Loved the tension and the mystery between Gabe and Emersyn. He’s a bear, she’s a panther. They met in the military and were mates but he left and went to Delta Force. She thought he didnt care. He causes problems while on a dangerous mission. Is Lucas a bear or cat?
I really liked the way Emersyn and Gabe met and that this is their second chance. I liked how strong Emersyn was and even though it took him away from her I liked that Gabe wanted to help his family. I really enjoyed reading about their second chance.

Dr. Emersyn and her baby Lucas are trying To make it on their own with the help of a college friend. She tries not to think about Lucas’s dad her mate whom she never told about the baby. Gabe is excited about the new opportunity the Shifter OPS offer but he is shocked when Emersyn walk in as the medic for the group. Watching these two struggle with all the changes is captivating. The characters are very real in their emotions and struggles. It is a very good story.

I enjoyed reading this book , it has a good storyline, and is filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. The interaction and chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
After reading about S.O.S in the previous two cities, we now find ourselves in Los Angeles with the new group. We get to meet Gabe, an ex Delta Force who made a decision for the sake of his mum and sisters. Emersyn, a doctor who treats those that don’t have insurance and was in the military. There was the usual Conclave business going on and the troubles they had to sort out and Emersyn had a secret that Gabe knew nothing about. It had the fights and angst and I really enjoyed it.
After his discharge from the military, Gabe got a second chance at doing what he loves to do. He did not expect his old flame being part of his new team. Since he is so big on family, I would have liked to see him call his family as soon as he learned about his kid.

I totally enjoyed this excellent book. Gabe is very possessive of Emersyn, she wants to do for herself. They have an up and down relationship, never a dull moment. I couldn’t put it down, was pulled in from the beginning. Loved when everything came together for the wonderful ending.

L.A. Force

So much so that he leaves the woman who may be his mate behind to be able to provide for his mom and sisters. What will he do when he finds that Emersyn wasn’t the only one he left behind? This was a great read and start to a new series.

This book is incredible! The Special Ops Shifters are expanding to LA and Vance’s friend Gabe, a bear shifter, is looking to join. He meets Garrison and Hudson from DC and the first thing on the agenda is finding a headquarters. That out of the way, a new team is formed and Gabe will get his chance at a reunion. Emersyn, a panther shifter, has a young son and works in a free clinic as a doctor. Having left the military to have her son, she is thrilled to see her friend Leona at her apartment. Leona recruites her for the Special Ops team and she too, will get a shock. When the new team meets, Gabe and Emersyn will be reunited. Having been together before, he left her to take a Delta Force position in order to better to provide for his mother and sisters. He didn’t tell Emersyn, though, so she assumed he just abandoned her. The reunion and the news that he has a son will test them both and their ability to work together. It takes a fight for their lives that will bring the two back together and the bonding ceremony with the rest of the team will reveal to Emersyn just why Gabe left her. It will allow the two to start back on the path to their happily ever after as mates, having their son and working together.

Short book, but lots going on from the continuing of the Delta Force aspect into L.A. to the nuances within L.A.
Highlighted throughout is the single parent aspect that made this into more than just an action packed read. Emotionally driven mates truly.
Gabe was Delta Force but got honorably discharged. His friend Vance is a member of Special OPS Shifters Force. Vance asked him to be a part of the L.A. unit. Gabe is a grizzly shifter who loves to take action. He provides for his mother and sisters since their father left when they were young.
Dr. Emersyn Cruz runs a free clinic in Los Angeles along with her staff. She has a son Lucas who is almost one years old. Her friend Melody is a bookkeeper who works from home so she keeps Lucas for her. Emerysn is a panther shifter and thought she found her mate while in the military but he left her to advance his military career.
This was well written, has an amazing storyline and the characters chemistry is undeniable. You get shifters from bears, panther, lions, dragons, the conclave and so much more.
I am a fan of this author but this book isn’t one of my favorites. It was lacking in any kind of real tension both between the main characters as well as the “bad guys.” The character development was just okay and she basically caved in to all the things she said she would never do. This book is just okay for me.
