I read the first book in this series and had a few reservations about it but I didn’t want one book to prejudice me against the author and the series. I really wanted to like this book. I love the premise of sword-wielding, wolf-shifting warriors who live hundreds of years, searching for the chosen one in order to protect her great power from falling into the wrong hands.Jager’s Mate is pretty much the same story as Roan’s Fall. The wolf shifter senses his mate, pursues her, fights the enemy for her, the heroine comes to terms with what he is, they mate and it’s over. The dialog was predictable and a little hokey at times. I found myself skipping parts of the story because I’ve already read it in the previous book.What I do like about these stories are the characters. I find myself wanting to know more about them and their histories. I enjoy reading about their easy camaraderie, the way they banter and joke around and most of all, how they would lay their lives down for each other.As I stated in the previous review, the author has a great idea for the story. However, by breaking the story up into smaller books it is taking away from the overall integrity of it. If the plot was more detailed and all the smaller stories combined, this would be a great read.Reviewed by Elizabeth for Cocktails and Books Yadkny’s Review Daylen is a responsible cop looking forward to getting some time off from pulling night shift duty when she stumbles upon two men sword fighting in an alley. Jager is one of Roxie’s Protectors; a group of werewolves meant to protect the prophesized foretold one. Jager is in the middle of taking down an enemy when Daylen interrupts. There is an instant attraction but it goes beyond that when Jager realizes that Daylen is his mate. But how do you convince the one you love that you belong together when she keeps trying to arrest you?This was a fun and sexy, but very quick read. The action scene at the end of the story felt a little incomplete and I would have liked a little more development in the relationship between Jager and Daylen, but I was happy to read about the updates on the other characters, so I look forward to seeing more of this couple in future installments. This is book two in the Roxie’s Protector’s series and a spinoff of the Wulf’s Den series, but each book can be read as a stand alone. The author makes it easy to catch-up on the story, but word of warning, once you get to know the other characters, you’ll want to go back and read the rest of the series. I’m a fan now and will be picking up the rest of both series. 4 Tea Cups!
What do You think about Jager's Mate (2010)?
This one is about Jager & Daylen. Good humor, but not much action/danger from Miles.
