Jaguar's Mate (Crescent Moon #8)
by Katie Reus
Blurb:
Sapphire
is cursed. Every relationship she’s ever been in has ended poorly. So she’s
sworn off relationships and is happy with her life. Until Eli comes along—a
one-night stand that turned into two nights. When things got too intense, she
did what she always did. She ran.
He’s
not letting her get away…
This
time Eli isn’t letting Sapphire go without a fight. When her friend needs help
escaping an abusive situation, he steps up, no questions asked. It doesn’t
matter that Sapphire won’t tell him why she’s holding back from him. He’s a
jaguar shifter and cats are very patient—he’ll wait for his mate to come
around. But before he can claim her once and for all, they’ll have to deal with
an angry bunch of shifters who are out for blood.

Shifters

Review:
Ok,
I accidentally requested this novel, just because I saw one of my favorite
author’s names on the tagline, without really looking into the rest of the info
about the book, and though I don’t usually like to jump into a series this late
in the game, I read it anyway. I have
not read any of the others stories in this series, written under Katie’s pseudonym
Savannah Stuart, but book 8 was good all on its own anyway. After all I have
never read anything by Katie Reus that I didn’t enjoy so why would her writing
with a different name on the front be any different? Sapphire has had some
seriously bad luck with men in the past and decided a long time ago that short
affair and flings were all she would ever get out of life, so despite her
attraction to Eli, she refuses to let him into her heart any more than he
already has. When her best friend calls
her, beginning for help escaping a dangerous situation, she suddenly finds
herself forced to deal with Eli has her partner on the mission, and resisting
him becomes increasingly impossible. Eli knows that Sapphire is his destined
mate, if he can just get the stubborn wolf to stop evading him long enough to
show her the truth of it, thankfully no one can be sneakier than a cat on a
mission. Together they work to defeat their enemies and Eli works to show his
wolf that she owns his heart and he is willing to do whatever is needed to
prove to her that he is worthy of her love. Eli was a sexy cat for sure (sorry
couldn’t resist the pun) and I loved seeing him in action as he fought to
protect Sapphire and her friends and to earn her love. I enjoyed the brief chance to get to know him
and would have loved seeing more of him. Sapphire was a sweet woman with a
inner core of strength to be sure, but she has some seriously silly ideas of
why she had to keep her heart protected from Eli. Once she opened herself up
and let him have a chance I liked her even more and was rooting for them to
have a true chance to be mates for life. I am definitely interested in going
back and reading the rest of this series and will add it to my already massive
TBR, but I have a feeling that fans of the series will enjoy seeing characters
they have watched fall in love in the past and getting glimpses of their lives.
I will also read anything that comes in this series in the future too. Just more Katie magic to go on my ever
expanding Reus bookshelf.
