Tarnished by Becca Jameson

(Wolf Gatherings -  Book One)

Synopsis:

Wolf shifter Mackenzie Davis has no interest in mating with another wolf. A horrific experience in her past has hardened her to this resolve. She loves her life as is, with the perfect job, the perfect friends, and the perfect boyfriend—a human one. Nevertheless, her mother implores her to attend this year’s Wolf Gathering. Reluctantly dragging her feet, she agrees to one day only.

Drake Spencer has come to the gathering from Texas with his family. He’s twenty-eight and believes his chances of finding a mate are slim to none, especially since he saw the woman he felt connected to leave with another man at the last gathering. But what if the woman who has consumed his dreams for the last two years is not actually mated?

When Mackenzie and Drake meet, sparks fly. Kenzie hopes to deny the claim on her. But can she? The call of mates is stronger than she expected. What will happen to her sense of self if she follows this man to Texas? Not to mention Drake. Can he live with the mental scars of her past?

 

My Review: 3 out of 5

I did enjoy the book, it is a very quick easy read. 

 

I though Drake was lovely, he is a great caring Alpha male that imprints on his love and will do anything to make her happy, even restraining his natural desire to make her his. 

 

I had some issues with Kenzie herself, we were told she had a horrific experience in her past, and it was alluded to something had happened to her when she was 19 and this holds her back from wanting to find a wolf mate.  When she does imprint with Drake, she has a terrible time coming to grips with the overpowering desire to mate and fights it nearly to the detriment of both herself and Drake. 

 

When we do find out what it was that happened to her, I felt that the way the author has written Kenzie's subsequent behaviour, would be more in line if she was a young girl when she experienced this rather than an adult of 19, unless she was very immature or innocent.  So that made me not like her as much as I liked Drake.

 

All that being said it is still a good love story with some angst.

 

 

 

Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?

I would read others by this author if I liked the synopsis..

 

Would I recommend someone else to read this story?

I would recommend it to someone who likes wolf/shape-shifter romances as a quick read.
