, ugly, scary monster (although, thank god he didn’t smell like the others) but he was a good person beneath that furry grey skin. And I should probably add that Chogan does have a human form, in case you were wondering. There’s no freaky kinky beastly lovin’ happening here. Their sex life doesn’t need any kink to increase the hotness factor. Having read everything that this author has published to date, I feel qualified to say the sex scenes between the characters in her stories continue to get hotter with each new book.
The Shifter Council make a brief appearance in the book and you get the feeling that the story arc with the Glass Research Company may be coming to an end (considering Glass is now sitting in their shifter prison). Hopefully we’ll soon be seeing more of the council, which for the most part has been patiently waiting in the background for its chance to shine.
And speaking of shining… Any fan of this series who is concerned that Keenan might get less page time now that he’s had his story told, nah uh. Keenan is still being his usual superstar self, lecturing recalcitrant shifters on the joys of mating and working his darnedest to get them together.
I’m pretty sure the next book in the series is Troy, which rather ambitiously gives us a harpy, a Krsnik (kind of a shifter cross with a vampire) and introduces mpreg into the mix. On top of that we have Glass’s son on his way to Whitedell to witness the trial of his father, and I can’t help but hope that he finds himself mated to a shifter. Or a nix.
And in case you missed it the first ten times that I said it – this series definitely has to be read in order.

I didn't think we were going to get more stories from Whitedell, to be honest. I thought we had paired everyone up. However, there is a character I forgot... the doctor, Jared. Yep, another J name. He is paired with the hero of Keenan's story, the Windigo Chogun.

Jared, # 11 of Catherine Lievens' Whitedell Pride/ Gillham Pack world is a lovely little meal. A bit more developed in the character area and of course the fact that we are well into the series helps the world development issue.

Okay book, not as good as the others, but still enjoyable.

Jared is delighted when he discovers that Chogan is his mate. It does not matter that he is a wendigo. But Chogan does not realize that Jared is his mate. Wendigos do not have mates nor do they seek love. Jared is unaware of this and thinks his mate does not want him. He decides to not confront Chogan and let everything go away. Too bad his friends do not agree and they tell Chogan about how mates work. Chogan is delighted to have a chance at happily ever after and he decides to go after his man. As the two try work things out, Chogan’s past returns. He wants Jared and knows the pride will keep them safe, but can he risk his new mate?
We met Chogan is a prior book and he was quite different from the average wendigo. He is intriguing and needed a story of his own. Jared knew Chogan was his mate but Chogan felt the pull but not the mate call. Jared, therefore, felt rejected. Your heart will break with him. But his friends come to the rescue and spill the beans to Chogan. Chogan is delighted and the two get together, mending Jared’s heart and ours. Protectiveness come with the mating, but neither wants the other in harm’s way, but soon learn facing things together is the way to go. Jared and Chogan will touch your heart and pull at your emotions. This is one you do not want to miss.
