As vampire master of the city of Belle Terra, Caleb Night has seen just about everything. When a gorgeous saber-tooth tigress female finds him in his private club, he knows he’s staring into the golden eyes of his truemate. He never expected his truemate to be a shifter, but nothing makes him hotter than when she purrs.
When a master vampire and a saber-tooth tigress get together, expect lots of neck biting and purring.

Another great Saber story!
When I read the blurb I wasn't sure, if I would like it because of the 'other woman's scent' comment. But now I'm glad I gave it a shot.
As I already mentioned in review for the second book, this story is better when read all the previous books in this series. The scene with this 'other woman' is very brief and it didn't bother me at all. It was actually quite funny, since Lia goes into full jealousy mode and almost strangles the poor human blood donor. And as for Caleb, he's a real charmer and says the perfect words at the perfect time. They are a great fit.
Overall is this a funny, sexy and short safe read. :)

Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off saber-tooth tigress and Lia Carmichael is one furious cat when she catches the scent of her mate on another woman in this sizzling paranormal romance.
Master vampire Caleb Night never expected his truemate to be a shifter but nothing makes him hotter than when she purrs and the reader can’t help but get caught up in all the purring and neck biting that happens when these two find each other. The chemistry is wow and the sex scenes are hotter but there is a bit of friction as somehow Lia got a jump on Galen and it was his turn.
Once again, the Saber Chronicles brings us a fast paced, sizzling romance with captivating characters and while I wish it was longer because I sure do like these cats, this is a very delightful quick read and I can’t wait to find out who Galen’s mate is.

I'm Loving the Saber Chronicles. Lia is the Last female Sabertooth left and of her three older brothers two have found their True Mates. She has to wait for Galen to start having his Mating dreams. The dreams will intensity the closer they get to their True mate but all Galen dreams is purple and gold shimers! Lia, her btothers and their mates are all going out to The Heat it's a nightclub owned by Aubrey's brother Caleb who is a Vampire (not by choice). He is however the Alpha so to speak of his Kiss and he runs fair but tight Kiss. Even though he felt a little off only lightly feeding from one he decided he no longer wanted to feed from his regular supply of donors. As he had them escorted out he knew immediately why he felt like that his mate had arrived!
Lia herself was felling uneasy, she visioned blood dripping down someone's throat and suddenly tasted warm metallic in her mouth as they walked inside the Heat. The front door security saw Aubrey and told her that Caleb was upstairs waiting for them. As the 'donors' walked past Lia she lost it, grabbed the woman who has Her Mate's scent on her! As her brother's tried to calm her, Lia's. SORRY, YOU HAVE TO READ THE REST FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!

Short and sexy
Lia is the last female saber tooth tiger. Her two older brothers have found their truemates but she must wait for her other brother to find his. Sabers find their truemates from the oldest sibling to the youngest and they first dream about them. But while going to a night club with her family, she gets a whiff of a fantastic smell. She turns into her cat and finds the enticing scent.
Caleb is the Master vampire of Belle Terra and has been feeding from a donor. His sister is newly mated to a saber tooth tiger. When all of the sudden a very large cat has jumped on him. Turns out to be Lia and she's his truemate.
Very short story. A vampire and cat shifter. Sex. Instant attraction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Caleb’s Tempting Mate is a captivating mix of supernatural elements with a sizzling romance. The story introduces Caleb Night, a master vampire, who meets his truemate, Lia Carmichael, a saber-tooth tigress, in an unexpected and somewhat volatile way. The tension between them is palpable, especially when Lia initially discovers her mate in a rather complicated situation. The power dynamic between a vampire and a shifter adds a layer of intrigue, and the chemistry between Caleb and Lia is undeniably strong. The mix of danger, lust, and the primal nature of both characters makes this a thrilling read, with plenty of neck biting and purring to keep things spicy.

Loved the story
I loved the story just wish it was longer. I like the fact that they listened to each other and decided what would happen in the future. The fact that Caleb wanted to talk while Lia was trying to mate was so funny. I don't blame him for wanting to make sure they were on the same page but it was still funny. I picture it the other way around in most relationships. I like this family and wish to be a part of it.

WOW!! So Good!!
Well written story and well developed characters! Caleb is the master vampire. He hopes he won't be alone forever. He is holding out for his true mate! But does that work for a vampire?

Caleb's tempting mate
Caleb was another supernatural person who didn't have a met cute but a very interesting story to tell the future generations on how he or should I say Lia met him. Very nice story. I'm glad that Aubrey brother found his mate.

Caleb gets bowled over by Lia when she scents his feeding partner on him. No other female is allowed near her mate.

Saber Tooth Tigers and Vampires What Could Be Sexier
Lia wanted to have a girls night out. Of course her new friends had to bring their true mates after all their mares were her brothers. Lia wasn't looking for her true mate at the club. Her brother Galen was older than her so he had to find his mate first. At least that's what everyone believed. Saber Tooth Tigers have mate dreams that lead them to their true mates. Galen just started his dreams a few days ago. Lia thought she would have to wait months if not years for her turn. Caleb is the Master vampire of Belle Terra. He is the brother of Aubrey Lia's new sister in law and friend. He was often wondered about his true mate. He's growing restless thinking he might not find her. Immediately after Lia enters the vampire club she smells her mate on another female. She instantly turns into her tiger. Who could he be? Where is he in the club? Lia takes off through the club to find him.
R E Butler is an amazing story teller. Her Saber Chronicles is a new and refreshing twist in the paranormal world of romance. Galen's story is next. I can just imagine what he is in for with pink and purple dreams.

I love vampire books anyway, so this was extra special to have a sabertooth female, becoming a perfect match for the vampire Master of the city. Caleb‘s Sister had just found her mate in a sabertooth tiger shifter. Although she is human. Caleb was turned vampire seven years ago, and is now master of the city. Sitting high up in his club, he found it fascinating to be approached by a female saber tooth, but he knew instantly what it meant. They are perfect for each other and they have figured out a way that they can still have a family, and Lia agreed to be turned so they could live eternity together. I cannot wait for the fourth book, Galen is the third in the line of four Sabertooth children, in this book it is the sister Lia. Galen the last of the siblings is not happy that his sister, the youngest found her perfect mate first. There is a little hint at the end of this book as to who it is. I wish this series was longer, so we could see what the future held for these perfect couples.

I was ggiven an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review.
I love R.E Butler's way of writing....
I love all her series....and i hav to say i love this one as well...
Lia has been waiting for a long time to find her mate and still its not her time...her brother has to find his first before her time comes.
Caleb is the Master of the city and though he wishes to find his true mate he is not sure at all that he will.
When Lia and her brothers visit the club Heat in order to meet her brothers new mate brother who is also the Master of the City Lia is overwhelmed with the scent of her mate.
When Caleb is literally pounced by a saber tooth he knows he has finally found his mate...or more precise his mate has just found him.
Quick short story with funny dialogues ,hot sex and little action
A nice enjoyable read that i have to say was too quick...i need more of these stories....
yet when reaching the last page you are left complete and craving more.

Now wait a minute! By tradition with sabers the mate matching is supposed to go from oldest down to the youngest in order. Galen wants to know how come his little sister is shifting and heading up a stair case for her mate? Calib doesn't question it. Not that he ever thought his chosen one would be a saber tooth, they were supposed to be extinct, weren't they? I love the way these couples accept their fated mates and get right to their relationship—and heat up the pages fast and furious. Another sweet—wait a minute—can a relationship with a vampire be sweet? You'll have to read to see what you think. I loved it. What a strong woman baby sister turns out to be.
This series has be captured. I recommend to read it as well. A great read. On to book 4 and sadly the last.

A very fun read with likeable characters and a great short story but really much better if this series is read in order to get the most entertainment from them.
This is the sister Lia’s story. We also met Caleb briefly in book one.
Lia is the only female Saber Tooth shifter left and thought that as the youngest, she would be the last to find her mate.
Except her mate turns out to be Caleb, who is Aubrey’s brother and he is a Master Vampire.
On a night out to Caleb’s club, Lia smells something divine but it is on another woman which causes her tiger to come out. Once she hunts Caleb down, it is insta lust/love.
I have read and reviewed these books before but my reviews are missing. Easy to reread at any time.

I was so excited to read about Caleb and Lia. I so wanted to know more about Aubrey's brother Caleb...Vampire Master of the city and last female saber tooth tiger. We got a little teaser in Slade's Feisty Mate. I really loved it. It was hot and sexy and sweet. Caleb's a great guy, powerful and hasn't let it go to his head. He's smart also and treats Lia oh so well. We also got insight to his Kiss and what it means to be his mate. She is Mistress of the city now. Of course these are short stories and always wish they were longer. I feel really bad for Galen and I know we'll get his story in November. I really wanted to pre-order but its not up yet. Bummer! Great read!

There's alot packed into a short read, If you haven't read the others you are missing out on a good series. But as each book covers a different sibling they could be read as stand alone novels.
Book 3 in the sabre series, In the space of a few days two of the Carmicheal brothers have found their True Mates. By rights the next in line is Galen, however things take a surprising twist when thier younger sister Lia gets the scent of her Mate on another woman as they enter the night club. Nothing can stop her Sabre from bursting through the night club and bounding towards her future mate...Caleb.
