This is a review for Saving His Mate, the fourth instalment of the Crescent Moon series and if you're a fan of the authors shifter stories then you are in for a surprise. Ms Stuart ( pseudonym for Katie Reus) has raised her game and the hero of this short tale is Rex a vampire !Rex is a bounty hunter and tracks down rogue vampires . He's spent quite a lot of time recently in Grants territory and the alpha wolf surprises him with an offer to become part of his pack. Rex is flattered but whilst considering his options meets the woman of his dreams. Margery just has to walk into the room and Rex is beyond smitten as Margery is meant to be his mate! Slight problem though as Margery has good reason to fear vampires but the appealing Rex is always up for a challenge !Rex sets out to woo the lovely shifter Margery but the job Rex has been doing is about to bite him where it hurts! Not everyone agrees with him helping to police the vampire world and suddenly he's vulnerable and that vulnerability has a name, it's Margery! Rex is not going to lose her especially when he's not even tasted her yet! Margery may be in danger but woe betide anyone who gets between Rex and his female because this boy bites back!I love this authors shifter tales although I always wish they were longer. Rex,what can I say about that mean vampire ? He's been a loner for a long time but shows no hesitation in his pursuit of Margery and I absolutely loved the way he just powers in, rolls up his sleeves and gets stuck in! This is one guy who clearly won't take no for an answer and Margery is a very lucky lady! As for Margery her earlier life  experiences  of vampires could well poison any hopes of a happy ending with Rex but there's one thing for sure Margery is not a quitter . She's always been quite motherly to her pack members and is perceived as part of the backbone of the pack so she deserves a little excitement in her life. Unfortunately Margery gets a little more then she had bargained for but with Rex in the picture I don't think many sane women would complain.This had a delicious fast pace and a great sense if immediacy to it. No waiting around for something to happen with this book! It would be all too easy for the heroine Margery to be whiney or pathetic because of her previous experience but she's a survivor. She's not the cocky tough sort though and I really liked her. Ms Stuart has a way of dragging the reader in and it's a fantastic world she writes about. These extremely likeable characters took me on a journey filled with action and romance. Loved the determined and protective Rex and really felt for Margery who had to overcome her instincts. This was great fun to read and I heartily recommend this authors work.I thought about rating a four as I wanted a longer read but trust me Rex deserves a five so a five it is!
