Twisted Desire
Ethan Lockhart had found his mate, and he wasn’t very happy about it.
He didn’t want a mate -- didn’t need a mate. The Fates had already messed with his life in ways that had changed everything, and none of it for the better.
But they just had to go and throw the woman of his dreams in his face -- when they knew damn well, thanks to their meddling, he couldn’t claim her.
Yeah -- he was tired of playing their games, but somehow he would have the last laugh. All he had to do was avoid her, and her mouth-watering scent.
Camryn Dochart was proud of the life she lived. As the owner of Cam’s diner, she works hard, but never has time to play hard. She longed for a mate. Someone to share her life with.
When her mate strolls into her diner, she thought she’d finally get her happily ever after. Little did she know, her mate had no intention of giving into the Fates.

It had a promising start and the plot semmed interesting: the hero not wanting a mate, why?. I think that only lasted until chapter two, it all went downhill from there. I wanted to like this but I couldn't put up with the immature dialogues and behavior, specially the hero. It was like I was reading Bella's POV fom Twilight. And I didn't like her.

This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. I read this book within half an hour and was satisfied throughout. I really liked Cam. I liked that she wanted Ethan but at the same time, she wasn’t willing to let him continue to hurt her. That being said, she was the one that realised that Ethan needed help and she went about getting it. Although she had been hurt by Ethan’s feelings of regret, she wasn’t willing to let him get hurt or killed and went about saving him.
I liked Ethan and I understood why he pushed Cam away, but I wanted to shout at him to tell her what was going on. Ethan though he tried to resist his mate, he couldn’t help the love he had for her.
I did see some chemistry between Ethan and Cam but as the majority of this book was them separate and him pushing her away, I would have liked a little more. That being said, I liked Ethan and Cam together and was rooting for them to fully get together.
I liked the entire story but the ending was my favourite. I liked that Cam discovered her powers and saved her man. She made Ethan realise that he shouldn’t have pushed her away.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

Wolf shifter Ethan Lockhart had already found his mate but wasn't happy with the knowledge - the fates have messed with his life to the point he can't consider going near her to claim her - he'll just have to ignore her and avoid her at all costs. Wolf shifter Camryn Dochart is proud of her life - the owns Cam's Diner and works hard, but there is no one to play hard with or share her life with. When her mate walks into her diner she thought that finally, she would have the happily ever after that she craves but her mate had other ideas - specifically, he had no intention of claiming her and giving in to the Fates.
This was a really enjoyable story that detailed the complex web that was conspiring to keep Cam and Ethan apart by complicating his life from early on. I loved the way they managed to work through it with the help of others and that the lesson was to share problems not try and handle them on your own. Lots of danger and drama on this story plus proof that love can change all. Easy to read and understand it contains some sexual content.

We get Ethan and Cam in this story.
Ethan knows who his mate is but he doesn't want her not because he isn't in love nope it's his male pride in reality.
Ethan doesn't feel worthy of Cam and Alpha Calder will put him in his place whether he belongs to the pack or not... Cam is his brothers mates best friend and he can't go stirring issues.
Gerri Wilder refuses to remove the mating bond/instinct as does the Alpha so this couple is on their to either Sink or Swim...
I love how the Twisted Tail pack is finally in a better place, the hotness between Ethan and Cam is perfect once they get their issues situated.

Bring down the grey mist
Love how these packs come together to help out we get to see our friends make cameos. Ethan is a kickbutt takeout man for hire but only for the worst of crimes and once he is given a contract on an innocent he knew he had to get out but with a bounty on your head he could not subject his mate or family to it. Can finally meet her mate just for him to walk out on her and feel rejected because of a misunderstanding. He really was doing the right thing but once she realized she went all She-Ra on those hunters who tried to take her mate. Then you bring Erin in. Things get D-y-n-o-mite! Need more please! Twisted tail, Black Paw, I just need it hopefully working together along with Sassy Mates wolves.

Another Twisted Beauty
What Can I say, I am a sucker for these shifter love stories. Everyone of them is different and you cannot help but fall in love and want your own shifter.
But what would you do if your shifter mate didn't want you, I know I would beat him upset the head until he listened. This book has you wanting to do that, but you might cry a little or maybe even laugh. But you will enjoy the ride the author takes you on.
So come enjoy the ride with me and maybe you will find your next shifter love.
Until Next Time... Tabi

Disappointed— spoiler alert
While the premise of this story was good a major editing error left me bothered. At location 292 Ethan give Cam the mating bite and she reciprocates. Later in the story at location 378 it claims Cam again claims Ethan as her mate. At this point suddenly Ethan has a problem with the mating. When did they actually mate? I reread the two chapters three times to make sure I wasn’t confused.

Twisted Desire is a little darker than other books I’ve read by this author. Probably because the hero is an executioner. His job doesn’t exactly allow for a mate and a happily ever after. But the Fates like to mess with you and Ethan more than most. I liked Cam and loved the fact that she was more than strong enough for Ethan. Sometimes love is worth fighting for.

Magic
There's a lot of magic in this book. The Alpha can "see" if a person is good or bad. The mating bond produces some neat abilities between Ethan and Cam. Teleporting, witchcraft and very powerful Council members add a special feel to this story. There's never a dull moment! I'm enjoying this series very much.

I love the Twisted Tail Pack and I love the PDA books
This book was awesome with lots of drama, tons of action, and tons of white hot passion. The story has several past characters from the Twisted Tail books so it made for a fun story.

Really enjoyed the twisted tail pack stories. This one about Ethan and Cam. This one lost a star because for the first 10 chapters Ethan's brother Wyatt from the previous book was repeatedly called Wade. Otherwise it's a great read.
