For decades, the Wolf and Cat Shifter Clans of Washington State have been kept in peace by an uneasy truce and a favor owed between their leaders. At last, Damian is calling in that debt, and with it, his natural enemy Logan Cross has just become entrusted with the most precious of to retrieve the prophesied mate of the Wolf Prince and protect her from all others.
Tara Stuart has always known of the powers that came with her birthright, powers that could either unite or destroy depending on the mate at her side to help wield them. She's been trained in the magick, her skills honed. But she would run far and fast before letting primal, seductive Logan Cross deliver her to a complete stranger. She believes her destiny lies elsewhere, maybe even with Logan.

The lexicon for Hunted Mate was very intriguing. Logan was sexy and stubborn, but didn't hold a candle to strong-willed, Tara.
Logan, the Cat Shifter Prince, is sent to "fetch" Tara for the Wolf Shifter Prince. Tara is his (Damian) mate, and as unwilling as she is to accept the idea, Logan is hellbent to get her there--without giving into his (Logan) desire to claim her as his own.
And it wasn't until nearly the last page (I think it was the second to the last) that we find out what will happen to our couple.
This story definitely grabbed and held my interest. I really liked it a lot. I had some problems with it though. For example, near the end, the wolf shifters were looking for their missing leaders but they were searching in the wrong place. The evidently couldn't pick up a scent trail that a Beagle puppy could have followed. There were other errors of that nature in the book. In addition, I don't believe "slinked" is a word. But it was used twice in the book. Overall I did enjoy the story and will be reading more of the author's books.
