I thought my forties were gonna bite. But not quite like this.

My divorce from my controlling ex was final, but I had one last thing to check off on my list: Covering the tattoo of his name branded on my inner hip.

For comfort, I’d made an appointment with a fellow female, but she was overbooked and referred me to her colleague— Her ripped, gorgeous, very male colleague.

My skin flushed thinking of him working so close to an intimate spot, but Brody was a complete professional— Both during the appointment and between my sheets days later.

He even made an appointment at my dental office, just as an excuse to see me again.  But as I floss his teeth and one suddenly pierces my glove, I learn there’s another side of him: A wolf, simmering just beneath his tattooed skin.

Even crazier?  He tells me I’m now going to become one myself.  As in, a forty-year-old wolf lady.

Midlife crisis suddenly has a whole new meaning.

When her sister was killed, Dee Wixx’s soul shut itself away, never to see the light of day again, not even for a hunky bear shifter who was there for her at every turn. Her sister’s death dominated her past, present, and future. At least the murderer was in prison…until he showed up at her front door.

Nathan Pierce, the beta of the Pierce sleuth, found his mate, but she has locked herself away from trusting any man again. He sympathizes with what she’s suffering and is determined to get her through the tragedy…one way or another.

But he can’t sit back and watch her walk into danger when her life is threatened. Taking the case into his own hands, or paws, he’s led to something he never saw coming. Something that not only could kill his mate but end the entire sleuth.

He’s aware being near her might put her in harm’s way, but his wolf refuses to acknowledge it.

She’s returned to town, and he’s determined to make her his while promising to keep her safe.

Louis Perez is the last of his pack to find a mate, but he’s okay with that; there’s too much looming danger to focus on finding love right now. However, fate seems to have other plans in mind when the only woman he’s ever felt an undeniable connection with returns to town.

Addie Douglas is only in town while her mother heals from hip surgery. She’s not here to become sentimental about being back in town or to pine after the guy she was too scared to confess her feelings for before leaving. Once her mother is healed, she’s heading back to the city. That’s the plan—until she sees him, and her plan goes out the window.

When Louis and Addie find themselves in a dangerous situation, Louis is left with a difficult choice: unleash his wolf to keep her safe and risk scaring her away forever, or stay as he is and be unable to protect her from harm. Both come with their own sacrifices, but he knows which is greater.

Defender of Slaughter Mountain by T. S. Joyce

Posted March 30, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

Kian McHurne has unpaired himself from his mate. He had to do it for reasons he never wants to admit out loud. He put her in the care of the new King of the Bear Clan of Alaska, in hopes that she could have a better life, and survive the war that is coming for her. Their pairing was arranged, and they never quite took to each other. It’s better to cut losses and move on if they’re to be in two separate Clans now. Too bad Fate has other plans. When he’s cast into the new Clan to fight for his life, he sees the mate he left behind in a new light. She isn’t anchored down anymore, and the new-found freedom has done her good. Her inner grizzly is fierce, and she will make Kian pay every chance she gets, but for him? He will secretly cheer her on.
She should be fierce.
She should learn to fight.
She should learn to never back down because he knows a secret the new Clan doesn’t know—and it could be the end of them all.

Grizzly shifter, Eryn Laraway, has been shamed. When a pairing fails in the Bear Clan, it’s an unspeakable thing to happen, and her mate has chosen to do just that. Caught between the urge to curl up in a ball forever, or fight like a wild animal until she feels steady again, Eryn must figure out what to do with her life now. When Kian shows up with big warnings for her new Clan, she begins to appreciate the man he could’ve been…if he wasn’t a big, dominant, brute of a grizzly shifter. He’s just like the others of the Old Clan…right? Their pairing was always distant, but now he insists on teaching her things that are strictly forbidden by the Old Ways. The more she gets to know her growing self, the farther away her old life seems to be, and for the life of her, she can’t decide if Kian will ruin what she’s building, or protect it.

Bear in Mind by Terry Spear

Posted March 13, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Grizzly bear shifter Amy Rutherford has special abilities where she can hear voices in her head—the thoughts and feelings of others—and she needs to get control of it. It started way before she nearly died in a car accident during a rainstorm where her parents perished, and she’s sure the crash wasn’t an accident. But nobody believes her. She can’t let go of what had happened, and storms bring on a case of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. She was on a blind date while celebrating her sister and her husband’s anniversary and a storm rages overhead at the dance club. She’s assaulted by all the voices in her head until one stands out. A man is observing her, hiding his dark secrets from her, or trying to—and she’s not sure if he’s one of the good guys, or not.

Cedric Shader is a grizzly bear shifter and knows not to contact Amy the way he did at the dance club, instead of trying to meet her face-to-face first. But he senses her vulnerability and that she is experiencing psychic overload, just like he would when he was a kid. Now, he uses his ability to investigate murders, but the crime scene memories stay with him, though he tries hard to compartmentalize them, and he doesn’t want her to witness them. He told himself he is here on a job, not to become involved with a woman who has psychic issues. But she’s in trouble—and he’s certain she needs him to teach her how to cope. Worse, she believes someone had murdered her parents, and he’s beginning to wonder if she’s right. With a break-in at her apartment and a possible connection to the murder of her parents, they’re running out of time before the person kills again.
