This short story hadn't been for me. I know this author and that her females are usually feisty, but here she was so irritating that I couldn't make myself like her. She destroyed that story for me. Unfortunately Fabian also wasn't that well-written - just sex and mating was on his mind...

I got my hands on another Eve Langlais early release...Well, not quite. This one actually released in an anthology a little while ago and is now being released on it's own. It deserves it's own release party though. Although too short in my opinion it delivered on all the things I love from Eve; sex, romance, suspense, and a dash of comedy.

Fabian is a little older than many of Eve's other heroes, but being an Alpha sometimes takes time to build the reputation that Fabian certainly deserves as the Alpha Wolf. When he happens upon a woman with no memory, he is truly in a quagmire of deep self reflection as his wolf decides she's the one. Fabian doesn't go down without a fight against his wolf nature, but he does go down faster than "Vixen." I don't want to give any spoilers, so we'll just use Fabian's nickname for our heroine.

Vixen on the other hand fights mother nature like she's caught in a leg trap. Oh, and she loves Fido references that get the hackles up on Fabian. Her personality is super evident in how she handles Fabian. She is a take charge, no nonsense kind of heroine and when you discover her full story at the end, it is right on track with how you see her. Since it's a short story, losing her memory allows her to drop her inhibitions and just let nature takes its course in their relationship building.

The ending delves into the next story in the series, which I might add sounds good, funny, and steamy as well. So pick this one up and delve into the Their Furever Mates series for a little romantic crush. I'm giving this a 4 of 5 propellers because I'd have liked it to be a little longer and the ending was a little rushed, although not lacking in details. I'm hoping we get more of the back story on "Vixen's" family in the next novel. I'll definitely be looking for it, but it looks like there may be a significant wait as she doesn't have the next installment listed on her site.

Eve, I like this series as much as the A Lion's Pride series and can't wait to see more. Thanks for letting me have an early read.

This story was awesome I love the feisty heroines! This one bumped her nugget though when she was kidnapped o has no idea why she's being targeted. And she's also thrown in the river on werewolf alpha Fabian's territory. What makes matters worse is Vixen as he calls her is his mate, but she's got way more on her plate like hoping not to be killed and figuring out who she is before she really cares about mates. I loved this cute novella shifter book!

I was able to read Alpha's Mate and I have to say I truly enjoyed it. Alpha's Mate has a well developed storyline and strong characters. I especially enjoyed having an equally dominant female character who didn't have the shifter gene to back up her strength/smart mouth. Sexual chemistry dominated this book from the start. the characters worked well together and for a shorter book, I personally didn't think it felt rush. The story played out nicely and I liked having a bit of mystery with the who done it added in.
I will say it started off a bit differently than most of the books I have read yet it captured my interest immediately. Having a 'villain' as the good guy was a nice twist, although I wouldn't consider him a villain but I'll leave that for you to decide.
The plot centers around "Vixen" and Fabian. I don't want to give any spoiler so I'll leave her name as Vixen. You'll have to read to unravel the mystery of Vixen. We don't know much about her in the beginning except she is intelligent, smart mouthed and being kidnapped/downed for money. Talk about starting off with a bang! She is thrown into the water with her hand/feet bound, her future isn't looking to bright until she is rescued by our hero/villain who witnesses the entire ordeal.
Fabian isn't what you'd call a hero but something about her called to him and he was unable to ignore his inner beast. Fabian is the local Alpha and rules his pack with an iron fist, not saying he is unfair or cruel just wants order and respect for those under him. He isn't use to people talking back or females not throwing themselves after him to gain the rank of Mate.
Fabian and Vixen will have to work together to help her regain her lost memories and find out who is she and more importantly why someone would want her dead. Will they be able to survive each other? Fabian's need for order/structure and Vixen's stubborn personality will test the limits for both of them.

Eve Langlais is an amazing author whose books keeps you gripped from the very first chapter !
This book was no exception.
Absolutely loved it

Fabian is the Alpha of wolf shifters. He finds a woman drowning and rescues her, as her captors shoot at them. She has amnesia and is unable to tell who she is and why they want her dead. He continues to attempt to keep her safe and is drawn to her as he has never been to another. She has grit and determination which makes her perfect for him. Unfortunately, she continues to be in danger. This book has comedic spots and is full of passion. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Alpha's Mate is a fun romp in an ugly world. Someone is trying to kill a woman in Fabian’s territory. This cannot be tolerated if anyone does any killing it is going to be Fabian. When he finally rescues the woman she has amnesia and he has found his mate. Neither is a happy camper.
It takes a strong woman to deal with Fabian and even with amnesia his future mate keeps Fabian on his toes. I love these two together. They would crush anyone else. I will say that Fred the manservant really made the book for me.
NOTE: The Alpha's Mate was previously released in The Hunger Anthology

The Alpha’s Mate is fast, fun and full of sizzle.

Vivienne is kidnapped by two bumbling idiots and they just might be the death of her until Fabian, the alpha wolf shifter, rescues her from drowning and takes her back to his pack. Jumping from the frying pan into fire, Vivienne ignites Fabian’s hunting instincts when she runs from him. To top it off Vivienne can’t remember anything. Both Vivienne and Fabian quickly realize that Vivienne is much safer under his watch because there is someone out there that really wants Vivienne dead.

Lots of sexual chemistry but not a lot of developed romance. A shorter read, so it is perfect for those who enjoy easy, entertaining novellas with a heated shifter romance.

Fabian is never going to settle down or allow a woman to collar him. As the alpha wolf of his pack he’s got a reputation to uphold and it’s a lot of work being the bad guy. When he rescues Vixen from the river after she was tied up and tossed in to drown, he realizes pretty quickly that she’s his mate.

This is a fast, fun, humor filled read that has a little meat on its bones. Not my favorite by this author but still highly enjoyable.

This is an honest review of an advanced copy provided by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.

I used to really like Eve Langlais’ books, but I have not cared much for the last few I have read. This one is no exception. It started in the middle of a kidnapping which makes it a bit confusing and hard to get into from the start.

This was my first read from Eve Langlais and I was not at all disappointed. It was suspenseful with just the right amount of satisfaction at the end. I love paranormal romances and this one was of the best I have read. I now need to dive into the other books she has written.

The description didn't do it justice! Her books make me laugh out loud and want my man!

Three and a half
Having read the other short stories in this series I'm over the moon to finally get Fabians very own story. It starts with a woman who has been kidnapped and her two somewhat bumbling kidnappers who are trying to kill her. No explanations as to why or even indeed who she is as she hits her head and loses her memory. Now luckily local bad ass and Wolf Alpha Fabian hears the commotion and jumps in the river to save her. Ok saving damsels in distress might not be the norm for Fabian but when he realises his mystery woman is his Mate there's no way he's letting her go no matter how hard she tries to leave !
Perhaps not as full as laugh out loud moments as other stories by this author but nevertheless I thought the couple suited each other. Our heroine constantly challenged Fabian which led to interesting banter. This pair have chemistry in spades and not a shrinking violet in sight ! Plus I will never look at a tattoo gun the same way again but my lips are sealed. Perhaps the big reveal at the end could have been expanded but nevertheless I enjoyed my afternoon reading this.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair.

This was a fun read. Woman gets kidnapped, bonked on the head, thrown in the river, shot at, rescued by a stranger. She has amnesia, and has attitude. Her rescuer is a werewolf, but she doesn't figure that out for awhile. In typical alpha manner, her recognizes that she is his mate, tells her she can't leave the room, she escapes and steals his car. I loved that part. He chases after her, they get shot at and escape again. There is more drama, good sex, and threats to her life again. They finally capture one of her attackers alive, but are interrupted by a visitor. Things go downhill from there but in a funny way. It's a good quick story that makes you laugh. Strong male, strong female characters.

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

Eve Langlais is a master writer! I love her work! The characters and storyline are always well-developed. When you want or need a good laugh, eve Langlais always delivers. Fabian stumbles upon some thugs tossing a woman into the river. He jumps in to save her, and takes her to his mansion to get dry. He finds out that she has lost her memory,  and starts calling her Vixen. His wolf recognizes her as his mate. She sneaks out and is stopped by the thugs who tossed her into the river.  Fabian catches up to her and saves her from the thugs. On the road home, they get shot at and she finds out that he is a werewolf. The book has so much humor and action that I hated when it ended. I wanted more! I recommend this series to everyone. I give Alpha's Mate 5/5 stars.

A quick read. I have read several books by this author and so I expect a "feisty" female who is able to give as good as she gets. But there is a fine line between feisty and obnoxiously rude, this is an obnoxiously rude female. I just couldn't stand Viv, should have let her drown then maybe he could have found someone I actually wanted to read about. If you make me despise the main character in the first chapter there will be no redeeming her, had to force myself to finish. Also Fabian had the least alpha, masculine thoughts I have ever read.

Great story!

Funny, sexy and suspenseful!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

This was a pretty interesting read. I love shifter books and wished their would have been more shifting involved, but otherwise nice storyline.

Eve Langlais is one of the premier paranormal authors out there and she doesn't fail on this one either. Good well-rounded characters and a love story mixed in.
