Mating Instinct

A newly turned werewolf and a centuries-old shifter enforcer mend their broken relationship amid a plot to escalate war between humans and shifters in this sexy but hollow third Moon Shifter paranormal (after Primal Possession). Werewolf Jayce Kazan refused to mate-bond with human Kat Saburova, knowing it would make her a target for all his enemies. Kat walked out on him, but after she was captured and tortured by antishifter terrorists, another shifter turned her into a werewolf to save her life. Now that she and Jayce are packmates, Jayce’s possessive nature and Kat’s desire crank up to full force. Though the continuing antagonism between the antishifter group and the werewolves is central to moving the story forward, the mystery takes a back seat to the lust—and growing love—between the broken-hearted exes. Those familiar with the series will be glad to see the world further developed. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. (Mar.)
