A glowing mark. A stolen fate. And a man who awakens something wild inside her.

Private investigator Janelle Hawkins doesn’t do magic.  She deals in facts, danger, and the streets of Seattle.

But when a cryptic pendant burns against her chest and a strange mark ignites on her skin, she’s pulled into the dark, ancient forests of Esoterra—where nothing makes sense and everything wants her dead.

Then he appears.  Rosendo.  A golden-eyed guardian with a body carved by the wild… and a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew.

He doesn’t trust her.  She doesn’t trust him.  But their chemistry? Instant. Explosive. Forbidden.

As monstrous creatures close in and betrayals twist like knives, Janelle is forced to choose—run back to the safety of her old life… or surrender to the dangerous pull of a world that now claims her as its own.

Title:  Tiger Claw’s Stolen Embrace
Series:  Esoterra Shifters World #4
Author:  Amelia Wilson
Published:  September 25, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Tiger Claw’s Stolen Embrace is the fourth title in the Esoterra Shifters World series, featuring Janelle and Rosendo’s sizzling romance.

Janelle deals in hard, cold facts… not magic!  But she’s going to have to change that attitude when she receives a magical pendant that sends her straight into danger, and her future.  Rosendo is a tiger shifter, an enforcer who protects the Esoterra forests from enemies… and Janelle sure looks like she doesn’t belong, and he’s not about to accept his destiny without a fight.  But fate, and the irresistible pull he feels toward this woman, might tell a different tale.

I enjoyed Tiger’s Claws Stolen Embrace by Amelia Wilson; it’s full of the passion, the intensity, the danger, and the anticipation of finding the perfect mate unexpectedly that I’ve come to expect from this series.  Janelle and Rosendo aren’t going to make it easy on each other to accept that bond; they’ll have some rocky moments… but in the end, there’s no fighting against the attraction, the rightness of fighting for their future side by side.  If that’s your kind of Shifter Romance, then you’ll love Tiger’s Claws Stolen Embrace.
