Some bonds can’t be broken . . .
Becoming a werewolf changed me, including my dreams for the future. More than anything, I want a family of my own, but that’s impossible with Jagger Montgomery in the picture.
Midnight Pack’s second in command is broody, mysterious, and completely infuriating. He makes it his mission to watch over me, scaring off any males who get close to me. And that’s the problem. I can’t very well start a family without a mate.
What’s worse, I’m drawn to him in a way I can’t explain. Which is stupid, considering we barely even talk to each other.
There’s only one way I can think to secure the future I want and stop obsessing over a male who won’t pursue me.
Leave my pack.
Problem is, the world is dangerous for a lone female werewolf—especially one that can barely control her wolf.
MIDNIGHT BOND is Jagger and Brielle’s story, a standalone werewolf romance. For fans of wolf shifters, rejected mates, opposites attract, and fated mates romance. Guaranteed HEA.
*This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. Best suited for ages 18+ due to sexual situations.
My Review
Brielle is smart, yearning for a wolf she hasn’t gotten yet, and navigating her new life really well. But the yearning between her and Jagger, omg, it is so palpable. She also might be starting her first heat at no other place than a wedding in Maine. Mother Nature has great timing.
“I squirmed in my seat, resisting the urge to fan my flushed skin. It was almost that time of the month again, the time I dreaded most in the world. No, not Shark Week. This was much, much worse. Something I’d been living with for over a year now. I was getting better at catching the signs earlier on—the random hot flashes, the agitation and restlessness, the need to be outdoors. Thankfully, the desire for raw meat hadn’t hit yet. Still, I’d take my period any day over this incessant itch under my skin. Hell, I’d take menopause.”- BRIELLE.
Oh, I love that Jaggers’ demon gives us pieces of the puzzle, and it starts to make more sense, but why is he not acting on them?
Her family’s reaction to her newfound life will rip your heart out. Brielle is looking for her mate. She wants a family above all else and not to be so lonely. But we all know that her actual mate is right in front of her, but she doesn’t know which makes this so good. Also, mate ball for eligible unmated wolves, like what?
I’m expecting the tension in this book between Brielle and Jagger to shatter at some point, and it will be epic. Until then, they are both restless, angry, and way overprotective on Jaggers’ part, but oh, the dominant alpha male is so hot.
Her steamy outing turns out not to be what she expected, and thankfully, Jagger is there to save her again.
“Jagger gripped him by the throat in a vicious hold and yanked him close. “You will never, ever touch my mate again,” Jagger growled in the face of the defeated male. My jaw practically fell to the floor. Did he just . . . Did he just say mate?” – Brielle
Like, if the possessive protective man isn’t hot enough, but he finally claimed her, and omg, the angst and tension between them. It doesn’t just stop; these two are like oil and water, every single thing becomes enemies to lovers.
“As I drove away from the campsite with Brielle in the seat beside me, I knew three things with certainty. One: She was absolutely furious with me. Two: I was hopelessly addicted to her taste. And three: I desperately wanted to taste her again.”-Jagger
Omg, Swoon stranded in a snowstorm like this is the best part of the book. But their encounters are heart-wrenching.
“I was a monster, and monsters couldn’t have someone like her. She’d already lost her humanity and old life. She’d died in my arms. I couldn’t take anything else from her. Rejecting the bond would be agony, but if I didn’t… I’d utterly ruin her.”-Jagger.
“Problem is, I’m insatiable. Once I let the beast out, it’s over. I’ll devour you, and I won’t stop, even if you beg me to. I’ll mark you, claim you, mate you, breed you.”-Jagger.
After all these sizzling hot confessions, what will she do? I have to admit the Jagger is tiptoeing the line of dark romance, and it is smokin’ hot. Omg this gets even better, first you have the bond reluctance with the waffling now, rejection. A look at his inner issues, you have her in heat, and her fated mate is the only one who could help her. I don’t think she is pathetic. I think he needs to man up and claim his mate already.
“Feeling her warmth. Hearing her breathe. Knowing that she was safe and secure. I couldn’t live without this. This was everything, and I wouldn’t let anyone separate us again.”- Jagger.
Jagger is full of surprises with the BDSM likes and the inexperience. This heat gets kinky and sizzling. Oh, add in a knot and rut, and this might just make a higher star rating, cause it is so well written. Omg, the ending of this book is amazing, so cozy yet absolutely wrecks you as well.
“I survived so that I could live” – Brielle.
This book is a five-star read for me. It has everything I love: fated mates, found family, and tension between the mcs. It is well written and I couldn’t put it down. If you love fated mates, sizzling scenes, and protective alpha males, you will love this story.
