Cursed Mates Kindle Edition

by Cara Marsi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars (20)
Scorching. Suspense. Sensual.

"What if you were honor bound to kill the man you love?"

Nick Radford is a reluctant werewolf who’s been fighting the Beast within for nearly 500 years. He’s never killed a human, but the Beast is gaining strength and Nick may not be able to ward off his inner demon much longer.

Kyla Yaeger is an elite were-hunter with a scarred past. Her life’s mission is to slay the werewolves that slaughtered her parents. Her quest has brought her to Maine, where she’s been summoned to destroy the werewolf terrorizing the quaint little village of Heavensent. The last thing she needs is to get distracted by her mysterious—not to mention hunky—new neighbor, Nick Radford.

By the time Kyla learns Nick is her target, she’s already fallen for him, making her task of killing him that much harder. She is torn between her love for him and her duty to kill her sworn enemy. Nick fights his forbidden love for Kyla, knowing she is duty-bound to kill him. Kyla and Nick must join forces to fight an even bigger threat—one that will destroy all humanity. Only by their combined powers, can they destroy the evil and bring an end to a centuries old curse.

Extensively revised and edited version of the original book first published in 2010 by Noble Romance Publishing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Cursed Mates],,, was a good fast read with all the elements I like in my stories. Hot, sexy, a bit mysterious male lead, and a strong, independent but a bit vulnerable leading lady.... Loved it, recommend it. Go grab it! It's a great escape from reality." From My Eclectic Bookshelf

"Cursed Mates has a lot within to appeal to romantic suspense readers who enjoy
stories with paranormal flair. It entertains, astounds and even gives a few
goose bumps along the way....It's wonderful to see a tortured hero find
his happy and Nick certainly earned his. He was my favorite character." Long & Short Reviews

"Cursed Mates succeeded in pulling me head-first into a world where good versus evil. I fell in love with Marsi's unique skill of creating different levels of evil and making me realize that the good guy is not always perfect. ...even though there is a happy ending for the characters, there is the pain of loved ones that were lost. Together, the main characters overcame their grief and found happiness." Risque Reviews, January 2012

. . .CURSED MATES. . .a great love story as well as a tale of battling the supernatural, of two people carrying two curses, of lovers who've loved before and--if they survive--may love again.
4 Stars...--Toni Sweeney at tonivsweeney.com

Can you imagine finding out the one you have fallen in love with you have to kill? The twists and turns in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. .from Book Lovers Hideaway

Marsi created a wonderfully haunted atmosphere that held untold dangers and secrets making me more then a little eager to read further and uncover a few. ... Marsi masterfully weaves multiple plot lines that came together perfectly...Black Lagoon Reviews

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Read!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011

    Kyla Yaeger is a were-hunter on a mission. Everything she does is meant to move her one step closer to avenging her parents deaths. Her assignment in Heavensent, Maine is no different...until she's inexplicably drawn to her new neighbor.

    Nick Radford is the epitome of the dark, brooding--and to die for gorgeous--hero. He can't escape his past and he can't break the bond between himself and his new neighbor that seems to have formed instantly.

    Nick and Kyla's attraction is too strong to extinguish or ignore. Problem is, he's her target. But there's much more going on in this story than a beautiful were-hunter who's obligated to kill the sexy werewolf. I don't want to give the plot away, but suffice it to say that Cursed Mates has plenty of twists and turns and pages of steamy romance.

    I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good were-story!

    Although I don't normally read about werewolves, once I started this book I was so blown away by the writing I couldn't stop reading. Kyla and Nick were destined to be enemies, yet they were also destined to mate. I had to know how Cara Marsi resolved this problem, and the ending was everything I expected from one of this author's books. Fantastic read. Five stars.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Huh???
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012

    I was in the mood for a good werewolf story, and seeing the high ratings, I snapped this up. I have absolutely no clue if I read the same novel as the other reviewers. Seriously - this is one of the worst books I have ever read. Ever. And yet I felt compelled to finish it, much like one stares at an awful traffic accident.

    This book employs nearly every cliché ever written in paranormal. The evil villain literally throws back his head and laughs all the time. Seriously. He is a demon from hell, yet when he kills people, he says that they will burn in agony in hell. Aren't demons supposed to be happy there? Whatever.

    The heroine, Kyla, is a professional werewolf hunter. Her father was a werewolf hunter, but he was bitten by one and killed himself so he wouldn't turn. OK, "Teen Wolf" just did this much better. So she comes to town and is convinced that she must kill Nick, even though she figures out that he is the white wolf and the demon is the black wolf with red eyes. Yeah, they did this 70 years ago on film. Five minutes after meeting Nick, she is kissing him and falling in love because...well I won't say, but you can figure it out after 2 pages. Hint: Nick is 500 years old and misses his dead wife Catherine desperately. Run from there. She KNOWS he isn't evil, and yet she feels she must kill him because of loyalty to her job. Because no one on their deathbed ever says "gee, I wish I'd spent more time at work". Seriously Kyla, therapy would help. Much.

    For a change, I actually like the hero better than the heroine. He knew what he wanted from life: Heathcliff, I mean Nick, just wanted to love Kyla (or Catherine) and then have her put him out of his misery. Yeah, that's how I felt halfway through the book.

    Girl has gay best friend? Check.
    Old crone is a witch? Check.
    Gypsy fortuneteller (btw, we don't call the Roma that anymore - it's like the "N" word to them)? Check.
    Werewolves that hate vampires? Check.
    Vampires that hate werewolves? Check.
    Sort of love triangle? Check.

    Seriously folks, if you want a really good werewolf story, try "Nightwolf" by David Samuel or "The Forsaken Boy" by Troy Tradup. Save yourselves from this. This is the most negative review I have ever given and I feel totally justified. This book just annoyed me the hell out of me. And I spent $5.95 on it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good but had the potential to be great
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2013
    Cursed Mates has everything that I look for in a werewolf book; a kick-ass female lead, a sexy were and a cool story. Not only does this novel have great action in and out of the bedroom but it also paints a bigger picture. One about destiny, true love and faith. However, in the end I was left with mixed feelings. There were a few elements that for me, really took away from the book. They weren't in my opinion necessary to the storyline and if they'd been missing I would have enjoyed reading this novel a lot more.

    The plot is original and I was pleased with its scope and depth. The author skillfully explores the past and adeptly ties the protagonists histories to the present. Everything that readers need to know in order to fully appreciate the story is covered in a way that's not only informative but also captivating. All of the main characters have colorful pasts and reasons for why they're living the lives that they are. The characters are well developed and you'll never feel lost. The pace fits the storyline well and all of the puzzle pieces show up and fit together in a natural order.

    Nick Radford is definitely drool worthy. He's got the looks, the confidence and the whole knight in shining armor persona going for him. His past is a sad one and as a result he's just trying to do the best that he can to do some good in the world. Radford fully expects his immortal life to end in flames but, he plans to take the demon who's responsible for his lot in life with him as his final act. There's also plenty of hot and heavy action between Nick and Kyla. So not only is he a great man but he's also a great lover! Yes, I may have a tiny crush on Radford.

    Aside from the great plot and yummy hero there are a few less than desirable elements in this book. I felt the story had a sort of native american side to it that didn't fit into the action very well. In the midst's of danger, Kyla would light candles, take a bath and consult her "spirit guide". Like most visions, they're cryptic and not very helpful. I just found it ridiculous that in the middle of a fate-of-the-world battle the heroine's big move is to soak in bubbles. Secondly, there's a lot of drama between Nick and Kyla. Which is not unusual in paranormal romance, but in this case I found it tiresome. They'd argue over the same issues over and over again. There was little to no growth on the romantic end of things. The relationship between the two main characters just went in an endless loop. Kyla and Radford felt like a Hollywood couple in that they're on-again/off-again through the whole book until the ending.

    That being said, I did enjoy this book and think that it's a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. If spiritual visions are your thing then you'll definitely find something in this story for you. However, I found that this element took away from the tale and because of it I didn't enjoy this novel as much as I could have. Just when things were getting juicy the spirit guide would show up to throw some water on the fire. A good read overall but it had the potential to be great.
