- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Claiming His Mate (Black Hills Wolves #5) by M. LimogesBlack Hills Pack member, Jace Matthews, is sent on a mission to investigate, Michelle Sanders, the new owner of the land next to their packs and is surprised to discover the human is his mate.I think Michelle is brave for uprooting herself for a fresh start in a new town. I thought it was funny that Michelle thought Jace was gay after accidentally seeing him and Stephen naked together after they shifted. I guess it would be a totally logical conclusion. I like that Jace was smart enough to realize that the wolf way would not be appropriate with Michelle, and he would need to take his time with her.I enjoyed the plot. I thought the inclusion of the hunters was a good twist to keep the story interesting. Claiming His Mate is a well-done short story that is easy to read in one sitting. Despite it short length the story feels complete, offering a lot of information and excitement. Complimentary copy provided publisher via manicreaders.com in exchange for an honest review.

Chapter One
Jace Matthews’ eyes followed the rhythmic sway of his mate’s heart-shaped ass as she walked up the aisle to the sales counter. Damn, he couldn’t wait to strip her bare and sink his teeth into that tender flesh. Suddenly, those tempting globes stopped. He blinked and his gaze shot up to find Michelle frowning over her shoulder at him.
Shit.
Embarrassed she’d caught him staring, he snatched the closest book on the shelf beside him, waving it in the air like a kid who’d won a life-sized stuffed animal at the county fair. Got it. Thought it might be out of stock.
Real smooth, jackass.
She arched a delicate brow over the rim of her glasses. Are you ready to check out, Jace?
Yep, I think this’ll do it.
He soaked up the sound of her sweet voice and followed her to the register.
Two months ago, when he’d come to check out the new owner of a large parcel of land adjoining his pack’s hunting territory, he damn sure hadn’t expected to find Michelle Sanders. Once he’d stepped inside the small, quaint bookstore she’d owned in Collins, he’d caught a scent that had eluded him for thirty-two years.
His mate.
The first time he laid eyes on her, his wolf had fought tooth and nail, urging Jace to stake his claim in the primitive way of his people. Hunt her down, mark her, and claim her as his own. That wouldn’t have worked with Michelle. He had to proceed with caution. She was human after all.
Of course, he had no idea how to court a human, or whatever the hell it was they did. In his world, it was hard, fast lust. No relationships, just quick flings that were over as soon as they started. With his own kind. But, he didn’t want a quick anything with Michelle, he wanted forever.
His prim little mate waited patiently for him to slide his purchase across the wooden surface between them. She reached for the book and his hand purposefully settled over hers. In the weeks he’d come in, it was the first time he’d purchased anything. The first time he’d touched her. He stared at her face, ignoring the tiny currents racing up his arm. Her startled, bespectacled blue gaze darted to his, and she pulled her hand away. Fuck yeah. She felt it, too.
The scent of her lust drifted up his nose, and he almost dragged her over the counter right then and there to sink his teeth in her shoulder. His control teetered on a dangerously fine line in her company.
Michelle blinked away her confusion and nodded toward the book under his hand. Find something you like?
More than you could ever know. He moved his hand and she picked up the book. Yeah, I’ve been waiting on that one for a while,
he lied. Can’t get enough of that author.
Jace couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the book. It was just an excuse to linger in her store. Slow, his pack kept telling him, go slow with her. Well, he had, damn it. Since his shy little mate appeared skittish, he’d come in, browsed the shelves of her store twice a week, making friendly conversation, forming an easy friendship, and biding his time until he had her in his bed and life permanently. But, the time for waiting was over.
Recently, he’d caught another scent when he ran on her property.
Hunters.
The bastards had been sniffing around his pack’s borders and camping on Michelle’s land. No doubt without her knowledge. That gave Jace all the more reason to speed up their odd courtship. Her protection was at stake, and he’d be damned if he left his mate in danger. She was his future.
Michelle’s head popped up, humor sparkling in her pretty eyes. She held up his purchase. I love the abs on this one.
He gawked at the semi-naked male torso covering the matte-finished paperback he’d snatched from the shelves without looking.
What. The. Fuck.
***
Michelle bit the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing out loud at the shock written on Jace’s face, though it came as no surprise to her. The hot specimen of male virility that she’d lusted over since he’d sauntered through the double doors of her bookstore was gay.
She winked in an attempt to ease his visible distress. "It’s really a great
