Wilder’s Mate by Moira Rogers
Think a vampire-hunting bloodhound is dangerous? Try threatening his woman.
Bloodhounds, Book 1
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.
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.

l did a swap for Afterlife, can't wait to get it!!
can you believe I have never read a western? I know, right? Sad…This might have to be my first 😉
I've read a couple YA steampunk books and I'm going to be reading another middle grade steampunk book next.
Have never read Steampunk. I think this is going to change—-Wilder's Mate sounds awesome!
I'm looking forward to reading Wilder's Mate! And I think the cover for The Spy Who Loved Her is very pretty 🙂
I think the only steampunk I've read is The Iron Duke (Meljean Brook.) I highly recommend it.
Wilder's Mate will be my first attempt at reading steampunk. Since it has paranormal and western elements I think I will really like it.

WM looks really good.
My first steampunk was THE IRON DUKE. Loved, loved, loved it!!
I haven't tried any Steampunk yet but I've heard such good things about it that I've put it on my Book Depository wishlist (which I have sent to my mum as I have a birthday coming soon hint hint). 🙂
Wilder's Mate first crossed my path yesterday & I know I must read this. It look's amazing.

@BooksforCompany Afterlife is a YA right? I think i confuse myself between this one and another with the same name but for Adult. weird.
@Sharon S Well I'd read other novellas by Moira Rogers that had a Western feel. But Wilder's Mate is completely different. I hope you'll like it.=)
@Jenny N. I've never read a YA Steampunk. You liked those you read?
@Estella Woot!! I'm not sure it's realy Steampunk per say but its close. And it rocks! so have fun =)

@LSUReader Ohh I have the Iron Duke but still haven't read it. I have to hurry and read it soon.
@GeishasMom73 YAY I hope you'll love it too =) Susi and I really loved it.
