Enticing the Wolf by Rayna Tyler

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

Jac Dubois never let her overbearing colonel father, or the issues with her cat, keep her from enjoying an adventurous life. She didn’t live in one place long enough to truly call it home and is looking forward to settling down in her new position at a Colorado mountain resort. All of her plans for the future change the second she meets Reese. He’s dominant, organized, and ex-military—everything she’s sworn to avoid in a male. Not to mention, he’s her mate.

Wolf shifter Reese Reynolds has always been the one in charge, the one who takes care of everyone else. He’s traveled the world, served a tour for his country, all without ever finding his mate. He’s convinced that being alone is his destiny and throwing himself into the leadership role for his family’s business will have to be enough to satisfy him.

At least that’s what he believes until the new photographer arrives and turns his well-ordered life into chaos. To make matters worse, she’s his mate and totally convinced the great shifter matchmaker made a mistake.

Can Reese persuade Jac to stay, or will her beliefs and a new threat to his family’s home keep them apart forever?

Now my young son is hunted by criminals. 

A gorgeous bear shifter saves my child’s life, and mine.

To my shock, I crave his touch. 

He wants me as his mate. And my son wants him as a father. 

But this shifter is a soldier, and he lives a dangerous life.

Iron Flats Exile by Elle Thorne

Posted July 1, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Rachel Kane’s recovering from a broken heart. And she’s broke. She’s flat out broke and homeless since she found her boyfriend in her best friend’s arms in the home that he and Rachel shared. A home he owned, so of course, she’s out on her ear now. She’s got an invitation to take an opportunity that takes her out of state and pays for her living expenses.

Maybe some clouds do have silver linings. She’ll take that offer to go to Nevada and study mustangs.

Luke Everhart’s got one thing on his mind. Being left the hell alone. He’s been exiled from his pack—and that’s just fine—and now makes his home near Iron Flats Mesa on the Virginia Range in Nevada. He gets along great with the mustangs that make their home there, and they’re the only company he needs. In fact, he’s their self-appointed guardian, protecting them from some of the ranchers and government bureaucrats who want to manipulate disrupt their freedom. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a certain woman who’s been skulking around, checking out the mustangs, making notes, riding a damned UTV all over the range. He knows she’s from the government, and he has zero trusts in the Bureau of Land Management. He’s wreaked havoc on their expeditions before. Little Miss Hot Researcher has another think coming if she believes she’s going to be able to turn in any research on his band of horses.

How’s Rachel supposed to complete her job when she’s harassed by wolves and a hunky, muscular, blue-eyed, dark-skinned hottie who doesn’t want to do much more than grunt his responses and howl at the moon?

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

Shifter Haven’s Weekly Wrap-Up #1

Posted June 28, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Haven Discussion, Weekly Wrap-Up / 0 Comments

This post has been shared on The Sunday Post, a weekly recap from so many amazing blogs is hosted by Kimberly over at Caffeinated Reviewer.  This word link and the graphic will take you there – enjoy.  🙂

I’ve not done a Weekly Wrap-Up for Shifter Haven before.  I’m not really sure why that is, but no time like the present, right?

So – Hi, I’m Marsha, I run Shifter Haven (and Keeper Bookshelf) … and three blogs that I plan to play around with shortly (I know, but I’ve learned a lot in the years I’ve been doing this so I’d like to see what the differences might be if I applied that knowledge right from the start. *shrug*)

Shifter Haven is my escape blog – it truly is.  I love Paranormal Romance, but especially the sub-genre of Shifters.  I don’t know of many blogs around that focus only on Shifters but that wasn’t my purpose in doing it but simply because I love these stories, the adventures, the sexy shifters, and the worlds that I get to visit often.  Plus, a lot of Shifter Romance stories are available in the Kindle Unlimited subscription so that gives me access to a lot of books when the book budget wouldn’t allow their purchase.

That’s my introduction of myself and the blog.  🙂  Now, onwards to the books that were read and reviewed this past week.

This Week’s Books (6/21/2020 – 6/27/2020)

This was a week of trying new authors, new pen names, and diving back into a relatively new-to-me author’s series.  Some weeks I have the time to read and review daily, other weeks it’s scheduled posts every other day… but no matter how often I talk about Shifter Romance I won’t ever stop enjoying it or having a blast getting lost in these sexy, intriguing worlds.

Sold to the Beast by Ruby Knoxx

Posted June 26, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter MC (Motorcycle Club), Shifter Series / 0 Comments

She’s been bought by a monster.

Her pack has sold her to science. Not just science, but the dark, sick side of science.

My job is simple. I’m being paid to turn in whoever set up these monstrous labs. But once I see her, the Bear in me is clawing, roaring, bull-heading his way out of me.

I never lose my mind, but for her, I do. I lose all sense of propriety, all sense of duty and mission. I need to break her out of here.

I don’t know where this is going. But I have two options: I can guess, or I can bluff. I choose to bluff.

Let them try to stop me. I’ll tear their throats out. I’ll fight to the end.

‘Cause she belongs to me.

We’re the Bear Justice MC. We’re like paid vigilantes, on the hush-hush end of things, making sure that justice is served in this world. We’re kept off the books, off the radar, and if we ever get caught doing what we do… things won’t be pretty. But there’s no rest for the wicked. So let’s get the engine roaring. Duty calls.

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

Titles in the Bear Justice MC series include — Sold to the Beast – Mated to the Beast – Broken Out by the Beast – Claimed by the Beast – Rescued by the Beast – Kidnapped by the Beast – Tamed by the Beast –

The Dragon Prince of Alaska by Elva Birch

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

An unplanned promotion to a princess!

Carina was just trying to advance to a manager position at her accounting firm. Instead, she uncovered the dirty secrets of a giant bank, got framed for murder, and fled the country. Now she’s hiding out in a van with a stray dog in the kingdom of Alaska…

…And a gorgeous park ranger is telling her that she’s his destiny (and also, camping illegally on royal land).

Before she knows it, she’s whisked off to a palace on the arm of a dragon shifter (!) prince and fitted for a crown…because she’s been chosen by an ancient magic spell to be the mate of the next king of Alaska.

As the youngest (and arguably most unsuitable) prince, Toren never thought that he would be tapped to rule, but he knows that Carina is worth the weight of his new duties. Now he’s just got to figure out how to be a king, and even more importantly, how to protect his queen-to-be from old enemies…and new foes who will stop at nothing to see Alaska fall.

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

Enchanting the Bear by Rayna Tyler

Posted June 22, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Bear shifter Bryson Cruise is a man of few words. He says what needs to be said when it needs to be said and lives his life the same way. Working security at a Colorado mountain resort is the perfect job and suits his loner lifestyle just fine.

Then he meets Leah Jacobson, and for the first time in his life, he’s speechless. He’s never been big on dating, never had lasting relationships, and didn’t know the first thing about courting a mate. Add in the fact that Leah is human, has no clue shifters exist, and things get way more complicated.

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

Single Dad Matchmate by Jade Alters

Posted June 19, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Victoria is successful in every part of her life… except when it comes to love.  She’s put her blood, sweat, and tears into building her company.  But she’s still unfulfilled.

She’s dated the so-called “cream of the crop” of investment bankers, lawyers, doctors, and even CEOs…   Uninspired, the result always ends up being the same – an empty bottle and an empty bed.

Luke

Ex-military. Single dad. Bear shifter.
Standing in at 6’4, Luke is all brawn.
Big muscles.
Big hands.
Big heart.

But BIG isn’t enough to handle his two children… Let alone the town that relies on him to fill the Sheriff’s shoes.

When fate brings these two opposites together, there is an instant attraction.  However, things are far from perfect as Luke and Victoria are confronted with new challenges that push them over the edge in more ways imaginable.

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

Kelos by Harmony Raines

Posted June 15, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

His mate is on the run. His dragon will do whatever it takes to protect her…

Will their love survive?

Dragon shifter, Kelos, has lived a solitary life. When he finally decides to settle down in Bear Creek the last thing he expects is to find his true mate. After all, he’s waited centuries for her.

It’s love, and lust, at first sight. But Kelos needs to keep his emotions in check until the danger surrounding his mate is dealt with.  Who is he trying to fool? There’s no way this dragon shifter can deny his feelings for his mate. Which means he has to deal with the people threatening his mate’s family now.  Would breathing dragon-fire over their foe or perhaps biting their head off be overkill? Unfortunately, those days are way in the past and they have to play by the rules of the modern world. Pity.

A phone call from her brother sends Amber on the run with her sister-in-law and two children. Sworn to keep them safe, she travels to the house of an old friend…never expecting to meet a dragon shifter who claims she is his mate.  Amber doesn’t have time to deal with being anyone’s mate. Not when her brother’s family is in danger.

However, meeting Kelos is a blessing in disguise, literally, since he swears to protect them with his life. Not that she wants him to die any time soon.  Especially not when she’s already falling in love with him. Who wouldn’t? He’s handsome, strong, and has a primal need to protect her. 

His treasure is not so bad either!  But he says he’d give it all up for her. Now that’s how to win a woman’s heart.

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

Titles in the Spring – Shifter Seasons series include – Kelos –

(in my way of keeping track of series/spin-off series this Shifter Season series is broken down by season — although it seems that the book numbers are continuing chronologically – in any event, they are amazing series that definitely connect)

Titles in the Winter – Shifter Seasons series include – Hex – Beck – Mac

This series is a spin-off from the Return to Bear Creek world and the Seasoned Silverback Shifters as well – if you love anything by Harmony Raines, including her many connecting series then please visit our Harmony Raines page for lists of series and titles (almost all) reviewed here at Shifter Haven.
