Nicole Callahan, mate to fierce and brooding VC Warrior Damon DeMasters, has been trying to find her place in his world. Without a doubt, it’s been interesting, but she believes there’s a lot more she can offer the children she spent so much of her human life fighting for. The Mate series delves into the kickass world of the Warriors’ mates and how united, they can make a difference—just like their badass Protectors. Follow along to see how these exceptional women’s newfound freedom affect those around them and which Warrior may or may not support their feisty independent mate’s new and exciting path.

While this title is listed under The Protectors series, it is actually the first in The Mates which gives readers an update on what's happening in the life of the mates of these lethal warriors and the difficulties they face as the one true love of an overbearing, over=protective alpha male. I love The Protectors series and am excited to read ore from the POV of their female counterparts.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Warriors’ Mates❣️
Reviewed in Australia on 2 March 2019

I have always loved the VC Warriors and their mates and I was pleasantly surprised when Teresa mentioned she was doing a series that was going to feature the mates of those kickass Warriors! Nicole and Damon are the first to find each other, so it only stands to reason that Nicole is first on this list😀

Nicole was human before Damon turned her and after that happened she left the Agency she worked for and only helped out on occasion. She now feels as though she will not be herself if she doesn’t go back! So of course in typical Nicole fashion, she doesn’t mention anything to Damon....heads are going to roll 😂....and first day back, she needs his help as well as the other Warriors. Suffice to say dangers aplenty in this one and a few familiar issues between couples that have quite worked themselves out yet. A good story and I’m looking forward to learning more about Viktor and also to read Tessa....who I hope will be next up❣️

This book seemed to have a more serious undertone to it than the original series, but in saying that I still really enjoyed it. I loved having Nicole show her strong character and still be with a strong alpha male and met half way with each other. I am excited to see the other female books because I am very worried about some of the female/male relationships.

Reviewed in Australia on 28 February 2019

I had such high hopes for this book. I just felt it was very rushed and some of the jokes are sadly way over used and are no longer funny. It needs fresh material.

I LOVE the protectors series. The series has some of the best one liners I’ve ever read and always makes me laugh. I have however been finding more and more mistakes with the story line as the series goes on.

I really hope she slows down her writing and pays attention to what she has said in the past cos it’s getting to be a very messy series. Which is a shame cos it was once one of my favourite series i could read a few times a year.

Absolutely brilliant the way Teresa Gabelman can animate her characters & bring them to life in her books. I always feel like I'm right there in the mix. The Protector Series was again brilliant & stan-alone books each & every one of them BUT had to read about all the guys & their lives. This new series The Mates adds on to the whole atmosphere of the Protector Series & is so incredibly complete. One book will never be enough though !! I can't [& don't want to] put the book/s down. I just want to be left in peace & read !!! Enjoy as much as I did. A time to laugh, to cry But mostly to enjoy !!

There is an uprising at the VC headquarters and misogyny is at the forefront. Nicole is going back to her old job of child placement and immediately runs into trouble.

An awesome read and great addition to this series!!
I am a bit late for The Mates series. I have read all the protectors up to Bishop and well I told myself I didn't need to read about the mates. Boy was I wrong I mean seriously wrong....haha!!
For me this book has it all.....drama, action, suspense, tears (yes, I'm a cry baby) but also laughter. Of course with darling Steve in there how could we not laugh, the sexy times between Nicole and Damon were...HOT!!
So on to the next adventure, I'm gonna be busy playing catch up but I am so looking forward to it!!

I Like how hard Nicole fought for the right to be herself. The Mates definitely need to kick some behind and take no prisoners. It’s time the good old boys learnt a hard lesson, I like that Damon learnt it pretty quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starting in the Middle can be good....

This series follows on from The Protectors, where we are introduced to the VC Warriors, starting with Damon. This follow up series has all the VC Warriors we've come to know and love, but is more written from their partner's point of view, hence "The Mates" series moniker, and of course, we start with Nicole, Damon's mate. I would suggest reading the first series first if you haven't, as many of the in-jokes won't be as funny without the background (Sid and Steve).

On the whole, I really enjoyed this book, it's well written, moves along at a good pace, has a number of plot twists and side bars, opens up a whole new realm of possibilities, deals with a few issues that were left hanging in previous books, and adds depth to their relationship. I really hope that there will be a second book (Tessa's please!) really soon. On a plus point for me, a Kindle reader, this book has been well edited, and each page came out the same size, with the same spacing and there were very few grammatical errors or typos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicole, le retour version badass
Reviewed in France on 3 March 2019

Les Protectors du point des vue des "mates" ? Je pensais comme un certain nombre à un redit, mais non, pas du tout, on reprend les couples d'origine pour de nouvelles aventures et ces messieurs n'ont qu'à bien se tenir. Ils ont la force physique mais face à leur moitié ils obéissent même si ça ne se fait pas sans compromis.
"Nicole" donne une nouvelle dynamique à la série, car je dois dire que les derniers volumes avec les sorciers et l'arrivée de nouveaux personnages sans trop de background commun avec les autres, m'avaient laissé un peu sur ma faim.
Il me tarde de lire Tessa (ça risque d'être explosifs), Pam mais surtout Jill et Slade qui forment mon couple préféré pour l'instant.
PS : attention, livre addictif, quand vous le commencez, difficile de vous arrêter.
