Review: Wilder's Mate: Bloodhounds Book 1 by Moira Rogers
Wilder Harding is a bloodhound, created by the Guild to hunt down and kill vampires on America's frontier. His enhanced abilities come with a high price: on the full moon, he becomes capable of savagery beyond telling, while the new moon brings a sexual hunger that borders on madness.
Rescuing a weapons inventor from undead kidnappers is just another assignment, though one with an added complication--keeping his hands off the man's pretty young apprentice, who insists on tagging along.
At odds with polite society, Satira's only constant has been the aging weapons inventor who treats her like a daughter. She isn't going to trust Wilder with Nathaniel's life, not when the Guild might decide the old man isn't worth saving. Besides, if there's one thing she's learned, it's that brains are more important than brawn.
As the search stretches far longer than Wilder planned, he finds himself fighting against time. If Satira is still at his side when the new moon comes, nothing will stop him from claiming her. Worse, she seems all too willing. If their passion unlocks the beast inside, no one will be safe. Not even the man they're fighting to save.
I'm trying to find, just the right words to help me describe Wilder's Mate: Bloodhounds Book 1, the latest release from writing team Moira Rogers. It's not the first paranormal steampunk story I've read, but I have to say I really enjoyed it!
Think about it -- Sexy Werewolves, and Vicious Vampires all wrapped up in a historical western -- steampunk style. Roger's trademark "warning note" for this book says it all:
If you're looking for a great entry into steampunk (without giving up your love for the paranormal) - Wilder's Mate is the perfect book to start with!

Warning: This book contains a crude, gun-slinging, vampire-hunting hero who howls at the full moon and a smart, stubborn heroine who invents mad-scientist weapons. Also included: wild frontier adventures, brothels, danger, betrayal and a good dose of wicked loving in an alternate Wild West.
The chemistry between Satira and Wilder is hot right out the gate. Roger's special blend of snark and smex is perfect. Both characters reflect the thought process and culture of the Wild, Wild West, but the steampunk angle allows for creative flexibility that's just down right fun!
