Wanting a new start after a painful year Jade picks up and moves herself and her kids to a castle that she has just learned is her ancestral home. During their Halloween party danger comes lurking and the Celtic God Dagda comes to her rescue. Will Dagda be able to keep Jade safe as he claims her as his mate?

This short story was a good read. I enjoyed watching the bond grow between Dagda and Jade. As gruff as Dagda is he shows what a soft heart he has underneath it all. Jade is a wonderful mother trying to find peace after so much pain. The love that they share is powerful and together they fight for their love and against the threat of Bres. It was nice to see such devotion and caring from people of such power.

I enjoyed meeting each of the Gods from Dagda to Danu. Each of them endears themselves to the reader. My only complaint was that this book was too short. I would love to read more of these Celtic gods and their lives. With characters full of depth and emotion this is a book that should not be missed.

Roul Verlaine and Morgan Kale are drawn to each other from the instant they meet. There was no doubt from either of them that the sex was explosive, but Roul wasn’t looking for strings. He also didn’t realize that Morgan was his mate, which was fine with her. Her fear of loving and losing the one to complete her made her willing to let him walk away. Can Roul figure out who Morgan really is to him? Can Morgan let this Alpha wolf bind her to him?

I’m not usually a fan of stories this short, but I have to say that the length didn’t keep the characters from being well-developed and didn’t keep me from getting invested in their outcome! Now that takes some talent. The words painted quite vivid pictures for me, not just of the smoking hot lovin’, but also of the intense emotions! I really, really enjoyed Mating, and the only thing I wished was that it was a bit longer.
