Second in the Mates of the Lycaon series. Sequel to Keeping Kaitlyn.

Paige is a dedicated ballet dancer who neither wants nor needs any romantic entanglements. She put her sex drive in the deep freeze long ago to focus on her career. Yet the universe has a way of turning well-laid plans to dust. When Paige is pulled through a veil between worlds she finds herself in the arms of two male dire wolf shifters who thaw Paige's libido merely with a look.

Kaiden has spent more time as a wolf than as a man and his brand of loving shows it. Yet Paige brings out a tenderness in him he never thought he possessed.

Jarek is a leader and, unlike Kaiden, is a man completely in control. But his desire for Paige shakes the foundations of his formidable power and brings this man to his knees.

Kaiden and Jarek profess to be Paige’s perfect mates and she can't deny an instant attraction to them that isn’t just skin deep. But the war between the Lycaon and the Mages is heating up and it will test every fiber of their bond.

About the author

Anya Bast

67 books1,451 followers
Anya Bast is the author of numerous works of romantic fiction, mostly all paranormal and mostly all scorching hot. She lives in the country with her husband, daughter, eight cats, a dog, and an odd assortment of rescued animals.

She grew up in Minnesota and still favors the colder climates. After high school she moved to the southeast United States where she attended college. While in graduate school she sold her first book and decide to pursue her lifelong dream of writing instead of a career in psychology.

Somewhat reclusive by nature, she can be drawn out with a good bottle of red wine, classic movies, or good music. When she’s not writing, she can be found trying to grow organic vegetables, shopping in thrift stores for that perfect piece of clothing, or dreaming about travel to some faraway country.

She’s hard at work on a brand new series for Berkley Sensation right now, while winding up her national bestselling Elemental Witches quartet.

This being the second in this series I found to be a little more evolved than the first. The story arc is coming together a little better and the third book's characters have been introduced and are well ensconced in their own trouble. I did enjoy this and the staggering amount of orgasms poor Paige has to suffer through - a fun and interesting read.

Awesome book

Paige is Kaitlyn's sister and she too has been taken to the other world where her sister is. Kaiden and Jarek pull her through the veil to their world but it will be tough to convince her to stay since she doesn't want to leave her last sister alone on earth. Such an awesome book. This is a shifter book!

I so liked the first one, so I had to get this one. Yay rawr! I just feel in love with the story line. A alternate reality and the mating bond. I loved the way the characters from the last book were also in this one. Paige is all kinda happy to see her sister that disappeared, then when told why and that she was part of a different world where people shifted to animals. You can see she wasnt so ready to believe that, on top of the possibility of being mated not to one but two men. Kaiden and Jarek knows only that theyve waited for their mate for years to come to them, they know also that they will need to be patient and show her what it will be like to be mated and be part of their world. Paiges mates shows her love and passion that she has never experienced more than that they've shown her how much they care for her. What theyve put in place as they've waited for her. Both Kaiden and Jarek love her but are very different in the way the make love to her. Some of the scenes are twitch worthy :) As the old war that they've fought comes very close to home. Paige may not get the chance to fall in love with her mates. Enjoy

Kaitlyn is brought thru the Veil & joins her sisters in the world of the Lycaons, to be with her mate. How she does this is different from her sister's. She finds love & passion with Torrent. The war is more advanced, the Lycaons are having a harder time keeping their towns hidden. There will be sacrifices. But can they make them? The twist at the end was unexpected. Loved it!! :-) <3 <3

Enjoy!! I did. Almost wish the Series was continuing. :-(

I was a little let down at first. the woman's introduction to her mates felt rushed. and a little too much obvious recap of the way mates work. that being said.... my doubts of the book quickly faded. I loved it so much!! and cannot wait for the third!!!

Book 2 was a little odd, but I still can't wait for Book 3. I wonder what the title will be... Catching Carolyn... Choosing Carolyn... Chasing Carolyn... Convincing Carolyn...
