Another fantastic book. Caleb is supposed to keep Sarah safe, but can he do that without falling in love. Action and romance at its finest. Don’t miss out.

Caleb Lupen drove down Martin Luther King Boulevard and frowned when he noticed a parked black SUV with dark tinted windows. As a precaution, he told Glenna McReynolds to duck down in her seat. She was a newly-turned shifter and they really shouldn’t be out here right now until she learned to control her wolf. But she had talked him into this drive-by of her grandmother’s house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her sister, Sarah. Just as they were passing the house, a blonde in a blue car pulled up and parked, the woman getting out and heading briskly toward them with a curious look. Glenna confirmed it was Sarah, her sister. He accelerated the car before she reached them and turned the corner as a black SUV, the one they had seen earlier, came toward him. He pushed Glenna down again as she tried to sit up and see what was going on. As a pack enforcer, Caleb did not believe in coincidences. This could be trouble!

Shifters have always been a secret and they meticulously stay out of sight of the human population to avoid problems. Although the government knows how a bite can introduce the virus that creates them, the government lies to the public. People are told they will turn into a wolf and then die, so Sarah has been told that Glenna is dead and was cremated. But Sarah has her suspicions and is determined to find out the truth, despite the fact that her actions will put her in great danger. To protect Glenna’s sister, Caleb must risk his job, his status as an enforcer, and his life. And if he fails, he had the added the risk of losing his Fated mate! Can he protect Sarah?

I love shifter stories! Each one seems to have a slightly different slant to shifters and it’s intriguing to learn the “new rules” as the author builds up their world for us. Grab your copy and enjoy a well-written story! Will Caleb get to keep his mate?

Sarah is the younger sister of Glenna, the h featured in STALKED MATE. She refuses to believe the CDC when they say that Glenna's dead and keeps thinking that she's seeing glimpses of her everywhere she goes. Sarah isn't far from the truth. Glenna desperately wants to reach out to her, but maintaining pack secrecy means that she has to stay away. But just because she can't get close, that doesn't mean no one can. Glenna convinces Caleb to watch out for Sarah in her stead. But the closer Caleb gets to Sarah, the more he realizes that just "watching out" will never be enough for him.

I'm always happy to catch up with characters from previous books and this one gave a nice look at Glenna and Sam without having them overwhelm the story. Sarah was a great sister. I can't imagine how hard it was for her to feel like Glenna was still alive, but have everyone call her crazy for thinking so. Caleb was such a good guy. He always tried to do what was in the best interests of the people around him instead of looking out for himself. I couldn't wait for the moment when he realized that his needs mattered too.

HUNTED MATE tied up a lot of loose ends from throughout the series, but I'm glad that there's a final book to wrap everything up. I'll definitely be reading the last story.

Possible spoiler alert:
Sarah has been told her sister Glenna contracted the virus, died, and was cremated. However, she has been seeing glimpses of her everywhere. Is she really dead, or is something else going on? Caleb, as one of the enforcers, needs to protect their secret. People are not supposed to be aware of wolf shifters. He has been tasked with keeping Sarah while hiding her sister’s new existence as a wolf shifter. Will he be able to keep her safe as the realization comes that she is his mate?

This book is very well written. It is suspenseful having Caleb try to protect Sarah and their secret. However, when he realizes that his and his mate’s destiny matter too, that was what brought the book together for me. Jessica Aspen wrote a book that I was truly excited to read. The steamy scenes were just an added bonus.

A wonderful story that is about Sarah McReynolds, Glenna's sister who is determined to uncover the lie that her sister is dead when someone keeps sending proof that she is alive and Caleb Lupen, wolf shifter enforcer, who was asked by Glenna to watch over her and is trying to protect the pack and Glenna from Sarah finding and exposing her. Some of the bad guys from the previous book return; the danger of the CDC who want Glenna for experiments so they're tailing Sarah; Roger, Glenna's ex fiancé who is determined to remain in the family so he can keep running the family business, and a secret spellcaster group who marked Sarah to be bitten to become a mate for one of their members. Then there is is growing romantic relationship between Sarah and Caleb and all the dangers which gives this story plenty of action with twist and turns in this engaging story I volunteer to read and review via Booksprout.

This is book four in Jessica Aspen's series Fated Mountain Wold Pack and it was a great read. It's Sarah and Caleb's story they are fated mated with a great chemistry and he is a pack enforcer who is taking a newly turned wolf on a drive by her grandmothers house to see if she can get a glimpse of her sister even though it's not permitted. when the get there her sister Sarah sees them and walks towards them as a black suv comes towards them also. Caleb doesn't believe in coincidences and now must risk his job, status as an enforcer and his life to keep his mate safe. I loved shifter stories and this one was great.

I enjoyed reading this book and seeing what happened to Sarah as well as catching up with Glenna and Sam. Sarah is bound and determined to find out where her sister is not believing that she died. She gets more than she planned on though. I enjoyed the 3 dimensional feeling of the characters and all the feelings. Great putting together of a story but not all ends are tied up which I assume will happen in the next book.

Sarah is told her sister had died but she is sure she is alive then she encounters Caleb.
Since Sarah and her grandmother were told six month ago that her sister Glenna had died and due to the the nature of her death her body was cremated but Sarah feels her sister is still alive. Then she sees a dark haired man driving with a passenger who looks like her sister and sees him again a few days later making her think he is watching her. When she sees him outside a restaurant she finds his car and waits for him and questions him about her sister.

Shifters are a secret and they are willing to do almost anything to keep it that way. The government knows about the virus that creates them but tells the general public that it causes the person to believe they are a wolf and then die. Sarah has been told her sister is dead and her body was burned to control the virus. But she knows it’s not true and will do anything to find the truth. She just didn’t expect to be followed by a tall dark and handsome stranger. She will find danger and adventure but will she find the truth?

Not everything goes as planned I this paranormal romance and, because of the involvement of fate, the problems add to the storyline. This enticing read keeps you hooked from the start. The characters are entertaining and the backdrop realistically detailed. With a plot full of twists and turns this book is thoroughly enjoyable.

Exactly as described in the book blurb, this book is filled with adventure, danger and romance. A four star read in my opinion.

Great addition to the Sci-Fi/Paranormal Romance genre!

The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world she created.

The attitudes toward the events that are happening make the story even richer and the characters more relatable.

Another great fated mate story full of action and romance. Secrets have a way of biting you in the butt and with shifters, that could mean literally. Especially when the secret concerns concealing a long lost loved one. Very easy to read, the pages fly by and the characters swoop to life smoothly. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.

The fourth book in the series brings Sarah and Caleb's story. The author once again brings strong characters and weaves an action packed story filled with intrigue and danger as well as the romance. She did a great job pulling me in and had me glued to the pages from start to finish. I loved and would recommend this book.

Sarah's life had changed the day that the CDC informed her, her sister was dead, but with no body to lay to rest and unless she was going crazy she could swear that she has seen Glenna at different places she wont accept she is alone in life. A promise to her Alphas mate put Caleb in the path of one determined woman that smells delicious and he cant get her out of his thought. With the mating fever heating him from the inside out this couples adventure starts with danger and intrigue. Wonderful characters and as a republished story is still really good.

Although this is the first I have read in the series, I followed along quite easily. Sarah is the only person who believes her sister is still alive. But she doesn't want to be found and Sarah won't give up. Caleb is tasked with keeping an eye on her and their secret safe. However, both of them are going to have a hard time protecting their hearts. Filled with action and a bit of romance. Great read!

The dead shall rise again
I just love how these wolves keep falling for the incredible ladies in their lives. How was Caleb supposed to stay strong and resist Sarah when all she wanted was to find out what happened to her sister? The author really did a fantastic job with this book! She added to the intensity of the other books and kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. I love all the twists as the two characters finally found their road to each other and the truth. The writing in this book is exactly why I continue to one-click this author every time. I can’t wait to see what she brings my way next.
