4.5 HEARTS
From Goodreads
After Maya is turned into a vampire against her will, vampire and Scanguards bodyguard Gabriel is charged with protecting her and finding her attacker.
Gabriel has never guarded a body as perfect as Maya’s. But while the sexual tension between them rises and the rogue vampire closes in on them, Gabriel can’t allow himself to give into the desire he feels for Maya. He fears to fully show himself to her despite the intimacies they share - afraid she will react like all other women when she discovers the horror he hides.
Will she run from him when she discovers his secret, calling him a monster, a freak, a creature not worthy of her love?
Caution: graphic and explicit sex scenes - not for the faint of heart.

Gabriel's Mate is the third book in Tina Folsom's HOT Scanguards Vampires series. It is the story of Gabriel, the head of the New York branch of Scanguards, one of the best bodyguard agencies there is.
Tina Folsom yet again hits it out of the park with this addition to the series. Gabriel, who I really didn't like in Amaury's book, Amaury's Hellion, is still in San Fransisco. It is here that he meets Maya. Maya had been attacked by a vampire and in order to save her, Gabriel turned her before gaining her consent. When it became clear that Maya was still in danger Gabriel takes it upon himself to protect her while he and the gang hunted down her attacker.
I find it utterly amazing that Tina Folsom can satisfy a reader like she does. Each and every time she catches me by surprise. In this book the biggest surprise for me was the culprit. I was totally shocked at who it was.
Folsom's humor is seen in this book as well. We see it in the interaction between the gang. Thomas is always good for a laugh, and the fact that Maya was a urologist had me giggling. Who better is there for a man with a problem "down there"? And that's another thing, these man part problems that her characters so frequently have are always painted in a hilarious light and never fail to amuse.
The romance between Gabriel and Maya was fabulous. The sexual tension between the two had me wrapped up in knots. I couldn't wait till Gabriel revealed his secret and he and Maya finally got it on. I kept on thinking "She's a urologist you dumb schmuck! She'll totally dig it!". Their love scenes were sinfully erotic.
Again I must give a shout out to my girl Tonya for introducing me to Tina Folsom's work. It truly would have been a shame if I had missed out on it. I'm telling you, grab one of her books and get cozy 'cause once you start reading you won't want to put the book down!
A few last things...
I was really pleased to see that my issue with the surprise character that appeared at the end of Amaury's Hellion was resolved in this book.
There was some good groundwork laid for Yvette's book
We lost a beloved character in this one =O(
Do I see a M/M book in the future?
This book contains anal.
