Oh, it’s been a week from hell, guys.  I’ve been fighting an intense chest cold that is a breath away from bronchitis… I know that feeling ‘cos I’ve been there before.  Yet, I’ve also had book reviews from NetGalley due so just had to power through as best I could.

Truth is I miss my Shifters so much that I’m now opening up the next book in a series and I’ll be back to getting my first reading love reviews up real, real soon (coughing jags a consideration however).

Sorry I’ve been somewhat MIA – hopefully the worst is behind me.  (Tightly Crossed Fingers on that one)

Talk soon.

Running from trouble, running to trouble, and confronting the source. Two packs come together to defend against a mercenary biker gang. Expect motorcycles, wolves, a case of mistaken identity, a reluctant assassin, fiercely protective shifter men, three very different couples, and a whole lot of fun.

The Protectors of the Pack Complete Series Box Set contains all three books in the Protectors of the Pack series. There’s steamy, action-packed romance, scorching love scenes, and a happily ever after ending.

Bodyguard 
Forced together from worlds apart, it wasn’t what they wanted. But needs can change… 

Alex Briggs speaks her mind. After spending her life confined to the city, she finds the allure of running free as a wolf in the forest irresistible. When an unexpected threat strikes, Alex is forced away from the fight by the alpha of her pack—her father, and into the arms of a tall, sculpted stranger. 

Pulled away from the reconnaissance mission he wanted, Reynolds Parker is sent on a delivery. Completing the job proves difficult when he gets one look at the curvy vixen he is meant to escort. 

Challenged by each other and the hostile wolves that pursue them, the couple must work together if they want to survive. 

Enemies 
Sometimes love means taking a bullet. Right in the a– 

College student in the morning, coffee shop barista at night. Zoe Roberts is content to live her regular life by her regular routine. Everything goes according to plan until a strange man grabs her in a dark alley. Suddenly she’s not only supposed to believe in the existence of mythical creatures, but become an assassin for them. What could go wrong? 

Witt Parker is tired of waiting for the mercenary wolf pack to make their move. But, when it’s finally time to put an end to the Silent Butchers, nothing could prepare him for meeting the she-wolf sent to kill his twin. He could show her the wonders of being a shifter, if only he could convince her that he’s not her enemy. 

Heir 
I’ll show you what it means to be mine… 

Heir to a multi-billion dollar company. Heir to the alpha of the largest pack in the state. Wolf shifter Hunter Briggs works tirelessly to be worthy of his birthright. When his father falls ill, it’s up to Hunter to step up and take his place. But he can’t shake the feeling that someone close must be to blame. And his prime suspect, a gorgeous blonde bombshell, just might be the mate he’s been searching for. 

A big city. A fresh start. Grace Perry wants nothing to do with anything shifter. Most of all she is absolutely, one hundred percent, not looking for a mate. Unfortunately her new boss happens to be a wolf, who is convinced that someone is trying to kill him. When his suspicions become reality, Grace is determined to find out who is responsible. Too bad her boss’s way-too-smoking-hot son has the same idea. And she just can’t stop running into him.

Harden Archer had lost everything. His family, his friends, his homeland. Even his wolf. Now, living on the goodwill of the shifter territory of Cadia, he must find a way to recover from the torture he’s suffered in the past, become a productive member of society, and even find a mate. So when he receives a fancy invitation to the Shifter Ball, he decides that he’s going to go, even if it’s unlikely he’ll find a mate. But the moment his eyes land on the woman in the shimmering purple dress, he knows he was very, very wrong. 

Erika Rey was wasting her time. She wasn’t even sure she wanted a shifter for a mate. She was already carrying the child of one within her, thanks to a villainous—but now destroyed—human corporation. Did she really want to bring another into her life? Saying no to the invitation wasn’t really an option though. The shifters of Cadia had given her food, clothing, and shelter. The least she could do is go to the Shifter Ball. But she wouldn’t dance with anyone. Certainly not the unbelievably gorgeous Harden, whose lean, hard muscle and pale green eyes speak of so much pain. Absolutely not. No way. 

One dance later, the pair have hit it off, bringing smiles to both of their faces. The real challenge has just begun though. By associating herself with Harden, Erika finds out that she’s put a lot in jeopardy, including her unborn child. Not everyone likes the outsider, and several of them have made it their mission to run him out of town. Or else. But Harden is done backing down. It’s time to show them all who the big bad wolf in town really is. 

Sexy shifters and their feisty mates who aren’t shy about loving each other – so, this is an adult, 18+ reader tale.

It’s sometimes hard for me to believe that Shifter Haven has been up and running since December 5, 2015.  What started out as an additional blog for my special love for all things Shifter has become, if not my main blog, than my second home away from Keeper Bookshelf 

As we’re heading into June of 2017 I’ve managed to complete, so far, one goal for this blog for this year and onward – at least one daily post.  I’m happier with that amount rather than one post today and three the next and two the next  that was happening last year  I am so in love with scheduled posts now, I don’t know how I could keep up this pace without them.  Occasionally you’ll still see two posts when I’ve finished a current story that already has the previous ones in the series posted – and to keep timely for authors for I do understand the value of timely posts of new releases.

I’ve met some amazing, talented authors through this blog.  Some have requested reviews of their current books, others I’ve “met” while scrolling through the books over at Amazon.  I’ve tried to add new to me authors often, of course, we all have our favorites – but that list can always be increased with new talent.  I’ve loved seeing the different slants on Shifter lore from different authors, that always keeps my reading interesting and lively for certain.  Discovering Kindle Unlimited (a thank you to my son’s Christmas gift one year) has only broadened my horizons on Shifter stories and other genre.  The length of the majority of Shifter Romance stories is long enough to give me a good story experience, and short enough that I can easily fit in an hour or two of reading at some point in the day to keep that daily post goal of mine a reality.

Now that I’m fairly certain that I can keep this scheduled ahead pace going, it’s time to start up the second goal I have for Shifter Haven this year.  And that is to go back to the authors and series that I began reading long before this blog was even a distant wish.  Authors like Christine Feehan and her amazing Shifter series to which I’m addicted.  Her Leopard series is a favorite but, gosh, I love the (Dark) Carpathians so much that I’m tempted to start putting the Carpathians here as well for while there may be vampires there are also shapeshifters as well.  So Leopard series for certain.  Carpathians probably.  A Lion’s Pride series by Eve Langlais will be starting this week – I’m enjoying re-reading those to update my memory before I do the reviews.  And a few others that I’ll get started on this year.  Most require a re-read for I want my memory of the story to be correct, but re-reading those stories is no harsh chore at all.

I believe I have a handle on how I want the rest of the year to go for Shifter Haven – but life often has other plans, so I’ll just cross my fingers for luck.  But it does feel good to have a plan of operational intent in place, on paper at least *grin*
