Callan by Zoe Chant

Posted May 24, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Everything’s hotter down under. Especially the shifter cops.

When Ella was just a kid, her deadbeat dad ditched her in Australia. She’s still there, working as a biochemist. And apart from a few little trust issues, she’s gotten her life on track. Until now.

Her lab? Trashed. Her apartment? Destroyed. Her life? Over. And now she’s on the run with a mysterious and insanely hot cop who just happens to turn into a massive extinct beast, in the middle of the Australian wilderness, pursued by some really weird enemies.

Shifter cop Callan has been a tough field agent for ten years. He’s built his reputation on being cool, calm, and collected. But nothing’s prepared him for the maelstrom of emotions that the beautiful, fiery Ella unleashes within his heart. It goes against everything he’s been trained for, but when he realizes she’s his mate, he knows he has no choice but to help her – no matter where that leads them.

With a dangerous enemy hot on their heels and ghosts from Ella’s past coming back to haunt them, protecting her won’t be an easy job.

Can they solve the mystery before time runs out? Can sharing a Tim Tam slam by the campfire be enough to get Ella to open the heart she’s kept closed off for years?

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

Hector by Zoe Chant

Posted May 18, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Co-parenting a baby pegasus with the hottest guy you’ve ever met? That’s easy.

Learning to love Vegemite? That’s hard.

Myrtle thought her Australia trip was to study endangered moths. But her grant proposal should’ve said, “I propose to co-parent a baby pegasus shifter with an insatiable appetite for mashed apples while getting chased across the outback with a smoking hot Australian cop named Hector. Did I mention that he’s smoking hot?”

But Hector isn’t just any incredibly hot cop with an amazing accent – he’s also a griffin shifter, and he’s certainly being cagey about showing her his badge.

As an undercover operative for a secret law enforcement agency, Hector’s plan to take down a smuggling ring didn’t include a gorgeous woman who turned out to be his mate, the adorable baby pegasus who captured both of their hearts, or the deadly conspiracy that now has them on the run in the wild outback.

Now all Hector has to do is protect his new family, survive a landscape that’s trying to kill them, defeat the shadowy enemy that threatens to destroy them all… and teach his mate to appreciate Vegemite.

What could go wrong?

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

Tiles in the Outback Shifters series include — Hector – Callan –

When darkness comes for Avery, Brett is there, giving her a glimpse into a world she never imagined. A world of danger and magic and wonder.

Silver Unicorn by Zoe Chant

Posted May 12, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

If life begins at 40, why does it feel like it passed her by?

Until Jen’s husband died, her life revolved around him and his award-winning work. Now she’s a 50-something childless widow looking ahead to a long, lonely retirement. Her meetings with the Baker Street Writers’ Group are the only bright spots in her week.

And then he sweeps in — handsome, brilliant, and amazing, definitely the kind of man who wouldn’t be interested in a woman like Jen. Even if his touch sets her on fire, and she could lose herself forever in his eyes. But she can’t help feeling like he’s hiding something. She’s not going to let herself go through this again, and lose her heart to a man who could never put her first.

Of course, if he was going to finally find his mate, it would happen at the worst possible time!

King of an island of shifters, Nikos is in town to help his old friends Mikhail and Joey with their evil-dragon problem, and now he’s lost himself in a pair of beautiful eyes.

Jen is kind, lovely, and stronger than she knows, a perfect match for his unicorn. There’s nothing he wants more than to worship her as she deserves. But he has to hold her at arm’s length. If she’s hurt because of him, he’ll never forgive himself.

But neither of them is prepared for a shocking transformation that will rock both their worlds to the core and open both their hearts up to a kind of love they never believed existed.

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

Adding A Little More PNR to Shifter Haven

Posted May 7, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Haven Discussion / 0 Comments

Hello, my Shifter loving friends!

For years I’ve devoted Shifter Haven to only shifter related romances within the Paranormal Romance genre.  My love affair with shifters will never, ever end – just to be clear.  🙂

Yet, I’m finding that so many of my favorite shifter authors are beginning to add other ‘creatures of fantasy’ into their stories.  And, I’m fine with that – and usually review them on my other review blog, Keeper Bookshelf.  Still, there are many that have shifter connections, are linked to other larger, longer shifter series, or have shifters among the main characters of the book.

So.

You’ll be seeing more than shifters here over time.  Some in what you might not have considered genres like; Paranormal Cozy Mystery, or Paranormal Women’s Fiction, or Paranormal Romance, or… who knows what I’ll discover along the way.

I’m not moving away from the root of this website, which will always be shifter focused — but I am going along on the journey with authors that I trust to deliver amazing stories as they delve into other areas of the Paranormal world.  My sincere hope is that long-time readers of this blog will find other stories that they will enjoy and embrace while never losing their love of wolves, bears, tigers, lions… well you get the idea.

But, never fear, this website will always be a Shifter’s Haven above all else.

Tempting the Wild Wolf by Rayna Tyler

Posted May 5, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Loner… yes.

Antisocial… yes.

Can shift into a wolf that doesn’t play nice with others… absolutely yes.

There are reasons wild wolves avoid humans, stay out of cities, and never remain in one place long enough to call it home. Nick Pearson understood those reasons better than most, which was why he’d spent most of his life living as a drifter. A life that was upended when he inherited a partnership in a rundown mountain resort along with a brother and sister he hadn’t known existed.

The last thing he expected was to have Mandy Jenson, a gorgeous, wrench-wielding plumber, walk into his newly acquired existence. She was his mate and a temptation he couldn’t resist.

When a menacing evil plagues his home and threatens her life, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and claim her as his own.

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

Titles in the Seneca Falls Shifters series include — Tempting the Wild Wolf – Captivated by the Cougar – Enchanting the Bear – Enticing the Wolf – Teasing the Tiger
