Mated by Midsummer (Stratton Wolves Book 1)

Kelli left all of Stratton behind 10yrs ago. She wants to only attend her brother’s wedding and then leave. But Max, the alpha has plans for her. He has wanted her for his own for 10yrs and he plans to make it happen.

Kelli leaving because she wasn’t given a choice, ok understandable. Mas was being the Alpha and just stated she was it. He didn’t even romance her or let her know how he felt. First mistake for him. NOW, he has to fix all that to win her over. I thought when he overheard her conversation about not wanting him that he was going to take her then. Thank goodness that she was able to bring him through it. But also she realize a great deal about him. That he was always giving her a choice. It was her blind thoughts that she miss heard him.

Coming back home to meet your destiny? No, that isn't why Kelli came home, she is determined to make her own choices in life. Max is too, that she make her choices, but he wants her to choose him, same as before. She won't give him a chance, even with all those sexy sparks going off between them. Once Kelli gets her mind in motion, and sees Max for the man and the wolf he is, things are on track. Just a couple of trouble makers to set aside, and then this destined couple can be together!

For the most part I enjoyed reading the story. There was good chemistry and sex between the hero and heroine and it had a HEA ending, which is always my preference for romance stories. The book was short, which is fine but could have benefited from more character development. I would have liked to know Kelli and Max before she ran away from him, 10 years prior. It would have helped build up their relationship more, making it easier to be more invested in their characters. Also, them mating under the full moon was mentioned several times during the book but then at the end, nothing happened except she bit him on the neck. There were no further details. After all of the build up and potential for a hot scene, it was a let down.

This was a short quick read that was pretty good. Kelli Copeland has to go home for her brothers wedding. She's hoping that a decade is enough for pack alpha Max. Pack alpha Max Daniels could have the pick of the females in Stratton, but he only wants Kelli. This was a pretty good book this is my first time reading this author this and I love a good shifter story. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. This was the first book in an new series for me. I liked that Kelli wasn't a push over. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

A cute bedtime story that will have your motor running in not time. Complete with a bit of intrigue, lots of hot sex, and a tad of bitchiness, this tale will not leave you wanting. A wonderful introduction to what promises to be a great series. Loved it!

I want to know what happens next. Girl leaves town comes back for her brothers wedding to have the alpha claim her. He claims and jealous other girl tries to come between them. I want to know what happens to the bad girl. It just says she never comes back. How do the main characters adapt to their new life. Any kids? Was short and sweet and one great sex scene.

I started out liking this story, but once Kelli lost her sassiness and didn't really put up a fight, well it kind of made me lose interest, I did enjoy the action and love scenes, I wish Kelli's character would have fought a little bit harder for her freedom and really made him work for her love.

An Excellent book!!! I love paranormal reads and this was one of the best!!! I enjoyed it immensely, Ms. Carter!!!!! I loved the romance and I loved the excitement!!!! I base the stars on how much I enjoyed the book. That is how I rate the book. This book?? the store, can I rate this about 10 stars?? Thank you , Ms. Carter!!!

This first book of this series is hot and steamy. I like how after 10 years that there is still love an trust. There story jumps off the page at you fuel characters are so well written. I look forward to the next book in series.

Another winning short romance by Mina Carter. Again this writer does not give full details and seems to love using her British terminology for American-based stories, but who cares when the characters have fun pursuing and running with a HEA at the end!

Love Max the Alpha !!!!!!!! Kelli comes back home to regroup. Max, the Stratton Pack Alpha, still wants her after 10 years apart. Very Hot sex, great characters, interesting story. Loved this tale, and look forward to more ! ENJOY !!!

Max & Kelli were destined to be together, he knew that as far back as when they were kids. Waiting for her to come back, ten long years, he was grateful that she had.

Gotta love just how committed shifters are. If only humans took things as serious. Wow that was melancholy, huh? :-) But then that's why we read these Hot reads!! Right? The great sex & intense love.

Enjoy!! I did.

I'm a huge paranormal romance reader. This book is engaging with just enough strife between characters to make this interesting. I would love to read more from this author as I see much potential for more great books.

This short story was underdeveloped in characters and story line and back story. It would also have benefited from better editing. As is it is not worth 3 bucks. It could be used as a draft and developed into a good story. The potential is there but not fulfilled.

Ten years ago wolf shifter Kelli Copeland left home after finding out new pack alpha Max Daniels planned to mate with her. Kelli has not been back since but now her brothers wedding is on the horizon and she is back. She figured Max would be married by now with a bunch of mini Max's but she couldn't be more wrong. Max has been waiting for Kelli to come back and he plans to mate with her, he just needs to get her to understand he is everything she needs and more.

Fun quicky, had romance and action. Wished the story was a bit longer but overall got a full story and the chemistry was great.
