Tate: I’ve spent most of my life waiting for my fated mate. The one person in this world made just for me. The one Fate had determined was perfect for me in every way. And now that he’s here, he isn’t anything like I expected.Hollis: No ties, no clans, no mate; that’s the way I choose to live my life. I don’t want anyone having power over me in any way, and if anyone thinks that just because Tate … because Tate is my mate, I have no choice but to stay with him, they’re mistaken.
When lynx shifter Hollis Roby is sent to Copper Creek to assist with a murder investigation, the last thing he expects to find is his fated mate; especially since he doesn’t even believe fated mates exist. However, that’s the only explanation for the irresistible pull he feels toward clan Beta Tate Decker.
The deeper they go into the investigation, the more obvious it becomes that there’s more going on in Copper Creek than a simple homicide. Trapped in the middle between a corrupt Council and a human supremacist group, the clan is counting on Hollis and Tate to figure out who’s responsible. Not only for the murders, but for the other odd happenings in the area, as well.

I enjoyed this next book in the series. We see more true mates appearing and the story line continues. A quick read for me via KU. Looking forward to watching Chase ‘pack’ grow and meeting more true mates.
Love this series. I have listened to them multiple times. Can’t wait for more.
Wow!! This book was awesome! Continuing the Copper Creek shifter story, Tate and Hollis show what true love is. I can’t wait for the next book! Each character is wonderfully written and easy to fall in love with.
I really like this shifter world, the main pack and I love the plot with it’s part of romance and mystery.
In this book it’s the Beta second Tate who meets his mate. Hollis is a tracker for the council and are sent to the pack to investigate them but ends up finding more than he was looking for.
I love that the animal they shift to has his/her own personality and name and that they communicate with their human. And the fact that we have everything from squirrels to bears and owls is great.
I just wanted more when the book ended and can’t wait to see what happens next and who will find his true mate next.
It seems like there’s no rest for Chase since he has decided to be Alpha to his clan. Now dead bodies show up in the canyon and too many people seem to be searching for something in the cave system under it.
His second beta Tate Decker is investigating the murders alone until the Shifter Council send their own man to Copper Creek. But Hollis Roby’s job is not only to find the killer,but also to dig up any possible dirt on Chase. So of course at the beginning they are all wary of each other.
The fun part is that as soon as Tate and Hollis see one another they realize that they’re fated mates…fun part to me,not to them… Because I found them terribly entertaining as they pass judgment on the fates,distrusting of who has been chosen for them,all the while noticing how attractive and amazing the other man really is. For example,Hollis is so cute when he’s all ”I don’t want a mate,but look how funny, gentle, how beautiful Tate is”
Yeah,they start off rocky and they put up a good fight against the mating pull… Yet,teaming up trying to figure out what’s going on in the canyon is the their opportunity to spend time together and eventually realize how undeniably perfect for one another they are…
Tempting Tate is a engrossing book. Mystery intertwined with a fated mates romance:intriguing while also sweet and hot. Fun addition to the series and I can’t wait to see what happens next to the shifters of Copper Creek.
Lynxes and Love
Not a standalone as the story arc continues from the previous books in the series. You’ll want to read those first to catch up on what’s been happening in Copper Creek.
We begin with the gruesome murder of a shifter. Who did it and why are the questions on everyone’s mind. Tate and the rest of the Copper Creek pack are on the case. Tate, a deputy on the police force and a Beta in his pack, encounters Hollis, an enforcer, who’s been sent to Copper Creek by the shifter council to help with the case. Tate gets the shock of his life when they first meet. While it might be lust at first sight with lots of chemistry, neither are enamored with the other and resist the pull.
I love enemies-to-lovers stories and Tempting Tate fits the bill. Hollis is a bit of a jerk at the beginning but oh so yummy, and Tate has quite the wonderfully possessive nature. I especially enjoyed the scenes with Tate being playful; he’s so adorable as is Hollis’ nickname for him. The ending scene was very sweet, and I’m enjoying the mysteries that are the foundation of each book.
Also, must say I’m really happy for Kota and am hoping Hazz and Dima’s story is next because something is up with them. A great addition to a fantastic series by Jacki James!
