Predator and prey...one reluctant mate.
Cody Sanderson wasn't looking for a life on the run, but one mistake has cost him his freedom. If he gets caught, it might cost him his life. The man he hooked up with for a night wasn't a man after all, but a beast intent on owning Cody.
But Cody isn't anyone's to keep. He will evade capture and die before he lets himself be caged by a monster. When he's finally caught, he thinks he's about to be taken to the one man he doesn't want to see ever again. Instead, he's offered protection and a solution that will keep him safe.
The only thing is, he'd have to be mated to one of the very things he feared most—a wolf shifter. Cody's not so sure the risk is worth taking.
Prey and hunter are never easily matched, being natural enemies and not exactly meant to live together. Even though my first assumption when reading the title turned out to be incorrect, I was by no means disappointed in this story. Rather than two shifters, with one a prey animal, ‘Prey Mate’ has a human as the prey, and a wolf shifter as the hunter. And that was not the only surprise – this story is full of unexpected revelations and that made for excellent reading.
Cody is a young human man on the run. He unknowingly got involved with a wolf shifter alpha of the worst kind – possessive, power hungry, and ruthless. Since Cody hates “monsters”, he has no intention of becoming the crazed shifter’s mate. But he also knows he is no match for the men sent to find him, so he is pretty desperate.
Derrick is the man who finally catches up with Cody, only he is not a man but a wolf shifter as well. He has also been sent by the evil alpha, so Cody at first believes he’s done for. But Derrick has his own agenda – and more than one secret – so when he offers to become Cody’s mate for protection, there is more to the deal than meets the eye.
If you like shifter stories with a twist, if two men end up mated who weren’t even looking for a partner sounds like an interesting story, and if you’re looking for a read that is set in an imaginative world, is full of revelations, and has a sweet ending, then you will probably like this novella.
