Claiming His Mate is a short, quick read but packs a lot into the story. Savannah writes great characters and writing shifter stories is one of her strengths. The characters in her stories are very real and you almost forget that people can't really shift into wolf or jaguar. She is an excellent story teller.In Claiming His Mate, Max and Lauren meet for the second time as Lauren breaks into Max's alpha's house to steal back some jewels that have been in her pride for a long time. Things could go many ways but Max takes the smartest approach and that is to keep her close in hopes of being able to get close to her. It doesn't take Lauren long to realize that Max is her mate even if she doesn't want to believe it. After all she is jaguar and he is a wolf. It goes against the norm. They try hard to fight their natural instincts and that's always fun to read about!If you have read Katie Reus's Nocturne Cravings, this one is very similar in length. Claiming His Mate seems to have a little more suspense in it and I think that kept me engaged in the story. I will admit that Katie's Cravings sometimes have a little too much sex in them for my taste in such a short story, but Claiming His Mate is balanced well in my opinion (and I know some hot sex is expected since she is writing as Savannah). I am always willing to read Katie or Savannah's stories, because I know I will get quality writing. If you are looking for a quick, hot, paranormal read with great characters, I recommend you try Claiming His Mate!
