Doggy Defender Bear by Harmony Raines

Posted May 21, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

He wants a mate. She needs a doggy defender! 

Loving and affectionate. It’s a pity Jane is talking about Boomer, an adorable dog, and not Guy’s adorable bear. 
Don’t tell Guy’s bear he called him adorable or there might be trouble 

Or more trouble, since Guy is being hired to protect Boomer from an attempted dognapping. 

But events take a turn for the unusual when Jane asks for a doggy defender for Boomer, who has inherited the estate of his deceased mistress. 

Guy immediately realizes Jane is his mate. However, things are not exactly what they seem, and events quickly escalate. 

Bad kitty! 

Handling the dognapping is child’s play for Guy and soon he is free to enjoy his future with Jane. But fate isn’t done with surprises for these two fated mates. A trip to the local animal shelter gives them much more than another dog who needs a home. 

This is an adult, 18+ story that may include language, violence and sexual situations geared toward an adult audience.

Sora Burge doesn’t have any fight in her anymore. After breaking the most important shifter law, she knows her fate is in the Tarian Pride’s hands. She’s counting down to the trial, but something is coming for her. Something she never thought possible. When Ford Owens, the man she used to love, shows up, she can’t believe what he’s become. Something killed the human in him, and now he’s a terrifying monster who will take on the entire Tarian Pride to keep her safe. But how safe is she, really? Because Ford doesn’t have any control over the animal he’s become. 

Ford Owens had carved out a stable life in the mountains away from everyone. Work, eat, sleep, Change, Change, Change, hunt. But when a call from his past comes back to haunt him, he’ll have to venture out of his mountains and to the aid of a lioness he used to know. He’s not the man he was. In fact, he’s not a man at all anymore. And that first terrified look on Sora’s face says she knows he’s unsalvageable now. But if his mistakes are to mean anything, it has to be to help the girl he used to love. 

Because she doesn’t know the dark deeds he’s done…but it was all for her.

Max by Terry Bolryder

Posted May 15, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Huge, gorgeous Max Chase isn’t looking for female attention, but the grumpy lion shifter sure gets a lot of it. As the bouncer for Club Crimson, an exclusive club filled with beautiful men, he uses his patented glare to keep everyone at arm’s length. That is until a kind, curvy woman makes Max reconsider everything he thought about humans, as the lion inside him growls for his mate. 

Jackie Moore doesn’t know why she let her coworkers drag her out to Club Crimson. She’d rather stay home with a book than meet strange men, no matter how hot they are. But all that changes when a disastrous night leads Jackie to a helpless, small creature who needs her, and a gruff, terrifying, beautiful bouncer who might just be more than he seems.

The more time Max spends with Jackie, the more the possessive lion shifter longs to claim her as his mate. But first Max needs to tell her the truth about himself and Club Crimson, and with danger quickly approaching, he can’t afford to wait.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

While she hatches a plan, Crosby has other things on his mind. Namely, figuring out why his reindeer had to land in this very spot, on this very day. After seeing the lovely Holly, he’s starting to have a very good idea of what his animal had on its mind. The most important thing to any shifter, mate.

Plus size model, Madison, is comfortable in her own skin. She’s worked hard to create a life she loves. But when bodyguard, Rob, is hired to protect her comfortable is the last word she’d use to describe the way he makes her feel. 

Their attraction is instant. And mutual. 

But love at first sight? Madison has never experienced love at all. Not true, deep love. With a mother who thought more of her career than raising her daughter, Madison is unwilling to throw caution, or her heart, to the wind. 

However, Rob is no ordinary man. He hides an extraordinary secret. One that might just convince Madison his feelings are true and the bond between them is unbreakable. 

Rob’s life is in turmoil. His sister’s mate is missing, presumed dead, and she is heartbroken. Rob would do anything to take away her pain and make it right for her and her two young children. 

When Rob is given the task of protecting Madison and realizes she is his mate, he quickly understands just how strong the bond between a shifter and his mate truly is.
