he’s not looking for a mate…

Sapphire is cursed. Every relationship she’s ever been in has ended poorly. So she’s sworn off relationships and is happy with her life. Until Eli comes along—a one-night stand that turned into two nights. When things got too intense, she did what she always did. She ran.

He’s not letting her get away…

This time Eli isn’t letting Sapphire go without a fight. When her friend needs help escaping an abusive situation, he steps up, no questions asked. It doesn’t matter that Sapphire won’t tell him why she’s holding back from him. He’s a jaguar shifter and cats are very patient—he’ll wait for his mate to come around. But before he can claim her once and for all, they’ll have to deal with an angry bunch of shifters who are out for blood.

REVIEW: JAGUAR’S MATE is the eighth instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult CRESCENT MOON paranormal, romance series. This is jaguar shifter and tracker Eli Scott, and wolf shifter Sapphire Zappa’s story line. JAGUAR’S MATE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sapphire and Eli) JAGUAR’S MATE follows the second chance relationship and romance between jaguar shifter and tracker Eli Scott, and wolf shifter Sapphire Zappa. Eli Scott found his mate, one month earlier, a woman who ran after a one-night stand. Hoping to reconnect with the woman that call’s to his heart, Eli heads into Kendrick Pack territory only to discover that Sapphire is about to do some tracking of her own. When her best friend’s daughter needs help out of an abusive relationship, Sapphire and Eli head into another wolf’s territory in an effort to rescue one of their own. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Sapphire and Eli, and the potential fall-out as our couple find themselves hunted as well.

JAGUAR’S MATE is a novella-length tale of fated mates. Katie Reus pulls the reader in a fast paced, passionate and imaginative story wherein jaguar intends to claim the mate of his heart. The premise is encouraging; the characters are animated and strong.
