Warning: Contains one-hot headed leopard, a man who thought he’d lost it all, and a woman who is about to rub up against both in the best possible ways.

My Review:

This is my first time reading anything from Lia Davis and definitely not my last! A Mating Dance is hot, sexy, emotional, touching, exciting and very sensual. A definite must read for any fans of ménage, erotic paranormal or just a different and great read :)

Cameron and Blaine are mates. They've not yet mated by Cameron’s choice, but are close and a great couple. There are a few things preventing Cameron from that last mating step. One of them being an incident from the past that lingers. Another being fear. When Graham comes into the picture it both adds to her holding off the mating and brings forth feelings of completion. A triad is not unheard of among their people. But can Cameron deal with not just one, but two alpha males?

I really enjoyed this trios chemistry. They really work well together, balance one another in the very best of ways. I look forward to the rest of the series!

Lia interviews Blaine from A Mating Dance

Hi! It is so great to be here today. I’ve brought Blaine along for a little interview. *leans forward and whispers* I’ll try to get some yummy details about how his mated life is going.

Blaine: I heard that.

Lia: *blinks innocently* Whatever are you talking about?

Blaine: *one corner of his mouth twitches* My mated life is going well.

Lia: Care to share any details?

Blaine: No.

Lia: How does it feel to have two mates?

Blaine: Like it would to you if you had two of yours.

Lia: *shakes my head* This isn’t about me.

Blaine: Why does it have to be about me?

Lia: *takes a deep breath and counts* because you are the interviewee and I’m the interviewer.

Blaine: So, I out rank you in the Pack.

Lia: I see I’ll have to call Cam.

Blaine: *narrows his eyes* Why?

Lia: Because you are being difficult and she can always make you behave.

Blaine: *laughs* She doesn’t make me do anything.

*I raise my brows*

Next question.

Lia: How are the kids? Has Max warmed up to you yet?

Blaine: Little man told me he wanted to an enforcer just like Cam and me the other day.

Lia: Aww. He is too cute. What did you tell him?

Blaine: *nods* yes, he is. I told him that he would grow up to much more important to the Pack than an enforcer.

 Lia: What’s your favorite color?

Blaine: What kind of question is that?

Lia: it’s a fun question. Now, answer it.

Blaine: *growls softly* Blue.

Lia: See? That wasn’t hard. Coffee or tea?

Blaine: Coffee

Lia: Thanks for come with me and…not answering my questions.

Blaine: *smirks* Anytime. *leans in and whispers* My mates are very much a part of me and it feels great. *he kisses me on the cheek and stands*

Lia: Thanks.

*He nods and leaves the room.*

It was great to be here. Thanks so much for us over.

Excerpt:

Cameron sat at Dani and Nevan’s dining table with Max balanced on one knee as she helped him cut his waffle, dip it into the syrup, and bring it to his mouth. When he dropped the fork and stuck his hand in the syrup, she squeaked and grabbed his wrist. Graham came over with a wet cloth to clean him up. Max grunted his frustration then gripped Cam’s hair with his sticky fingers, tangling his fingers around the strands. “Oh, Max.” Cameron stood, only to come nose-to nose with Graham.

Her skin heated and her heart skipped a few beats. His blue eyes darkened slightly, then a flash of bright blue told her that his puma wasn’t far from the surface.

Graham gripped Max’s hand and tried to unwrap her hair from his sticky fingers. Cameron laughed, trying to ignore the heat blooming between them. “You’re making it worse.”

Graham drew his brows together, making him even more handsome. She let her gaze travel over the masculine lines of his face. His skin was tanned, as though he worked long hours in the sun. He had high cheekbones and an average size nose that was just right for him. When her gaze fell on his lips, she wondered what they would feel like against hers. His lips were slightly full, the bottom one begging for her to bite it. When his blue gaze met hers, a wash of desire rushed through her, heating her skin even more.

Good Lord, what the hell was wrong with her? She had a mate, or could have one if she’d get past her commitment issues. She damn sure didn’t need another.

The front door opened, drawing her attention to Blaine as he walked in and shut the door behind him. Cameron immediately met his glare with one of her own.

Damn possessive male.

She stepped away from Graham and went to the kitchen sink to wet her hair and untangle Max’s hands. A moment later Blaine was at her side, he pressed a kiss to her cheek and then took Max from her. Her heart lurched as the little guy started crying and kicking his feet.

Graham appeared and took the wailing child from Blaine, and Cameron swore she heard a growl come from one of them.

Drying the ends of her hair with a kitchen towel, Cam stepped between them, giving Blaine a narrow-eyed glare. “Are you done?”

His leopard flashed in his eyes, and he leaned in to growl, “Not with you.”
