Spellbound

Spellbound is another novella series by Loribelle Hunt featuring werewolves and witches. The rules are slightly different here though as there are female werewolves and most of the matings seem to involve one female and two males with sexual relations between all participants in a relationship (yes that means there are M/M scenes so if that doesn't float your boat, skip this series).

Once Bitten [Spellbound Moon 1] is the first book in the series. Liza is the daughter of a witch and a werewolf. She has some of the senses of the werewolves, but can't change shape. She also doesn't have much magic. Regardless she has fought her way up in the pack to the position of Paladin. She is sent by her pack's Alpha to retrieve his wayward son Caleb. She finds Caleb staying with another pack and that he has taken one of that pack's Alpha's younger sons as his lover. Both Calen and Zach say she is their mate but can she accept them?

In Twice Shy Harper, a witch on the run from her family, finds a safe haven with her cousin Liza and the werewolf pack. It doesn't take long for on again off again lovers Jonas and Mick to realize Harper is their mate. But Jonas wants a mate that will stand up to him and he sees Harper as week.

The third book in this trilogy is Third Time Lucky (Spellbound Moon)  which just recently was released. The last thing Gabby, a high ranking soldier in the pack, wants is a mate. The problem is she has two of them and they are determined to have her. Ethan, her werewolf mate, and Harris, her wizard mate, have set out to convince her that its time to stop running from them. The fact that she has gone into heat means her resistance will be low, but can she accept them when the heat is over?

I found it nice that this series is not at all tied in to the Lunar Mates series. I also enjoyed the fact that Ms. Hunt has come up with different series that have different "rules" for the witches and werewolves that inhabit them. I enjoyed this series though again, none of the plots are overly complicated. Of course its hard to write a truly complex plot in the space of a novella.
