Paisley's story picks up where Lorelei's story ends while her sister's are meeting their mates at the Gathering, Paisley is kidnapped not knowing anything about werewolves and the magic she carries inside. Just when she thinks she's about to come to a disturbing end something blows up and when she realizes it was her own doing that is just the beginning of the story.

Coming to her rescue after she knocks out her captor are two hot looking werewolves, Hawkins and Chance. They have quite a story to tell her and while she is reunited with her sisters Paisley must come to terms with a whole world she doesn't know anything about and figure out why she was kidnapped in the first place.

I purchased this book a while back, but didn't get a chance to read it until just this week. First of all if you have missed the Alpha Marked series I would recommend you read it in order to keep up with who all the characters are and why these sisters and cousins find themselves in the middle of a werewolf war.

Once you get to Paisley's story you are in for a treat. So far my favorite, Paisley's story digs deeper in the personalities between the three chosen mates and pulls in a little more emotion than the other stories. Paisley comes to terms rather quickly with what is going on and I wish with the rest of what is going on she would have held off a bit longer, but otherwise the connection to the rest of the storyline works well.

Not that Celia Kyle has finished with the second set of sisters it will be interesting to see if she decides to go on with a new group of characters.

Description:

Thirty and single? Well, getcha butt to the Gathering! Wait… what? 

Paisley Twynham is over the whole werewolf thing. It’d been a shock to be magically kidnapped and plopped in the middle of a werewolf gathering. Then she got kidnapped a second time, had the crap beat out of her, escaped, and then met two men who are supposed to be her mates. Yup, all kinds of “over” the Gathering. Her only salvations are her sisters and… the two men she can’t help but drool over. Tall, muscular, sexy as hell, and for some reason, they want her fluffy ass. Maybe she doesn’t hate werewolves as much as she thought… 

Chance and Hawkins don’t quite have a solid Warden bond. Hawkins is holding back while Chance is slowly reaching the end of his patience after ten years of partnership. The only woman who might save them is Paisley. Seductive, curvaceous, vivacious Paisley Twynham. She’s their Warden Born mate and Chance refuses to let Hawkins’ past stand in the way of their future. 

But something else hides in their path that threatens to end their mating before it begins. Or rather, someone.

Book five of the Alpha Marked series finds the second of the Twynham sisters to be found at the gathering. Although the Twynham sisters are related to the Wickham sister, their side of the family does not know anything about their heritage or that werewolves even exist. When Lorelei sudden finds herself zapped from the firing range to the Gathering hotel hallway with nothing but her little pink gun she doesn't have any idea what is going on and has to use her whits to get her through the ordeal.

It isn't until she meets her hunky mates that she first gets an idea of what is happening, but not everyone wants the Lorelei to find her Warden werewolf mates. And what has happened to her youngest sister?

Ever since I first started reading Celia Kyle's stories, I've enjoyed all, but this one gets a few points off. I wanted to see more of the authors usual rumor and free flowing spirit run through the story line, and I felt we didn't really get a chance to get enough detail about all the characters. We learn a lot about Dylan, the strong, not so self assured mate and his past, but what about Zeke, besides being the easygoing wolf. Even what we learn about Lorelei is limited as more story is based on what could have happened to the third sister Paisley.

However, these books must be read in sequence and maybe we will learn more in book six and Paisley's story.

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

Lorelei is a hint over thirty—nobody better ask how much of a hint—and isn’t sure why the hell she’s been magically hauled to the land of werewolves. But she has. Which sucks. At least they stole her while she was at the gun range. Go Pink Pistol of Doom! So, they stole her, she stole a cell phone in return, and all is crazy in her new werewolf-laced world. It gets even crazier when, 1—she discovers her sisters have been kidnapped, too, and 2—werewolves are sexy as all get out. Lorelei is determined to come to her sisters’ rescue and well, see what Dylan and Zeke have to offer.

Dylan and Zeke can’t believe they’ve found their mate. Even though word was passed around that Wardens can have mates, they never thought they’d find theirs. And yet, here she is. Lorelei—gorgeous, lush, and curved in all the right places—calls to their magic and heats up their wolves. They want to lick her from head to toe… together. And they will, once they get that little gun out of her hands. Hell, maybe she could keep it. She is sexy even when she threatens their lives.

They found her and now they’re gonna mate her… as soon as they take care of the powerful five families threatening to take Lorelei from them. Blood may be involved. Sucks to be those guys.

The forth book in the Alpha Marked series introduces readers to Rebecca, Scarlett and her Wickham sister's long lost cousin. Rebecca's family and the Wickham family split when Rebecca was younger due to an family argument. Without knowing the family history, Rebecca is whisked away to the annual Werewolf Alpha and Warden gathering through magic means.

Rebecca has no idea where she is or how she got there or even that werewolves are real. Thrown into this new world Rebecca meets her cousins again and finds out that she is there because she is a mate for a werewolf alpha pair. Right away she meets Alpha pair Aidan and Carson and they tell her she's their mate.

For 14 years, Aidan and Carson knew they would find and share a mate as an alpha pair. Women has naturally been attracted to Carson's good looks, but when Rebecca clings to Aidan and shies away from Carson, Carson's reaction opens wounds that the three will have to deal with before they can mate for good.

In the meantime, their own issues aren't the only threat the three will need to deal with before they can become alpha mates.

Good story and characters to add to the Alpha Marked series, leading the storyline to continue with Rebecca's side of the family and her own set of sisters.

Description:

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

Rebecca Twynham hates nature, loves a juicy steak, is not Marked, and thinks wolves come in one form: on four feet and with fur. So when she’s hauled to the annual werewolf Gathering by this scary as hell magical vortex, she’s pretty surprised to find out werewolves are real. With that new knowledge, she finds she still hates nature, she’d love a juicy steak, and maybe—she might be—Marked. Well, she doesn’t see a Mark, but she also has heavy scarring from a childhood accident—or was it intentional? Plus, she really wants to climb the gorgeous Alpha Pair, Aidan and Carson, like a tree. Luckily the two hot werewolves wanna sink their roots into her flower and… The nature analogies have gone too far. 

Aidan and Carson have been a strong Alpha Pair for fourteen years. They’re tied together by their bond, and ache to claim a woman as their own. But while Carson has always been the GQ ladies’ man, Aidan has been the afterthought—the heavily scarred and frightening werewolf who’s caused more than one woman to faint. 

When they find Rebecca hiding in the Bad Doggie ballroom, they rejoice that they’ve finally found the one for them. Except with curvaceous, delicious Rebecca, their roles are reversed. Instead of rushing into the arms of sleek and sexy Carson, Rebecca clings to Aidan. Carson should rejoice in her acceptance of Aidan, but jealousy rears its ugly head, destroying their triad before it has a moment to form. 

Then things go from jealousy-driven bad to worse when the five families decide there won’t be any more Wickhams joining the wolfy family trees. 

Oh, right, she forgot that part. Apparently her Wickham cousins are kind of a big deal in werewolf land. Big.

What she didn't expect was the letter that arrived on her 30th birthday with the invite for her to attend the gathering.

The next thing she knows she's running off to the gathering with her sisters, but she knows their must be a mistake. All she wants to do is meet with those in charge and get the whole thing over with so she can go home mateless. 

As soon as Wardens of the Gathering, Emmett and Levy meet Whitney they know something must be wrong. Wardens don't have mates. They aren't allowed to mate even if they wanted to, but they are hard pressed to get their wolves to comply and when they do start the matting all hell breaks loose because there all those who don't want tradition screwed with.

This is the third and final book in the Alpha Marked series. These triplets are nobody's fool. They will take on any mate and even though Whitney may want to be the sweet and innocent type, she'll kick butt if she needs to. Of the three snarky sisters, I like Whitney best of all. 

These books are short, but a fun read. Start with the first as they shouldn't be read on their own to best understand the story.

Description:

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.

Gabriella is smart, funny and sassy and she can't play anyone's patsy, but she knows that there is nothing us to do but accept her fate when she is called to the Gathering now that she is thirty. If she has to do it she's not going to take anything from anyone. That's her motto, until she sees how happy her sister is after accepting her mates.

But things don't go as smoothly for Gabriella as they did for her sister. Gabby mates aren't an alpha pair, or at least they haven't completed their bond and they reject her. 

That rejection doesn't stop a challenge against Gabby and now all Gabby sees is things are going from bad to worse.

Berke and Jack have known they were an alpha pair since the age of four when they started the right of passage, but circumstances in the past stopped the process and now they are stuck with the consequences. For Berke it is hell. He has wanted nothing but to claim his place with Jack and find their mate. And her she is. But Jack's tortured past is leaving him in limbo. 

Can Jack push forward and save Gabby before it is too late?

Humorous and exciting to the end, Gabby is the type of personality that you just want to keep routing for because even though she is so tough and jaded, she has a heart of gold and a sense of humor that is lights up the pages. Making this story a hit even if the romance didn't pan out.

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.
