This is the first book I have read in this series and I’m glad I took a chance on it. This book can be read as a standalone, I do plan on going back and reading the previous books in this series. This story was easy to follow even though there was a lot going on. Boone gets the mating call and is off to find his mate and he finds that his expectations aren’t quite what he thought they would be. Cricket already had a mate and has a son, unfortunately her mate was taken away. She wasn’t expecting to get the call again. She is confused and a little afraid of the unknown. Will Cricket be able to open up her heart again? Will Boone be able to convince her to give them a chance? I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story, there is love, drama, twists and turns, great characters and more. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Well well well here we are again 🤣 you just know after reading the first two previous book of this Long Claw Pride Series, I just had to read this one. I was literally counting the days til I could pick this up. This series is like one of my new guilty pleasures lol I can’t get enough of this spectacular world Brooke May has built or her extraordinary characters. Speaking of which, this one follows Boone and Cricket and their wild and passionate ride of becoming fated mates, and then add in the extra drama from the humans. It’s a book you won’t be able to put down. Also It was really cool to see the author include second chance fated mates,I love when that happens. I can’t wait to see more this amazing author, and more from this series🥰

Cricket Adams had her mate and their young son when he mate was taken away from her. Years later, Cricket feels the mating call again, she is terrified of what it means a second mate. Can she open her heart to another man?
Boone Claw feels the call and heads towards Cricket. Boone senses that Cricket is not going to take the claim as mate easily and Boone is determined to find out why. Will he be able to accept his mate or is this mating doomed to fail?
I really enjoyed this one. I felt for Cricket because she is torn on what to do. Boone was terrific, he was so sweet with Cricket. Great story, looking forward to more in this series.

Cricket had already found her mate and they had an infant son when tragedy struck. Years later, Cricket is confused when she feels the mating call once again. Since this is unheard of, she keeps her heart guarded. She spends her time keeping her family’s business going.
Boone has never even had a serious girlfriend because he was waiting for the mating call. When he feels the tug, he is excited to meet his mate. What he doesn’t expect is someone who has already had a mate and child before him. But, he makes the best of the situation and wants to do right by his mate. However. a misunderstanding has Cricket walking away before they can even get started. Will she open her heart to Boone?
This was an easy read that I was able to finish in one sitting. I enjoyed the second shot at love premise. I know these are shifters…but they don’t do much shifting. The story progressed at a good pace that kept me turning the pages.

Cricket met her mate and had a beautiful baby boy, but destiny had other plans, so it took away that man. After years of grieving and acceptance she understands that life will be just like this for her, oh but surprises are around the corner.
Boone feels the call of his mate and without any doubt in his mind he follows the line. The amazing things that are about to blow his mind will change every single thing he has ever learned about being a shifter.
This story is full of adventure and romance.

This is a continuation in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series as it follows mountain lion shifters. I haven’t read books about them before so that really intrigued me. I love that each book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. I feel that it helps with new readers so they can just start at any point during the series and go back to read the others if they choose to. I would they are all really, really good. This book focuses on the wait that some shifters have to do to find their one true mate. It is also about second chance mating which doesn’t happen in a lot of the books that I have read in the shifter realm. The romance story that flows through the book is also held with the surprises that are in store because of the second mating opportunity. Plus the female lead has a son from her pervious mating. It allows the reader to follow along and be caught up in the story. It makes you want to turn pages faster so you can see what happens. This was a very good read and well articulated. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Reviewed by: @bbohls View all my reviews

Shifters sometimes have to wait a long time to meet their fated mates. Boone watched all of his friends and family get the call and find happiness beyond what he could imagine. Cricket had heard the call once before, and began a life and family with her fated mate…and then he was taken from her. When she gets the call a second time, she immediately denies it – after all, no one had ever heard of a second chance mate before. Her love had died and she was resigned to loneliness for the rest of her days. But now, Boone has come around and is so eager for a chance with his fated mate.
As usual, human interference does nothing but cause trouble. In spite of all of the things happening on that front, Boone and Cricket are immediately drawn to one another – they are fated, after all. Will they be able to find peace, either together or apart?
This was my first read by this author and the book had a lot of activity, but it was well balanced and just added to the atmosphere. I’ll be reading more of this series.

These stories always bring me joy. I enjoy the storyline and the characters all have their quirks. In here I was frustrated at the female lead more than once over her negative attitude towards mating. Life throws curveballs..just embrace them. I did get irritated while reading since frequently things were repeated. Usually either in the same paragraph or the next one. That leads to me skipping areas here and there. I have read this author multiple times. Usually I either really love the book or struggled with it. This time I felt about half way between the two. It isn’t great but not horrible either in my opinion. I do enjoy this series and am looking forward to Sheridan’s mating call.

The Mating Chance is the third captivating book in the Long Claw Pride series by Brooke May. As with the other books in the series, this follows members of the Long Claw Clan, a mountain lion shifter community- and makes for fantastic reading. This ca could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the series from the beginning as the stories are worth it- plus there are other relevant bits that will help you fully appreciate the series as a whole. We follow Boone and Cricket on a bit of a second chance, fated mates, paranormal romance- where Ms. May delivers all the emotion, angst, banter, humour, fun, drama, family, community, destiny, secrets, discovery, challenges, chemistry, and spice. As with all her characters, it was easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story. I was rooting for them, even if they frustrated me at times. If you love paranormal romances, particularly shifters- then this is well worth the read! Bring on Book #4! Happy Reading…

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy her writing skills and her ability to bring her characters to life. They are written with a lot of heart and soul which will make you fall for them every time. This is a well written story that is full of shifters, romance and what happens when you find your mate. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They kept my attention throughout the story. There is great growth with the plot as well as the characters throughout which made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

This is the 3rd book I’ve read in this series and it’s my favorite so far! The Mating Chance has a lot going on, but it’s easy to follow. It’s just a matter of the decisions the characters make. The author does a wonderful job presenting the story, the character growth, and making you fall in love with at least one of the two main characters. For me it was Boone. Who could it be for you? Boone has been hit by the call. Never expecting it to be cut and dry, just sweeping his mate off her feet, he didn’t expect what would be walking into. Cricket has been through the mating call before, knows the feel and the process. She had her mate and unfortunately lost him, but not before they had a son. Now all the sudden she’s getting a second chance call. One nobody has ever heard of happening before. So many questions and not many answers. The two biggest being: should she accept it? And will he accept them? Of course you can’t get through these books without human drama and interference into shifter life. And it’s definitely here. Employees are being poached away hoping to force their hand to sell. Yet Cricket and her family stand their ground no matter what Mr. Grace says and does. Will they come out on top? I enjoy these books as well as this author and I look forward to more in the future.

An enjoyable shifter romance with a second chance at love theme which had me hooked throughout. Male mountain lion shifters must follow their instinct to find their mate when the call comes, and this usually only happens once. Boone Claw works as a log faller alongside his brother and lives a bachelor lifestyle surrounded by his crazy cousins. He has watched his family members all settling down having succumbed to the mating call, and so is thrilled when he finally gets it himself. Going on instinct he heads west and finds his mate, Cricket Adams. However, she is shocked when the call strikes her for the second time, as she has already found her mate and started a family with him. She cannot believe that fate would give her a second chance, having taken her mate away and left her as a single mother. When she meets Boone, she is in denial and rejects him despite their obvious connection. However, Boone is determined to convince Cricket to overcome her reservations. I was fully immersed in the world of mountain lion shifters, which the author has created through the wonderfully descriptive narrative. The chemistry between Boone and Cricket really came across and I liked the slight twist on the usual fated mate’s theme.

This book is an interesting take on shifters and mates. It is the first one that I have read where there is a second mating and I loved the idea of it all. The author has taken a well done trope and played with the concept that true love doesn’t just happen once. I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They had an obvious connection right from the start, despite the obstacles they were facing. I thought it was great watching their relationship develop and I loved getting to know them. This is a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to seeing what else is to come.

The Mating Chance is a fantastic second chance romance tale and the second book in the Long Claw Pride series. I really enjoyed the first book The Mating Call in this series and couldn’t wait for this book to come out. Make sure you read the first book because like this book it is full of paranormal goodness. It’s my first love in genre. The world that Brooke has created is one that makes you want to be there and experience what they do. It is so easy to imagine and get lost in. This captivating paranormal romance story is set in a small town where mountain sexy lion shifters live, and soul mates are eagerly sort after. They are wild, absolutely crazy, and most definitely a lot of fun and you can’t help but fall in love with them. With plenty of passion, action, drama, hopes, needs, wants and love and mix it up with fate and you have one explosive read that you just can’t put aside until you have devoured every inch of it. Cricket had it all then it was horribly ripped away from her. Now when a second chance with fate comes along, she doesn’t believe it is true. Boone just wants what everybody has and that is the answer to the Call. Now that it has happened, he must convince them that fate has given them a second chance. I can’t wait for what comes next.

This has been one of my favorite series to read. The concept of getting another mate after the one you were lifemated with was really interesting. Cricket is a fiercely independent single momma that was settled into her thinking she would be alone forever now, then BAM, here comes the pull. Boone is trying to avoid his cousin, Sheridan, the bikini-clad wildcat that always needs her jeeps repaired when his pull comes. He takes his leave and follows his pull. I find that amazing because they take such faith and go (yes, it’s just fiction but still). When these two meet up, the chemistry and sparks are there, he just has to get her to accept. I loved reading this story. These prides are full of personality. The elders that the characters talk to are wonderful and wise. When Cricket takes her little one out for a run, I couldn’t help but think of a certain movie. It’s a bittersweet romance that comes with a happy ending that has beautiful characters and always brings a smile and chuckle. I’ll be eagerly awaiting Afton’s turn.

When the call comes, it is the duty of the male mountain lion shifter to follow instinct to find his mate. It’s only supposed to ever happen once in a mountain lion shifter’s life. But fate can be cruel.
Cricket Adams knows all about the call. Finding her mate already in life and having already started a family with him, she would have never guessed fate would do this to her. Her mate is taken away from her, but fate isn’t done with her yet. Working not only as a single mom, but as the bookkeeper to her family’s logging company, she is in an instant state of denial when the call strikes her again.
Boone Claw has spent his life seeing his family members all succumb to the call, finding a happiness he didn’t truly believe in even seeing it play out before him. Living the bachelor life, working as a log faller alongside his brother, and dodging his crazy cousin, he was thrilled when the call finally strikes him. Instinct takes him west. Learning his mate’s family has a logging company isn’t the only surprise he comes across.
A second mating call is unheard of and so could Cricket’s response in trying to reject him. Can they overcome her reservations? The pain of a human known as Mr. Grace and come together before it’s too late?
Romance author Brooke May spends her days writing whatever her overactive imagination has brewed up and her evenings reading while she works alongside her mom. Telling stories is second natural to her, from a young age she has told anyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now, a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her beloved Bighorn Mountains.
Now with twenty books under her belt, she has so many more to share with the world. She has a little bit of everything for any romance reader; cowboys to fighters, bad boys to soldiers, and even a sweet cupid series for younger readers.

So while this is the 4th book in the Powder River Pack series, it’s the first book I am reading, and it can absolutely be read as a stand alone, but I do feel that you would probably get more backstory in reading the other books in the series. This is also my 1st time reading this author. I have to say, other than being somewhat shorter than I’m used to reading, this was a great book. I love the characters, the world building, the strong plot. I am looking forward to reading more of the series, as well as more from this author.

Last book in this great series, you will find romances, werewolves, and drama. Although the story can technically be considered stand alone, reading the previous books in the series will help you understand other characters as well as the present characters. This one focuses on Alexa and Miles. She is leaving her past behind her and settling into a new place and new career. She can finally breathe until her encounter with Miles. His charm easily entrances her as she also has the same effect on him. Unfortunately, she pushes him away before getting too close and this leaves Miles baffled. Will this disconnection help to find ways to gain her trust and cope with her past or break what has been formed?

The third romance in this book series focuses on Macy and Brandon. Brandon, who is a part of the wolf pack, has been away for some time but is now back in his hometown in Wyoming. Now it is his chance to win back his girl and make her his mate. Macy works hard to keep from repeating her family’s past wrongdoings. She is the representation of a strong female character. But now with their lives moving forward from where they interacted last, can something develop from where they currently stand? Characters from the previous book in series are brought back into the story but this book can be a stand alone but much better understanding and enjoyment reading previous books in series.

First book in this series was so good and I was very much looking forward to the next one! This one focuses on Rylie and Mason’s romance. Hard working and career driven Rylie is brought back to her hometown and is instantly drawn towards Mason, who is the alpha of the werewolf pack. These wolves have an intense scent of attraction when it comes to being drawn to their mate that helps balance out their aggressive nature. Being such a busy man, Mason dismisses looking for a mate but Rylie’s scent starts to quickly change things for him. As they start getting to know one another, Mason has his own dark secrets in which he contemplates revealing to Rylie or not. Seeing where this romance turns into makes this read worthwhile!

I’ve been recently drawn into second chance romances lately and this one did not disappoint. I’ve read several of Brooke May’s works so I definitely wanted to give this series a try. To top it off, these books focus on werewolves. It’s so good in depicting the deeply connected romance of Derek and Annabelle as teenagers and now as adults. How the mate connection brings these werewolves balance to their aggressive selves. Derek and Annabelle met in middle school and were inseparable. They felt as if they belonged to one another. When the situation got tough, Annabelle and her mother moved away and their relationship dissolved. Now many years later, they are brought back together in their same small town in Wyoming and the feelings are still there.

Alexa Hart let herself fall once for a man who she though was her everything but he showed his true colors and Alexa did everything she could to protect herself. She took back her life and now is living the dream, she does not expect to meet Miles Fischer and she knows he is her one.
Miles is a shifter, part of Alexa running is due to her ex who was a shifter. Miles knows that Alexa is his mate but can he convince her that he will love and protect before he reveals his secret or will it be too late?
A bit different than other shifter stories, I liked the twist on it. The chemistry is great, had a little bit of everything i like in a paranormal read. Will be curious if there are more to come.

Alexa Hart is a young woman with her dream job, she is living with her best friend and her whole life is ahead of her and so she goes out to celebrate with her friend, dressed to kill in heels and a shimmery gold dress, she is ready to let loose. Miles Fischer is the brother of the Powder River Pack alpha, and he is the ladies’ man of the group, he is tall with dark hair and muscles upon muscles, but when he goes to work in the pack bar, the last thing he expected to find was his mate.
As soon as she sees the tall, dark and extremely handsome bouncer and the bar she found online, she is for once, speechless, especially when he turns a smile which she cannot resist, not the offer of the first round of their drinks on him and they are some drinks. In fact, the drinks are so good that she cannot work out how to get home with her friend without annoying their mum, this is where her handsome bouncer comes to their rescue and offers her a lift home, which she accepts, as does her friend and the kiss she gets at the end is something else.

In the fourth book of the Powder River Pack Series, Brooke May takes the reader on a journey with Alexa and Miles. After reading the first three books, the reader has been given a glimpse into their journey, but this book really digs into the whole story. The backstory for Alexa with Grant and Teague, and then meeting Miles and her struggles to trust him, followed by some action-packed chapters to really seal the deal. This was another great read and I really enjoyed reading about these characters.

Another book that met my expectations. I loved learning more about Macy and Brandon and their very non traditional start and the journey of getting back together. Reading about Miranda made me laugh so hard and as a mom, I could just envision all the chaos that little girl was causing! I have enjoyed the connections to the previous books and all the overlapping of characters and storylines. Another successful book from Brooke May.
