Carol's Mate is the latest edition to Zena Wynn's True Mates Series. However, this story is more of a prequel to the first book and tells the story of Mark and Carol Johnson's relationship. The story is beautifully crafted around a Christmas celebration with both Mark and Carol remembering their first meeting and the events that followed. Carol and Mark each take a part in the retelling of how they were mated

Tameka's Smile

# of pages or word count: 215 pages

Paranormal shapeshifter interracial erotic romance

Heat rating: 4 Novas

A True Mates novel.

Deputy Chadleigh Wilson, former lone wolf and new to the Raven pack, was raised among humans in foster care. He doesn't know anything about true mates, but one smile from Tameka Jones and he knows he has to have her. He'll do anything to claim her. Once she's his, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Tameka Jones is baffled by her response to the handsome deputy. She came to Refuge to simplify her life. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by people who think they're werewolves, of all things, and now her dead grandmother is talking to her.

But Chad's not the only person interested in Tameka. Someone wants her land and is willing to do anything -- even kill -- to get it.

Review: Sep 15, 2010
Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance
What starts out as a cop-fantasy realized, quickly develops into an almost completely shifter eros novel in Zena Wynn’s “Tameka’s Smile”. That was my initial, blurb-like thought on completing this novel. The story line surrounds new resident and BBW (i.e. Bodacious Black Woman), Tameka Jones, and cop/ “wolf-shifter” Chad Wilson as they steam up just about every locale whil

Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance
When Shannon McFelan proves to be difficult in finding a mate, her brother sets up a hunt to force her into taking the one that can subdue her. When she proves to be too much of an Alpha-Female by besting his seconds in a fight, the only way her brother can think of to find her a mate is to force her into Raven territory, they are the neighboring pack. He is hoping one of them is strong enough to do

True Mates 2: Mary & the Bear
Mary Elizabeth’s life is spiraling out of control. Her twin sister, Babs, was killed in an automobile accident. Her bereaved brother-in-law has decided now is a good time to renew their college romance and her healthy, domineering mother is demanding that she move back home and slave, ah, make that care for her. What’s a woman to do? Get the heck out of Dodge! She jumps on the promotion offered by best friend, Kiesha Morgan, and moves to Refuge, NC. The last thing she wants or needs is a man. She’s got enough going on in her life.
 
Hugh Mosely owns and operates Refuge’s only eating establishment. As a favor to Alex Morgan, good friend and alpha of the Raven Pack, he agrees to rent the empty apartment above his diner to Mary Elizabeth and keep an eye on her. Hugh is also a were-bear who's actively searching for a mate, a she-bear he can breed with and continue his nearly extinct species. Despite his nearly overwhelming, instant attraction to Mary Elizabeth, he has no interest in human females.
 
Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?) for them, the true mate bond doesn’t care about personal agendas.  Watch as they both get caught up in the Mating Fever and try to fight their way out.
