I was so excited to see how this installment played out for the entire pack and I have to say I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. The big question hanging over the pack centered around whom Ashley would pick for a mate and making sure she was protected from the enemies that descended on their territory. It becomes evident the minute you meet the other pack that they are nothing like what we have come to learn from those within her pack. They are out for two things and they are the things Ashley has come to respect the most from her pack -> safety and a home. Watching her entire pack defend her really got my heart rate pumping and to add to the heat level just wait until Blake and Ashley take a moment to check on the dessert after a stressful joint dinner. The biggest change in this book is that another female is thrown into the mix and it becomes clear that the pack she is with has zero respect for her feelings in the whole mess. Grace is a bit of a game changer and really makes Ashley realize what her heart has been trying to tell her from the beginning -> Blake has built their relationship on trust and that speaks volumes for what he wants.

I will say that once she is defended and then Blake decides to take off I was a little pissed myself, but I also see what had to happened before everything could finally align correctly. The MMF scene with Blake, Lucas and Ashley was off the charts!! The best part of the whole story was finally seeing the last of the walls Ashley and Blake had come crashing down and the true nature of their relationship coming to the front. I wonder in the spin-off series if we will get more of Grace and Mac -> as they seem like two lost souls that would be awesome together and don't forget Conner in that whole mix.

If you are looking for a great fast pace paranormal series with some serious heat look no farther than Protecting Their Mate and make sure you have time for plenty of cold showers afterwards!!

I have to admit that I devoured this series, and am quite happy that I was able to read them back to back. The final installment had the same amount of heat and heart as the first two, but there was bit more angst flowing through the pages as Ashley and her wolf finally decide on a mate. While the smexy was HAWT. I enjoyed being apart of Ashley’s evolution from a timid woman who always had to tamp down her ingrained nature to a woman who embraced all that she was and went after what/who she truly wanted.

Moira Rogers aka Kit Rocha put out there that if you ever wondered what the paranormal version of the O’Kane’s would be then all you had to do was check this series out and they were absolutely correct. This is erotic paranormal romance at it’s best and I’m very happy that I got to read it all in one shot and can’t wait to see what the rest of the series brings!

From the moment that Ashley became a part of the werewolf pack, life has taken on a whole new meaning. No longer an outcast for her were traits, Ashley is learning that her desires are completely natural. Blake and the rest of the pack have shown Ashley that it’s a part of life to long for desire and a sense of belonging. With desperately trying to find a mate, Ashley and Blake have fallen for one another. A hazard if her were side chooses another as her mate.

Now a rival pack is threatening to take what is ‘theirs’. Another road block that couldn’t have come at a worse time for the pack. Testing the waters further to see if she will be mated to a member of the pack, Ashley can only hope that her wolf will lead her back to Blake again.

What can I say about Moira Rogers ? Bree and Donna have enthralled me with their Beyond Series, so I was definitely ‘all in’ where this paranormal series is concerned. Ashley and Blake heat things up in this installment (well…they pretty much do that in all every installment). Readers will not be able to stop themselves from hoping their favorite wolf becomes Ashley’s mate. There is no one that writes a ménage better than these two ladies. If you are looking for a scorching hot round of sex…then make sure you pick up this serial today!!

Exciting and hot conclusion to this amazing Wolf-pack shifter romance.
Ashley is enjoying exploring her wolf side and choosing her mate has become more fun than she first anticipated. But a visiting pack cause trouble and the risk of danger is ever present for every one.
A steamy story, extremely sexy and raw, Ashley finds out what it truly means to belong to the pack, and her choice of mate is the man she loves but her wolf demands she be tested. An entertaining story with an unpredictable ending, it's never a sure thing who Ashley will pick. Great reading!

content: MF, MFM, gangbang, multiple partners

This review is for the final installment but some of the following thoughts come after reading all three parts of the story as a whole. After reading the second installment I was hesitant to jump into this final part of Ashley’s story. Her story just seemed to have stalled out for me. After a few days I started this. Once again I was greeted with the debauchery of pack life. Don’t get me wrong...I love erotica...it’s what I read 99% of the time, but I still need an engaging plot. This had so much promise but I feel the sex overshadowed the potential. On the plus side, the reader is given a deeper glimpse into other pack members pasts. We are also introduced to few new characters. I am happy to say that this story did end with a little suspense, action, and of course some treachery. I see a lot of promise with this series. I think breaking it up in installments hurts the overall enjoyment of the story. I’m crossing my fingers that future books are released as one novel per couple/story.

This is part three of a serialised novel so I really wouldn't recommend reading it if you haven't read the first two parts, it's also worth noting that this serial was previously published under the pen name Mia Thorne and although it has a nice new cover the content hasn't changed so there's no need to buy it again if you've read the previous incarnation. Now we've got that out of the way I'm going to say if you like your paranormal romance hot and steamy then this is definitely the series for you, you may actually be familiar with these authors under their other pen name Kit Rocha and if you are a fan of the Beyond books then you're going to love this one too!

Since her rescue Ashley has really started to embrace her werewolf side thanks to Blake and the rest of his pack. They've taught her that her desires are natural and nothing to be ashamed of and now she's started to realise how wonderful life can be surrounded by other shifters. Her wolf still hasn't decided on a mate though and as much as her heart now belongs to Blake they're both worried her wolf will choose another. To add to an already stressful situation they also have to deal with the arrival of a rival pack in their territory, a pack who seem very eager to claim Ashley for themselves.

I really enjoyed the final instalment of this serial, its been great to see how much Ashley has grown in confidence since the beginning and I've really enjoyed meeting all five of the men in her new pack. While I think Blake and Ashley are perfect for each other I've also enjoyed her experiences with the rest of the pack and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them all find mates of their own. It's actually hard to decide which of the wolves I like the most, they all have unique qualities that draw me to them but I have a feeling that I'm probably going to love Mac and Connor's story the most. What can I say, I just love the way these authors write a triad relationship (Ace, Cruz and Rachel from the Beyond series are still my all time favourites!) so I have great expectations for these two when they find a woman who is willing to take them both on!

This is definitely one of the hottest series that these authors write as Moira Rogers but there is also a nice amount of romance between the main couple and some fun world building as we learn more about the werewolves and how they live. If you're not a fan of multiple partners then this series isn't for you but if you're open to a world where that isn't just accepted but also encouraged (all completely consensual, don't worry there's no dubious content) then you should give this serial a try.

Review:

Exciting conclusion to this three part tale of Ashley and Blake.

I will state this again, these need to be read in order. Jumping to the end, I am happy to see that the series will be continuing and cannot wait to see what happens with the rest of the pack and finding their mates.

I will say without giving away too much of the storyline is.... If you have read the first two parts things get exciting with the other pack coming to visit and Ashley and her wolf finally make the decision on who her mate is.

The story is sexy, dramatic, action-packed, and emotional everything you need to make a well-rounded story. These Authors never disappoint.

Ok, so like parts 1 and 2, i was sent a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I feel like my reviews are getting shorter and shorter, because really my thoughts keep overlapping. Much like the first two books, this installment had a lot of sex with little substance for me. The characters didn't develop much. At least not the main ones. Some of the secondary characters were elaborated a bit which was nice, but that doesn't help with this story, it just helps to perhaps lure you in to the next books in the series.

Which, I don't know if this format will be a consistent thing with these books, because I really don't like it. It didn't feel like three separate books, or even a trilogy, it felt like one book that was just lopped into three parts for some reason. I'm hoping that reason isn't just to get more money on sales, because I respect and like Moira Rogers and I would hate for something like that to have been the reason for such a weird choice.

I didn't really expect to have different feelings for this book compared to parts 1 and 2, and I was right. It's really more of the same, which was disappointing for me, but I know a lot of people out there would eat this story up.

The sex in Part 3 is as steamy as in the rest of the story, and Ashley continues to explore her sexuality with all five other members of the pack. A deeper plot comes back a little here, which I thought was good - it got a bit lost in Part 2, I think. The threat of another pack who have made contact throws up some issues in this part of the story, as does the fact that the other pack have a female wolf of their own. Ashley's pack suspect that the other female might not be there willingly, so they come up with a plan to get to the bottom of things, and fix it if need be.

I love all the sexiness in this book, but I need plot, not just porn, so I was glad to have the additional conflicts become an equally large aspect of Part 3 as the quest for Ashley to find her mate is. I will read on in the series - the sequel is coming out later this year - but it'll be as a cheer-me-up, guilty pleasure sort of read, not because I'm desperate to find out what happens next with any aspects of the story.

I'm giving part three, and Protecting Their Mate as a whole, 6 out of 10.

What an exciting conclusion this turned out to be!

As Ashley and Blake are trying to navigate their way to finding out if they are mates, a new threat arises that could tear them apart before they've even had the chance to figure things out. This invading pack has a hidden agenda, but they also have a female of their own that they are looking to trade for Ashley. And if they aren't careful, the invaders may just try to take them both.

So this last installment of Blake and Ashley's story had plenty of suspense and action, as well as some seriously steamy moments too. I thought it was exciting, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Oh, and that scene with Blake, Lucas, and Ashley was a scorcher and one you won't want to miss! Trust me! Overall, I really enjoyed this world and I cannot wait for the rest of the pack to find their mates. I'm definitely eager to see what is going to happen with Grace, because I just don't know right now if she will ever be capable of moving beyond her torture but I'm interested to see if she can.

🔥🔥PARANORMAL GENRE HAS NOW BEEN ADDED TO THE LIST OF GENRES I LOVE🔥🔥
This series has been different for me, because I don't normally read paranormal or shifting series, but this one has kept my full attention....until the end....I think it has given me insight to this type of genre, and has most definitely made me a fan....🔥🔥
Book Three, not only ties up the loose ends for this series, but it also introduces us to characters for a spin off series....I never give the readers of my reviews spoilers, because reading a new book gives us a new experience, and I want every reader to see it through their eyes only just as I did.....🔥🔥
I realize I'm a novice to this genre of lit, but I LOVED this series, and if this is even just the normal example, I'm a fan.....However, I believe this one has to be above the norm...otherwise, I would have "found" and become a fan of this genre a long time ago....Read this series....I'm going on to the spin off series ...and I feel like I have a handle on this genre now, and I'm really glad I was turned toward it.
Thanks , Moira Rogers....you are an excellent author, and I'm a fan...🔥🔥

Just perfect this third installment of the novel "Protecting Their Mate": intense, hot, with a little bit of danger and fight created by a possible threat for Ashley because of the pack of wolves we read at the end of part 2.
Ashley is happy to live with her new pack, a new life full of freedom and love, even though she hasn’t discovered who could be her mate within the wolves she met.
Her heart pushes her toward Blake, but for once her wolf can give free rein to her instinct and she wants to let go completely, with the coming of the full moon and its lure
This part of the story is scorching hot, thanks to amazing sex scenes, written so… so good by the Moira Rogers duo, but also I can’t help myself to fall in love with each one of this wolves who worship Ashley and care so much for her.
Blake has always been the my favorite among them, so dominant, possessive, passionate and protective, but also unselfish and loyal with his alpha and his pack.
If you love erotic novels with overwhelming wolves this is the perfect book for you.
I can’t wait to read about every characters I met in this story, they intrigued me a lot and I want to find out so much more!

Things are looking a little tense for our guys--all of them, not just Blake and Ashley--when another pack descends on the homestead. Not only are Lucas's wolves worried because Ashley's wolf still hasn't picked any of them to mate with, putting her in a vulnerable position, but the other pack has a female of their own and...things don't seem right about the way things are going down.

To throw another added layer of tension onto the pile, the thought that Ashley might be Lucas's mate is KILLING Blake. Until they all let go and she tests her wolf against his, they just don't know how things are going to end up. Needless to say, they're all on edge and Blake's more than half in love with Ashley and losing her if she goes to the alpha will probably break him.

But it's not all doom and gloom. We're given PLENTY of sexy times. We're introduced to our next heroine. There's fighting and more fighting and FUN IS HAD BY ALL! Yes!

In the conclusion of Protecting Their Mate, Ashley meets another wolf like her when a rival pack visits, and decisions are mating become more critical. The rival pack causes a few headaches too and forces the pack into action.

Ashley is almost sure about who her wolf wants as a mate, but there’s still one last wolf she hasn’t experienced yet. So Blake, in spite of how he really feels about Ashley decides he has to be absolutely sure that he’s the one which causes all sorts of drama.

And there’s still plenty of time between the drama for spirited sex between the pack members and Ashley. I would have liked a little more story around Ashley’s change and being in heat, but that’s a personal preference.

Overall, I liked the conclusion and the series. There was some nice world building between the erotic scenes and I’m a bit curious as to where the next book in the series will go.

I loved the idea of this story… but somehow all the sex was just… too much. Don’t get me wrong, I need sex in my books, but there also need to be more than only sex. And in this case the sex scenes were regularly 'over-shadowing' the story.
I hated that this story was cut into 3 parts! I probably would have enjoyed this story more if it would have been just one book and I could have read it in one go.
Anyway... I might read a next book in the series… only hope it will be released as one book.
Rating for this part: 3 stars. Rating for Part #1, #2 and #3 together: 3 stars. Meaning: nice, but nothing special.
Absolutely loved the covers!!

Protecting Their Mate: Part Three by Moira Rogers is the conclusion of Ashley and Blake´s story.
This novella is not a stanalone. You must read part one and two first.
The book picks up where Part Two ends.
The pack has a problem. There is a rival pack that wants what Lucas´and Blake´s.
And what about Ashley? Is she now able to embrace her wolf and make a decision?
The third part in this series is just as steamy and uberhot as the previous two parts.
The book cantains mf and mfm scenes.
I greatly enjoyed reading this series. I love the characters, I love the writing and I love the words.
I give 5 star, thank you Moira Rogers !

Blake is facing a new pack that is coming to visit his and they are bring a female with them. He finds out quickly that they are not a good pack to trust.
In this book Ashley and Blake face lots of obstacles. Can their love prevail through all of the challenges? I was on the edge of my set and couldn't stop reading with excitement. This book was so hot that I was fanning myself at the same time.
Blake and Ashley's story concludes in this book, but does a story really end? This is a terrific book and introduces us to other characters that you will want to find out more about.

Finally was getting hot flashes there and those sweats no joke. Dive right in to get the relief I need to finish this delish of a tale. Ashley is the main vein with her getting her needs dialed in. Now also though there is more that enters into this picture because we haven't had enough yet. Since she and her pack have grown and developed it will be on the edge for us who and what. You fall in love with everyone though so this author has made us into mush with all the love. But that is what is needed to take care of the other bozos. How this author reels us in and hoses us down is the delight of the reading.

Ashley and Blake are continuing to grow closer, but her wolf has yet to pick a mate. Blake tries to limit his possessiveness of Ashley, to let her experience all of their pack. To let her find the strongest wolf for her wolf. But is it him? Lucas? Judd?

Before she can decide, danger comes to their pack's land. Another pack wants to meet, and they're bringing another female wolf with them. Are they friend, or foe?

I loved part 3. I really loved seeing how strong Ashley has become, to go after what she wants. I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the pack!

I liked this final installment, but not as much as the previous ones. Blake and Ashley are faced with a few more challenges and Ashley continues to "try out" the rest of the pack to rule them out as a mate. There's so much sexing going on that at times I needed more STORY to get me through. But in the end, when Ashley and Blake finally realize they are mates, the fireworks and intensity of that scene is white hot!

This is book 3 in this series.And wow was it good! In this book I really feel Ashley found her true wolf self. No longer a timid human girl she really found her confident she-wolf. With the new pack threat she is under pressure to find her mate while her heart tells her Blake is it for her there is still one wolf she hasn't experienced.Is she meant to be with Black or is it really the Alpha?

This was a great conclusion to the series and I cannot wait to see what is in store for the pack!!

Conclusion of this Extraordinary Wolf-pack romance story

Ashley continues to explore her wolf side as her wolf chooses her mate. Trouble with a visiting pack creates danger for all and the dynamics within the pack are at risk.

Gritty and raw in term of pack dynamics; sexy and rowdy in terms of caring for Ashley. This story will entertain and electrify!!

This is the third and final part of Moira Rogers' Protecting Their Mate. With this serial, Moira Rogers is giving readers a hot, sexy paranormal read. You will want to read parts one and two before picking up this final part to enjoy all of Ashley's story.

I enjoyed this serial and this final part was the perfect wrap-up. I am a little curious to see what comes next for the secondary characters.

The female lead is named Ashley, and the male lead is Blake.Blake has now help Ashley return to their wolf pack after the pack has spent a while trying to track her and her family. Not many female wolves are left, so the males need to track the remaining females to find mates. Ashley is still in what is referred to as the mating heat or fever after she was found in the first book. The men of the pack all believe She needs to explore her sexual side in order to choose a mate. This scares the men especially Lucas the Pack leader because of an accident that happens last time they found another female wolf. So basically Ashley tests her relationship with all of the guys to see which could be her mate. In this third Volume, Ashley finally understands that she has already chosen her mate. Lucas as the leader feels that in order for Ashley to know her real mate he needs to send her true mate away. So now Ashley goes out to find her true mate, but is it too late? if you wish to know who Ashley mate is then you need to pick up all three volumes of this book and read them.

Loved this ending to a great journey for Ashley to find her mate. Blake surely has won you as his personal cheerleader. My heart and soul loved this part 3 and final leg of Blake and Ashley's journey. When you reach the end you will be ready for the next journey of the pack.
