In the blink of an eye, James’ world turned upside down. Now he must travel into the past to find Jessie, who has disturbed the fabric of time, and put everything back to rights. But he won’t be going alone. With Ella at his side, he will bargain with the Fairy Court, meet the family members they never knew existed, and walk the halls of the infamous academy where the Lycan Mating Games began.

Can they, once and for all, put the USLUF behind them? Or is this only the beginning?

Publisher's Note: This steamy sci-fi action romance contains very graphic scenes. If this is offensive to you, please do not read it.

I have been a fan of the series from the beginning and was so glad that this one came out. I loved seeing James and Ella again. I am happy that their story continued. I can never get enough by this author.

Ella and James are on a mission to correct the timeline. Something has happened to make their past and present off. They go back in time to try to fix it. They head back to the Mating Games. James and Ella are mates and will do anything to fix this new reality. Will they be successful?

Ella (Lycan Mating Games Book 3) by S. Cinders Ella (Lycan Mating Games Book 3) By: S. Cinders
"Ella" & Her Mate Will Go Sooo Far As To Travel Time To RIGHT Wrongs!!
"Ella" By S. Cinders Is A Great Read With An Awesome Balance Between Drama & S€X¥ Times!!
After These TWO escape a Facility that Modified & Trained them,
They find themselves thrust into a World of Sinful Temptations...
A World Where Everything is New...
Including knowing just WHO to Trust!
But it's also NOW too late, As it seems They've Sealed their Fate!!
They're Bonded... And Her inner Wolf Screams He's HER M.A.T.E!
AND Sooo when Wheels are Set in Motion Once Again,
It Leaves our Pair NO Option but Deal with Sooo Much Commotion!
Thus, "Ella" & Her Mate will Try Again,
To END an Evil Plot by Going BACK... In TIME!
Will "Ella" & Her Mate be Enough...
Or will "Ella" & Her Mate come Out at Precisely the Wrong Time!?!
It seems there's an Epic Battle Looming on the Horizon for "Ella" & Her Mate...
Where NOTHING will be Exactly Safe, and "Ella" & Her Mate Encounter Secrets, Lies, & Betrayals before Threads are Pulled Taught for some Dramatic Reveals leading to some Cliffhangers that'll surely to leave your jaw dropping! Yes! We're getting a HFN moment in Time... Before S. Cinders &''Lycan Mating Games' take us ON Another Twisted Turn... Dragons Anyone!!!
S. Cinders has an amazing talent for retelling & twisting Tales. She's given WereWolves, Fairies, & their Personalities a New life, an added sensuality, & an Interesting cause to FIGHT Against, resulting in a tantalizing mix of Eroticism, Mystery, Danger, Drama, Romance, & even Adult Fighting (meaning death)... Dunn, Dunn, Dunn, Dunn!! I daresay there's a plethora of intriguing material that'll keep you reading & rereading "Ella (Lycan Mating Games Book 3)" for years to come. It's definitely a must have, One-Click addition for your library.
I rarely give Coveted 5 STAR ratings; they're saved for Books/Items that Outshine, Outclass, & Outperform their competition... They've gotta give me something MORE! S. Cinders has won that Distinction for many, MANY Times OVER, especially with "Ella (Lycan Mating Games Book 3)," which Deviates from the Usual & goes on a Limb... But it Does Sooo Absolutely Beautifully. This book gives us a lots of DANGER & Drama with our Daily Dose of Cinders-H€@T! Kudos, Ms. Cinders, for your Stellar work!!!!!
I was gifted an ARC of "Ella (Lycan Mating Games Book 3)" by S. Cinders via B00|{$P®0UT; I love Her Style, Talent, Witt, & what she does with these Tales. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; therefore, I'm gladly recommending it based upon its own merits... I'm definitely going to be be looking for MORE of this author's work in the future, Starting IMMEDIATELY with the Sequel to this BOOK! All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time... Happy Reading!

Ella is one action packed, roller coaster of a conclusion to Ella and James' story.

Full of steam, adventure, mystery and peril this book had me gripped from start to finish. Ella needs to be read after James, (Book 2 of the Lycan Mating Games). Both are enhanced by reading the first book, Finn, a book that is very much worth reading in it's own right too.

Whilst the story mainly focuses on James and Ella, we do also get chapters from Clarence and Jesse's point of views too. The book is first person, but very clear labelling of chapters makes it easy to keep track of viewpoints. I also found that it helped me to really get an understanding of the different characters, along with their motivations and feelings.

The story flows smoothly, S Cinders has a very easy to read style of writing that captures your imagination and easily holds your attention. Her characters are very easy to like and, magical abilities notwithstanding, they are also believable in their emotions and reactions.

Whilst this book completed James and Ella's part of the story, there were a few mysteries thrown in towards the end that have already hooked me into wanting to read the next book. This is a series I would recommend to those who love steaming hot paranormal/shifter romances and those who enjoy paranormal adventure stories. The heat levels and language do make this an adult read. o make this an adult read.

I should have looked before I leaped on this one. Not that's it's not an enjoyable read--fae, shapeshifters, time travel...and dragons, you say? No, that I'm down with, it's just that his Book 3 in the author's Lycan Mating Games series, and I'm obviously missing a ton of backstory it's hard to do without.

Here's the thing with jumping into a series: it's like attending a family reunion of a family you don't know. Couples are mainly already coupled, and story is all about ongoing outward (non-romantic, for the most part) problems, and pregnancies. If you're dipping into the book for the erotic, you'll find it, and it is hot, no doubt, but it's sandwiched between all the more important plot points.

Don't let this put you off this book, though. It's a fun, entertaining read. Just maybe start and the beginning and don't try to walk in at the 3rd book in the series.

And hot damn, I'm willing to stick around for the dragon action.

Ella and James are arrested by Clarence who said James was undercover and betrayed Ella. But that’s not right Clarence was their friend, wasn’t he. James was Ella’s mate so what has gone wrong? After breaking Ella out of jail, they figure out that the timeline has been changed.They are determined to make things right. As they step through the time machine they need to be prepared for anything.

This is one hot paranormal book with erotic scenes throughout. It is also about the interesting paranormal characters that are faced with many different challenges as they try to correct what went wrong in the timeline. This makes for an interesting storyline filled with surprises and hardships. The author has penned a very creative and steamy paranormal book. It you like to read erotic romances or paranormal adventure romances then this book would be for you.

This is the third book in the Lycan Mating Games, and it's absolutely brilliant! From the first page I was sucked in and couldn't put it down. There were some twists, nope no spoilers, that really surprised me and the sexy scenes had me like Wow!  What can I say about Ella and James other than they are perfect for each other. If you like twists, sexy characters, and paranormal romance, then this is the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's a definite must read. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this world that S. Cinders has created. Made of five realms, we have so far Ben introduced to the faery realm, the human realm where the Lycans also dwell and we have heard about the ghost realm and the dragon realm. I really enjoyed reading the rest of James and Ella’s story. There are some suspenseful moments and some sad ones. But this book is well worth the read. It is Stand-a-lone up I would recommend reading the first two just so you know who the characters are. I am lookin forward to the next book about the dragons. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Would you turn time upside-down for the one you love?

S.Cinders has brought us the 3rd book in the Lycan Mating Games series "Ella". Just as powerful if not more than the previous two. Why we finally get a more detailed of those characters introduced to us in; both one thru three. The consistency of S.Cinders strong woman , super heightened sexual scene. Of which any of those whom are fans of her work. Will not go away unsatisfied you might want more! Thankfully another book is in the works. So if you have not gotten to read this; nor the two before go get them . For you are surely missing out on alot of Lycan heat.

Holy Hotness! It seems S Cinders just keeps raising the bar with each book. From the first chapter, I'm totally pulled into the world she has created. She has brought her characters to life with such style and personality. I know I sound like a broken record with this, but this is the third book to "The Lycan Games" and once again you MUST KNOW, this is a heart pounding, sexually charged, good vs. evil paranormal romance the likes of which you've not read before. I'm so invested in this series and can't wait for Cane to come out next.

Lycan Games take a time shift!!

Great complexity change in this third of the series. When a “shift” occurs; those who were your friend, may not be in this “version of history”. Our favorite characters still fight the injustices of the USLUF and fight for the safety of their mates. Many different character viewpoints – but it does not get confusing just adds to the narrative.

Unique, exciting, romantic and magical story – and we are treated to a glimpse of the next book!!

Jumping around through time can be very confusing especially for the jumper. Ella and James are doing just that. They could die from it, lose their memory or have so many conflicts with what is the present time. Add in that they are shifters in a world where there is so much paranormal that anything may be possible. I love these two main characters and then you add in Jessie. She is amazing character as well and has a heart of gold. This story has tons of action and adventure. Then you have the whole mate thing and the hotness level explodes.

This story was amazing!
I am awestruck. This is the continuation of James and Ella's story from book 2. I find myself so invested in this mystical story of Lykens and Fae and otherworldly things. My heart was beating so fast in the action. Oh, this story has a lot of steaminess too but the story rose with it. I wanted to sob when people I have come to know were lost but I feel like there may be a magical twist at some point. Maybe I'm just wishing there will be. I can't wait to read more in this wonderful story.

★ Paranormal time-travel rollercoaster ride ★

—>>> Ella and James’ story is interspersed with Jesse and Clarence’s later on, while the first couple try to make heads and tails of what has happened in the past, to complete the mission tasked to them, and then to leave the moments in time they have visited untampered as they continued on their task. Tough choices, alternate realities, balances and checks in reality, steamy moments, and many different characters will keep you on your toes during this read!

Ella
S. Cinders.
Ella and James are mates. Continuing from the last book (James), they go back in time to rescue a friend. They try so hard not to disrupt the current future, but do they succeed? This book could be read as a stand-alone but it is better if you read it after you read the other two in the series. S Cinders delivers a wonderful new book , and keep your eyes open for the next books in the series which feature dragons! I recommend anything this author writes!

James and Ella are subjected to some altered time lines in this wonderful imaginative story. All of the characters involved are incredibly strong, vivid, and memorable. Certain new traits are revealed concerning James and Ella, and while there are victories in their fight against the USLUF, there are also tragedies. Really great read.

Very good episode in this series. James and Ella have escaped from the academy for genetically modified wolves and have discovered they have altered the timeline by going through a time warp. Now they must go back and try to repair the damage and find Jesse who has disappeared. Jesse and Clarence have a large part in the story. The time travel concept is interesting and well done. Now the dragons are coming!! Very good series and I look forward to more.

This book details the events that occurs with Jessie, Clarence, Ella, and James. It is an interesting take of time trave!, Battles, and battles for love. I enjoyed it. It was interesting to see how the Faes mated with the wolves and introduced the next book with dragons entering the saga.

This was an intense time travel, paranormal, fantasy. The focus is on James and Ella, who are loyal to each other, and often in danger. Characters from the previous books are also here. It does have a HEA, yay, sigh of relief. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is Book Three of the Lycan Mating Games! It's titled Ella but Jessie is just as important. These two strong, fierce women change fate!

The love between mates something special and precious! This book has so many twists, turns, and surprises!! I did not expect most of what was thrown at me! This book is more sci-fi/paranormal than the previous books! I really liked it! This has time travel and more of the fairy world! What I really want to do is go back and reread the first two because of things said in this one😉😉😉 It's so good!

I don't want to spoil anything but I do believe eventually we are getting…wait for it…Dragons! Crazy!?!

This is another super-naughty series by S. Cinders! There are loving dominant alphas who love to be Doms with Kick A** heroines that let them! True Love! Fated Mates and all the fun that comes with it! It's a suspenseful, action-packed series that proved the talent of the author again and was a joy to read!


Hopefully, if you are reading this you've read the first two books, so this won't be a shock, but with there being another four books I'm not sure how this whole series is going to be called The Lycan Mating Games? No matter the title I like this story and group of characters, and I want more!
