Absolutely loved Remi's prequel story....
July 11, 2017
"Searching for the Perfect Mate: Remi's Story, is a short intro into the 'Running in Fear' series. I have already read books one and two, and reading this one gives me more insight into Remi's introduction and place in the series. I now have a bit more insight into Remi's role in the other books that continue the series. I gave book 1 "Escaped" 3 stars, and book 2 "Abandoned" 4 stars. I find the story gets better as the series continues. If this is your genre and you love hot sex, and shifter stories, then this is a series that you will want to pick up. I would like to thank NetGalley and Riverdale Ave. Books for gifting me "Searching for the Perfect Mate: Remi's Story". My opinion is my own. This is mine 3.25 Stars!

Title: Searching For The Perfect Mate - Running in Fear Book 1.5 - Remi's Story
Author: Trinity Blacio
Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books
Published: January 18, 2017
This book is intended for Mature audiences only. Not suitable for those under the age of 18.
Remi is close to Dane's when he sees his brother Pierre. Pierre along with Dane and his brother Marc have claimed Jaycee. Remi knows Pierre is not her mate, because he is suppose to be her third mate, But does not stand in the way. Jaycee and the others have accepted Pierre. Then an enemy comes and Pierre is killed. Now will Remi step up to claim his rightful place or will he blame the others for his brother's death and seek revenge?
This is a short story more than a novella. It was a bit rushed because of that I only gave it four stars. I still enjoyed it. If Ms. Blacio ever elongates the story and gives it more depth I will be first in line to get it. You really need to read the series from the beginning to understand what is going on here completely. It could be done with out the first book, but not recommended.
I gave "Searching For The Perfect Mate - Running in Fear Book 1.5 - Remi's Story" is 4 out of 5 stars.

The story is interesting but a little confusing at the end. Being a prequel to book one I’m hoping that things will make more sense in the next book. We learn a little about the shifters and finding mates. They definitely have a high sex drive and have no problem taking care of it. Scenes do get pretty hot.

So confusing
The story and various people was so gard to follow i couldnt tell who was who aside from Remi. I am intrigued for the first book but i wish the editing of this preview were a but tighter

Finding and protecting his shared mate
Remi longs for his perfect mate, the other part of his soul and future mother of his cubs. He has no idea that his mate will be shared with two others. Readers should enjoy this book which I heartily recommend.

Great read
This book started off with action and lust. It caught my attention immediately and kept me interested in reading more. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This story was short, intense and very HOT! Sad as well.
It is the start of Remi's story and pack. I already picked up the next one to read.

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley and the author for my honest review. This was super short, but a good introduction to the series. It has whetted my appetite for what is to come next.

A fantastic series and author. I’ve read this series twice so far. The characters seem to call to you. They want to tell their stories.

If this is a preview for the rest of the series, then hello ‘not interested pile’.
I’ll try the next one but not holding out hope

I received a free copy from NetGalley; this is my honest review.
This is just an intro to the series but for such a short story it's packed with action.
And yes, for those who know the author, there is a menage sex scene in there.
Looking forward to the next book.

I received a copy from publisher and Netgalley for an honest review.
It's a prequel and it's 26 pages. The story is short but packed with menage sex, drama, and death. It's a set up for the shifter book Escaped in the Running in Fear series. It's enough of a tease to get me try the next book. Jaycee's future struggles with 3 alpha wolves should be an interesting read.

Searching for the Perfect Mate: Remi’s Story: Prequel to Running in Fear Kindle Edition
by Trinity Blacio
A far better offering than Valentine's Cyborg, which I also reviewed on several sites. A sexy story of one alpha's search for his mate, and the hard choices and losses he must take to find her. Unfortunately, I've not read Running in Fear, so I'm a bit lost and put out that it had a cliffhanger. When referring it to “Remi's Story” I thought I would get the whole story, not just a short few scenes.
Of course, some of the scenes did send me running for a cold shower. The sex scenes were steamy hot. The MFM dynamic, particulaly the MM portion, their ready acceptance of each others touch and feel was well handled. The woman involved, her character was not complete in anyway, and she was kind of a place holder, sor of a living blow up doll that the author utilized for Remi to work out some issues.
The fight scenes were exciting and action packed.
The description of the character was a little lacking, it was at times to get a full vision of who looked like what when you've not read the 'sequel'. Prequels are tricky – just ask George Lucas. It would have been nice to know what Pierre and the others looked like.
Also more of an idea of what the club looked like. And Taming Shrew? In fact, a full reading of that play shows that Kate tames Petruchio as much as she tames him, so as a Domme myself, it isn't truly a Dom's kind of story.
All in all not bad, could use from fleshing out and padding. If it were turned into its own full novel instead of a sort of long short story, it would be excellent.
3 stars out of 5

This short prequel jumps around a bit too much. It is difficult to follow and even more difficult to connect with any of the characters.

A very brief, short story that introduces Remi, as well as a few of his pack members, and his search for the perfect mate. It's short, sexy, and has a bit of suspense that will all tie into scenes in the next book. It's not necessary to read this prior to the next one, but it will give you a better understanding of what's going on if you do. This preview of Remi, before he's introduced in the future books, also gives you a little insight into his character, which I thought was great.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and author.

This is a prequel to Running in Fear series. We meet Remi in this story. It’s a short book where we learn that Remi really wants to meet his mate. It gives details on how he learns who she is but she’s not in this book. Just a feeling he has and then follows it. I received a copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
