ARC REVIEW Wolf's Mate by Celia Kyle

First book in Celia Kyle's new series Shifter Rogues, Wolf's Mate is a paranormal romantic suspense. I really liked the premise of the book but I did have some issues with it. It kind of just threw you into the story, the guys a have been a team for a while and you can tell, with how it just throws you in it almost feels like you're missing something in the story. I wasn't as emotionally involved with the characters as I normally like, and it took a while for me to really get a feel for the secondary characters. But by the end of the book enough had happened that I really do want to find out what happens next.

Declan Reed knows his wolf has a dark side, a dangerous side he's given into it and as a way to channel it he joined the Shifter Operation Command, SHOC, a clandestine group that does the dirty work for the shifter's council. The mission they are on now it purely information seeking only to find out if the company, FosCo, has any link to the anti-shifter group, Unified Humanity. Declan gets sidetracked when an accountant doing audits finds something she's not suppose to.

Abby Carter's accountant company was hired to do the audits for a big corporation, while she was there she dug where she wasn't suppose to and found evidence that FosCo is financially supporting the anti-shifter organization that she suspects murdered her family. Working quickly she manages to copy everything onto her tablet before the FosCo president and his UH armed thugs find her and try to kill her, luckily before they can do any real damage another guy shows up and rescues her. Abby in a panic of not knowing who she can trust runs for it but not before getting shot. Declan catches up with her finally but not before she hides the tablet.  

Abby is in a shit load of trouble now not only because the UH is after her but now the head of SHOC wants her in his custody to question her about what she knows and if she's involved. Declan knows what than means and it's nothing good so he goes AWOL and takes her with him. Everything about Abby calls to Declan, he needs to protect her at all costs even if it means doing it alone, lucky for him his team agrees with him that the director of SHOC doesn't need Abby just her tablet. But nothing is what it seems and sometimes you shouldn't trust the person closest to you.

Overall, by the end the book really had me into it, aside from one or two slow parts and it being a little predictable it was an exciting book.
