VBT: Spotlight, Review, & Giveaway - Chasing Sam (Vegas Mates Book 1) by. Krystal Shannan



CHASING SAM (VEGAS MATES BOOK 1)
KRYSTAL SHANNAN


Blurb
Samantha Demakis doesn’t want a mate right now. Her birth-rite and family obligations to her status as the first daughter of a noble family beg to differ. In fact, even her wolf seems to be against her. When a chance encounter reveals the man who might just be a perfect fit, will she run? Or will she fight?

Chase Michaels has been alone for seventy-five years. He’s fought in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan in the US Army. Somewhat resigned to never finding his true mate, he is shocked when his wolf reacts so strongly to a woman he runs into in the airport. Unprepared for the politics and snobbery of the noble families, Chase finds himself fighting in a different type of war —a war for the heart of a woman he knows should be his.
A lot of things are chasing Sam, but who or what will catch her in the end?

Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains adult sexual situations and/or adult language, and may be considered offensive to some readers.




REVIEW:


Samantha Demakis is a wolf shifter. She is on her way home for Christmas Break. Sam dreams of becoming a doctor, and living on her own terms. Her parents have something different in mind.
Sam is of mating age, and coming from a noble family she is expected to enter into an arranged mating.

Chase Michaels is a shifter from a common family. He is returning home from a stint in Afghanistan . He meets Sam in the airport, and immediately recognizes her as his mate.
When he finds out that Sam has to mate the winner of a mate hunt, he agrees to be a part of it, so he can claim Sam as his own.

Sam and Chase know that the only way they can have their HEA together, is for Chase to win it.

This story is short, but very appealing. The author does a great job of pulling you in, and not letting go. Chasing Sam is action packed, and full of clever twist. Chase is the perfect sexy hero, fighting to the death for his one true mate.
Sam is a strong heroine fighting tradition to be with her one true love. Their romance is passionate, and very real. I loved it!

5STARS/5

 

Excerpt:
“Sam? Sam, have you heard anything I’ve said?”
Sam finally tore her gaze away from Chase. When she’d seen him walk into the lounge, every part of her being began to ache. Her wolf was going nuts, urging her to go over and talk to him immediately.
“He is here to see us!”
Sam glanced up at Nicole and then again at Chase. God, he was smiling. A huge lolling sexy grin. Her heart melted into a puddle and all she wanted to do was oblige her wolf, climb into his lap, and snuggle against his broad chest.
Nicole laughed and Sam turned back with a glare. “Out of the entire Vegas strip, soldier-boy hottie ends up one table across from you in your favorite haunt.”
“Shhh… Nicole, don’t talk so loud. He can hear you.” Her cheeks warmed and she took another quick sip of her Jack and coke.
“Ooooh, this is the hottie from the airport?” Hallie giggled.
Sam put her empty glass down and looked up. All three of her sisters were smiling and waving at Chase and his friend. If only she could disappear into the leather of the seat cushion.
“Nicole, wave them over here to our booth. I want to meet the guy that finally made Sam turn her head twice.” Tess snickered. “It’s not every day you get to see Samantha Demakis blush like a high school freshman.”
“Shut up, Tess,” Sam hissed and scowled at her little sister. She wanted nothing more than to talk to Chase again, but not surrounded by her sisters or in front of whoever his friend was.  
Before she could object, Nicole had hopped up from their booth and walked over to the pair. Sam stole another glance and shivered with excitement when both men stood and followed Nicole back to the table.
