Tyler Woods tends bar at the Wolf Den to fill his lonely nights, but he still hasn’t given up on finding a mate. He had his eye on Hunter, a pack enforcer, but his friend killed a pack mate and found sanctuary at the Colony, home of the vampires. The alpha calls Hunter a traitor and wants him back dead or alive, but Tyler doesn't believe it. He allows himself to be captured in order to find out the truth. Instead he’s thrown into a dungeon and branded a blood slave to a blonde-haired vampire who wants more than blood.
Peter Shaw is a turned vampire, living at the Colony. When Tyler is put in his care, his human side surfaces and pity turns to love. An unlikely alliance is forged, and the line between captor and captive blurs.
Note: This book was previously published with another publisher and has been extensively revised and expanded.
Peter and the Wolf (Symbiotic Mates #2) Reviews
-
I am sitting here at almost midnight trying to figure out how to put to words what I like about this book. I liked the first book in the series, a lot. I enjoyed the plot and the characters and when it was over I wanted to know more. What happened next? What new symptoms developed? Where were Hunter and Adrian going to hide? Would they be accepted by the vampires? Who was going to make the Alpha to pay for his treachery? Someone please kill him and replace him with someone smarter...and on and on. I had so many questions and I had to wait.
I didn't even read the cover before I cracked the pages (metaphorically speaking). The wolves track Hunter to the walled vampire city. The defenses are too good and wolves retreat with the exception of Tyler who allows himself to be captured so that he can help his friend Hunter clear his name. It was a foolish plan because Tyler is a dog in the eyes of the vampires. Dogs are inferior to vampires and if dogs are to stay with the vampires then they need to be collared and trained.
The half-breed, Peter, captured the dog and the Master has given Peter the responsibility of the wolf with sweet promises that appeal to Peter's need to be accept by the full blooded vampires.
Peter and Tyler's relationship is no bed of roses. I was rooting for Tyler to not give in. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Tyler is not pet! Crate Training? What the hell? Arrogant vampires!" And then the Master gets involved and then I felt bad because I had encouraged Tyler to hold out. Even as the relationship starts to take on the symbiotic qualities you can still feel the tension between them.
And there is Grace, the creepy (probably in my eyes only) 18 year old she-wolf who was crawling all over Hunter in book one like a cat in heat.
Then there is the Master...what is his game? I can't figure out what he's got up his sleeve because the moves he is making could be dangerous. If he doesn't like the result is he the type of person who will exterminate the people involve to stop the experiment? I think he is but now I have to wait like six weeks before I get answers to all my new questions.
Do I like this series? Hell ya, I can’t wait to see what happens next! -
I'm liking the series so far. I hope the Master and the Alpha get trapped and bonded while unconscious or something. Boy I hate both of them and they deserve to be in each others misery. I just hope they both get what they deserve by the time this is over. I don't even know what to say about his whole Grace being pregnant thing. It just doesn't sit well with me.

The potential here was great, and I've always been excited about reading pairings that come from captor/captive beginnings. Here, though, all of the frustrating things from the first novel - the flimsy plot, shallow characters, ridiculous scenes, mediocre sex - continues in the second, x.2. To such a point that really, I kept stopping every other page to ask myself, 'why am I reading this?'
Pretty sad, for a novel that's only a little over 100 pages. -
There is something off in this whole plot series, but I just don't know what. Anyway... the second book was okay, but idiotic, too!

Loved loved this book!!!!

This was so weird
The different packs were once again like cults.
Why the slavish devotion to the masters/leaders?
Peter and Tyler were both victims and they had my sympathy, but they never showed me any love for each other. The way Peter tried to protect Tyler is the way I would hope any human would help another person in distress, it did not make them mates.
Dubious sexual consent - ticks the ick box for me.
I find at this stage I don't give a damn about the series, will it become any better?
One star implies that it redeemed itself some how and I'm not sure it did that, but I did read it through without stopping so I will give it one star for sentences that flowed together coherently.
I want the characters to be smarter and to have some social graces, even some gallows humour would help. -
series not all M/M, so no thanks why bother... can't trust author not to mix m/f within her m/m stories.

1.5 Stars
This series has gone from bad to worse. -
This was a hard one to rate. It jumped around from 1 Star to 5 Stars - see below if you want to know why.
Overall, this is an entertaining and unique series about vampires and wolf shifters, which I really enjoyed. I read books 1-7, which are all that are out so far. I'm glad I already had them all because it was only through Book 7 that all the MC's were left without any main open issues. If you stop at Book #6 - then you would have a group of MC's still separated and I, personally, would have been pissed! I would have given it a 1 Star rating. I think it's a cheap way to force readers to buy the next book.
Each book was shorter than I thought it would be. Each book does have a complete love story with new main MC's that are sexy, unique and intriguing. There is also an overall story about their world being weaved through all the books that binds them together but does not ever finish. Sometimes, something happens to a couple MC's from a previous book and you need to read the next books to get resolution, otherwise it's a cliff hanger (and I HATE when that happens directly to the MC's). I can handle their "world" being in a state of change but all the MC's MUST be in either a HFN or HEA state at the end of the book.
In this case, reading through Book 7 works well and will go on my "to be read again" shelf. Not sure I'll go any further though - I'm leery about any of the MC's being left out to hang again. I'm an easy rater - usually 5 Stars means I will read it again because it was entertaining and I rarely give less than that because I read for pure entertainment. -
Not as good as the first one. The vampire Master is worse than the Alpha. There was too much sex for my taste, not to mention they got to that stage way too fast. As for the guys... The stage transitions in their relationship just weren't smooth enough and that made it less believable.
-
nice but not really overwhelming. and it ended abruptly.
-
**3-3.5** Didn't get as hooked into this one as the first one. I think I just preferred the MCs in the other book.

3.75 Stars

If the author has focused on the romantic thread and not the ideology gave moonlighted would read it.
2.5 *
