In Hunter's Moon (Moon #2) by Lisa Kessler, Wolf Aren has every reason to hate Sasha. The jaguar shifter tried to kill both him and his twin brother, Adam, to get to Adam's mate, Lana. The problem is that Sasha is Aren's one and only mate. He curses fate for bringing him someone he can't trust and wonders if he's doomed to live alone craving a woman who doesn't want him.'Without a drop of make-up on, weapons at the ready at all times, she was hands down the sexiest woman I'd ever known.'Aren and Sasha find themselves on the same side of the fight for a change when Nero becomes a bigger threat to them both. Aren takes the opportunity to learn more about his mate and to try to convince her that they could work through their issues and form a relationship. But will the sassy former detective listen to a word he says?"I'm damaged goods," she whispered against my chest. "I can't be what you need. I'm terrified of making another mistake. The last time I thought someone cared, he stole my life from me."Sasha has no idea why she is drawn to green-eyed wolf Aren, but she can't bring herself to harm him anymore. That is, until he starts his delusional talk of 'mates' and 'forever'. She's tried love before and it ruined her life and came back to bite her. Literally. But Sasha can't seem to get away from Aren, especially when he can help her get back at Nero and what they have done to her life and career."I love this car."Aren turned my way, and the smile on his face reached all the way inside of me to touch places I thought had died years ago.A dash of fear mingled with the adrenaline.I could love a lot more than his car.'Hunter's Moon is an intense and passionate new paranormal by Lisa Kessler. Book two in the Moon series picks up where Moonlight (book one) left off but includes a lot of the backstory, so it can definitely be read as a standalone.I thought the pacing of the plot was perfect, with just enough romance and action/fight scenes to keep the reader interested. And the characters. Wow! I fell in love with both Aren and Sasha. They both had personal struggles that made it difficult for them to trust others, but I could feel their longing to be together even in the face of their situation. Aren and Sasha were also both very easy to relate to. They love their family and will protect them at all costs and they are both good people underneath all the choices they must make.I hope you get a chance to read Hunter's Moon. Especially if you are a fan of an action-packed, sexy Paranormal story...it's highly recommended.
