His wolf wants her to submit. She wants him to heel.After years of kicking ass in the Army, Captain Valerie Logan needs a break. And she can’t think of a better place for some R&R than her best friend’s small mountain hometown. Except her sister from another mister no longer lives in Tremble, Georgia. Who does? Her BFF’s frustrating, domineering, sex-on-two-legs older brother. Zeke Soren is a … brother.
Zeke Soren is a born alpha—when he growls, his werewolf pack listens. Unfortunately, there’s one beautiful, bad-ass, human female who refuses to follow a single order. He’s already dealing with humans infringing on pack territory. He doesn’t need one invading his life—no matter what his wolf thinks.
The only problem is that Val is everything he’s ever wanted in an alpha female—strong, fierce, sexy, and his. He’ll just have to turn her into a werewolf. No big deal, right? Unless he’s wrong about her being his fated mate and he kills her instead.

Let’s face it, Zeke had a bit of a mountain to climb after his total douchecanoe-esque behaviour from the previous book. He was less Alpha and more like a spoiled child!
Now we get to see the real Zeke. The one who struggled to hold his pack together, look after his mother and sister and generally try to undo the rift his father caused between them all.
Valeria is awesome. She is fearless and when she thinks something dodgy has happened to her friend – oh good gravy the world will burn till she finds her! Chloe seems to have fallen off the planet and now some dipstick brother is trying to get her to calm down like a good little human. Except she is not supposed to know about weres but Chloe caved in a moment of loneliness. How can she find Chloe, survive Zeke being all…well Zeke and make it out of town alive????
Val lusts after Zeke but she if not about to just drop at his feet, she can have some fun at the big lugs expense – he shouldn’t have treated her friend so shoddily. Lots of humour and silliness to enhance the hot as heck passion!
I LOVE Val & Zeke! I’m pretty new to the whole shifter sub-genre but I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! I laughed out loud several times–to the point where my family looked at me like I’d lost my mind. Real Men Bite is funny, sexy, well-written, a page turner…seriously GET THIS BOOK! It is a fun, fast, laugh-out-loud read! (Plus some great HEAT between the couple too!)
This was a fabulous story. I loved how it started. Val was a take no gruff woman. Zeke didn’t even know what he was up against when he fell for her. She was pivotal in helping and strengthening the pack. I loved how she was in flux about what she wanted to do with her future until the end. It was a real touch versus jump all in, give up your current life trope that is common. The danger that the pack faced made a good storyline to carry the Real Men stories.
I enjoyed this new offering in this series! I love when these two authors get together to share their magic. In this one, Val and Zeke fall together when she comes to find her beastie, Chloe, Zeke’s sister. Val is an aggressively badass heroine who takes crap from no one. She plays awesome mind games on the men of the pack, who really have no come back. So the plot is mainly about their love story and a secret kept. The subplot is on simmer in the background with the lone wolf and the bad politics, so I’m hoping those ends get tied up in future books!
Valerie Logan came to tremble George to see her best friend Chloe Sorern. But her house was packed up so she stoped of to get a beer and burger at a bar. Problem was she ended up having to protect her self , one thing lead to another and well she got arrested! So when her asked for her one phone call it was to Chloe Soren. Good thing the cop that arrested her was a werewolf and knew Chloe brother the alpha werewolf Zeke. So he called him.
Oh yes the story gets better see when Zeke gets down to the jail his wolf tells him Val is his mate only he doesn’t believe it lol.
Lots of action, drama, mystery, spice and more going on in this story. I couldn’t out it down and didn’t want it to end. It ready was a fun read with awesome characters. Don’t miss it. Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly love it.
Zeke and Val are both dominant and stubborn. What will happen if they give in to their attraction and desires? To Zeke, Val is just a human and he can’t reveal his true nature or take a chance that his wolf is wrong and she’s not his mate. To Val, Zeke is her best friend’s brother and from what she’s learned about mates, she can’t be Zeke’s. Also, Val ends up in jail. TWICE!
I love this series.
This is another great story with wonderful characters. It has strong, loveable characters with a sense of humor. I love catching up with characters from previous books. Overall, a great story written by these talented authors. I can’t wait to read the next book this series.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
Captain Valerie is ready for some R&R
Too bad that she picked Zeke’s territory.
Zeke is an Alpha, with a capital A.
Will they kill each other or give in to their mutual attraction ?
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
This book has a strong female, who will have you cheering. Zeke and Valerie show that two are stronger than one when trying to overcome your inner problems. A very enjoyable book.
I really enjoyed this book. Admittedly it didn’t go how I thought. A lot of the book Zeke and Val didn’t really connect as a couple. Their start is a little different than I’m used to. I didn’t hate it though. I loved Val. Her alpha personality and not TSTL. She’s a military woman but she’s a girl too. Kinda perfectly rounded but has her share of issues. It was hard to like Zeke sometimes with his “I hate/dislike humans and no way can my mate be human” deal. I think I needed a little more from his character. It came together in the end but things aren’t resolved with the land thing. So I’m guessing more stories are coming. I think I really missed the mate connection in this book. I wanted more Zeke and Val. I didnt feel it as much with the other characters. I think that was a little off putting a a smidge disappointing. Still it was really hilarious in the beginning when Val was treating his wolf like a dog…. priceless. Great story!
We first met Zeke in “Real Men Heal” and he did not make a great impression. Luckily he fully redeemed himself in this book. The interaction between him and Valerie was both steamy and funny. Although, in my opinion, it was “Fang” who made the story! Can’t wait for the next book…hopefully it will be Warren.
*I received an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book which I am voluntarily reviewing*
Wow! two alphas together. Need to learn to work as a team. Very exciting story, I am wondering what they will decide to do about McNish. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
Another great addition to the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Val was the epitome of what a female heroine is suppose to be. Maybe she was more ruff around the edges still the same I liked her. As for Zeke I didn’t think I would care much about him especially since he totally rub me the wrong way in the previous book. I’m glad he was able to change the way I felt about him. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
This is Zeke and Val’s story and gotta say I adore the way this one starts off !! All of us whom love a bad ass woman will just fall in love with this book !! It really gets going when Val stops at a bar for a drink and some food . Along with a man who cannot take the word no and has touch issues lol ! From here this story just takes off !! After Val is arrested Zeke is called since Val is looking for his sister . Once he catches scent of her his wolf goes nuts but he is not about to mess with a human no matter what ! After he talks her into staying the night at his place I just love the way the morning went !! Snickering here lol so good !! This is well written and strongly recommended to all !!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!! Zeke and Val are a great couple. I liked how they worked at their relationship!! I love that Val is a badass!! I love these series!! You can’t go wrong with any of Marina or Celia’s books!!.
Val is the business! I enjoyed reading about her and Zeke. The book didn’t end with the conflict and resolution that I thought it would have. Maybe it carries over into the next book. I did feel a little let down. But the writing has been consistent and it wasn’t truly left on a cliff hanger, but the issues are still there looming over the pack. I do like how Zeke was more confident at the end and I look forward to reading more of his pack.
The Alpha meets his match in his sisters besty, am Army Captain
Captain Valerie “Val” Logan is on mandatory R&R from the Army after returning from a difficult deployment. No family that she wants to claim, except for Fang, the tea cup pomeranian, she rescued from her mom and latest looser boyfriend she tries to reach her best friend, Chloe Soren. Val and Chloe bonded as college roommates and have been best friends since. Val knows Chloe’s secret and the ins and out of being a shifter. They may not speak for weeks or months at a time, but when they reconnect, they pick up were they left off.
Val unable to reach Chloe, heads to her home town. An unintentional bar fight, lands Chloe in jail. Chloe’s name has her older brother, the Alpha, Zeke Soren, coming to her rescue. Val finds herself strongly attracted to Zeke and can’t help messing with him when he tries to hide what he is while she is staying at the pack house.
Zeke has a strong attraction to his little sister’s best friend. His wolf is calling her mate, but Zeke doesn’t accept that a human could be his mate. The more time he spends with Val, the more he sees she is the perfect mate for him.
Trouble has come to pack lands in the form of real estate developer, Dick McNish. He is after the public land bordering pack land. He has the mayor and a few judges in his pocket.
Fast paced, a little steamy. Val is a strong alpha female. Zeke is man/wolf enough to let her be who she is, at least once he gets over the fact she is human and his mate. Felt bad for Levi, yeah, he is not the brightest crayon in the box, but Val really pulled a b!tch move on him just to goad Zeke. Ends in a little cliffhanger as things are far from resolved with Dick McNish.
Valerie Logan is on leave from her army unit, with orders to get her anger issues under control. Coming to the town her college room mate comes from to visit her doesn’t seem to be working out so well.
Alpha wolf Zeke Soren has had a very eventful year. Everything seems to be piling up on top of him. Now some trouble maker has come to town searching for his little sister.
This is a lot of fun. Our heroine is as strong as you would expect a soldier to be. She is however just a little battle weary. The pack’s hometown is undergoing some changes. That is not going to be pleasant.
Great characters in a sexy series that is best read in order.
I loved it.
Anger Issues????
Captain Valerie Logan has been asked, no ordered to take some much needed R & R to tamp down some of her PTSD Anger issues and what better place to go for that than to her BFF Chloe’s hometown in Templeton, Georgia. What Val didn’t expect was to be thrown in the tank her first day there for dropping some dude on his A** for touching her. Darn anger issues again! Chloe is the only person in the world that gets her, except when her big brother Zeke walks in to get her out of the joint and all that goes out the window. What a hunka hunk Chloe never warned her about that.
When Zeke walks into the jail to get his little sister’s friend out of jail, he never expected to be overwhelmed by her scent….No way, no how can a human be his mate. Will Zeke manage to get over his prejudice about humans where Val is concerned and will Val be able to trust Zeke like she trusts Chloe, or will she go back to the Army and take that promotion she’s been offered?
