Filled with tension and tenderness, drama and hope, Marked brings the reader everything one could hope for in a romance, from the tenuous beginning to the dramatic, satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend it! --Two Lips Reviews

...Liam and Alec are interesting men and it was fun reading about them - especially during those lava hot moments they share. Pick up Marked the next time you go shopping for an unusual werewolf story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marked by Joely Skye, March 19, 2008

By	Elisa (Italy) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is I think the most unusual werewolf story I have ever read. Alec is a young gay man. We don't have much physical description about him, but I can imagine him like a nice guy, handsome but not stunning. And he has had a very bad experience one year before with a quad of rogue werewolfes which has left him with scars on the body and in the mind. He fears anything and anyone. So when Liam, the older brother of a child he has known in the library where he works, begins to approach him, Alec reacts badly.To be true Liam is not much of a word, and his sexual approaches are a little rough. But Alec, despite his mind screams abuse, finds his body react to this man.

Liam is a very young (24 years old) and very hansome man. He could have anyone he wants but he has a strange behaviour and most people go away after the first encouter. And now he has a little brother to take care and so it's almost two years that he hasn't met no one. But what he draws him to Alec, is not only sexual need, it's also the calling of his mate. Cause Liam is a werewolf and now he has to protect not only his little brother from the rogue quad, but also his new-found mate.

Liam is an alpha male but he really doesn't act like that. He is tender and uncertain. He has strong feeling and hard reaction, but he is also very young, so he really doesn't understand all what happening around him. Alec is somewhat more adult, but he has fear. He doesn't trust no one, but he is not a bad man, so when Ian approaches him more like a wrestler than a lover, his first impulse is to refuse him, but then he maybe sees the need of physical contact in the eye of the younger man.

I really have some problem to well describe what has drawn me in this book. It's maybe the writing style, or the strong connection I can feel between the two characters. It's maybe the fact that both men are really strong but at the same time they show weakness and a need to be hold into the arms of a lover. The sexy is very hot, but "realistic": they fight and then they make sex and after sex they are too tired to continue the fight... a really good way to stop the fighting!

Wow. I was hooked from page one. I love it when an author throws me on an emotional rollercoaster. A fast-paced story and unexpected plot twists. A must-read!

By	J. Peragine "Cornwall Gal" (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been reading a few e-books now and then and I came across this one. I have really been enjoying the m/m stories. Skye writes the story well. I was impressed and look forward to reading more of her books.
