Alone, devastated, and on the run, McKenzie Harper is crossing the country with her brother, the only ally left to her after losing not only her mates but their entire family to some mad corporate scheme. When those same corporations send her mates after her, she will have to fight to save them before they slaughter her, or worse, capture her.With her mating marks gone and her dreams haunted, the … haunted, the only Omega is doing the last thing left to her—saving every wolf she can before she too, falls.
For MacKenzie it is the end of her whole world and she won’t go down without a fight.
Please note, this is the second book in a reverse harem #whychoose romance trilogy. Things will not be resolved in this book. That’s what book three is for!

Fabulous sequel to Hidden! I wasnt sure what MacKenzie was going to do but I enjoyed that part of the story. It was gut wrenching in moments and I wanted to slap all the brothers for the crap they did/said but we all know it wasnt their fault and not really them. I love how strong but vulnerable Mac/Kenzie is. I loved how she interacted with the side character (loooove that her brother’s development haha) and really am loving some of those main characters that have some cheekiness, are BAs themselves. But certain ones need to shut up and let the pack make this work (meaning Kenzie and her men) and not interfere because they are scared. I am dyingggggg for book 3, but it comes out NEXT WEEK so I know what I am devouring next week as a reward for myself haha. I thought the twists at the end/the reveals about the baddie was a super interesting and refreshing concept and I am not sure how the guys are going to help Kenzie out with this one. (Cliffhanger wasnt as bad in this book as it was in book 1, but still made me want to chuck my tablet hahaha. I dont mind cliffhangers, just makes me itch for the next one but Rebecca is really great at continuing to crank out her books so no complaints from me
The narration was even better in book 2 than book 1. I absolutely loved Maya’s rendition and her various accents. It made the times when the guys were themselves even more amazing. Maya was able to elevate this story and really make it come to life in my head. I hope she can get book 3 done soon so I can listen to it hahaha.
100% would recommend these to paranormal audiobook lovers and any RH book lovers. I cannot wait to see what happens to the omega and her men and how they come together again with their ever-growing pack to defeat the bad guy and live in peace for once in a generation. Amazing job Rebecca and Maya, great combo that should continue in the future
The second book in The Swamp series a well written story that kept me turning pages. Not fair what a place to leave this story off I want to read the next book. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing.
OMG! This second book in The Swamp Series is amazing! I loved both the book and Audiobook! The narrator of the audiobook is phenomenal, I love her voice! This book is full of steam, action, emotional highs and lows, as well as intrigue! The characters are just plain sinful and the storyline is unique and fantastic! I cannot wait for the next book in this awesome story!
More Royce Magic
Book 2 of The Swamp, Pursued by Rebecca Royce follows on from all the action in Hidden. It’s a fabulous RH read but it is not a standalone and to enjoy it completely you must read the first. It’s great to catch up with these characters and I found myself rushing through sections hoping for MacKenzie’s happy ever after. It’s got heaps of action and all the emotions and a nasty cliffhanger! I’m a real fan of Rebecca Royce’s writing.
The Omega thing
In this book it picks up with mckenzie on the run from her mates after they were taken from her in book 1. Trying to figure out what to do she must band together and figure out how to save the werewolves. In this book we get to see McKenzie stretch her omega powers. There are more of her awesome mates and we find out more about the big bad.
No spoilers of any kind included.
So this is the only thing I’m going to say about Pursued and that is I thought it was fantastic.
And I definitely do recommend this book but if you haven’t read the first book then I highly suggest that you do that way you understand what’s happening and who’s who.
Kenzie is an omega in generations. For some reason they all died and no more were born until her. Since the lack of the omegas (healer) werewolves were ordered to live lives like humans and no shifting , they could only mate with a human and they couldn’t live in packs. If the shifted without the omegas around they would turn into the loup-garou and it was made a law .
The Lajeune Brothers: Rainer, Preston, Jarret, and Anton are her mates but in the last book they were taken from her so her brother Agustin got her out of that area and they are on the run.
In this book she is fighting back! Lots of stuff going on but wow what an amazing story. I am dieing to tell you all about but I can’t lol its will spoil the fun of you reading it! So inhale to bite my tongue and keep the huge secret lol. I will say she meets a bad guy very powerful. Will she be about to beat him? We don’t know yet it not in this story lol I could not put this story down I hung on every word. Awesome characters and there are new ones too! Action, drama, mystery, spice, and so much more. I can’t wait for the next book to come out. I am hooked on this series
Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it
Talk about jumping into one feet first thanks to having waited for this but kinda failed. When I seen McKenzie is already pushing my adrenaline button I started gobbling this quickly. You will also be pulled to the edge more than you can count. Oh how devastated I would feel but what has happened has only strengthened her resolve. The intrigue of the story will keep you stuck like glue thanks to the originality and mix of elements. The risks sometimes will try and take your breath but you know you have to hold on for more. Thanks to also it being paranormal there is the unexpected that mixes quite well. Oh though no mercy but oh sweet intensity we will be given with waiting for what will follow next.
McKenzie came out swinging in Pursued. She was just awesome with her abilities and how she pushed herself. I think I was as shocked as McKenzie when she admitted to herself the truth about her mates and how they connected. McKenzie and her brother had more allies than they realized and that was good. Once things were truly rolling in their actions, it was a nonstop freight train for them. I hope that McKenzie is able to pull from the depths of herself and really figure out what it means to be THE OMEGA. There are a lot of Loups depending on her and her mates. While I “hate” that these stories are drawn out over three books, they are sooo delicious that they have to be broken up and devoured separately! Can’t wait for the end.
This was the continuation of Hidden which should be read first. Pursued is not the end of McKenzie and her mates story.
Mackenzie is traveling with her brother Agustin, finding loups and fixing them. She’s missing her mates and her marks are going leaving her feeling so very empty inside. Hoping she’ll be able to find them she lets her Omega power guide her and unfailingly finds what’s she looking for. Except her mates.
It’s her youngest mate Preston who finds her, using a loup as bait. He’s cocky and believes he has the upper hand, his every word hurting her until Agustin shoots him with a tranquilizer.
Not only does Mac find her mates, she also find something that shouldn’t exist with the Accords in place. A town of werewolves.
So much happens in this book, plenty of action, tears, romance and suspense. A man to be dealt with if the wolves are to survive.
I couldn’t put this book down and the lead into the next book has my salivating for it. I really can’t wait!
HOLY COW! Wasn’t expecting anything like this installment went, not at all. So much going on but you don’t get lost at all. I’m loving the new characters, and of course the ones we already know. Everyone is an important part of the story. The reader gets suspense and of course surprises and heat. Everything you want in a story is there and the ending well lets just say remember there’s another book coming!
I did not see that ending coming. I hate having to wait for the next book. McKenzie has to find her mates and save them. There is a lot happening in this book. McKenzie is learning more and more about what it means to be an Omega and the pain that goes along with it. This story is really good. I’m really intrigued by the whole idea.
Pursued: A Paranormal Romance (The Swamp Book 2) Kindle Edition
by Rebecca Royce
I received an eARC from the author and I am leaving an honest review voluntarily.
Rebecca makes a point in the foreword of the book that new readers need to harken to. This is not a stand-alone. You must read the first book and if you want the feels from a HEA, you need to read the next book. That said:
The story starts with MacKenzie and her brother on the run from the evil forces. They are roaming the country, seeking Loups to save and hoping to keep ahead of the big bads that want to capture her for their vile reasons. Unfortunately, those bads may include her mates…
One of the things I love about Ms. Royce’s works is the way that older women usually hold the power and the knowledge. This occurs here with the female Alpha, Miranda. We can cast our eyes back to her other series like The Last Hope, where an older, long missing sister has the knowledge the characters need to move on and solve the problems.
This series is very sensory, since it people can turn furry. This allows Ms. Royce to created some of the best non-visual sensory pictures in the field.
The story twists and adds another level to their villains.
The love scenes are paced just right in the speed of the story and as sweet as a spicy and steamy.
All in all, another an amaze-balls book from Rebecca Royce. Read this series is the best advice you will get this week.
5 stars out of 5

Mackenzie is truly one bada$$ female! Slowly learning how to use her Omega powers to save wolves that have turned into Loups through no fault of their own. Desperate to find her mates that were cruelly torn from her. She and her brother move from city to city in their RV determined to rejoin her small family. She knows they’re out there, and she WILL find them! It doesn’t help that she’s never met another Omega before and therefore had no clue how this works. As far as she knows she’s the last. However what she lacks in knowledge she makes up for in heart and determination! Making strong allies along the way she starts piecing together the conspiracy that’s kept wolves down. Pieces of their histories lost because of a maniac wanting supreme power.
WARNING: DO NOT start this book before reading book one! It’s not a stand alone. Three also a huge cliffhanger. The way Rebecca writes is typically the main characters go through immense hardships until the final book. I for one can’t wait for book three! I’m looking forward to seeing her and her beloveds kick some massive tail!!
Another fantastic book really enjoyed it and could not put it down it was full off action and had me wanting more ….I love any books that resolve around wolfs and this did not disappoint the characters are strong and determined to get things done , coming together to beat the bad guys ….. but that ending had me with tears in my eyes can’t wait for the next book brilliant
Wow!! So good and always leaving me needing the next book quickly! This was a different feel from the first one and, of course, needed to be. I absolutely love these characters and how this story is told. They are all bad ass and I can’t wait to get my hands on the ending. Big things are coming for sure. Someone is in for it and his pain can’t come soon enough.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
McKenzie is on the run, and just trying to keep her head above water.
Her mates are brainwashed.
Will she get her mates back ?
This book picks up where book 1 left off.
McKenzie will have to pull her big girl pants up, and fight to get her people back.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
