Collared and controlled, Shifters are outcast from humanity, forced to live in Shiftertowns. But waiting within are passions that no collar can contain. Like most Shifters, Liam Morrissey has learned that trusting humans leads to no good. But when beautiful attorney Kim Fraser enters Shiftertown alone in order to prove her client's innocence, Liam's alpha nature leaves him no choice but to offer his protection.

OMG
this is a bril read in the sense that its not like other shifter/breed like book
the shifters are treated less than humans which is a new approach on these.
I brought this book and could not put it down and was quickly back on amazon and downloading the rest of the series.
All these books have great lead characters that have more to them then being shifters or helpless females.
Only downside ive got is that the next book isn't out yet so im back to searching for the next good read :)

I've never read anything from this author before and I wonder why not. This was a great start to a brand new series. It was hot, sexy and full of lovable characters. I loved the background story too and i'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes. I'm buying the next book straight away.

'Pride Mates' is the first of a new series by Jennifer Ashley about shifters (half human, half animal) who are forced, by humans, to wear 'collars' that are used to contain their considerable powers.
I had hoped that this series might equal to Nalini Singh's Psy-Changleing series, but unfortunately, it didn't come close. I thought the plot had a lot of potential, but there wasn't enough depth to the writing to really get the reader invested in the characters and their plights. The plot ended up being weak as there was too much going on, while nothing was really delved into with any satisfaction, thereby giving me the feeling that I was merely reading a summary of events rather than anything substantial.
The characters also felt quite two dimensional and at times I felt myself thinking 'that is so unrealistic' (all thoughts of shifters aside!) I thought Kim's immediate surrender to Liam was also a bit unimaginative and there didn't seem to be any real source of conflict between the two, even when there was plenty call for it. Kim didn't even blink an eye when she found out that Liam had basically 'claimed her for his own' irrevocably, without any real acceptance on Kim's part beforehand. I also found the romance to be quite unbelievable at times as I didn't feel any real chemistry between the two.
The thing that irked me the most however was Liam's so-called 'Irish' accent. Now, I'm sorry, but I'm Irish myself, and I have never heard anyone use the word "lass" or say "top o' the morning to you"!?
Overall 'Pride Mates' could be a light, easy read to tide you over while waiting for the next book in your favorite series, but I wouldn't expect anything spectacular from it.

Great read
I loved this book!!! I would put it in the same category as the Black Dagger Brotherhood - brooding gorgeous males to do over but also a very good story to go along with it! Read more

Love it
Only bad thing that I can say is that Kim was way too excepting of a situation that she knew nothing about. Bar that a fantastic read like with all jennifer Ashley`s books!

I don't understand others comments - this book is witty, fast paced and the characters just well developed enough for the length. Read more

Mild entertainment and a bit of brogue
So once again I wish we could give half a star. Given the option I would have rated this book 3 and 1/2 stars rather than the full four as I've rated better books at 4 in the past... Read more

Pride Mates
Interesting concept but a lot of sex. If you can separate the story from the explicit descriptions, its not half bad. Read more

predictable shapeshifter tale, nothing spectacular
Firstly if you are thinking that this story might be along the same lines as Nalini Singh, you will be mistaken, it is a poor comparison. Read more
