WHITNEY (Alpha Marked #3) by Celia Kyle

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 3013

Thirty and single? Well, getcha ass to the Gathering!

Whitney Wickham is at the darned annual werewolf Gathering all right. Only there’s one problem: she doesn’t belong there. Her sisters carry the Mark indicating they’ll mate an Alpha Pair of wolves, while Whitney does not have that lovely, swirling scar. She’s been hauled half way around the world to be stared at, and not-so-covertly sniffed, for no reason. Unfortunately the gorgeous, drool worthy, magic-mojo-wielding Wardens don’t know why she’s been summoned to the Gathering any more than she does. Which sucks. But at least they’re hot.

Emmett Greene and Levy Walters are Wardens–keepers of the law and embodiment of the magic of the werewolves. They can never mate, never marry, and never form a lasting romantic relationship. It’s a hard and fast law that keeps their powers pure of outside influence.

Rules are going to be broken.

One look at Whitney, one hint of her scent, and they realize their immovable laws might have to jiggle. She’s got luscious curves, a wicked smile, and a mouth that would make a thousand men weep. No matter the rules, their inner wolves will claim her. The only things standing in their way are the Elder Wardens who will do anything… anything… to keep Emmett and Levy from discovering the truth: the laws are wrong. And being with Whitney Wickham is so very, very right.

•••••••••••••••

REVIEW: WHITNEY is the third instalment in Celia Kyle’s erotic, paranormal Alpha Marked novella series focusing on fraternal triplets-Scarlet, Gabrielle and Whitney-potential mates to alpha pairs. This is an erotic series with M/M/F sexual situations and is therefore recommended for 18+ years.

The premise of the novella length storylines is the festival of The Gathering- a speed dating (of sorts) where marked human females (who have not been claimed by their thirtieth birthday) are commanded to present themselves as potential mates for Alpha pairs. This is Whitney’s story and all three storylines take place over one weekend.

The premise follows Whitney –unmarked and therefore not a potential mate for the alpha pairs- but for some unexplained reason her presence has been commanded by the magical ruling Wardens. Hoping to get an explanation as to why she has been invited, Whitney will come face to face with the two men who would eventually become her mates.

The storyline has a bit of a twist from the previous two novellas. Throughout the history of the shifters, ruling Wardens have not been allowed to mate and are therefore exempt from the Gathering but on this particular weekend, Emmett and Levy are pulled towards the remaining and unmarked Wickham triplet and if their internal wolf is correct-this woman is their mate. But what ensues is a magical minefield where the ruling elders will take aim at Whitney to ensure the ruling Wardens never take a mate.

Celia Kyle has written another fast paced, action filled storyline where the attraction between potential mates is instant, sexual and animalistic. There is no denying that these three are meant for one another and in completing the mating ritual they will open the possibility for ruling Wardens everywhere to find their own mates without threat of death or incarceration.

If you like a paranormal storyline of action, sexual heat and a little bit on the kinky side, Celia Kyle’s Alpha Marked series is for you.

Thirty and single? Well, getcha ass to the Gathering!

As if hitting thirty wasn’t enough, unmated Scarlet Wickham is summoned to this year’s Gathering. As a woman Marked to be the mate of an Alpha pair, she’s not going to find happiness anywhere other than in the arms of two Alpha werewolves. So, off she goes with her sisters in tow. ‘Cause yeah, she’s one of the plump Wickham triplets, and they’re all being carted off to werewolf speed dating.

Keller and Madden, Ruling Alpha pair, can’t believe their luck. They’ve found their mate, and she’s more than they could have ever hoped for. She’s feisty with spirit to spare, and lush curves that they want to trace with their tongues. They can’t wait to solidify their bond and get to know the beautiful woman who is to rule at their side. But first, there’s the minor inconvenience of a challenge to the death…

Thirty and single? Getcha ass to the Gathering!

Ugh. Gabriella Wickham thought turning thirty was bad enough, but now she’s been invited (ordered) to attend this year’s Gathering (werewolf speed dating). Having a Mark on her arm means that she’s one of the few human women destined to mate with not one, but two Alpha werewolves. Thank goodness werewolves don’t come in “ugly.” After her sister Scarlet mates the Ruling Alphas, things really start to get interesting. Gabby runs into not one, but two hotter than hot werewolves who make her tingle in all the right places. Yum. Of course, “yum” comes with baggage of both the mental and female kind. Lovely. Luckily it’s nothing a few punches and a good talking to can’t cure. Maybe…-ish.

Berke Davis and Jack Wright know that lush, curvaceous Gabriella is their mate. Who cares that they’re currently not part of an Alpha pair? Details, details. Burke has been half bound to his best friend Jack since they were four, but the past keeps them from solidifying their pairing and taking up the mantle of Alpha. Berke understands his friend’s feelings, but Jack is about to get a lesson on living and loving. Berke just hopes the lessons are learned before they both lose Gabriella. Especially when she is Challenged by a rival to first blood…a Challenge that could end in very permanent, and deadly, consequences…for Gabriella.
