The Soldier's Mate
[Siren Erotic Paranormal Romance, Shape-shifter] When Angel Dugan agrees to befriend a deployed Army soldier who is getting ready to retire, she never expects to fall in love with him. Nick knew from the first picture he saw that she was his mate. But how does he tell her that he is an alpha shapeshifter without a pack or home? Will she accept him in all his forms? By the time they meet, two months into their relationship, each has fallen in love. Touching for the first time enhances the magic they’d shared via e-mails and web chats. But when Nick is called to meet the local pack council, will they deny him the right to settle with his new mate in New Bern? If they demand the soldier to move on, is his mate willing to go with him? ** A Siren Erotic Romance

About the author
Cooper McKenzie
191 books222 followersI always thought I had been born a hundred years too late, but I do appreciate air conditioning, computers and other conveniences of modern day living. I love the slower pace of New Bern, North Carolina as well as the history and small town community. Imagine a neighborhood where people wave at one another and keep eye out for the children. It's like living in the 1950s. In addition to dreaming up my next story, of which there are always two or three in the works, I enjoy reading everything from children’s books to romance to mysteries to vampire adventure, singing in my church choir and needle-weaving.

Yadkny’s Review
Angel is a sweet natured divorcee who doesn't believe that at her age there is someone out there for her. Her friend Carly decides that yes there is and sends Angel's email address to a guy oversees in the army with her husband. Sparks fly across the computer screen upon their first video chat.
Nick is a wolf shifter on the verge of retirement from the army when he meets Angel. He knew from their first communication she was his mate. Now all he wants is to claim her as his and start a new life with her. Only he doesn't know how to break it to her he's a wolf shifter.
From the title alone, I knew this would be a great read. Nick and Angel's meeting is unconventional in the shifter world but very modern of how many couples meet today, so the storyline is quite unique. The only sense Nick has to go by is sight when he first meets Angel, but still he knew instinctively. The scene of Nick's homecoming at the airport is emotionally charged and will touch the hearts of everyone who has ever waited for a loved one to come home. It also should be noted that Cooper McKenzie does a fantastic job of keeping the reader all hot and bothered from beginning to end. This is a prequel to the story The Billionaire’s Mate and I for one can’t wait to see how it turns out for the other character introduced in this story.
Recommended reading for those looking for an emotionally charged homecoming of the soldier kind with a much needed anticipatory release of the sexual kind.

good story I love shifter romance and this was a good one. Wish it had been a little longer though as I would have liked more of the characters. I really would have loved to see the interaction between then as pen pals

A soldier who is also a wolf shifter has come home to claim his mate, whom he met online. She is a healthy young divorcee who is afraid that this man is too good to be true. Romance ensues! I wish the book had been longer since I enjoyed meeting this couple and would have like to have read more of their story.

La historia es entretenida, sin embargo, le encuentro algunas incoherencias, tales como: Cómo un tipo con numerosas quejas por acoso sexual en una compañía le permiten ser supervisor y no ha sido despedido y denunciado???????? Cómo fue que a Nick le faltó velocidad para impedir que el supervisor agarrara a Ángel por el cuello, estando él delante de ella?????

Really not as good as the first book. I hate to say this and every one else please dont hate me but I really don't like reading about characters after they turn at least 35-38.

Loved!! Nick was almost too much Alpha for me.. but I managed to enjoy him regardless :)
Reminded me a lot of my own HEA which is maybe why I loved this story so much
