Review: Jager’s Mate – Marisa Chenery

Daylen is a cop, and a good one. When she discovers two men sword fighting in an alley during one of her nightly patrols, she confronts them, ordering them to put down their weapons. One of the men takes off running, surprising her with his speed. With one man left, she knows she’ll have to take him down when he ignores her demands. With her suspect in her grasp, her world turns upside down when he pins her to the ground and kisses her senseless.

Jager knows no wilting flower, werewolf or mortal, would ever survive as his mate, but this cop has all the right moves. Her scent leaves no doubt this mortal woman is his, and after tasting her lips, he knows claiming her will be a challenge. The bigger problem, however, might be her obsession to arrest him whenever they meet. As their passion flares, he’ll do anything it takes to make her his mate.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

I read the first book in this series and had a few reservations about it but I didn’t want one book to prejudice me against the author and the series. I really wanted to like this book. I love the premise of sword-wielding, wolf-shifting warriors who live hundreds of years, searching for the chosen one in order to protect her great power from falling into the wrong hands.

Jager’s Mate is pretty much the same story as Roan’s Fall. The wolf shifter senses his mate, pursues her, fights the enemy for her, the heroine comes to terms with what he is, they mate and it’s over. The dialog was predictable and a little hokey at times. I found myself skipping parts of the story because I’ve already read it in the previous book.

What I do like about these stories are the characters. I find myself wanting to know more about them and their histories. I enjoy reading about their easy camaraderie, the way they banter and joke around and most of all, how they would lay their lives down for each other.

As I stated in the previous review, the author has a great idea for the story. However, by breaking the story up into smaller books it is taking away from the overall integrity of it. If the plot was more detailed and all the smaller stories combined, this would be a great read.
