Her royal suitors, those chosen by her parents, must fight to the death for her hand in marriage. Sam's obligations and inner wolf are at odds. But when, she meets a sexy stranger, Sam decides forever is just what she wants--with the right wolf.

Never experiencing such desire and need, Chase is bound and determined to make Sam his, despite the laws against it. Unprepared for the snobbery of the noble families, Chase prepares for battle. Can he fight the laws and ancient tradition to win the heart of the woman he's destined to be with? Or will he die trying?

For a short story this one got me thinking on so many levels:
Why did Sam's mom lash out like that. Is she losing control of her wolf? Or did something happen to her true mate?
What's in store for Sam's sisters in finding their mates?
Will Sam's parents accept her mate? For some reason I picture them slowly walking back to her parents and more lashing out and violence towards Chase.
Will Sam have anything else to do with her parents after the way they treated her and Chase?
Will the families of the slain suitors go after Chase? Or go after Sam's father for letting this 'upstart' bone in on the run?
Will Chase be pulled back into the military and Sam go after her degree? Lots of compromise and adjustment. . .
How will the council accept Chase? Will his military service help new leadership role?
And of course I'm wondering what Sam's parents can offer as a bargaining chip for the other daughters. Cars? Land? Who will come out and die for them? Or will Chase put his foot down and say no more? Sam's chip was the council seat. So does that mean her father stepped down? Or will he?
Yup, really interested to see how this series goes. I loved the new take on true mates and how it's tested. - Dan's Wife
Chase Michaels, the bad boy of the town, the dare-devil, the dark and handsome shifter of Sin city. It has been a long time since Chase visited his home town. Growing up, he’s one of those kids who love defining gravity, in his case, rebelling against tradition, parents, teachers, pretty much everybody stood in his way. But now that he’s in his 30s, the service wore him out, life gets a little complicated, his wolf is restless, he guess what he needs now is a mate to settle down and make a home. Have some stability in his life so his family can stop worrying about him, being the oldest and all. But where is he going to find his mate? Well, as luck have it, the dark hair beauty he ran into at the airport is about to have her world turns upside down.
Chasing Sam by Krystal Shannan is the first book I read of this author. After reading this, it has become one of my well-liked author. I have to admit, for the price of admission which is $0.00 (#FREE) there were part of me that wish the book was longer. Overall, the premise of the book is great, the character personalities have dimensions and the dynamic of the scenes was well thought out and beautifully written. This author have a lot of potential and definitely would like to read more from her. Chasing Sam is a great read filled with fun adventures, I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
Sam a premed student was coming home for the Christmas Holidays and literally ran into who whom her wolf said was her mate. Chase Michaels.. His wolf said the same thing to him… But there were complications regarding any possible matching between them He was a Michaels and she was wolf Royalty a Demakis and they did not allow their female members have mates who wer not royalty.. She arrives home to h=find her parents have arranged a mate hunt for her with three eligible royal males, one from Italy, one from Brazil and one from Los Angeles.. She was furious she didn’t want a mate and if she was to have a mate she wanted to pick her own and not one chosen for political and financial gain for the families. Maybe her father would allow for Chase to be able to participate in the hunt.. but he could get killed and she could not live with her self if that happened… She would have to figure out how to get him to be able to participate in the hunt, without him getting killed.. will these two fated mates spend the rest of their lives as HEA or would events keep them apart for the rest of their lives….

Sam is basically shifter royalty, but she doesn’t really act like it. When she comes home for the holidays, she’s subjected to a mate hunt, where three suitors will be hunting her with the goal to claim her as their mate. It’s an archaic tradition that Sam wants no part of, especially after she meets her mate in the airport on the way home. Their only chance at a happy ever after is if Chase can catch her first. The only problem is… nobles are trained from an early age for the hunt and Chase is no nobleman.
The book was a little on the short side and a few things could have been expended upon but aside from that it was well written and managed to hold my interest from start to finish. If I could improve the book in any way, I’d probably like to have seen more of what the true mate bond was really about. I’d also have liked to have seen the reaction of the family’s reaction to the mating after the hunt. To be fair, you do catch a glimpse of how things went down in the first chapter of the next book, and some of what I thought was missing might still be brought to light as the series continues; I guess I’ll have to read the rest and find out.
Profanity: Occasional
Sexual content: Infrequent
Violence: Infrequent, more prevalent towards the end of the book

Sam returns home for a Christmas break, only to find her parents have arranged a mating hunt. she turned 25 and that's when its traditionally done. Sam, however, wants to finish medical school, and be a doctor and help those in Third World countries. being part of the mating hunt, and the subsequent mating wont allow her to do that. Plus, her family is like Vegas Royalty, wolf style!
Chase is also returning home for a Christmas break, from his army career than spans every American war since WWII. He is on the same plane as Sam, and his wolf reacts and makes his wishes known.
Sam's only concession to the Hunt is that she be allowed to add a fourth participant, Chase.
what makes this slightly different is that the wolf in each of them has a separate identity, and they converse. also, when Sam's father makes it clear that her wolf WILL NOT have a say in who Sam mates, her wolf pushes forward, and takes over Sam to make herself clear that she WILL!
Sam's mother is a nasty piece of work, and her father not much better.
taking place over 48 hours, the book is both short in time and words. it could have been so much more! Whether I will pay for the next two books, I don't know, but they are both longer.

Im also very keen to find out what is going to happen to Chase's brother as I'm hoping there is a story in the future for him too.
I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and as I said above found it addictive and couldnt put it down. You wont be disappointed in getting this book - a MUST READ.


I really enjoyed this story, but think a little more about Sam's mother could have been explained in this story, but I suppose it's how you're pulled in to buying the next books.
