The Cursed Prince Mate

Royal Wolf Mate #3

by Gertty Rudraw

Kai is the type of man I dislike the most—serious, hot-tempered, and domineering.

From our first meeting, he made trouble for me.
After one wild night, I had to admit he wasn't entirely without merit.
Untill he got dressed and rejected me as his mate.
In a cliché story, I would be sad, I would cry, but in my life, I never follow the rules. I refuse to accept his rejection.

Valeria is the woman I desire above all others.
She is beautiful, smart, and fearless.
From our first meeting, I was utterly captivated by her.
After one wild night, I had to admit I couldn't let her go.
The wolf inside me demanded more, but my mind uttered the coldest words.
In a cliché story, we would meet and fall in love, but in my cursed, tragic life, any woman who loves me will suffer.

On Earth, the humans are still not aware of wolf shifters. Valeria, or Val, is a wolf shifter, her father is the alpha, and she has her mother and three brothers. The thing about Val, her siblings, and mother, they have special powers and are known from legend as Halo’s. When she catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, she breaks it off and leaves the company she works at with him and his family.

Her new job brings many changes to her life! Kai and Eli, brothers, are the heads of their company. Eli is married to a human who is going to have babies. Kai and Val are fated. Kai and Eli have wolves but are so very different. They are not from Earth. They want to go home but have no idea how. When Val and Kai decide to take that step, Val’s mom will play an inherent part in the survival of Kai’s and Eli’s planet and kingdom.

This book is filled with twists, turns, and a gamut of action, heat, and will take you to new places and cultures. I truly enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more in the series that are tailored to these families and planets!

The Cursed Prince Mate is an instalove, OTT, paranormal, fated mate, rejected mate, opposites-attract, grumpy-sunshine, wolf shifter romance. Kai is a hunky, grumpy billionaire wolf shifter. Valeria is a smart, sassy, and fierce shifter who left her cheating ex. She meets Kai, and they spend a hot night together. They are fated mates, but he ends up rejecting her as he is cursed and doesn't want her to suffer. She does not accept the rejection. There was a lot going on in this story, and I found it confusing and hard to follow at times. I did love this couple though and am glad they got a happy ending after a lot of drama. I am glad Valeria wouldn't accept the rejection and fought for them 3.5☆s.

A full story, romance, and world building

This is book three in the Royal Wolf Mate series. I have been reading this series. I liked this story between Valeria and Kai and the inclusion of Alex, Anna, Eli. In this series, the two main male characters are Kai and Eli are from a different world and stuck on Earth. They have been trying to return home to fight for their lands. Kai and Eli learn a few valuable lessons. Valeria is a special wolf shifter with special abilities and powers. Valeria is supposed to meet Kai for a job interview. There is a happy end and some spelling. Read On!

DNF

The formatting on this book is horrible. The font is so small and hard to read. I cannot adjust the font size in my Kindle without losing the integrity of the page and I have to readjust every page. It’s giving me a headache.

Also, I’m sorry, but the writing is just bad. Even if the font size/formatting were not an issue, I still would not be finishing this book. The main male character is an a-hole and that’s without the poor quality of writing.

A unique werewolf tale

I loved this book because the author thought outside the box when writing it. The plot is creative and NOT the typical mate gets rejected, treated like crap and then miraculously forgives all. The Cursed Prince Mate is fresh and inventive.

The characters are interesting and well developed. The reader definitely becomes invested in the brothers plight.

If you are tired of the same old over done rejection themed werewolf stories, I highly recommend this book.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a new author for me. The synopsis of the story sounded intriguing and interesting. The story did not disappoint. The characters were strong and likable and the story developed nicely. The story is a paranormal shifter romance about Kai, Valeria and a curse. These two characters are combustible from their first meeting. After a night of passion she is rejected but she refuses to take rejection. He is domineering, alpha and a grump. This story is different and unique. I loved every bit of reading this one and enjoy reading more from this writer.

[Una V · Rating 2 out of 5]

I tried, oh how I tried to read this book. I wanted to love it because the story line was decent, but it literally is difficult to get past the bizarre use of unnecessary words, "supercharged douchebag maniac" really? So many contradictions, it gave me a headache. I made it about a third of the way through before I had to throw in the towel. If only this book had gotten a second set of eyes on it, who knows, it would have been great for me.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a well written paranormal romance with strong characters in Kai and Valeria. The author does a great job developing their story and painting her scenes perfectly. She takes you into their lives with a hot and steamy night together and a cold rejection right after due to his curse. The story moves fluidly and is a terrific read.

Needs work

The storyline was interesting and different than the normal rejected mate stories, However the book is filled with grammatical errors. It made the story hard to follow in some places. In some places there was duplication which made it really confusing. Definitely needs edited.

[Amy Anderson · Rating 2 out of 5]

lots of gaps and grammatical errors

The book was an interesting concept. However, there were gaps in the timeline that were hard to follow, especially in the beginning. There were also run-on words missing words from sentences and phrases that we’re hard to understand. I think with some good editing the book would be a better read.

[Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is not easy to merge two very different worlds into one story but this does it . Lots of excitement , lots of changes for most of the characters as they develop . It is the second book in the series but easy to read as a stand alone.

This is book two in this series Royal Wolf Mate. This is the story of Kai who is hot-tempered, and domineering and Valeria who is fearless, smart and Kai fated mate. This is their journey to their happily ever after. This can be read as a standalone, but to get more of an understanding of the characters and the background story you may want to read the first book. I am looking forward to reading the next installment.

Good story, but

I like a good paranormal romance, but I can’t stand to read glaring typos or grammatical errors. Also, there were some disconnects … the story had more potential to be really good. Not sure why it looked like the author just threw it together

[Marsha Martindale · Rating 1 out of 5]

too jumpy

Doesn’t follow a timeline. Jumps around too much. Uses the same words repeatedly. Kept losing track of where the main figures were supposed to be. In the house against the wall and in the next sentence outside against a tree.

Book three

I was really upset when I couldn't read book 2 as it was not available to the United kingdom... This book was ok but I kept drifting back to part of book two that I'd read after book one. Still don't understand why I'm was not able to read book two disappointed,

Couldn't finish

Story felt like it was written for a high school writing class. Very jumbled and grammar was off. I just couldn't finish it.

[Deb Lewis · Rating 2 out of 5]

While the stories in this series was fairly good, the typos and grammatical errors progressively got worse with each book. For those reasons, I will not be reading anymore from these authors.

[Brooke Moss · Rating 1 out of 5]

hard to read

Grammar and writing were terrible. I couldn’t finish it. Needs to be edited badly. I thought I could get through it, but it was too hard to read

[Jetscarbie · Rating 1 out of 5]

I’m not sure why this book has so many high ratings. This book was not good at all. The dialogue between characters was painful. The plot was confusing and just weird. Aliens? 🤷‍♀️ and portals

[Shanny · Rating 1 out of 5]

What the hell was this? DNF. The writing is like really bad AI, constantly switching back and forth from the present and past tense, each sentence.

[Michmar · Rating 4 out of 5]

sometimes I wonder

If these books are written by AI. There is something off with the language, but I like the stories anyway.

[Florence McCue · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not great!

Ok, honestly I believe that the writer could benefit from an editor. It was so distracting. The story was ah, ok but nothing special.
