Small towns aren’t for her, but he could be.Sloan Kent believes in justice, for all. Humans and shifters alike. But when she’s assigned to a new, shifter-run, Supernatural Enforcement Agency squad, she’s suddenly regretting being open minded. Small town drama runs wild in Bearden and she doesn’t want any part of it. She’s just there to do her job… until she meets Lorne Bennett, that is.Hard … Bennett, that is.
Hard muscles ripple underneath his button-up, and that cowboy hat doesn’t hide his piercing dark eyes. She knows better than to get involved with a bear, but the heart wants what it wants. Even when the heart wants a broody shifter she knows is bad news bears, literally.
He likes his women feisty and wild.
Her having a gun is just a bonus.
Lorne Bennett doesn’t let anyone tell him what to do. Not his family, not his current alpha, and especially not some spitfire little human who thinks she’s going to uncover all his secrets. He has good reason to keep those buried, and he owes those on Black Claw Ranch a debt for protecting his past.
But Sloan seems different, like she could be the one to put his heart back together after all these years. Being with her could be dangerous though, for both of them.
When their worlds collide Lorne and Sloan have to decide if their love really can conquer all when they’re confronted with the sins of the past. And if being mates can mend their broken hearts… or shatter them forever.

I wasn’t crazy about her character. I am all for strong independent women. But she took it too far. I just couldn’t bring myself to like her. I felt bad for him. What he wanted vs what she wanted made me wonder how they could be mates. The ending was fun though.
Lorne Bennett has a past he can no longer outrun. He has blood on his hands and a debt to be paid. He doesn’t deserve a mate that he will just leave behind. He’s a dead man walking! Sloan Kent is dealing with a past herself. The only human female on the Supernatural Enforcement Agency. She is fighting the ghosts of the partner she put behind bars for being a dirty cop with a grudge against Shifters. These two people are tough as nails, smart and stubborn as hell. This book was sexy and smooth, a quick afternoon read! On to the next book!
Sloan Kent works for the S.E.A, Supernatural Enforcement Agency, Sloan believes in justice for humans and shifters and that it all should be equal. She is assigned to the S.E.A after things go down on her last assignment. She doesn’t know if she is cut out to be an agent for the S.E.A., the small town vibe takes a little getting use to. Sloan’s not use to all this small town drama, she’s having second thoughts. But then she runs in to Lorne. Sloan knows she shouldn’t want the bear shifter, but she can’t help what her heart wants. Lorne is not someone that lets people tell him what to do. But the feisty little agent with the gun, sure is doing something for him. Lorne is not someone that wants his secrets uncovered he keeps those close, but could Sloan be the person that helps him to heal and that he can let into his heart. Both Sloan’s and Lorne’s pasts come to the small town of Bearden looking for them. Will the two stick it out together or will they go there separate ways, is there love stronger or is it easily broken. This book is a real page turner, could not put it down it was so good.

Bearden, Montana
Sloan Kent is human and assigned to the Supernatural Enforcement Agency in Bearden. She is the only human on this team. Sent as a punishment for up holding her belief that justice is for all. Human , shifter, rich or poor. She is use to big city life and this small town drama is really testing her but then she meets bear shifter Lorne Bennett with all his muscles and hotness now that cowboy could change her mind about this small town life.
Lorne is part of the Black Claw Ranch and hiding his own past just like Sloan is. Just when the two are getting to know one another and sparks are going off. Both Sloan and Lornes’ past come back to haunt them. Will they survive?
I love this one see Sloan is like this tough chick that’s ” I am women hear me roar” and Lorne is the big bad bear shifter who thinks him and his bear should be the ones doing the roaring but she won’t let him lol too funny
Great action, drama, mystery, intrigue, and spice made it impossible to put it down ! Don’t miss it
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.
Book three in the Black Claw Ranch series a well written book that held my interest until the end. This is human Sloan Kent who is part of the Supernatural Enforcement Agency squad and Bear shifter Lorne Bennett’s story. A story that kept me turning pages, I know I want to read the next book.

YES! YES! YES! I absolutely loved Sloan and Lorne!! The heat between them was intense, but watching them figure out how to be together is what kept me flipping the pages. The strength of both Lorne and Sloan was amazing when it came time to do what was necessary. I can’t wait to see what happens at the Black Claw Ranch next!!
Sloan can hold her own as an SEA agent and as a mate. She and Slone have amazing chemistry and there is a great back and forth. This is very steamy romance with some humor and secrets. This is a fantastic third book in the series, that can be read as a standalone.

BREAKING FATE is the third book in the Black Claw Ranch series. Though each will stand on its own, I would strongly recommend that you read them all and in the order of release.
Sloane is feisty, sassy, self-assured, and strong. She is also the only human, the only female, and newly assigned to the SEA (Supernatural Enforcement Agency). Her transfer means living in Bearden among shifters who don’t trust humans as a rule and even less anyone on the SEA. She doesn’t know who she can trust, who will have her back. More than the transfer, her past has her keeping secrets, because of that undecided trust.
In most paranormal romances, she would find her mate in her new partner. I like that she didn’t. Instead, he’s one “bad news bear” of a cowboy.
Lorne also has a past that is holding him hostage. He’s holding his bear back from claiming the human SEA agent that the bear says is his mate!
I loved the twist and pull as they both tried to figure out who they were to one another. I loved the intrigues regarding Lorne’s family and Sloane’s previous department. I loved Lorne and Sloane together and at the Ranch.
In short, I loved this story and I look forward to returning to the Black Claw Ranch!

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
Sloan is the new agent transferred to the Supernatural Enforcement Agency Squad ( SEA )
Did I mention that she is the first human female to join the squad that is full of male shifters.
The horror !
Enter Lorne, a very alpha cowboy and a bear shifter.
When they meet, the chemistry is undeniable.
Now, doing something with their chemistry is another story.
You will have to read the book to find out.
Loved the characters + the storytelling!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
I absolutely enjoyed reading this excellent, suspenseful & entertaining shifter romance. It is the third book in the series “Black Claw Ranch” The plot is well-written & full of suspense & unexpected events. The characters are unique & well-developed, each of them has some past or present personal & emotional issues to deal with.
There is: a human female agent transferred to a new squad (Sloan Kent), a male bear shifter working on a cattle ranch (Lorne), FBI, a Supernatural Enforcement Agency (SEA), various kinds of shifters, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, adventure, action, danger, enemies, threats, violence, deceit, betrayal, harassment, attractions, devious plans, emotional turmoil, mates, happiness, love, steamy scenes & a well-earned satisfying epilogue.
I would recommend the excellent bear shifter romance.
Determined and tough as nails agent Sloan just looks at sexy cowboy Lorne and it’s body melting.
When they try to have a conversation, anger and frustration boil over.
Both have pasts that won’t leave them alone. Working together might be dangerous but options are running out.
Exciting and life threatening, this book won’t let you put it down!

Lorne may think he knows his fate, but Sloan gives him hope to break out of the mold he has put himself in. This paranormal romance is also a suspenseful mystery, and Special Agent Sloan Kent is just the person to catch the bad guy. Of course, growly alpha male Lorne thinks he’s the one to protect her. But the plot line only takes a book so far, Cecilia’s characters read authentically, and the pace of the story is not so fast that you miss something and not so slow that it drags. Like Goldilocks this “Bear World” is just right, and a fun read.

I loved that way this authors mind works.
The way she brings the two sides together in this story is great.
This held my attention all the way through and I may have rushed through it as I found it hard to put down and was continually looking forward to the next part.
Well worth your time.
