Mayhem Crew #1

The Leopard's Witchy Mate

Rate this book
A Witch With A Broken Heart.

A Shifter With A Haunted Past.

A Deadly Adversary out to Destroy Them.

Home is where you make It…

A Beautifully Broken Soul... Noelle York had fought to stay alive, hoping she'd someday be reunited with her family, even when each day was filled with nothing but pain and agony. Some girls dream of a knight in shining armor, but she dreamt of running through woods with a mate who would accept her as she was.

Home is Where You Find It…

An Alpha With An Attitude... Ridge Jackson has always been the one who everyone leaned on. As the alpha of a bunch of wild shifters, he takes his job seriously. When a little witch shows up at his bar, his leopard raked at him, claiming her as theirs. Of course, nothing has ever come easy for him and getting a witchy mate was no different.

Home is Where The Heart is…

Two Souls Meant For One Another... For Ridge and Noelle, the chemistry was instant and undeniable from the moment they met. While Noelle was innocent in so many ways, she wasn't willing to let Ridge go without a fight. Ridge and his leopard were prepared to claim Noelle and show her being a mate to an alpha was better than what her sister was marrying. However, neither of them realized the danger that was stalking Noelle. A danger that was even more sinister than the evil that had taken her as a child and held her captive for ten years.

Can Ridge keep Noelle safe and find those who are tracking her before it's too late? Or will those who are hunting his witchy mate get to her, eliminating Noelle before they can make a home together?

I would love to live inside Elle Boon's head for a week to watch her tell these stories. She's so good at it. Noelle has had a rough start to life but Ridge is there for her. The story had me turning the pages as fast as I could read. I loved the connection between them and it was great to see Noelle come into her own. Drama, mystery and danger, this story has all the feels. I love the Mayhem crew and can't wait for more!!!

Ridge and Noelle were a great match. I was glad to see her grow a back bone where her sister was concerned. No one should be treated that way by anyone. Love their chemistry and zelda is such a great character. Reminds me of jenna x

This is the first book in a new series by Elle and I absolutely ate it up. Elle's writing style is awesome! I love the amazing characters and the storyline makes me laugh out loud and cry. I couldn't have asked for a better story during this Halloween month!

"No take-backs." That's what Ridge says to Noelle. It's a short but explosive connection between the two. I loved the interaction with the Mayhem club and their comebacks. The entertainment provided by the author in this short story is by far exceptional. I am never disappointed when I read one of Ms. Boon's books, be it a novella or a full length story. "Zelda the scary witch." That's a great nickname as well, and kudos for knowing about the red bottom shoes.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Loved it. It is very well written. Once Noelle is free for her 10 year kidnapping can she find a "normal" live but then she meets Ridge an Alpha Leopard of the Mayhem Crew. They are mates and they both know it. But Noelle sister wants her powers. Can they find love or not. A must read.

OMG! Ridge and the Mayhem Crew are back but this time it's Ridge who gets his forever mate!
Feeling guilty for what happened to her sister and her friends Noelle York reluctantly agreed to be her older sisters Maid of honor and with that duty she is obligated to attend the bachelorette party.
Ridge Jackson, the Alpha of the Mayhem Crew and older brother to Torrance who we met in The Lion's Witchy Mate.
When these two lock eyes on each other it's instant attraction!
Lot's of growling, chemistry, action and a twist I didn't see coming at all! Almost forgot, Zelda and Sassy are back with their meddling, witty humor!

Absolutely loved this book -- couldn't put it down until I had finished it!
Noelle is a witch who was captured at a young age and held for years against her will, Ridge is a leopard shifter and alpha of the Mayhem Crew. (There are so many great characters in the Mayhem crew I will have to buy more books in this series.)
My heart went out to Noelle with all she went through during captivity and afterwards, she has two familiars, Maine Coon cats Mr. Fatfat and Mrs. Noseby - would love a scene where they meet Mr. Bixley, would hair/fur fly?
A brilliant read that takes your mind far from the difficult/strange world we currently live in

This story starts out with Noelle, who was kidnapped at 12 then experiment on for 10 years. When she finds out that her sister and friends had also been kidnapped, she fights to get them all out alive. Two years later, she meets Ridge, who is the Alpha of his Mayhem crew.

Fate has some interesting surprises and twists for these two. You will love seeing Noelle’s confidence group while Ridge helps her see her worth. One of the surprises to this story is you need to buy it to see what happens. Enjoy the story.

I really enjoyed this book. Noelle and Ridge were a fun couple to read about.

I felt so bad for Noelle in this book. At the start of the book she's in a bad place. I did enjoy watching her grow in this book and become the woman she was always meant to be. Noelle was a kind and wonderful person who just wanted to be loved and needed. I loved watching her confidence grow in each chapter and having her realize her true potential and worth.

Ridge was a fun character to read about. He was the alpha of his crew but he had a hard time controlling his animal around Noelle. I loved that he was protective of her.

My favorite scene in the book has to be when Noelle meets the crew and how they all like her and right off the bat banter with her.

I enjoyed this story a lot. Though Noelle has gone through a lot in her young life from being kidnapped and being experimented on. This story still has lots of funny laugh out loud moments. Ridge is in for some surprises if he thinks Noelle is all sweet and meek because she’s fierce when it comes to protecting those she loves. But when troubles comes a knocking it will take all the power that Ridge and Noelle have to defeat it and win.

Kidnapped at the young age of 12 and being tortured and experimented on, for ten years, had Noelle hoping for death. But when she finds her tormentor had taken her sister and her friends she fought to get them all out alive.
Two years later Noelle realizes her older sister is not who she remember and she was now living a verbally emotional hell. G
At her sister’s bachelorette party she see a man that she can’t take her eyes off of. But what happens next?? Well you have to read and fall in love with a Ridge on your own.

Great read

The Leopard's Witchy Mate is a new book in the Magic and Mayhem universe. This book features Ridge from the Lion's Witchy Mate and Noelle, a witch who is still coming to terms with finally being set free. This book was wonderful, the author does an amazing job describing the character's emotions. I really enjoyed reading this book!

Noelle York, Witch,  has a heckuva way to go at the hands of Dr. Remdezevier, an evil, evil man and Ridge Jackson,  Leopard Shifter Alpha of the Mayhem Crew is exactly what she needs to leave all of the horror behind her.  Their story is fun and whimsical and a great, quick read.  There's surprises galore and action too. If you're in need of a fast paced read this is the perfect book.

Noelle was kidnapped when she was 12 and held captive for 10years. She was experimented on and tortured during those years.
When she was free, her family moved to little town, where she will start her life over.

This story is awesome, the witches, the shifters, crazy humans, everything is in it.

Loved, loved The Leopard's Witchy Mate.

The Leopard's Witchy Mate is a paranormal romance by Elle Boon. This read while being the normal witty and whimsical read that Elle is known for, also has a very sick and twisted underlying story. Noelle is a witch who has been ripped away from her family at a very young age, by a sick and twisted man who do horrendous experiments to her over many years. Ridge is the alpha of the Mayhem Crew of panther shifters. One night when Noelle walks into Ridge's bar, Mayhem Howl, for a bachelorette party their lives path cross and fate brings them together. This book was very fast paced and action packed. The book had laugh out loud moments, as well earth shatter steamy scenes, and moments that made you gasp at what you were reading and wondering what was to happen next. This a definite next read for any one who likes a good paranormal romance.

Elle Boon always tells a story that is fun and interesting. The Leopard’s Witch Mate actually mixed the best of both worlds … suspense and fun. A bitch, a witch and a leopard walk into a wedding. Sound interesting? Well, it was.

I love how Elle Boon puts a story together. Right from the start of this story, she drew me in. She had me guessing where the story was going and how Ridge and Noelle would work things out. It was tricky but they did and Elle truly had me invested in the story until the end.

Elle Boon loves writing quirky characters … sexy alpha males … supporting characters that hold your interest just as much as the main characters. These are only a few reasons why I adore reading her stories. She also usually has a message for us if you read closely between the lines. Little life lessons that are meant to engage you as a reader and as a person. Yes, she always makes the sexy times hot, the fun times whimsical and has a flair for romance. And, that’s why she’s one of my go-to paranormal romance authors.

Interesting and fast-paced. Noelle was kidnapped, held captive, and tortured for years. When she was unexpectedly freed, all she wanted was a quiet place to heal, learn about the abilities she discovered during her captivity, and live in peace. Ridge is a leopard shifter and alpha of the Mayhem Crew. He's enjoying the single life and running his bar. When he meets Noelle, he knows she's it for him. Unfortunately, Noelle's past isn't quite done torturing her yet.

Zaniness abounds in this story. There's also danger, evil scientists who enjoy torturing innocents, witches, family and friends who can't be trusted, and a shifter trying his best to save his mate.
Highly recommend.

Your time will come

This author has a flair for romance that calls to my heart. She manages to mix hard core biker with loving mate and achieves a result that soothes my rebel soul. This witch might have had terrible tween years, but the Goddess is looking out for her lost child. The author did an amazing job of having her find her center once she met her alpha man. I love how the alpha is taken by surprise, but fully embraces his mate once he smells her. And the intensity of danger and betrayal keep the story moving at a fast pace perfect for the M&M universe. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Witchy Leopards!

Yay! I was so excited to hear that Ridge was getting his HEA after getting to know him in Tor and Thadd’s book! That grumpy Alpha got exactly what he deserved and needed in Noelle! This was a great story of overcoming the fear of captivity and moving on with your life, even when others don’t want you to.
Noelle and Ridge were perfectly made for each other, and they are a steamy, sexy pair for sure! I can’t wait to read the next story in this Magic and Mayhem World! Check out this world, it will be worth your time!

Kidnapped and help prisoner for years, Noelle finally gets free and starts to find her new normal in life. Just in time for her sister's wedding. Ridge is the owner of bar where they have the bachelorette party. Sparks fly for these two. Noelle has the patience of a saint when it comes to her sister and friends. So glad to see her stand up for herself when she did. I really liked getting to know some of Ridge's crew members, and hope to see more of them in the future.

This book is part of the Magic and Mayhem Universe. Noelle York has been through a lot. She was kidnapped and held captive for many many years. Now she is trying her best to cope with what happened and what she did. Ridge is alpha of his crew. He is everything you expect an alpha to be and act. They meet while Noelle is attending her sister’s bachelorette party at his bar. Ridge’s leopard knows right away that she meant to be there’s. They have an instant connection. Ridge doesn’t know about her past but he does know about witches. She knows about shifters as well. So, they don’t have to overcome that hurtle. Things aren’t smooth sailing for them. Ridge will do everything in his power to protect Noelle from anybody even if that person is part of her family. Noelle has to decide when she is done paying for something she didn’t even do. Her past is about to collide with her present. This was a fantastic read. It had romance, danger, and more. Elle never disappoints. This book does cross over with another one her books just a bit. The characters are great and funny. I would love to read more about them in future. Fantastic job Elle.

I just love this author’s work!! She writes fun and quirky stories with some serious undertones in them. Ridge finds his mate in the most unexpected place and she is not a leopard which he always felt as the alpha he would be paired with a leopard. Noelle has just escaped a mad scientist that held her for 10 years and her Witchy magic is very unpredictable. When they lock eyes across the crowded bar it’s instant attraction and a lot of growling and purring on Ridge’s end. I love the Mayhem Crew and all of their quirky personalities. Fate has some interesting surprises and twists for the couple, will they survive them?

Holy hotness Batman

If you have read The Lion's Wtchy Mate, you will have met Ridge. He is an alpha and very protective of his sister Torrance, but since she moved to Texas with her mate he has been kept busy with his crew.
Noelle has been through hell and is going through her when she first sets eyes on Ridge. Her sister's hen party! And he sister and friends are anything but friendly.
Ridge sensed his true mate, but can this be right?!! There's so much to this story and it had me on the edge of seat!!
Love Zelda and Sassy!! And Mrs Noseby and Fatface!!!!

Noelle has had a very rough childhood. She has been on her own now for a few years and she meets Ridge at the bar he owns. Ridge is the alpha of his crew and knows Noelle is his mate immediately. She is very skittish so he tries not to push her to fast. Will this leopard and his witch be able start a relationship while trying to outrun the danger that is stalking them? I really enjoyed this second story in the world of the leopards.

The Leopard's Witchy Mate

Noelle was kidnapped when she was twelve years old and held for ten years! In those ten years, the man who stole her did experiments on her due to her being a witch! Ridge is leopard alpha shifter! When these two meet, Ridge knows right away that they are mates! Will they get past Noelle's past and her sister, Merry, to become mates?
