About this book
Alpha werewolf Aiden Mitchell has spent years craving the vivacious Nikita Blakemore, the fierce leader of her own pack. A rugged rancher who plays by his own rules, Aiden decides it is finally time to claim his mate. He maneuvers Nikita into hosting the Mating Challenge, a brutal, high-stakes competition where the strongest warriors fight for the right to claim a female alpha. For Aiden, the prize is simple: he will win the challenge and make Nikita his own, even if he has to fight to the death to prove his worth.
However, the game is rigged from the start. Nia Blakemore, Nikita’s twin, has stepped into her sister’s shoes to protect the gentler alpha from the intensity of the competition. Haunted by a secret desire for the handsome cowboy, Nia risks everything by masquerading as her sister. She wants Aiden’s touch, but she must keep her true identity hidden to shield her twin.
This thrilling installment in the Werewolves of Montana series is a must-read for fans of paranormal romance. Packed with intense pack dynamics, a powerful alpha-hero, and a high-stakes identity swap, this story explores the dangerous line between duty and passion. Can Nia survive the challenge without exposing the deadly secret buried on their land?

The Mating challenge is the 5th book in the werewolves of Montana series By Bonnie Vanak. I have to say I was super excited when I found out I was getting the chance to review this book. I have been waiting for it for what seems like forever! The entire series is a great read with not only the sexy shifters I have grown to love, but a whole new world of Magic and fairytales. I was hooked from the first book on and this one was just as great as the others, if not better. From the moment Aiden...

I read this book as soon as it was out... But I waited to calm myself to leave my comment... I cant help to be emotional... I waited so much for this book... Sooo much... I fell in love with the whole series and with each new book I was craving more and more to see how this two powerful alphas will end together... Even with the publishing of Waiting in between that, had me pulling my hairs from anxiety... Hummm .... Maybe my expectations were too high... It had a good beginning with the...

I've finally gotten the whole story behind these two alphas. Every time these characters have encountered one another, sparks flew. The storyline was great. The conflicts kept swirling for Nikita/Nia so much it was a wonder that she didn't have ulcers. I can't wait for Tristan and the real Nikita's story. There were a few places where the author's fingers didn't match up to the story spilling from her head....omitted words or typos. It was still readable but it did interrupt the fluidity of the...

This is another awesome book in the Werewolves of Montana series. This book answers a long awaited secret that Nikita Blackmore has been keeping from Alpha male Aiden Mitchell. Filled with suspense, emotions and sexy love scenes. Fabulous and can't wait for the next one. ) 2 people found this helpful

This book was a letdown. After building up Aiden as a very virile powerful male through the entire series, she reduces him to an adolescent boy in the last part of this book. Plus from the beginning, you have the women constantly going back and forth, do we tell him the truth or not. Sounded a lot like a group of simpering teenage girls. I got so tired of reading the same argument throughout the book, I found myself skipping pages of useless dialogue. This had the makings of a good story. But...
