Gabriele Sloane has been picked on his entire life by the coven he grew up in. They taunted him, ridiculed him, and downright hated him. When they do the unthinkable and kick him out, Gabby is forced to find a new home. Dodging the sun and low on his diabetic supplies, he wanders aimlessly until he finds himself in the arms of one bald and sexy shifter. Montana Graton hates vampires with a passion. His best friend was killed by one. Hungry and bored, he decides to visit the diner in town. The little redhead sitting one booth over looks good enough to roll around in the back of his truck with-until the smell hits him and he discovers the redhead is his mate. Can Montana set aside his hatred and claim the little vamp, or will he allow his festering hate to surface and turn his back on the sexy little fireball fate has given him? Note: Each book in Lynn Hagen's Brac Pack collection features a different romantic couple. Each title stands alone and can be read in any order. However, we recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Lynn Hagen loves writing about the somewhat flawed, but lovable. She also loves a hero who can see past all the rough edges to find the shining diamond of a beautiful heart.
You can find her on any given day curled up with her laptop and a cup of hot java, letting the next set of characters tell their story.
This was book 16 in the "Brac Pack" series. Gabriele "Gabby" Sloane has been picked on his entire life by the coven he grew up in. They taunted him, ridiculed him, and downright hated him and kicked him out. Gabby is tired hungry and low on insulin he is also out in the day and as a vampire that's a big no. Montana Graton hates vampires with a passion. His best friend was killed by one. He is also tired of looking at all the mated couples because along with the Santiago brother's they are the only single ones. When he goes to the diner he spots Gabby who has spiked orange hair when he sits next to him he knows that he has found his mate. When Gabby goes to the restroom to take his insulin dose Montana thinks he is doing drugs and tries to keep him from taking it until he tells him what it was. When Montana Gabby gets sick and Nicholas examines him and finds out that he is half vampire and Montana loses it. Gabby thinks that Montana doesn't want him so he leaves along with some supplies that Nicholas gives him. We also find out why all the rogues want Malonee they are drawn to her smell and Gabby is drawn to it we also find out that she is a fae princess. This book also introduces some new character's like Carter the fae that told them about Malonee and some other shifter's that want to move into the area. This book was hot when Gabby feeds from Montana they both get hot and lusty. We also learn that the man that Gabby thought was his father is not and that Christian the vampire prince is. We also learn that Gabby can get pregnant at which time Montana passes out. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book because Carter is Tryck's mate.
This was a fun mixture between humor, a cute hero who is desperately looking for affection, an alpha second hero who discovers his mate's personality is more important than his race, and, oh, yes, more revelations about the overall story.
Gabby is one of those suppressed guys who nevertheless remain fighters. He is too cute for words, and his constant worrying (no surprise based on the way he's been treated so far) combined with his ability to speak faster than a flying bullet made him really likeable for me.
Montana faces the fact that his mate is half-vampire and, predictably, flips out. Thankfully he also recovers quickly and the rest of the drama in this book comes from outside revelations about the vampires, the addition of a few Elven and the 'reactivation' of an old enemy.
While the addition of yet another potential male pregnancy came as somewhat of a surprise, I don't have a problem with the concept and thought it was quite funny how there are now two mates able to reproduce. I wonder what's next?
Sabia que en este libro iban a pasar muchas cosas buenas aparte de la pareja 😈 Montana y Gabriele tienen mucho potencial en todas las maneras 💜 Se vienen cosas mucho mas buenas 😈
Okay, so this book wasn't bad per se; I found Gabby adorable if a bit too childlike sometimes, especially for someone over a hundred years old. I did like how he was not skinny as the other mates and had some meat to him; it was a very nice change, and I was glad that Montana actually liked that about him. Overall, I think Gabby is one of my favorite mates, aside from Nicholas and Oliver.
I'm still a bit ehhh toward the whole mpreg business; I was never particularly fond of it, and I never will be. In addition, one of my pet peeves is when stories make you look like you're a selfish little shit when you decide you don't have kids. I was gonna let the mpreg/ovulation bits slide no matter how ridiculous they were, but then they had to change Gabby's mind about having a baby and I am just. Pissed as fuck. Like, the dude doesn't want to have kids. It's his body. He wants to enjoy his new life with his new mate and his new friends and his new family. He doesn't want a baby to get in the way. IS THAT SO WRONG? Why do they have to talk him into it and make it seem like he's being selfish by choosing his happiness and independence by not having a baby? They could have gone a more mature route and decided "hey, he doesn't want kids because he wants to live his life without one; that's totally cool and it's your business and we're not gonna try to convince you otherwise". But no. They had to do the usual "YOU SHOULD HAVE KIDS YOU'LL MAKE A GOOD PARENT!!" Like that's a good enough reason to ever bring a kid into the world.
Just, y'know. Fuck that shit. Fiction or not fiction, no one has any right to force their opinion down your throat. And that includes the choice of not having children.
In the review we have this sentence at the end: "Can Montana set aside his hatred and claim the little vamp, or will he allow his festering hate to surface and turn his back on the sexy little fireball fate has given him?" And this sounds so serious, like there will be tragic decision to make, "have a Vampire as a mate or not". And then everything is solved when Montana finds the room Gabby occupied empty...because (now that's hard deep plot) Gabby left the house on HIS own!!! OMG....
Really...-___- DEEP plotted stories!! I so feel for the this author, such hardship to write such "amazingly" developed books! I will get sick!
It might just be me but this one made very little sense, there was far to much going on in the one book. And considering how long it took us to get to this point I'd have thought some of these things should have happened a little more spaced out!
Melonee does actually have a mother so why is she STILL living with the wolves?(does this situation remind anyone of Sookie Stackhouse with the whole fairy blood carry on?)
Why do they not mention the events of book 13?
Whats the timeline?
Whats up with Murphy and the stalker?
**sigh** Sorry see why I never usuallly write anything here??
Okay, I read two more volumes (15 and 16) and the series is now decreasing in quality. The protagonists are silly and back to growly, rash tops and kiddy type bottoms that don’t play with a full deck and have to be cared for. And we get another . Dear lord!
So yeah. That didn’t go all that well. The writing itself is not so bad; there’s some genuinely funny stuff in the dialogues, especially around Maverick, but it seems that although the author has come into her own as far as her reach might go, this series has passed its high point. Sure, I might be surprised by future books but the cast has simply become too big now. They’re in fact outsourcing for fresh protagonists, heh.
So yes, book 16 ended on a high note, setting up the next volume with a nice joke, but overall it was not very appealing. I sure have read worse but yeah. Blah. Number 15 wasn’t that much better either.
Let’s see if the decline continues with my last two books or whether things manage to pick up again. The protagonists for the next book have appeared enough already for me to know they’re both annoyingly rude, but that sort of thing can be fun, if handled well.
… I just have to add that if they decide that male elves can too, I might just scream. A little. And the throw a tissue ball in disgust. And then they’ll be sorry. Um. >.>;
2012 Re-read Project:
I went and did it. I re-read all the connected series by Lynn Hagen, this time in order of publication date, as recommended, which sadly does not ensure actual chronologicality. That’s twenty-nine books of moderate length, spanning three series (with more to spin off).
I’ll put my thoughts in spoiler tags since I plan to paste this into the end of each review covered here. There are no actual spoilers, so feel free to read this for a general idea of the series.
Minus points for 1. the incorrect use of the term asexual, 2. the biologicist crap, 3. and (not just from this book) the use of "females" instead of women, I don't see the author calling men, males this males that, I hate that fucking term.

Genre: Alternative (M/M), Paranormal, Vampires/Werewolves, Elves, Fey, MPREG
Absolutely loved Brac Pack 16: Montana's Vamp the latest installment of Lynn Hagen's Brac Pack collection! This book is a perfect blend of paranormal romance and fantasy, with a thrilling mix of vampires, werewolves, Elven (elves), and Fey (fairies), making it an irresistible read for fans of the Omegaverse genre.
The story centers on Gabriele Sloane, affectionately known as "Pumpkin" by his mate Montana due to his striking bright orange spiked hair. Gabby, a half-human, half-vampire, has faced relentless bullying and hatred from the coven he grew up in. When he is finally cast out, Gabby embarks on a journey to find a new home. As he dodges the sun and struggles with his diabetic condition, fate leads him into the arms of the bald and sexy shifter, Montana Graton.
Montana, who harbors a deep-seated hatred for vampires after losing his best friend to one, is instantly drawn to the little redhead in the diner. The insta-love connection between them is palpable and compelling, a hallmark of the Omegaverse genre. Despite Montana's initial resistance, the discovery that Gabby is his mate sets off a chain of events that is both thrilling and heartwarming.
The introduction of Elven (elves), Fey (fairies), and bear shifters adds an exciting layer to the story, expanding the Brac Pack universe in delightful ways. The inclusion of these new supernatural elements not only enriches the plot but also hints at potential spinoffs, which has me SOOOOOOOO SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!!
What makes this book stand out is the way it seamlessly integrates each aspect of the genre. The M/M romance is beautifully portrayed, with intense chemistry and emotional depth between Gabby and Montana. The paranormal elements are richly developed, from the vampiric struggles of Gabby to the shifter dynamics of Montana. The presence of Elven and Fey injects a magical quality that elevates the story, making it a must-read for fans of fantasy and supernatural romance.
Montana's journey from hatred to acceptance, and eventually love, is a testament to the powerful storytelling that Lynn Hagen is known for. The MPREG aspect is handled with care, adding another layer of complexity and excitement to the narrative. Each character's development is well-crafted, and the story's pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish.
In conclusion, Brac Pack 16: Montana's Vamp is an absolute gem in the Brac Pack collection. The M/M romance, the insta-love storyline, and the Omegaverse elements are all masterfully woven together, making it an unforgettable read. The addition of Elven, Fey, and bear shifters promises even more thrilling adventures in future spinoffs. I can't wait to see where Lynn Hagen takes us next!

This story started off quickly, setting my emotions a blaze. I was filled with sadness for what has happened to Gabby and anger because he’s a sweet innocent soul who needs help being cared for. At a hundred years old this half vampire half human is still considered young and naive. Gabby has been forced out of the only home he has ever known with nothing more than the clothes on his back. His vampire coven has done the most unthinkable thing when they kicked him out, they did it during daylight hours. This poor character has to struggle and fight the odds until he enters Brac Village and meets his savior.
When Gabby meets Montana it’s a bit awkward. Gabby is diabetic and needs daily doses of insulin, and when he goes to administer his medicine Montana storms in and gets the wrong impression. This couple have their ups and downs from the get go but they're also a supper sweet and fun pairing. Montana’s overbearing need to protect and care for his mate is just what Gabby needs. Gabby, on the other hand, brings the comedy into this relationship. He keeps Montana on his toes with his speed talking and the shenanigans he gets into with the other mates.
The book was very enjoyable but I wished there were more back story on Montana. As stated in the blurb his friend was killed by a vampire but that is all that is mentioned in the actual book as well. I would have liked to have known more about the man, where he came from, what his previous pack was like? Montana is a fierce warrior and would do anything for his mate, but I would have loved for the author to have explored with this character more in depth.
As with all the Brac pack mates, Ms. Hagen writes these men in the most realistic way while still being a paranormal story. All these men are human beings with real life personal drama. Gabby is an overweight vampire with self-image issues. He also has a bad case of talking so fast he leaves everyone speechless with his ability to go without taking a breath.
Ms. Hagen is the queen of the cliff hanger, but I love it and it has me coming back every week. There are more introductions of other paranormal shifters and we finally get more back ground info on Melonee. This series just picks up more steam with each new installment. As for Montana and Gabby these characters will stay with me and keep me wondering what will happen next for this duo. Ms. Hagen is always great about giving updates about every member of this extended family and it helps keep these characters fresh in your mind.
Allthough, we still don't hear too much about what is happening with Heaven and what is going on in his pregnancy (I thought it would have helped in Gabby's thought procress of knowing he wouldn't would be the only one. I digress it seems.....I love that these two come together and get past the issues really fast. Montana being the biggest problem to over come. I must say I was proud the he didn't stick his head up his ass like most would and took on the responsibility very well. Gabby needed the love and support and he got in spades with Montana.......I am soooooooooo looking forward to the next one and hopefully seeing Tryck put on his ass....lol
My heart broke for Gabby! Treated like trash all his life, abused, then thrown out without any money, medication and just the clothes on his back. I was actually tearing up. Montana wanting to treat him like a one time lay before detecting the 'mate' scent really hit me hard too. Gabby was adorable, kind and deserved to be treated like a king. Glad montana wisened up.
First, I don't see why Christian had to tell them his true age just to explain how he is Gabby's father, I think it wasn't pertinent information for his explanation, what would be pertinent is Heaven, someone should've told Gabby about his situation. Where did Heaven go anyway, he's not mentioned to be in lieu with other mates, he isn't anywhere?
Second, Gabby is feeding way to often. A couple of times in the book it was referenced how, since he's a half vampire, he only needs blood twice a month, yet Montana feeds him practically every day. I get that you need it to heal when you're injured but he drinks it all the time, regardless.
I usually like this underdog stuff but something was missing in this story, I wasn't impressed. Also the model on the cover that's supposed to be Gabby is way too ripped.
This one actually had a true cliff hanger compared to the rest. Usually the ending have a small cliff hanger but it's not so crazy that you need to move on to the next immediately. They're starting to get into the plot a little more but losing the main focus. It's a shifter tale but now they've added vampires, bears, and elves. feels like it should have been a different series - maybe a spin off of some type. (SPOILER) If Mel is the one that's bringing the rogues - how come they've been attacking since the beginning and she only came in half way thru? Also, what about Heaven's pups? No mention of then even though we find out someone else has the same issue? It would have been helpful to both characters and something to bond over.
¡Un vampiro diabetico! Dioooos esto esta re bueno, y lo de "herencia familiar" seguro que es una puerta hacia el mpreg, lo que no estoy discutiendo pero 🤷♀️ y aunque en realidad en esta serie siempre me dedico a analizar solamente a las "parejas" porque... los shifter son como: waaa arrrr (gruñido) (gruñido) miooooo. Y nada mas... Montana me gusto especialmentr su bazooka 👍 aunque también es en su mayoria lo primero que mencioné.
Are these the best written books ever? No. Are the characters stereotypical? Yes. Do i still like to come back and read these books from time to time just because i love them? Yes. They are my guilty pleasure, easy and quick, not a lot of focus has to be on them, I can read them on a lazy day and just relax.
Gabby's life was hard and difficult. He just need someone who love, care and cherish him. Fate brought Montana to his life but when their life seemed good, there was a shocking news about Gabby that turned his worlds upside down.
Nuevamente un m-preg!!! Vampiros que se embarazan. Simplemente magnífico. Y la nueva introducción de los elves oscuros? No puedo esperar para ver cómo se desarrolla las siguientes historias.

I just loved this book as much as the others, or more than a few, but it was sweet, with nail biting moments. Gabby is a half vampire who is kicked out of his coven and Montana happens to find him in a diner and realizes that they are mates. Naturally, there's hoops that they have to get over until they find a way to be comfortable with their relationship dynamic. I also love the introduction of Carter. Things are getting too exciting for Maverick, but I'm loving every word of It. This was totally a captivating and fantastic read. :)
Gabriele Sloan has grown up in a vampire coven which has always hated him. When they kick him out, he’s truly on his own with no one to go to and on top of everything else, he’s also diabetic. Gabriele wanders aimlessly until he is found by Montana Graton, a werewolf shifter, who hates vampires. When Montana finds Gabriele, he realizes he’s his mate. So he tries to set aside his hatred and get to know Gabby, a man who will literally die without the love and protection of his mate.
Montana’s Vamp by Lynn Hagen is the sixteenth book in the Brac Pack series. This is a series which should be read in order as each book builds on the previous installment with recurring characters. The mates in these books are a little mischievous but always loveable.
Gabby is a strong man, he’s been through a lot in his life. He’s a diabetic, which is a twist for a vampire character, which I’ve never heard of before. I like things that are new and different than what I’ve read before. Montana has been through a lot too, but his trials have come at the hands of vampires. He’s going to have to get past a lot to find love with one. The chemistry and attraction between Gabby and Montana is great. Gabby has his own issues but the other mates in the pack help him as he works through them. This is additional pack bonding makes the Brac Pack novels fun to read and always brings a smile to my face. There’s also plenty of hot man love to keep me turning the pages too. These stories have a great blend of angst, fun and romance which keeps me coming back for more.
