#BookReview – ‘Ethan’s Mate’ by JS Scott

Blurb

Ethan Hale is a vampire with a mission. Together with his three brothers and a few other unmated members, he fights with The Vampire Coalition to protect humans from fallen vampires. His life is fairly simple. If he has a problem...he solves it. If it's an evil problem...he kills it. But his uncomplicated life is about to end when his mate unexpectedly calls him to her.

Brianna Cole is weak, her life force fading away. She thinks she is suffering from a rare form of leukemia. Little does she knows that her illness is much more complicated. She's dying because she has not united with her vampire mate and given him his soul that she has been guarding since birth.

Ethan finds Brianna and knows he needs to convince her to mate or watch her die. He's waited for her for five hundred years and he has no intention of letting her go, but she is not in any shape for the dominate, volatile mating ceremony with a vampire. He will have to win the race against time to strengthen Brianna and a battle with a stalking fallen to claim his mate. He is also at war with his mating instincts that make him burn to dominate and conquer her. But Ethan is determined, and the stubborn vampire will do whatever is necessary to possess his soul bonded mate...forever.

Review

In the first book in The Vampire Coalition series, 500 year old vampire Ethan Hale has been waiting for his mate, the human woman who houses his soul in her body. If he doesn’t find her before she turns thirty year old, she’ll die, and he’ll lose her forever. But the only way a vampire can find his mate is if she psychically calls out to him.

Brianna Cole is dying from a rare blood disease at 28 years old. Though she calls out to a stranger in her dreams, begging him for help, she never expected to wake up and find that gorgeous stranger in her apartment. She’s not afraid of Ethan or what he represents, but deep down, she knows she should be.

Brianna is a strong woman, especially given all she’s been through. Ethan is desperate for the mate and the happily ever after he never thought he would be lucky enough to find. Their love bloomed fast, and she accepted the “vampire world” very easily, which seemed a little unbelievable, but it fit well for this fast-paced story.

There were a few typos and head hopping, but otherwise the writing flowed smoothly. The sex scenes were soooo hot. I definitely plan to check out more of Ms. Scott’s books.
