About this book
When a mysterious illness begins to sweep through Noctem Falls affecting the children, Eleanor Kimball is called to the city to see if she can determine what is wrong. As a pediatrician Eleanor loves children and desires many of her own, however, after several dating disasters she has not only sworn off men, but has given up her dream of a family, and the promise of a destined mate.
After discovering Grant in Noctem Falls she is faced with her own insecurities and finds it hard to believe in his love.
Grant Douglas is a man of few words and doesn’t do well surrounded by others. He is scared to death of finding a mate. He believes the harshness of his past, where he struggled to survive, didn’t cultivate a gentle heart. After a series of terrifying nightmares where his mate is at risk, Grant has decided he doesn’t want a mate at all.
When he meets Ellie, he realizes there are some things worth fighting for. Even if it means putting himself out there by becoming the Alpha he was born to be and facing the power he desperately tries to hide.
As Ellie starts to believe in Grant’s love it will take every ounce their combined strength to discover why the shifter children are suddenly falling ill before it’s too late.

I have been eagerly (and I mean eagerly) awaiting My Defender Book 8 in the Bewitched and Bewildered series. It was worth the wait and then some. I just found this series a couple of months ago and from the first book it quickly became one of my all time favorite series (I also should mention I was not really a paranormal fan prior to this series, but reading it, I could not help but love EVERYTHING about it). My Defender centers around quiet but lovable Grant Douglas finding his mate in Dr....

Wonderful addition to the Bewitched and Bewildered series. I love this author and this series. The storylines continue to have ingenuity, depth, and humor. It has intensity since we continue to deal with supernatural elements that surprise and intrigue. This book is about Grant and Eleanor (Ellie). Ellie is a doctor and comes to Noctem Falls to help with an illness that is affecting the children there. She meets Grant who is helping care for the children and has an interesting backstory...

My heart breaks for Grant, to be thrown out at such a young age and he had to teach himself everything including how to talk :*( I shed a few tears while reading about his past and I was so glad that he did find true family that loved him! I love Ellie first off she's an elephant shifter (so cool) she's a BBW (aren’t we all) and she seems to be just perfect for Grant and for what the city needs right now. She was a great character to introduce and I loved the relationship between them and...

This is one of my favorites of the series. I love how the two main characters think they are flawed and show each other how strong they truly are. This book has the perfect balance of a serious crisis mixed with humor and romance. I love that Ellie is a full figured woman who doubts her beauty even though everyone else sees it. It makes her so relatable. Merlyn is a delight and really shines in this book. )
