Welcome to Helen’s CornerThis is the first book in the She-Shifters of Hell’s Corner series. This series is a spin-off of the Bears of Burden series, although each book can be read as a standalone.Carter Ray has vowed off men. She and her daughter, Jellybean, have found refuge in the mostly female-populated town of Helen’s Corner. She wants nothing to do with the visiting wolf shifter, despite … nothing to do with the visiting wolf shifter, despite his wickedly delicious scent that drives her bear into a frenzy.
The last thing Alec Patterson expected to find in the small southwestern town was his mate. Now, what’s he supposed to do with his fiancée?
NOTE: In the late 1800’s, on a homestead in New Mexico, a female shifter named Helen Cartwright was widowed under mysterious circumstances.
Helen knew there was power in the feminine bonds of sisterhood, and she provided an oasis for those like herself, female shifters who had been dealt the short end of the stick.
Like magic, women have flocked to the tiny town of Helen’s Corner ever since. Although, nowadays, some call the town by another name, Hell’s Crazy Corner.
WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT INTENDED FOR READERS UNDER AGE 18.

I really like Carter. She is spunky and comical. Alec is smart and strong and protective. He is apathetic about his love life until he finds Carter. Jellybean is a sweetheart. I love Carter’s brother. It is fun to see all the residents of Helen’s Corner. This is a quick and fun book. I did want more and I look forward to the other books in this series.
A cute story, that’s very easy to read, Carter and Alex had to work through some things to find their happily ever after but that just made the story better. The characters are easy to like, the plot is tight and the action flows smoothly. I loved the part where they weren’t ready for love, but it chased them anyway. This town is full of cool women with great potential. I enjoyed this story and highly recommend it!
What a fun read it was the perfect companion to a rainy day
Carter has had a pretty tough go at the romance game. She has her little Jelly bean and a new start in a small town, for now, that is enough. She isn’t looking for romance.
Did I mention she baked sweets like a goddess?
Alec is all about business. Even his fiance is just another transaction. Nothing beats the almighty buck. Until the sweetest scent of cupcakes and sugar cross his path (now you know why I mentioned she bakes sweets ).
Maybe it’s time to reevaluate? Seems their current recipes for success may not be working quite as well as they believed?
Can Alec see past the blinders or will his corporate pride cost him the sweetest of life’s tastes?
Can our sweet little Carter find her happiness?
This is my first taste of this series and I will definitely be returning for more. The story itself is a quick read written in true shifter fashion where the drive to claim your mate is stronger than anything else. So you know this has insta attraction all over it. The story flows well and the author packs a lot into the short time we spend with this couple. Me being me I would have loved more but what we are given left me with a whole lot of happy feels and I am hoping that as I continue with the series the picture will feel more complete.
What do you do when you finally find your mate while being engaged to another?
This is the predicament that Alec finds himself in and he is desperate to figure out what to do. I liked this character because he wasn’t mean about it but he knew he would have to break the engagement. Once a shifter meets its mate, its game over.
Carter is a strong character who is just trying to do right and raise her little girl the best that she can. However the appearance of Alec complicates this very much! She knows she should stay away from him because he is engaged, but her bear doesn’t care. All it sees is that he is hers.
