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

I shouldn’t want Celine …

She’s vulnerable, pregnant by a vampire, and hunted by everyone, including my own clan.

The difference is, I was sent to bring her here and keep her safe.

Everyone else?

The other shifters want to kill her, and the vampires … well, everyone knows that vamps can’t be trusted.

But spending time with her, keeping her and her new baby safe, getting to know her and win her trust … I can’t help my growing feelings.
Even though I know she’s strictly off-limits.

But despite her growing trust in me, she’s still wary of our Alpha’s intentions. Can I assure her that she’s safe with me no matter what?

Or will her persistent distrust drive her out of my arms … and into danger?

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

Dragon with Benefits by Terry Bolryder

Posted March 30, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Everything can change in a moment…

Trevor didn’t think that a single outburst directed at his takeout would come back to haunt him. After all, as an immortal dragon, being in the public eye isn’t supposed to happen. But the thing haunting him is actually an audaciously persistent reporter who’s determined to get her next story at any cost. Even if it means awakening the dragon in him to the realization that this woman may just be his mate.

Petra knows that all things in life come at a price. So when her boss holds the one thing she thinks she wants most–her promotion– hostage, she is ready to do anything. Even track down the mysterious, strikingly handsome man caught throwing a tantrum on a viral video. But she never expected that coming face to face with the most amazing, frustrating man on earth just might turn her world upside down.

One interview is all it takes for the sparks to start flying between the closed-off Trevor and Petra. But even though she’s sworn off romance, her tall, relentless recluse seems intent on making her life complicated. The kind of complicated that could give a girl ideas of happily ever after.

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

Savage Claim by Cecilia Lane

Posted March 28, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Blood on the claws. Love on the run. Like crazy father, like darkness bound son.

Lion shifter Lindley denied his power and fled his dysfunctional pride to save his life. After a decade of trying to escape the hell in his soul, he runs into the woman he loved and abandoned.

Runs, literally… as in with his truck.

His instinct is to chase her away, but if he doesn’t save his fated mate, he’ll be forever lost to encroaching madness.

Kyla is on the run. Her best friend was just sold to the highest bidder, and she’s up next. But fate flings her into the path of the man she loved—and who left her to suffer.

He’s not the boy Kyla remembers, but the man stakes a savage claim.

Lindley must put aside the fear of his inner darkness and forge his aggression into a deadly weapon. Kyla must blossom from an awkward cub into a graceful lioness, and learn to raise her roar and her claws. If either of them falters, the consequence is not just broken hearts, but broken lives.

Fated in Forbidden by Keira Blackwood & Liza Street

Posted March 26, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Being with her is like soaring, even with my feet firmly planted on the ground.

Her life is an open book, recorded for the world to see. But when I watch her videos, I know it’s a performance. She’s an actress, hiding her truth.

There’s sadness behind her positive words and generous smiles. There’s pain that I want to kiss away.

She pretends to be the persona she’s created, but I see the real her.

She finds a little dog who’s as lost as she is. Where it runs, she follows. But it’s me who’s following her.

I’m head over heels for a woman I’ve just met. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine.

Obsessed with the Alpha Wolf by Brittany White

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

Only she could soothe the storm raging inside him…

She only knows me as a firefighter who saved her life.
My truth is much darker.
She might never forgive me once she finds out who I really am.

Something dangerous is coming for his pack. Ben Stokes, wolf shifter and Alpha of the Lenox pack can feel it deep in his bones. His problems are only compounded when he meets a human woman, who he is drawn to despite knowing that tangling with a human would spell disaster. And Ben cannot explain why his instincts want to turn him into her protector. He knows that he shouldn’t get close to her… but he can’t stop himself.

Lana Deary has come to Lenox to start a new business and new life. Only things don’t go according to plan when she arrives to find her business a smoldering mess and her attraction to Ben Stokes, the hot firefighter she meets on the scene is not part of her plan.

As Ben tries to hold his pack together as the feeling of danger ramps up, and Lana tries to rebuild the ruins of her life, the attraction between the two of them is undeniable. But as their passion grows, so does the danger to the love blossoming between them.

And when an old enemy does come to Lenox, Ben will have to choose between love for his pack and love for the woman who may just well be his mate.

Savage Pride by Cecilia Lane

Posted February 17, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Alpha lion who is all growl and bite?
Defiant human with a broken heart?
An enemy out to break them both?

Running from a devastating betrayal, Hailey’s wound is salted when car trouble strands her in the path of a snarly lion shifter with a chip on his shoulder the size of Pride Rock.

She can’t decide what’s worse—his snarky, human-hating attitude, or the fact that her judgment sucks and she is falling in love with the devil in sexy blue jeans. But refusing to trust will cost her more than her future happiness… it could cost her life.

Alpha lion Trent has no one but his pride, a group of misfits holding onto control by a claw under his leadership. He doesn’t need the complication of a stubborn, mouthy, human woman who looks him in the eye and sets off every instinct to claim.

Especially since his uncle is threatening to solve Trent’s Hailey problem with violence.

Trent isn’t the only one who wants to see all humans kicked out of town and lions back at the top of the food chain. He’s just the only one who is starting to change his mind…

…the only one who realizes that the love of a mate is worth fighting, dying, and forgiving for.

Make Her New by T. S. Joyce

Posted February 13, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Everyone has Hunter Kaid all wrong. Even his own brother writes him off as unintelligent, but not all smarts are the same. He just needs one person to understand him and listen to what he’s really saying. All of his life, he’s been searching for that one person who really takes the time to see him, and just when he’s about given up, he stumbles upon Sadey. She’s hurt one of his pack-mates, and his loyalty to his people wars with his interest in this human woman with a sad smile and a good heart. He might not be the brightest apple in the bunch, but he has a talent for seeing the good in people, and Sadey Lawklin is oozing with goodness that he can’t ignore. A hurt woman like her needs time and patience before he tries to change her life, but the closer she gets to him, the more his inner wolf wants to claim her. And now he can’t tell who is in more danger—himself, or her.

Sadey Lawklin is in the armpit of her life. She’s dug herself into a hole that will be nearly impossible to dig out of, and the very first thing she needs to do is apologize to the people she’s hurt before she can heal herself. She has a plan to turn her entire life around in a matter of weeks, but one thing she didn’t plan on is another man sniffing around her. This is the worst timing to get attached to someone, and especially someone as agile and deadly as a Kaid Brother. No one messes with the Kaids. Everyone in town knows who they are, but they haven’t figured out what they are. And when Sadey discovers Hunter’s deep, dark, and terrifying secret, she’s sucked down a rabbit hole that just might break her…unless the watchful wolf who has chosen her can Make Her New.

All reviews on Shifter Haven are my own personal reflections on Paranormal Shifter Romance Novels that I have read. These stories are either owned by me in my personal physical book or Kindle edition library, or were given to me as gifts from friends - and occasionally an author for review. I also borrow books through my Kindle Unlimited plan. And of course, many of my reviews are made possible through the kindness of publishers using NetGalley by allowing me to read advance copies of not yet published books in exchange for an honest review. No money passes hands for any of my reviews. All my opinion, good or bad.
