We’ve been left a terrible legacy…
Can we ever escape?
Connor
Our parents died in a tragic accident, taking secrets with them.
Our destiny now? A snake shifter existence none of us want.
Me and my brothers can never leave Pythos for long.
And to top it all, vigilante assassins are out to kill us.
It’s lonely being damned to stay in this small desert town.
Riding my Harley keeps me sane…until … my Harley keeps me sane…until it leaves the road.
Now I’m banged up in the hospital. Waiting to heal.
I can’t see her yet, but I’m falling for my doctor.
Her scent, her voice, her touch, everything about her.
She’s driving me wild…and I have to make her mine.
Short, hot, and over the top! If you love bad boys, overly possessive alpha males, totally unrealistic instalove romance, (maybe even a bit cheesy) this one’s for you! No cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA!

That was an amazing read that I couldn’t put down. I’ve never read a cobra shifter romance book this is the first and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Tilly Pope has an amazing style of writing. I enjoy reading about all her characters and her themes fit so right with the characters. I can’t wait to read her next book.

I normally do not like anything having to do with snakes but the description was very convincing and I gave it a try. I thought that this book was well thought out and written. It did not get muddled like so many hort stories do nowadays. While it felt a little rushed at the end overall I found it to be a good, short read.

Snake Charmer………But can he charm her?
Hissy Fit is the first book in the new PNR series Cocky Cobras which is about the four McKinley brothers who are all cobra snake shifters. This story is about Connor and Alana. Connor is thirty years old and is the second McKinley brother. The brothers parents were killed in a plane crash seven years ago and since then the brothers have all taken over the family garage. From an early age Connor was taught by his father the business side – taxes, payroll, vendors, customers, etc. But he did discover that he has a passion and talent for motorcycles and works on restoring and repairing them in his own shop at the family home.
The brothers never knew that their parents were shifters so it was a big surprise when Connor opened the safe after their death and found a notebook written by his father. In it there was all the information for the business but also the family history. The men in his father’s family are all king cobra shifters, descended from the asp that Cleopatra held to her breast. Sometimes the men do not shift until they are adults which is what has happened with the brothers. Their shifting can also be brought on by stress and anxiety, so it is important that they stay calm.
One day while riding his motorcycle Connor is hit by a car which ran a red light. He is brought into the hospital ER where Dr. Alana Samuels is one of the attending physicians looking after him. They sedate him and look after his wounds, which include a lot of gravel embedded in his eyelids. Connor has to stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks as he is healing since he cannot open his eyes. During that time Alana does check up on him to ensure that he is healing properly. One day after her shift Alana checks in on him again and when she introduces herself to him he does not respond. She notices that he is listening to a podcast, which also happens to be one of her favorites. They start chatting and before you know it several hours have past. Each day after that Alana visits with Connor, including when he is discharged and goes home, still with his eyes bandaged and unable to open them. During this time Alana lets Connor know of her hatred towards snakes. Her younger sister had been bitten by a snake while they were hiking and she died in her arms before she could be rescued. This is what drove Alana to specialize in snake venom and treating patients who have been bitten by snakes, which she is building a reputation for.
When Connor has his bandages taken off by his ophthalmologist and opens his eyes to see Alana for the first time she freaks out. His eyes are those of a snake and not anything like his brothers. Connor looks in the mirror at himself and also turns his hands over and over to ensure he is not shifting. Alana cannot handle the situation and takes off running with Connor following behind. He ends up saving her from a car, by shifting, and she then awakes in the hospital. When she remembers what happened she runs out of the hospital and drives to Connor’s house to get some answers. Boy he has some explaining to do!!! But he is ready to tell the entire truth and put his heart on the line as he loves Alana and knows that she is the one meant for him.
This is a wild short story. I have never read a snake shifter story before so it was a little different, plus I hate snakes bit time. The story-line is OTT, fast-paced, entertaining and a bit different. The characters were both good and bad in some ways and I did not get the deep connection feels between Connor and Alana. Yep their coming together was heated but it was also rushed for me. But overall I did find this Hissy Fit entertaining and will be reading the next in the series when it comes out.
This is a well-written, short, shifter romance story in the Cocky Cobras Series with characters that have their parents die in a tragic accident. They are some great characters that have to deal with some drama, danger and they have lots chemistry with their mates and this is the first book of the 4 brothers. He meets her after his motorcycle accident and she is his doctor. A must read shifter series

A fun and different PNR. Usually shifter romances are about wolves, bear, lions, tigers, dragons, and more, but this one has a surprising take: Snakes – cobras in particular. Tilly Pope has created a world where shifters are known to the populace, but are also feared and hunted. Killing one is only a misdemeanor! Given this climate, many shifters live in secret, protected by an organization called The Federation.
Connor and his brothers are cobra shifters, and only learned of it when their parents died on an accident. All four are slowly coming to terms with their loss and new way of life, when Connor himself is in a motorcycle accident, resulting in weeks of recovery, waiting for his eyes to heal. The only up side being, he meets the love of his life Alana, a resident at the hospital. Taking their time, these two become inseparable, but Connor is still hiding a secret!
I really enjoyed this fun and sexy romance. I’m looking forward to reading about Connor’s brothers finding their mates!

A cobra shifter is hurt in a motorcycle accident. The Dr that treats him can not stop thinking about him. The H has suffered injuries to his eyes and is hospitalized for awhile. The Dr decides to follow up and visits him in his hospital room. From there the relationship grows and after some drama they get their hea.
While I have given this story 4* that is compared to other short stories. It is hard to get a well rounded story in short books so I rate them with that in mind. Regular length novels are held to a higher standard.

Connor McKinley and his three brothers were left on their own when their parents died in a plane crash the night they were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. They are still trying to figure out some of the secret things their parents hadn’t told them, like the fact that they are cobra shifters! Descended from the asp that bit Cleopatra, all males in their family line become cobra shifters at some point in their lives! Their mother, human because the dragon-shifter gene skips a generation, still contributed to her sons’ shifting ability to become cobras. High emotions cause their first shift, as a terrified Connor shifted for the first time at their funeral! Because of vigilante groups that kill all shifters with no legal penalties, the government formed a Federation, with an unidentified someone to guard and protect each shifter group in a registered area. So Connor and his brothers can never leave their hometown or they lose the protection. And this privilege to be kept safe costs them 20% of their income.
Connor had gone out to ride his motorcycle and was involved in an accident when a car ran a red light and struck his Harley. Because he had gotten gravel in his eyes, his face was bandaged. He got close to his doctor, a resident named Alana Samuels, who visited him while he was healing, not aware that he is a cobra shifter; but a cobra had caused the death of Alana’s sister years ago. Alana has now become a specialist in poisonous snakes and their venom and is called in by other hospitals for consults when needed. But Connor can tell she hates snakes. He should have told her what he is. But he wants to be able to “see” her when he tells her everything. And he doesn’t want to lose her.
Even being home, Connor’s eyelids were not healed, but finally the big day came. Alana went with him to have Dr. Patel remove them. But when Connor opened his eyes, she saw the black pupils and irises of a COBRA! She gasps, turns, and runs from the building as fast as she can. Is it over for good with Connor now? Can she overcome her horrible fear and listen to him? And even if she does, will it make a difference?
A solid fast pace paranormal romance! It is short, quick, well written, engaging, passionate, and steamy with some drama, secrets, and twists. The characters are likeable; their chemistry is instant! Definitely recommended!

“They’ve been left a terrible legacy. Can they ever escape?” This was a very interesting start to a series. Enjoyed it. Complicated characters, and challenging circumstances. Very steamy.

Connor and Alana
This is the first book in a new series by Ms. Pope. It’s based around four brothers who find that they are were-snakes. I will admit that I almost passed on this series because of that small detail. I HATE snakes!! Connor is the first brother to get a story. I felt like a lot of the book was used to set-up the backstory and building this new world. The love story between Connor and Alana was a little “rushed” in my opinion but still enjoyable.

The snake shifter genre is not your typical read so decided to give it a try, the author had said it might be over the top so was expecting something really big and fun. Unfortunately for me there was a lot of things that made no sense in the plot like the “Federation” protectors of the snake shifters that seemed more like mafia types that you paid for protection. What size are they when they shift? Taking weeks for Connor to heal from his injury. Since he’s a shifter I’m sure there would be differences in his blood work…etc. things like that.
Alana in the beginning came across pretty on the ball since she was a doctor doing her residency at the hospital. Then she seemed to turn into a nurse then an emotional, hysterical teenager.
I know they were intimate but for me I didn’t feel chemistry at all. Then Alana going through her hysterics, with her being a doctor I expected a bit more or a calmer more analytical approach to this new specie. I do get why she reacted the way she did initially due to what happened in her past but her over the top move just made me roll my eyes.
There was no joy in this shifter series for me they treated it like it was a curse and something ugly.
