3.5 Stars ~ The Mating Hunt (Werewolves of Montana #2) by Bonnie Vanak

The Mating Hunt is book two in Werewolves of Montana series by Bonnie Vanak. With this being book two I did not have any trouble picking up on the world or charactors. The sexual tension between Kyle and Arianna was well done. I liked how Kyle took his time and helped her over come her past trauma.

Arianna has a phobia of sex. As a werewolf it is in their nature to be sexual as well as for them to come into heat. They need sex to alleviate the tension during that time of year.

Kyle also has a difficult past with him being a hybrid (wolf and satyar). He has been a drifter for most his life. Keeping his hybrid status a secret.
Both have difficult past to over come before they can come together.

I like to read series books in order, but this book can be read as a stand a lone. The Mating Hunt was a good read. It did not prompt me to want and read the rest of the series, but I did enjoy the story line and sexual tension between the leads. We get lots of sexual tension, hot sex later on, a bad wizard, wolf sex as well as satyar and a couple who must both over come their past traumas and hurts to be together.

Ari is a passionate lupine scared of being intimate and having sex. Kyle is a half-breed, half lupine and half Satyr. He wants to be with Ari but a Satyr is the reason she is so scared, and she doesn't know that he is half Satyr.

Ari exposes herself to skins one too many times and a wizard says: find a mate or die at the next full moon. So off she runs into the forest to go looking for some lupine children who have gone missing. Kyle is sent after her and they have to figure out who is behind the kidnappings, how to save the children and how to save Ari.

The book seemed to be only about sex, and I didn't think it was such a great read. Should the story had a bit of elaboration around Tristam and the otherwordlers then maybe this focused too much on sex. There is one bit at the end where Kyle needs sexual relief as soon as possible to combat the effects of the full moon and the drugs injected into him - yes of course sex will save the day!

I wouldn't rush out to read the rest of the books, this didn't make me interested in the rest of the characters or the world they are from.

It got a little hokey towards the last few pages, but otherwise I felt this was a pretty good story. I appreciate the fact that although Ari was traumatized as a young girl, she was trying to make a real effort to overcome her trauma and be a healthier person sexually. Good for her.
