About this book
Alpha Blake Steel is running out of time.
In his late thirties and without a mate, moon madness is starting to take its toll.
He can feel her. He knows his fated mate is close by. The idea of giving up on her is unbearable, but unless he finds her soon, he'll have no choice.
Waiting any longer will cost him his life.
When he stumbles across his mate, a human with no idea about this whole new world of werewolves and shifters, will he be able to convince her to give them a shot? Or with the clock ticking, and an old enemy circling, will he be forced to leave her behind to save himself and his pack?
This is a steamy, dual POV, MF paranormal romance.
The MMC is a possessive alpha wolf shifter, with a human fated mate, but we have vampires and witches to add to the intrigue.
HEA and no cheating guaranteed.

I grabbed this book by chance when searching Goodreads for a paranormal romance to fill a reading challenge quota. I read The Chase straight through - not putting it down until the very last page was read, which happened to be just after 3am. Starting a new book before bed is a rookie move, but how was I supposed to know that I would love Barsen’s storytelling, characters and steamy scenes?!

They were 1/2 siblings because they share the same father. That kind of bugged me, but overall great story ) 2 people found this helpful

You really need to read \"The Shifters of Greyridge\" before this book. It will help you understand the connections of the sisters. Zoe is the last of 3 sisters to find her mate, and quite in the dark about the whole shifter-thing. It's quite a shock at first! Too funny. Blake is not only an alpha of his pack, but also he's the alpha over many other packs too. Yeah, he's a big deal. He seems different than the impression I had from one of the other sister's story (I forget which). He's very...

This book was so good. Some unexpected twists and turns. Charming Blake from the first 3 books is still ever so charming in book 4. The smart down to earth Zoe is perfect for him. It was a good book with slow burn and some plot twists. )

This is everything I had hoped for Blake’s story. I loved the set-up in the earlier books… we find out why he felt a connection (but not a mate bond) with Hayley. Zoe is exactly the right personality for Blake’s mate. I love them as a couple. )
