Carter, a werewolf shifter, and Lauren, a newly turned vampire, seem like an unlikely couple but they are destined to be mates. Carter is tasked with bringing Lauren back to her abusive vampire maker but when he meets her he realizes that he can't let her go. The bond between these two is red hot and the romance off the charts. Loved it!

The second book in this series - it can be read as a standalone but reading the first would set the main players in context .

Lauren is soon in deep waters - the witch she meets is not all she seems and Carter soon rushes in to rescue her .
The chemistry between them is explosive , their attraction instant - THEY ARE MATES - but both are keeping secrets , which will come back to haunt them .
Carter must trust his old Alpha with their safety as Lauren's Maker is determined to have her back in his hands at all costs - EVEN WAR between shifters and vampires .

I enjoyed this book with one exception - Lauren's attitude , she is a bit of a martyr and too gullible . I look forward to the next in this series and the expansion of the relationship between shifter mates and vampires .

Carter has a big sweet side, “it’s okay. I’ll be right here. You’re safe.” His lips pressed to her temple. “From now on, you’ll always be safe. I swear it.” Sometimes when Lauren asks a question she gets more than she bargained for, "he unlocked his jaw. “To be brutally honest, step one was to eff you.” Lauren sometimes has to give her man a helping hand, “I’ll take care of the jeans,” she said as she pulled her head back. “Though I’m sure you could rip those away, too.” She rose off him. Stood by the side of the bed. His damn claws were out . His beast was hungry for her." I liked this book, I loved Carter.

I am unable to download the book to my computer kindle app. I leave reviews at Amazon and Goodreads. Please consider giving me an ePub copy or a PDF file to read. I will be more than happy to read and review. Several years ago, I reviewed many of your books through NetGalley.

I must leave stars for this to go through so the stars are for the cover.

Lauren thinks she can return to human and is told if she doesn't kill before the month is up, she'll be a human again but she'll lose Carter. Will she stay a vamp forever or will sho choose to be human again?
Awesome story. Loved the storyline and characters. Plenty of surprises. Secrets. Lies. Sex. Can't wait for the next one.

Loved this story. Carter running away from his pack and ends up searching for a new vampire. Lauren ends up being his mate. A must read.

'Mating Bite' by Cynthia Eden is Book Two in the "Bite" series. This is the story of Carter Sinclair and Lauren McIntosh. This can be a standalone book if you choose to do so.
Carter is a Werewolf who's pack leader mated with a Vampire named Isabella. When Isabella and he were being attacked and he was injured Isabella gave him some of her Vampire Blood. Vampire blood to a wolf that isn't your mate makes you crave Vampire Blood which now Carter has fallen victim to.
Note: this portion of Carter life was in the previous book and this one picks up with Carter leaving the pack because he didn't want the other members to know how much he craved Vampire blood and was also scared he might try to hurt Isabella. But he is contacted by Isabella's cousin, Antoine who is not a good Vampire to find his missing "mate' and in exchange he will see that he gets all the Vampire blood he needs. But when Carter goes to find Lauren who is a newly turned Vampire (by Antoine) she is on the run from him. Carter who deceives her into thinking he is trying to help her get away from Antoine quickly learns that she is his mate and he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
"My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

Werewolf Carter has a clear mission, to search for and return a missing vampire lady to her sire. He didn´t count on how he´d react to the woman in question..
Lauren´s worst nightmare happened when the man she was falling for turned out to be a vampire out for her blood. Not one to stick around and join in killings, she sets out on her own to find a way back to humanity. When Carter comes along saving her, she can´t believe her luck. And Carter has secrets..
Can a vampire and werewolf mix, and find a happily ever after?
PNR romance, action and smutty fluff in an awesome combo. Love it!

Hot on the heels of Forbidden Bite which was meant to be a one-off, comes Mating Bite. Eden's paranormals are very good, usually just that little bit different which make them some of the more awesome to read. Mating Bite is a little too close to Forbidden Bite in terms of overall plot to be truly special.

But, that said, I did enjoy Carter and Lauren's story and the introduction of some new people into this world. Carter was saved by Isabella in Forbidden Bite but now he has a problem and he's abandoned his pack. So now he is tracking down a newly made vamp, Lauren. Lauren's got a bit of a one-track mind and she isn't nearly as fleshed out as Carter. But overall, this is a more plot driven book.

Riley, on the other hand, had better be getting a book. And the Dealer was an interesting character as well. Overall, a good book but not a stand out.

There are good things about the story. A different take on Vampire/Werewolf/Human relations then usual. You don’t usually see an “out” clause for a vampire to become human again.

Lauren as a character was a little annoying. She gets killed by the guy she was dating and turned into a vampire. She runs from him. Yet when she runs into Carter she is very quick to trust him, especially when she finds out he is a werewolf.

Carter isn’t a good guy in the beginning and if he hadn’t found out Lauren was his mate, I’m not so sure he wouldn’t have turned her over.

Exciting fast pace read. Loved the characters especially Carter wolf shifter, strong sexy, dangerous. He was the perfect book boyfriend for the few hours we were together. Lauren was sweet and honest, and did everything to hold on to her humanity. No complaints about this one.

Book two in this series and it's still a storyline that revolves around the forbidden biting by werewolves of vampires. Werewolf Carter has seen firsthand that for a favoured few it can work out but for him the lifesaving blood of his alphas vampire mate had disastrous consequences leaving him addicted to vampire blood. It's ok though as he's taken a job hunting down a missing vampire and he's been promised all the blood he needs. Slight problem though as not only is his prey gorgeous but it just so happens that Lauren is his mate! What a pretty pickle to be in, wanting to protect Lauren but not letting her know just why he has really been chasing her!
I've got to hand it to this author she always delivers incredibly imaginative and steamy paranormal stories. Ok yes this book is slightly shorter than some she's written but there's still plenty of unique and interesting ideas going on. The idea of the different species not sharing blood is a new one to me but it's fleshed out here with very intriguing possibilities setting up. Plus this time not only do we get hot protective werewolves crossing swords ( or should that be fangs ) with incredibly fast vampires but witches too are thrown into the mix and I'm curious to see how that pans out as the series continues.
If it's chemistry that floats your boat than this couple will tick all your boxes plus there's a very nasty vampire to boo and hiss at. I liked that characters from the first book Forbidden Bite showed up and yes we are introduced to new ones who surely must get their own books. Bottom line is I enjoyed this story but there's a cautionary tale here as not telling the truth can cause all sorts of problems!
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

4 - "Life and death are full of surprises..." Stars!

Book two in the Bite series brings us Werewolf; Carter Sinclair’s story.

IMAGE.

Having been involved in the previous book, and knowing what happened to him in the latter stages I was interested to see what adventure the author would give him.

"Just be glad I saved your ass…"

And although the theme of the story is similar to what happened in the first book, in that the romance is thought of as taboo in the paranormal world the author has created, she also introduced a few new secondary characters that makes me think this is a series that’s got at least a couple more books to come from it.

"I don’t like secrets."

This makes me happy, Cynthia Eden’s paranormal offerings are always an enjoyable reading diversion from everyday life, and Carter and Lauren’s story was no different. Alpha male/Werewolf rescues newly turned Sassy Vampire, and what he initially though was a grab and deliver turns into so much more when the mating bond burns bright between them.

"I’ll make her mine…"

But a Werewolf and a Vampire mating is not the sociably acceptable norm, and could potentially cause all-out war. Secrets and lies, love and loss, this book had a little bit of everything.

"You make me want to be more..."

I really enjoyed it, which was expected, and I really hope that the author has a few more stories on her schedule in the coming months.

A powerful, addicting, all-consuming paranormal romance that left me WANTING another bite out of Mating Bite! I powered through Mating Bite because it was. So. Freaking. Amazing. Carter is EXACTLY the kind of hero I have dreams about and Lauren, her innocence, beauty, smarts, and trust in Carter is BEAUTIFUL! These two have an all-consuming, sizzling chemistry that is OFF THE CHARTS HOTTTTTT! Seriously, I DEVOURED Mating Bite in less than a day because I just COULDN'T STOP READING!

Cynthia Eden has AGAIN created a story that just appeals to me in EVERY way. Her characters are sexy, dangerous, and likable while the story intensifies and call forth many emotions. Her paranormal romances just can't be denied and Mating Bite is MY NEW FAVORITE!

Mating Bite gets an IRRESISTIBLE FIVE SHOOTING STARS! You surely will love every bite and bit of this incredible romance!
