- The Mating
on Dec. 31, 2010
A very enjoyable read. Different from other series that have been written in this genre. In my opinion this book is better than what I've seen from established and published authors. The story moved along nicely and I had a hard time putting it down. I felt that the 2 main characters, Kane and Elise, had great chemistry and the passion between them felt real and not forced. It was nicely written. Looking forward to reading The Keeping and other books in the series. Thanks for the great freebie Nicky Charles!

Wow!! Terrific book and continuation of the series. I loved The Mating, but The Keeping was even better. So different from anything I've read in the paranormal genre, and I have read a lot, YA and adult reads. The main characters in the first book, Elise and Kane, and Ryne and Melody in the second, have great chemistry. The secondary characters are not just in the background, they are significant to the story line, as is re-visiting the beloved characters from The Mating. Such vivid and well thought out descriptions of everything, their surroundings and lifestyle, draws you into their world. I had a hard time putting this book down. I finished both books in 3 days and would have been done in 2, but work and daily chores were calling. Some many questions were answered, yet so much is unresolved, which means that this series has got a lot of life left in it. We know that The Finding is in the works (so looking forward to it), but our other weres need their stories told too! So, Nicky Charles you have got yourself some serious fans, and we NEED you to continue this story. Thank you for offering your books for free, in my opinion you put some of these well paid authors and publishers to shame. I would give you more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you to Smashwords for a great site. It is easy to use and navigate. Love the Prude filter, nice option, even though I don't use it. I have spread the word about your site and look forward to using it in the future.

Very good story and nicely told. As always Nicky Charles’ words flow effortlessly, and she is exceptionally descriptive. I missed the dialogue and passion that were so prominent in the first two books, but the story took a different direction, more suspense than romance. I always love it when you get to revisit with the main characters from previous books, and they were all present throughout the story. Her other books had more of a steam factor, and this one was lacking in that respect. Being this is a story about werewolves I guess I’ve come to expect it considering their primal nature. I would love to see her continue the series, not only do I think Sam has story, but Daniel and Tessa too! It was an enjoyable read. Keep writing Nicky Charles...you have a lot of fans.

Very good, I only wish it was longer. I could see Draken and Lara's story as the start of a series...

5 THIRLLING STARS! RIVETING! If you like looking into the mind of a psychotic, manipulating, lying, tormenting, knife-wielding villain…than this is the book for you. I damn near snapped my Kindle in half, because I wanted to kill Jack myself! He is evil personified behind a charming personality, a pretty face and he’s gunnin’ for Kate. That in itself is a mystery and when it is revealed it will have you gasping for a breath. It did me. Nathan is brought into the mix by association, when he goes looking for answers about his past. This book is so well written, that the author draws you into the minds of these characters. You feel Jack’s rejection and hate, Kate’s pain and strength, and Nathan’s hurt and confusion. When I didn’t think it could get any worse, it did. The circumstances and pasts of these characters are exposed little by little, and makes for some nail-biting moments. I wanted to hurry the story along, because I needed someone to come and be Kate’s savior. When Nathan does appear, he’s not quite sure what’s real and what isn’t, because Jack is the master manipulator. So, will Nathan save Kate, or will Kate save Nathan? You’ll find the answers in this suspenseful read. This read is brutal and not for the weak. It is not a romantic suspense, but more of a thriller with a smidge of romance, and I LOVED it!
