Nixona, elf Princess of Dorthon, is looking for a good time, specifically sex. For one last time before she's forced to marry Vasile, she wants to be with someone of her choosing who wants her in return. She knows from the moment she hears Boone and Cort's voices that they're the ones she's going home with. What she didn't expect is waking up in heat the morning after. Finding one mate, let alone two, was the last thing she expected. Now, she has to fight the evil Vasile while trying to prove to her mates that she's not just a pampered princess, but a force to be reckoned with.

Boone and Cort are the love 'em and leave 'em type who regularly share women without another thought of them once the sex is over. After one night with Nix, they can't stop thinking about her and that is definitely new for them. While they are on a stakeout, they witness a kidnapping in progress and the victim is none other than the woman occupying their thoughts. When they try to save her, they are shocked to find themselves turning into furry monsters with no idea of what is happening to them. They discover a whole new world they never knew existed and a whole bunch of feelings they never believed possible.

Mating Heat was passionate and tantalizing with a great cast and a magical plot. Nix was a spitfire heroine who could kick major butt and be capable of great love and compassion for her mates. Cort and Boone were nothing but sexy and I found the passion between them scorching hot. I found their attraction to each other as well as their uncertainty about being with a man for the first time even sexier. The three-way sex with Nix had me blushing and eagerly anticipating their next encounter. If you're looking for a searingly sexy read, look no further than Mating Heat.
