When the last thing you want, is everything you need….

Seb Calloway isn’t interested in shifters. After his best friend bonded with one, he avoids getting involved with them—no matter how hot they are—to prevent the same thing from happening to him. Why take the risk for a few hours of fun?

Tim Walters is the pack doctor. Considered to be mild-mannered and non-threatening by pack standards, he prides himself on being able to stay calm and maintain his control at all times. Desperate for a bond of his own, he knows his interest in Seb is an exercise in futility, but he can’t seem to help himself.

When news emerges that threatens Seb’s safety, he and Tim need to fake a relationship to keep Seb safe. Despite Seb’s refusal to be anything other than friends with benefits, what starts out as pretend, quickly becomes more—for Tim at least. If Tim doesn't want to end up heartbroken, he needs to prove to Seb that loving a shifter doesn’t mean losing himself.

Second Book in Series Even Better Than First

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

So happy to see Tim, pack doctor, back in his own story. Alpha pushiness can be all hot and that but Tim's kinder nature and his longing for Sebastian make for a very good story.

Yes, surprised, in a good way, and I'll explain why. Mostly for two reasons. First, the series I read before this one (by a different author) left me disappointed because every book in the series was pretty much the same story but with different characters. I didn't feel that way at all about this book. If Tim had the same personality as Nathan then I probably would have stopped reading this book early on. This story felt different from the first in several ways and I found that refreshing.

The second thing is that, at the end of the first book, I hadn't grown attached to either Seb or Tim. I had a liking for many other characters like Luke, Gareth, Cam, and even Alec, but both Seb and Tim were just blah to me. So I was prepared to just get through this book to get on to the next with characters I was already attached to. However, the author had my heart breaking for Tim fairly close to the start and suddenly I was invested. My heart broke for Tim several times in this story, at one point I used so many tissues I had to go rub lotion on my nose. I love it when a story pulls at my emotions like that.

So, surprised, but in a good way. Also, I'd like to add that it's so hard these days to find a good shifter romance that isn't mpreg, and mpreg is just not my thing. I guess I'm picky when it comes to the m/m genre. So thank you to the author for a well written shifter series that doesn't involve mpreg.

I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to go on to the next!

3.5 stars- Good book, just a little slower paced than the first

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019

Bitten By Design is the second standalone in the Regent’s Park Pack series. Although it didn’t quite draw me in as quickly as the first book, this was another great addition to the series with plenty of interesting world-building details, good characters, fun dialogue, and sexy chemistry.

Bitten By Design features the Regent’s Park Pack’s shifter doctor and the best friend of a shifter’s human mate, both whom were secondary characters in the first book. And while it’s a human/shifter pairing again, I liked that the dynamic between Tim and Seb was fairly different than the one used in Bitten By Mistake. That said, because there was already an underlying connection between the men, their relationship seemed to move quite a bit faster or make sudden leaps forward, and I missed seeing some of that connection develop on page. The conflict in Bitten By Design was a bit slower paced as well rather than action packed with lots of fight/suspense scenes, so that further contributed to me reading this title a little slower. Despite being a little less enthralled with the second book, this series has definitely hooked me with the interesting pack dynamics and I’m excited to continue and see what the next pairing will bring.

Book UNfunk

Jacobs seems to bring out this insatiable hunger in me, I just can’t get enough.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

I was counting the days until this baby hit my kindle and when it did, everything else was pushed to the backseat. My book world stopped when this one released. When it left me on the same high the first book did, I knew I was going to be in for a trial of patience until book three. I am absolutely hooked on this pack! I could hardly contain my excitement as I read and I’m dying for more. Jacobs seems to bring out this insatiable hunger in me, I just can’t get enough.

I fell for Tim pretty quickly but knew it was going to take a little more work for Seb to win me over. He puts up a good fight. Which is actually his intention. He doesn’t really like shifters to begin with. He doesn’t understand what happened to his bestie, Jared. But whatever freaky shifter magic turned his best friend into a bonded mate to a shifter scares him. He believes it is safer to keep them at a distance. But then he has an accident and needs looking after. Who better to do the job than the pack doctor! Why does he have to be so nice and sexy though? That’s a dangerous combination and when Tim is almost nothing like the shifter stereotype Seb despises, he wonders if perhaps he was quick and harsh to judge them. Maybe all shifters aren’t the same? Still…the one thing he knows for sure is he doesn’t want to be with one. Just because he likes Tim and Tim is different, that doesn’t mean anything. Right? Hmmmm, we shall see.

What's to like: The pack is back! We have plenty of Jared and Nathan, which made me a very happy reader, but we also get to know a few other pack members a bit closer. Some new faces are introduced and I enjoyed them all. Tim has a different beta than Nathan and though we saw him in the first book, his first impression isn’t the greatest. Alec is not perceived as warm or friendly, but that is through Nathan’s eyes. They have a history that I wish to unravel. I enjoyed seeing him with his defenses down around Tim. He’s hiding something and I want to know about it! Of course I loved Cam and was fascinated with how he runs his pack. Overall, it’s deeply developed but not overcomplicated.

What's to love: The connection is not instantaneous and rather lopsided, that is until eyes and hearts are opened. Sometimes it’s nice to have to hurdle obstacles to bring two hearts together. Tim wants Seb from the very beginning. He wants to take care of him but his instincts scream for him to tend to needs beyond the call of a doctor. He wants Seb. However, he respects Seb’s wishes, and repeated declaration that he does not wish to allow emotions to develop between the two of them. Whatever they need to do, they can do it as friends and Tim is adamant he can withstand the temptation of more. Then Seb becomes frustrated with his own rules and demands. He likes Tim. Tim likes him. Why can’t they play a little? It’s not all or nothing. Wait? Is it? No, if that’s the case, it must be nothing. He has plans for his future and it does not involve wolves. Then the rogue pack threatens his single weakness and it’s time for him to reevaluate his life choices. This time the bite is not an accident but the question is, who will deliver it?

Beware of: A stubborn and insensitive human lets his mouth overrun his arse. Even cute arses need to watch their tongue and manners. If Tim can forgive, then so can I. However, I imagine you will be a tid bit irked with our boy Seb as well.

This book is for: Paranormal lovers should definitely take note of this series if they haven’t yet. Start at the beginning though, it’s not a standalone.

Wonderfully fun and sexy sequel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

The second book in the Regents Park Pack series. This one concentrates on Jared's best friend Sebastian and the pack's doctor, Tim.

Seb has some deeply-held beliefs (and prejudices) about shifters and while Happy for his friend, he doesn't want the same for himself. Tim wants a mate and a bond but hasn't found anyone yet. But when rogue shifters seem to linger around Jared's old flat that Seb now lives in, it's decided that the pair should pretend to be boyfriends to provide Seb some much-needed protection. But then feelings start to complicate things and bot Seb and Tim need to re-evaluate what they want.

This was fun and exciting from start to finish. As we've come to expect from Ms Jacobs' books, there's tons of scorching sex but also these guys have a lot of emotional depth to their characters. The pack structure and some of the characters in it were also mire prominent here and brought a nice background to the story. A worthy sequel to Bitten By Mistake, definitely goes on my re-read shelf.
