Saving Margaret by Krystal Shannan


The music ended and Scott propelled the beautiful and stunned creature away from the dance floor. The poor woman had barely been able to put two words together since he’d touched her. The magick between them was strong and he could feel the mate bond beginning to take shape. It wasn’t something he’d been expecting, especially not at his buddy’s wedding. She was a wolf, not a bear. But, it didn’t matter to him in the least. His family wouldn’t care either. His mom would just be happy that after nearly a century, her baby had finally found his mate.

Now, if he could just get the little female to loosen up a little.

“Would you like to walk outside with me?” He gave her a little push toward the French doors leading out onto a well-lit patio.

“Ours! Ours! We found her! Don’t you dare mess this up!”

Shut it! He hushed his inner beast, which seemed to be more excited right now than he’d ever been his whole life.

“Sure,” she finally managed to squeak out. Her tiny body stood straight and gave a good impression of being in control, but he could feel the nervous tremors where his hand rested on her lower back. The urge to slide his palm lower was tempting, but he didn’t think it would help calm her at all.

He broke contact with her for a moment, slipping off his sport coat and then casually slid it over her bare shoulders. The March weather was nice, but it was still chilly, especially at night. They walked to the edge of the patio and looked out over the cityscape. Vegas was always lit up. He never got used to it. He preferred his Teton Mountain privacy —dark skies, thick forests, and no neighbors to be seen for miles.

“I take it our mate connection surprised you?”

She took a step back and met his gaze. The spark in her brown eyes brought his arousal up a notch. He wondered if that spark would carry over into the bedroom.

“Focus! You horny, bastard.” The beast within jerked on his consciousness.

This is the second book in the Vegas Mates series and if I am being totally honest... I started this series because of this book.  I can't help myself, I love bear shifters!!  There is just something about these big guys that makes them irresistible to me.  It helps that this was a great book and the overall series arc is getting even more interesting. It's worth a read (or two!)

The power of the magick between them can’t be avoided. But, Scott O’Hearn thinks the beautiful Taylor wolf is doing a fine job of just that —avoiding him. He can’t help he’s a bear shifter and he’s determined to convince her it doesn’t matter. She is his mate and he’s waited over a century to find her.

Will he convince Margaret she’s his true match before it’s too late?
