Rogue Wolf Shifters cannot have fated mates, they said. Well… the heavens just smiled on me.
Maybe it's because I have no pack but use my abilities for good not harm. I live in plain sight, working as a firefighter in a small mountain town.
On a routine fire call, I catch a whiff of Vanilla and Wildflowers, her.
My wolf lost his damn mind.
Tessa Baker, trauma nurse with green eyes, and curves that make my control slip.
She doesn't know shifters exist. Doesn't know everything in me screams she’s mine.
We have a moment across a busy fire scene. Our eyes lock. My wolf howls. I take it slow, coffee, dinner. I find out her ex is stalking, escalating, threatening.
I offer a safe place to stay, my protection. In my cabin.
Her psycho ex just hired a hunter. And our mate bond is making it impossible to let her go.
Worst case scenario? She finds out what I am and runs—straight toward the man who wants her dead.

I liked the first book on Cameron but it was short, so I decided I read the next one with Tessa. I really enjoyed the story line and the characters in this book.

The banter between him and his wolf made me laugh. Great job. Five stars. )

This book was really a fun read. The characters were very interesting. I loved the way each new important character was introduced and allowed to develop seamlessly.

I did not need 7 POVs. I get a little why would you put her sister and BF in the there but it was not needed. You could have included their commentary one of the FMC or MNC POVs and lost nothing within the story. I truly think this could be a great shifter series. I love the voices and mythology but there...

Loved the suspense AND the correct military terminology. This author knows her stuff. It was finally great to read the heroine get her revenge. )

I am OBSESSED! It helps that one of the main characters name is my name!!! This story was so exciting and steamy. It was a perfect blend of heat, suspense, and emotion in this fated-mates paranormal romance. The chemistry between Cam and Tessa is magnetic—raw, intense, and so well written that you feel every pull of their bond. I loved that Cam isn’t your typical alpha shifter. His rogue status adds mystery, depth, and a refreshing twist to the classic wolf-shifter dynamic. Tessa is equally...
