About this book
The head of Orsino Security was hired to protect this curvy fashion designer for a week. Instead, his bear wants to claim her forever.
It takes one look for bear shifter Salvatore Orsino to know that Natale Durante isn't just his client… she’s his mate. His first instinct is to lay Natale’s curvaceous body over his shoulder, find a den, and claim her with his bite. But this beautiful head-strong woman only grudgingly endures his protection even as she welcomes him in her bed. He’ll have to set aside his bear’s need to mark her until he’s eliminated the threat to her life. Once she’s safe, he’ll turn all his energy convincing her that he isn’t after a short-term dalliance, he wants her, with him… forever.
Natale Durante knows that Durante Fashion House is on its last legs. Her new line, designed for women of every size and shape, is her last attempt at saving her family’s legacy. But there are those in high fashion who prefer that things stay the same, saying curves belong on the road, not the runway. When complaints and hate mail escalate to threats of bodily harm, her father hires a bodyguard—Salvatore Orsino. He’s over six feet of deliciously seductive muscular male and a distraction she can’t afford. One look from him and she wants her infuriatingly persistent protector to rip off her clothes with his teeth, or she might do the same to him.
Can Salvatore eliminate the threats to Natale or will he lose her before he has a chance to claim her?

This is the first book in this series. I love shifter books and this one was not disappointing. Natale Durante is being threatened. Her family has been in the fashion business for decades. Her family’s fashion house needs a boost and her line was chosen to be their new line. Her father has hired security because of the threats and fashion week almost here. Salvatore Orsino was hired to protect her and with one look he knows he would give his life for hers. She is his mate. Natale isn’t happy...

When the threats against Natale Durante continue to escalate, her father decides to hire Orsino Security to protect her. They are in the home stretch for a major fashion show that will be showcasing Natalie’s new line, Bellezza, that is designed for women of different sizes. This show is important to Natalie as a designer but also critical for the future of Durante House. I like how the author has a strong female character who is forward thinking in women’s fashion, wanting clothing that...

What an eye-opening book for me! I am not a huge fan of paranormal/shapeshifter/fantasy stories, but I do dip my toe in those waters occasionally. So when an author I love comes out with such a book, I do not hesitate to dive in. With Reina Torres, I know the characters will be fully developed, the writing perfect and the plot engrossing. But I never expected to fall so in love with such a story! The blurb says it all - Natalie Durante is being threatened and stalked, so her beloved grandfather...

The technical stuff: This book is part of a larger series but it completely stands alone and DOES NOT end on a cliffhanger. There is very minimal cursing (no f-bombs), on-screen sex and some very quickly described violence. If those things are going to cause you leave a bad review, you should skip this one. I don't read shifter books. Paranormal is just not a genre that appeals to me normally, but I am a huge fan of Reina Torres' writing so I decided to give this one a try and I am SO glad that...
