Before they can be together, they must rid their pack of the evil within...
Sean Ridge, the Alpha’s son, harbors a dangerous secret about his long-time best friend. Ben, the son of their pack’s Beta, also happens to be Sean’s destined mate. However, same-sex matings are forbidden by pack law and those who defy tradition risk death. To survive, Sean and Ben must live a lie. But they’re not the only two who want pack law to change. A group of wolves are planning an uprising to overthrow the evil Alpha.
Will Sean and Ben choose to run and forever look over their shoulders? Or will they take a stand and fight for the right to choose their mates and live in the open?

Three is always better than one!

#3 TO SAVE HIS MATE
bbw, shifters
What will they decide when the two choices are the coward’s way out or certain death?
When Sandra looks into the eyes of a killer, she believes her life is over. The Cure is chasing down wolves, witches, warlocks, and anyone who threatens their control of the world.
Lucas has been watching Sandra for a year. She’s his mate, even though he’s a vampire and she is a wolf. He will do whatever it takes to protect her.
With no choice but to accept Lucas as her mate, Sandra will do everything to fight The Cure that is destroying them. Can a mated vampire and wolf save the day? Or are their days of being mated numbered?
Sam Crescent is passionate about fiction. She loves a good erotic romance and so it only made sense for her to spread her wings and start writing. She began writing in 2009 and finally got that first acceptance in 2011 by Total-E-Bound. She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.
1. For Our Love - mm - 5 stars What would you do to be with your mate? These two men have to make an incredibly difficult decision if they want their happily ever after. My favorite of the three stories because you get the most depth in the story.
2. Three Is Best - mfmm - 4.5 stars Two alpha wolves and an alpha bear sharing one formerly human mate. How is that going to work? I would have liked this one better if it had been a bit longer so we could get to know our heroes a bit more.
3. To Save His Mate - mf - 4 stars A vampire and a werewolf mate and team up to defeat a group of vampires that want to rule the world. Will they succeed? Not my favorite but I definitely didn't dislike it.
I love paranormal romance. And here we have three short stories in one package for all tastes. I'm not a fan of MM genre, so I can't say anything about "For Our Love", but I enjoyed others two. "Three Is Best" is amazing menage story. One lucky girl gets claimed by three alpha shifters, after one night that changes her human life forever. And "To Save His Mate" is about having a little bit of every kind in paranormal world. But our main couple is shifters and vampire. Which supposed not to mix, since they were at war for years. But sometimes even between supposed enemies nothing can stop mating. Not to mention they have a bigger problem to defeat to gain peace. The Cure. Who are ready to sweep off everything and everyone who stands on theirs path to rule the world and have everyone at their mercy.
I didn't read the 1st story. But, story 2 and 3 is quite captivating. Both stories flow really well. The author managed to explain to us the basic principle of being mate and what implication entails with it, without wasting pages and pages of explanation. It's light and quick read but still gives us the necessary romance and smuttiness to keep us going for more. I've read plenty of mates-theme stories, and Sam Crescent is my 2nd most fave author to write this kind of story (sorry, my 1st fave mates-theme story is Alexa Riley). STORY 1 DNF STORY 2 Meet Bethany, a humble-curvy-delicate-and-kind waitress in the local deli, that happens to be every alpha (and one beta-but-alpha-potential) dreams of. Little did she know there is a rouge shifter on the loose. The thing is she is a merely human (what's wrong with being human? Human is sexy af and can be as possessive as shifters are). These 3 handsome-crazy-possessive-and unbelievably-caring-as-hell shifters decided to keep her at arm's length (or in my term: drooling from afar). So when she's accidentally bitten to near death state by a werewolf (she turned into a wolf shifter alright!), this 2 alpha and 1 beta decided that all bets are off. Plus, (not so) surprsingly, Bethany is their mate. Not 1, not 2, but three!! What can I say 3 times is indeed a charm. So it's their job to keep little sweet Bethany safe when the danger lurking. Not to mention, their task to teach Bethany what it takes to be mates; a series of endless sinfully-delicious mating ritual. Mwahahahahahha STORY 3 This is one is sort of like a cocktail. It's a mix of different paranormal being. You can meet a bunch of shifters, a single-hot vampire, an awesome witch, and warlock. But the main event happen between one curvy-and-sweet-as-candy wolf shifter, Sandra, and hot-as-sin vampire, Lucas. Both meet in times of dire, when Sandra's pack being raided and in the brink of extinction. Lucas came and save Sandra. But, what two beings can do when the bond of mates calling. Nothing can stand the pull of mates, not even war!! Lust sparks! Clothes ripped! Panties fly and lost in the rush!
