Title: Alpha's Mate - Fabian Garoux Book 3
Author: Eve Langlais
Publisher: St Martin's Press
Date of Publishing: January 30, 2018

This book given to me by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for my honest review.

Alpha of the local wolf pack with a small contingent of cat shifters, Fabian jumps into the murky waters to save the tied up woman thrown in by two goons. Saving her is only the beginning. It seems the woman has lost her memory and does not know who is trying to kill her or why. When he gets a good whiff of his beautiful "Vixen" it seems Fabian has found his mate. He is not ready to give up his care free days just yet. Then Vixen takes off and the wolf is ready for the chase. Soon Vixen is sure she is in a nightmare. Men turning into bears and wolves. The world has gone crazy or she has. 

Fabian gets carried away and claims Vixen. Determined to find the threat to his mate and remove it permanently. Vivian exerts her independence and shows the reader that not all female mates are are meek and mild. With thrills and suspense in abundance from the start to the climactic. Fun quick read with strong well rounded characters and an absorbing plot. 

I gave "Alpha's Mate" a 4.5 out of a total of 5 stars.

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.

Alpha's Mate by Eve Langlais is book Three in the Fabian Garoux series.  This is the story of Vivienne and Fabian.  I haven't yet read the the other books in this series but enjoyed this enough that I want too. 
This book opens to Vivienne being kidnapped and dumped into a river to die but Fabian happens upon them and saves her from drowning.  But Vivienne has amnesia doesn't know who she is...but she does have a personality that is funny. Fabian is funny too trying to fight his feelings that she is his mate. But looses in the end and does all he can to protect her.

Is she evil or something? Who has more than one person who would kill you?

Haha, I've never heard of someone slapping their own hand away!

He hates cops but has friends in law enforcement?

I guess it's only fair that she interrogate the woman.

Surprise twist.

Ohh, good ending.

What a fun ride! Another great story by a fun author. Love the snarky comebacks, and hot romance that is usually found in this series, and this one is no exception. When Fabian jumps into the water to save the woman they are trying to kill the adventure begins. She doesn't remember who she is, so Fabian tries to help her and protect her from whoever is trying to kill her. A lot of wolves, bears and even a cranky lion or two make for an interesting mix of characters. Highly recommend if you want a fun and light read. Good book and author.

She was about to be killed. He stepped in to save her.   She had no memory.  He was a Lycan. He found his mate.  He is trying to protect her before it starts a Turf war.  It was filled with hot sex.  I will definitely read more of her books.

This was a sassy and cute read. We have a woman with amnesia, but she does remember how to put a 
man in his place. We have a man who is used to everyone kowtowing to him and trying to ignore his fated mate. Despite him resisting, everytime he turns around, he is claiming her, and marking her, and flirting with her, and, and, you get the picture

These two are well suited for each other, because I don't think anybody else would put up with them! Good thing, because they are perfect together, and their sarcasm match exactly

Even though this book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed this shifter story and will go back and read the others.

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I have to say that I almost always enjoy her books, and this was no different.  A fun, quick read with humor and twists in the plots!  Never a dull moment in these books.  Paranormal romance readers will love this.  I give it 4.5 stars.

Dramatic opening with a kidnapped women facing death! Vicious bad guys! Who is this women and why has fate bestowed a hero to the rescue?  Quick shifter read that stands alone even though this a part of a series.  Eve Langlais proves her skill at molding alpha characters that have erotic results.  "A copy of this book was provided by St.Martin's Press via Netgalley with no requirements for a review.  Comments here are my honest opinion."

I loved it.  It was awesome.  Can't wait till the next one.

What do you do, when you meet your mate. You rescue her of course. Fabian saves a damsel in distress from drowning. Only to discover that, she is more to you then that. This story is a fast read and I read it in one sitting. And if you like to read about alpha male and his mate then this book is for you.

I was given this book from netgalley, to give a honest review. But it’s my own opinion and nobody els.

Fabian gets offensive at times, “I do not mope ,” he grumbled, shooting her a dark look over his shoulder. “I brood.” Fabian is mot one for interruptions, “This better be effing important,” Fabian snapped as he righted himself, his eyes again emitting that odd golden glow." I loved this book, it had so much humor.
