Their existence was a secret the government stumbled upon. In exchange for continued autonomy, the paranormals entered an alliance with the government. Now they are A.L.F.A.: Alpha League Federal Agency, sworn to protect and serve humanity.

Brilliant scientist Melinda Caster has discovered a new strain of the Zika virus that stimulates synaptic growth in embryos, causing neuron development beyond normal human levels. Way beyond, like ESP-levels of cognitive abilities. When the lab is broken into, Melinda realizes that someone has been keeping tabs on her research and wants it for themselves. A happy accident destroys critical data before it can fall into the wrong hands, but unfortunately that makes Melinda and her perfect memory a target.

A.L.F.A sends in jaguar-shifter Agent Parish Hamel to discover who is after the virus and why. The beautiful scientist acts like catnip to his senses and throws his mating instincts into overdrive. And then she disappears along with the only sample of the virus.... Now Parish must canvas the darkest areas of the supernatural underground to rescue Melinda, and what he discovers is beyond a paranormal's worst nightmare.

Great story. Fun, funny fast paced and a little steamy.
Melinda is a mouthy research scientists working in a lab in Uganda. She discovers a virus that seemed to cause changes in the brains of baby animals, giving them some amazing abilities.
Parish is a jaguar shifter with the ALFA. He is sent to Uganda as an under cover body guard for Mel. His job just got harder, Mel is his mate.
Demon's want the virus.. A witch doctor who's getting to old for this crap. A alpha hero who is a bit of a dork, and a nerdy heroine with a big heart, no filters are all that stand in the way of a mutant demon army.
Loved Mel and Parish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to a fun new series

Elemental Mating is the first book in Milly Taiden’s A.L.F.A. series. This is also my first experience with this author. A.L.F.A. is a group of secret agents that work for the government. The government knows they are shifters while the world is kept in the dark that they exist. The government uses their special skills on dangerous missions in exchange for leaving the shifters from being outed.

In Elemental Mating, we travel to Uganda where Melinda Caster has discovered a virus that gives infants ESP gifts. Unfortunately they are still working on it when they find that the virus has a high death rate after the special gift is used excessively. Melinda really doesn’t think her virus is worth national security so is surprised when someone is sent to watch over her project. She is not pleased to have to work with someone from this organization.

Parish Hamel is no scientist, and pretending to be one is actually harder than he thought it would be. His attempts at following Melinda’s conversations about her project were funny. However, his lack of scientific terminology strikes Melinda as odd. Hamel’s job is to protect Melinda’s project as there is information about it that could lead dangerous people to try and get a hold of it.

It was interesting that Hamel himself just gets introduced to a new paranormal species he thought didn’t exist. Now he has to be as open-minded as he needs his mate to be when he explains he is actually the panther she has fallen in love with.

Eternal Mating was a quick read. The world was fairly simple to get to know. There wasn’t an overload of world-building information so we were able to get right to the story. I found it interesting that Milly Taiden’s heroine’s are not your usual Barbie doll imitations, but portray real women.

The time the couple spent in the other dimension was interesting and we seem to setup a connection there that could benefit A.L.F.A. in the future.

I enjoyed the romance between our main couple, and thought it was cute how Hamel used his panther to get close to Melinda. The virus storyline was definitely interesting and the impact it could make in the wrong hands is shocking. I did not suffer from book one syndrome with this book and I’m excited to start book two. Elemental Mating is a great start to a new series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really a beginning book

It was an ok read. The story was really out there. We have no clue how this disease started. There is a lot of unanswered questions. Things that should be answered to link up. The demon world was really a subconscious world you create. It was like a magic genie was at your service the whole time. I didn't think that made sense. Also no other characters were presented. So I have no clue who the next a.l.f.a. is. Doesn't really endear me to keep reading.

Wow, just wow!! This new series is going to be freaking amazing if the first book is any sort of indication. Melinda works in Uganda as a scientist identifying new diseases and looking for cures. She is currently working with an unknown virus that seems to significantly increase brain mass and its capabilities. Hamel is a jaguar shifter and has been sent to Uganda to protect Melinda based on rumors of some dangerous parties wanting their hands on the serum she is working with. Who it is that wants it, why they want it and what do they think it will do for them is all unknown, all Hamel knows is that he has found his mate. Ecstatic to have finally found his mate, the timing is terrible, Hamel is undercover to protect Melinda and can't reveal anything to her until the threat has been neutralized. Melinda's character was great, she's a clumsy scientist and I found that to be a lovely bit of irony. She does things a normal person would never even think to do, like get so excited to get a picture of a jaguar, she walks out into the woods by her house saying her kitty, kitty lol. Definitely needs a keeper and Hamel is just the sexy jaguar to do it. Hamel literally lays his life on the line for Melinda more then once to keep her safe, I think that is the ultimate act of love. I can't wait to read the next books in the series!!!!!!

n my opinion, this is probably my favorite book by Ms. Taiden yet! A scientist, a jaguar shifter, and a virus someone or something is willing to kill for. To me that sums it up. There was so much action that I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. Yeah the sex scenes were hot, but the action and mystery are what made me fall in love with this book.
Melinda is a scientist who had discovered a virus, one that causes her to need a bodyguard that she doesn't need to know is there as a bodyguard. In walks Parish Hamel, jaguar shifter, A.L.P.A. agent, and pretend doctor. One sniff and, oh hell, he knows that she is his mate. This assignment just got a little more important to him.
I loved the interaction between these two. The situations they get involved in and that Hamel needs to get out of.

Elemental Mating is the first in a new series by Milly Taiden. I love that this book takes place in Uganda. I absolutely adore the fact that our heroine, Melinda, is a gifted scientist. I liked the mix of science and paranormal. I enjoyed the story. I just wish I could have felt the attraction between jaguar-shifter Agent Parish Hamel and Melinda more. It felt a little forced to me which is not usually an issue in this authors work. That being said; bring on the next installment.

A book with a difference and one readers will enjoy. I recommend the book to everyone the Shifter cat was well described and the character was strong. It was good to see Melinda, was a strong female and kicked ass when required.
