From animosity
to searing passion in a lunar cycle… but can their bond survive?
Wolf shifter
Nathan Kohl’s pack is his whole life. Arrogant and handsome, he avoids
commitment to anything or anyone outside of his pack. He works hard, plays
hard, and pursues humans as lovers because there’s little to no chance of him
forming a permanent bond. However, when Jared Taylor comes into Nathan’s life,
every rule is broken.
After a bad
experience, Jared vowed to never get involved with another shifter, no matter
how much they got under his skin. Despite being physically attracted to Nathan,
who’s all kinds of hot, Jared only sees an arrogant, domineering bastard.
A disastrous
case of mistaken identity throws Nathan and Jared together until the next full
moon. Forced to spend the next twenty-eight days in close proximity, they can
no longer ignore the powerful attraction between them. Passion ignites, and
their relationship takes a turn neither of them wanted.
But when the
full moon comes, everything might change again.
My Thoughts
Up until now I more or less stayed away from
paranormal stories. Not because I have anything against them, or because I
thought I wouldn’t enjoy them but because I need a new (sub)genre to get
addicted to like I need a hole in the head. I’m already struggling to read all
the books I’m interested in as it is. And then I read the blurb for Bitten
by Mistake and didn’t even hesitate; I had to read the book.
The good news is that I loved the book. The
(for me) not so good news is that I now do find myself with a sub-genre to add
to my must read list.
I’m not entirely sure where to start, there is
so much I loved about this story. I adored Jared and Nathan and the constant
push and pull between them. When the story starts Jared (for good reasons which
aren’t revealed until later on) has very good reasons to keep his distance from
shifters. So to say he’s unhappy when Nathan accidentally binds him and thus
‘condemns’ both of them to spending four weeks together, would be a gross
understatement.
Nathan is not a whole lot happier about the
situation. While he doesn’t dislike Jared or humans in general, he’s only too
aware that having bitten and possibly infected a human without prior permission
could have very dire consequences for both of them. The situation leaves him
with no choice, he has to keep Jared both a secret and close to him until the
next full moon will reveal whether or not Jared has been changed.
It isn’t long before an undeniable attraction
between them pulls them close. What initially appears to be ‘only’ mind-blowing
sex soon reveals itself as the two of them having bonded. The bond is as
confusing as it is exhilarating but the big problem is that just as no one can
predict whether or not Jared will change, nobody knows whether or not their
bond will survive the next full moon. And as much as neither Nathan nor Jared
had wanted to be in the situation they find themselves in, they want to live
without each other and the bond between them even less.
And in the background unrest in the shifter
world may mean Nathan and Jared won’t live to see the next full moon together.
This book had me hooked from the opening
paragraph. The story is filled with tension, danger, very hot and passionate
sex, two fabulous protagonists, and a cast of fascinating secondary characters.
I couldn’t help but ache for Nathan and Jared as they can’t be sure whether the
strong emotions they experience are the result of genuine attraction or their
bonding.
This book is filled with all the feels. From
Jared coming to terms with his attraction to Nathan despite his hatred of
shifters, to the fear both of them experience that they may not feel the same
after the full moon had me racing through the book as fast as I possibly could,
just to make sure they’d get to their happily ever after.
If I read the epilogue right, this may well be
the first title in a series. If I’m right about that, I can now stop worrying
about whether or not I’ll be reading more paranormal titles in the future.
Because even if I never try such a title by another author, I know I won’t be
able to resist the opportunity to visit this world and these characters again.
Or, if you’d like me to be really succinct: This is a fabulous book.
