A woman with a baby and a whole lot of trouble, a bad boy shifter trying to pull his life together, and enemies that will do anything to keep them apart. Maylee Henderson’s got a busted car, a fussing baby, and an angry bear hot on her heels. She’s at the end of her rope until she stumbles into Ellis’s bar and learns that there’s a difference between brute force and dominance. Ellis is clearly … dominance. Ellis is clearly trouble, and he knows how to throw a punch, but his strength is a tool of protection, not fear, and he’s nothing like the violent men in her old clan.
Semi-reformed big bad wolf Ellis Hays has been burned before, but one look at Maylee has him pushing aside his own rules at the same time he’s throwing the bear shifter chasing her out on his ass.
Ellis isn’t looking for a mate, but he’s entranced by the curve of Maylee’s hips and the challenge in her eyes. Problem is, she’s got secrets of her own, and Ellis isn’t sure he’s ready to trust a stranger.
A hunted woman can’t have a mate, and Maylee is still convinced that mating isn’t for her. It doesn’t matter that Ellis makes her shiver with want and dream of a possible future she’s seen fall to ruin too many times to count.
When the past comes calling, Maylee will need to make a choice. Can she really ask her newfound pack to stand beside her against her family? Or is running again the only option to protect Ellis’s pack… and herself?

BOURBON AND BEARS is the third book in the Shifters and Sin series. Each story will stand on its own, but even better when you know all three of these couples and how they have become a pack.
Ellis has to be my favorite anti-hero of the Rawlins pack. He has been so broken by life that he doesn’t believe that anyone could choose him for more than a night. Hiding his emotional scars and his heart while hiding two little ladies he wants to protect from the world just proves to be his undoing.
When lies lead to the truth, Ellis and Maylee find trust easier to give and receive. Isn’t that the truth in life! That is the story of redemption for so many in books and in life.
I loved the humor, the reality, and even the terror that lead to their happily-ever-after that came from mutual respect and much as it came from their animals knowing they were mates.

Love this sexy “Bad” stepdad…
This story of redemption, for Ellis, and regaining the ability to trust, for Maylee, is a heart wrenching yet hopeful tale. These characters and especially little Esme steel your heart. Even with the serious storyline Ellis and Maylee have a sense of humor that made me smile. Since we already knew the supporting characters this book had a big feel, with just the right amount of action, angst, sexy times, and a sweet falling in love story.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
