Bonded Pair was definitely a quick read. Compared to the other books in this series, this one focused more on the mated pair than the pack itself. And I really enjoyed that, but I sure was having a lot of strong with the hero, Shane.

I felt for Megan sooooo much, it can't be easy to watch all the ones you love around you finally finding your mate. And you're just sitting there wondering when it'll be your turn. But once it happens, what should have been one of the best things turned into something different. Something you've yearned for for so long and it's slipping out of your fingers.

I just about agreed with Megan every step of the way. And I'm glad soooo many people saw from her POV, but it was a real head scratcher to see Shane at a constant loss of why she couldn't move.

In the end, I kind of wished that Megan made him grovel a bit longer before forgiving him. But still an enjoyable read.

I've really enjoyed the paranormal world with wolves that Lauren Dane created in this series. I was especially excited for Megan's story. My only complaint is I wanted a longer story of Megan and Shane!

DNF

I couldn't get into this book at all. I tried and tried to like this one from Lauren Dane, but it just didn't click.

Unfortunately, I started at book 5 which didn’t help this book. I was lost on the secondary characters. I just couldn’t get into Shane and Megan. ARC provided by Netgalley and the publisher for a honest review.

Emotional and intense…

What happens if who you are, what you are, was denied your whole life? How do you embrace what you’ve long hidden? For good or bad, Shane has denied his wolf his entire life. He is a doctor, successful and pretty happy really. Finding his mate, Megan, was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, that was when things fell apart…

“This wolf of his wanted to be free, to be loved and she knew then, knew as she knew he was hers, their road would not be easy.”

Tolerance. Acceptance. These are lofty goals in this heart-squeezing romance. I hurt for both Shane and Megan as they tried to find a place of compromise where both could be loved and happy. Shane wasn’t a bad person but shaped by his parents to deny his heritage. Megan couldn’t accept that, couldn’t see it but anything but a betrayal of their relationship.

Intense and heated, this quick read revealed even more nuances in a shifter/human relationship. So, so good!

This is part of the Cascadia Wolves series. You may have seen it before under the title ‘Fated’. The series is about the Warden siblings as they kick ass and find love. Not necessarily in that order. The series is generally full of action and plenty of romance. Bonded Pair doesn’t have very much action, but it does a nice job of providing a mate for the last Warden sibling.

This story is focused on character development. Shane, a doctor who happens to be a werewolf, is in denial over his heritage. His parents don’t accept him and do all they can to suppress his true nature. Megan, the female Enforcer of the pack is bound and determined to get with Shane’s wolf.

If you like constant action, this may not be your favorite book in the series. But if you like a somewhat realistic view of how werewolves find a place for themselves in the pack, this is definitely worth the read. It’s also nice to finish out the series.

I enjoyed the story and the couple as well. I didn't feel especially connected to them or the romance but I still enjoyed the sex scenes and the steamy romance.I feel that the novel could have benefited from being a little bit longer and the readers connection to the characters a little more flushed out.I still enjoyed the read as well as the characters.

'Bonded Pair' by Lauren Dane is book Five in the "Cascadia Wolves" series. This is the story of Megan Warden and Shane Rosario. This book is a re-release of the book "Fated" with a new cover. In addition it is a quick read with about around 120 pages.
Megan is taking a road trip with her family and also along to guard them. But being trapped in a car with continue talk of marriage and babies makes it hard on this single women who has yet to meet her mate.
Shane is only attending the wedding because he was talked into it and a close personal friend will be there. Shane mother has denied him of his wolf family pretty much and kept him distant from that side. But he does understands the bonding code with you meet you mate.
So when he first sees Megan he feels something strong and Megan to feels the pull. But his mother and her ways does set to interfere in their budding relationship.

I liked this book but the editor needs to go back through there are a lot of mistakes with names and continuity from previous stories. I had never read her before so I decided to go an purchase the others in the series as well as the ones that are connected. I am sorry to say that as a whole they fell flat. The author should have had a book bible and if they did they did not use it. There where a lot of mistakes with previous characters names used when they were clearly taking about a different character. For me it was very obvious because I read them one after the other and in time sequence so I know what was going on. The author using the same names over again is just lazy...exp Ben and Sarah. It got confusing who they were talking about. Gina is another one. All the names out there and you can come up with different ones. There where characters in there that I kept thinking had their own books but I could not find them and felt I was missing something. This could have been an exceptional series but the ending to the whole thing was just boring. The cascadia wolves had no wrap up at all. Its just sad. Individually the cascadia wolves are by far the funniest and enjoyable. The series together are a mess.

A romance where the hero has to let go of the control over his life, to give into his true nature. Definitely a passionate story and an enjoyable read.

Lauren Dane does such a good job with her paranormal romances and I continue to be surprised and pleased. She does such a good job keeping you on your toes and making you want more. Not only that but her books are classy. In many ways but most of all its hard to find a paranormal romance that's not cheesy and unrealistic. Ms. Dane however is a master of her trade and a wonderful writer. Bonded Pair is a perfect reflection of this assessment. If she keeps writing I'll keep reading.

Great book! Lauren Dane writes an amazing book as always

I think this installment of the series is my favorite by far. I found myself crying more than once. I felt bad for Shane and Meaghan. Each had valid points, but of course, we are partial to the loving embrace of the Cascadia Pack.

This was an interesting story. I clearly needed to read the beginning of the series to understand some of what they were talking about but it was a good book. I will go back and read more of this series.

It doesn't take but one look and one smell to call the wolves of Megan and Shane to realize that they were mates for each other. That was the easy part. The hard part is breaking a lifetime of his training from a mother who was not understanding.

While they love each other very much, it may not be enough for them to make it. Will Shane be able to come to grips with the fact that it's ok to be a werewolf?

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I voluntarily read an advanced review copy of this book

There is something about this series that just draws me in and keeps me wanting more. Megan Warden has watched her family fall in love over and over, seen them bond and unite families. She knows the road can be rocky to finding a mate but if her family can overcome obstacles so can she right? Read and find out!

I love that these romances are never simple. I think this book drew me in emotionally because I felt Megan's pain, I felt that she wanted this romance...she wanted her time to fall in love but Shane wasn't making it easy. This was a very good tale of accepting who you are and learning to love every part of you....very good job Lauren Dane.

Lauren Dane is one of my favorite authors so for this book to be a 10 star read should've been expected.

What happens when an enforcer’s mate turns out to hate his wolf side? A complete angst fest, that’s what. It’s official, although I really love this series, I like the books with suspense and action more than the straight up romances. Not that I disliked Bonded Pair, but I’m a fast lane girl and books without suspense are like driving in the slow lane for me—occasionally okay if there is interesting scenery to look at, but that’s a rare occurrence where I live.

I’ve always loved Megan. She’s funny and witty so she cracks me up. The beginning of the book was freaking hilarious, especially when she was guzzling alcohol to get through some serious family time despite her werewolf metabolism preventing any chance of intoxication. I’ve been known to do the same but, thank goodness, I can get a buzz to dull the drama, LOL. That’s not to say having a super fast metabolism wouldn’t be awesome!

I did not like the fact that Megan got saddled with Shane as a mate. His human mother had raised him to be ashamed of his werewolf side. I wanted to throttle his dad for standing by and letting his mother screw with his head like that. Yes, Shane became Layla’s (Megan’s sister) anchor, but he’d mainly just been dipping his toe into the werewolf world and basically passing as a full human. He should never have mated with Megan knowing how he felt about werewolves in general.

What he put Megan through by expecting her to deny her werewolf side and come live with him just flew all over me. Plus, it took him way too much time to man up. Maybe if we’d had more time with them as a solid couple I would have felt differently about him, but I never got over my initial dislike.

I did enjoy spending time with the Cascadia family, and we had lots and lots of girl time which helped. Overall though, this book was somewhat of a disappointment especially since it’s the last of the Cascadia Wolves series. The series overall is one I’ve enjoyed and have no problem recommending despite my disappointment with Shane and the pace of this particular story.

Rating: 3 Life In The Slow Lane Stars

Megan was being driven crazy by her mother. Layla her sister was married and bred as was her other sister Tracy but Megan was a single werewolf shifter. Megan was the Enforcer of the Cascadia werewolf pack. Megan told her sister Tracy her life was really good except for her non- mate status. Things had gone good in werewolf politics in the two since Cade took over. National. No civil war, no drama. Megan was sure something would happen again it always would. But it had been some time since she’d had an actual vacation so it would be nice to to have leisure time. Megan had come with her family to attend her cousin Sherry’s wedding. Megan was getting her grandmother -Lia- settled in her hotel. Lia wasn’t ready for her granddaughter to leave right then. Her grandmother was getting something witchy in her head. They all made light of Lia’s little pronouncements but she was always right. Then Lia said big things for Megan she had a trial ahead and she didn’t know if the ending would be something Megan wanted or not. Lia told Megan it could be her mate she didn’t know. Layla was Megan’s sister and Shane was her anchor in the tri-bond. Shane was a doctor in Las Vegas and even though he was a werewolf he lived as a human, wasn’t part of a pack. Shane was raised to be suspicious of werewolves by his mother who had never made the change from human to werewolf. How hard it must have been to be raised by someone who hated what you were. Shane was doing fine in Las Vegas, he dated human woman and one day he would marry and then they would adopt children. He didn’t want to raise a child like he didn’t understand or want to accept. Shane saw Megan in a bar and didn’t realize who she was at first. But her elemental scent made his hormones set up and take notice. She smelled like honey and heady flowers. Megan felt Shane was off limits as he was Layla’s anchor. Funny how Megan had felt such a total connection to Shane. Shane also felt a ridiculous need to touch Megan. Then even though Shane lived outside he knew Megan was his mate.
Once again another great story that I loved. I loved this series!! Megan was a settled strong werewolf to mate with a werewolf who had turned his back on his wolf. What Shane’s parents had done to him especially his mother was just wrong and so sad. I was so glad he realized how empty his life really was before it was too late. I felt bad for all the pain Megan went through before things turned right. I loved the plot and how Megan’s family and friends stood by her. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I highly recommend.

This is my second book in this series and I can't say that I really enjoy this one.I was frustrated most of the time!Shane was sexy but I did not feel him as much as I wanted.
