Romance Paranormal

Wolf shifter Mackenzie Davis has no plans to mate with another shifter and doesn't even want to attend the Wolf Gathering. All it is in her mind is a parade of puffed up alpha's searching for sex. And with what she witnessed the last two times she attended did nothing to quell those ideas. The ridiculous ritual of mating is forever TARNISHED in her eyes. Reluctantly, to please her mother she goes but plans to hide out as much as she can until she can get away and see her human boyfriend.

Drake Spencer is coming all the way from Texas to attend this gathering, but he is also very reluctant. Last time he saw "her" and watched as she walked away with another man. He'd rather just stay home but his parents want him to come to keep an eye on the brothers while they meet up with old friends. He can't wait for the two days to be over ... until he bumps into a beauty and ... it's her. Turns out she isn't mated ... good thing because she is his. Now all he has to do is get her to see the truth.

TARNISHED is a sexy, fast paced roller coaster ride. Author Becca Jameson always gives readers a little extra to think about in her writing and this one gives us a lot to ponder as the pages turn. Kenzie was understandably traumatized after witnessing what she did as a teen and Drake is spectacularly patient in his wooing of her. I really loved the couple as they grow and accept that they are meant to be together. I also loved the families on both sides. My only complaint is this was a little too short. This is book one of her series Wolf Gatheringsand I can't wait to get my hands on more.

SUMMARY

Wolf shifter Mackenzie Davis has no interest in mating with another wolf. A horrific experience in her past has hardened her to this tradition of her heritage. She loves her life as is: perfect job, perfect friends, and the absolute perfect boyfriend—a human one. Nevertheless, her mother guilts her into attending this year’s Wolf Gathering. 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 last year’s gathering. But what if the woman consuming his dreams for the past two years is not actually mated?

When Mackenzie and Drake meet, sparks fly. Kenzie hopes to deny his claim on her, but the call of mates is stronger than she ever expected. If she follows Drake to his family home in Texas, will she lose her sense of self, or will she find out who she truly could be? And can Drake live with the scars of her past?
