Title: A Taste For A MateSeries: Redwood Pack Book 2Author: Carrie Ann RyanPublisher: Fated Desires Publishing LLCPublished: 1-30-2012Pages: 211E-Book ASIN B0073WA12KGenre: Romance, Paranormal, ShapeshiftersJasper Jamenson, Beta for the Redwood Pack, has finally worked up the courage to ask his mate for a date.  There are two problems with this though, Willow Delton a human, doesn't know she' his mate and has never heard of werewolves outside of movies and fictional books.  After agreeing to attend the local art show Jasper leaves never knowing he has lead a rival pack straight to Willlow's door, literally.  They followed his scent to the the bakery and smelled Jasper's scent on Willow, letting them know she is special to Jasper.  To lure Jasper to the Central Pack land to kill him they kidnap Willow where Corbin the heir to the Alpha and the Alpha beat her and let her know she will die as soon as they have Jasper.The Central Pack devalues all women, feels human have no other use than to be slaves and toys to be tortured for fun and killed.  The Alpha sacrifices his own daughter and niece in a sacrificial ceremony to call forth a demon to aide them in their war against the Redwood Pack, the strongest of all the werewolf packs in the world.  The desire of the Central Pack Alpha Hector and his only son Corbin is to decimate the Redwood Pack and either kill or enslave all humans.  With the demon on their side they begin their strategy with the kidnapping of Willow.My only fault with this book is also the most endearing.  As beta of the Redwood Pack Jasper should be more assertive in his actions in claiming his mate.  Yet he seems rather wishy washy at times, always second guessing himself.  On the flip side this same trait shows that love has him all a sea where he is usually so straight forward and directed.  Unfortunately Willow misunderstands Jasper when he carelessly says something putting Willow in danger.  Will the love they share survive?  Betrayal from an unexpected quarter brings danger and death to the Redwood Packs own land.  Who will pay the price for that betrayal?  Will the Redwood pack survive?  Read book two to find the answers?This book could be read as a stand alone but it is much better if read after book one.  Luckily for you Ms. Ryan has both books combines and offered as a single volume, but it doesn't stop there book three, Trinity bound is calling to you when you finish A Taste For A Mate. Be prepared to lay siege to this series and read it again and again.
