USA TODAY Bestselling Author Former enemies align, but is it too late to protect everyone they’ve come to love? Lara has always relished being a thorn in Mason’s paw. When she was chosen as pride Enforcer, it was easier than ever to get under the passionate shifter’s skin. But with the scent of humans in the air comes a threat she’s powerless to battle alone. It’s time Lara unites with the one … time Lara unites with the one man she needs, the one man she’s secretly drawn to…as if by fate.
If there’s one thing Mason hates more than relinquishing control to a female, it’s the attraction he feels for the fiery lioness. Joining forces with Lara against an insidious enemy only makes their primal bond hotter–and the two of them stronger.
Now it’s up to them, side by side, to bring together three warring shifter clans, win the final fight and save Deep Creek.

If ever there was an oil and water relationship this appears to be one.
Mason is Alpha, ruling the pride with his brother Marco. Still recovering from the latest battle for the cave, a new threat has arisen. A pipeline through the protected lands all the shifters live around. Somehow it had gotten approval without anyone knowing it was happening.
Everyone must work together to stop this, the Bears, the Wolves and the Lions. Not an easy feat. But Shoshanna has declared Lara and Mason are the key to everything.
Lana has a secret that she is sure will turn Mason and the pride against her even as they realize they are mates.
Full of suspense, love and sizzle, this is a page-turner you won’t want to miss.
A great end to this wonderfully developed series. Claiming His Lioness will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.
As a new threat emerges the shifters must learn to work together to survive. I enjoyed the high risk and fast pace of this story. I loved the characters and their chemistry. It was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait for more.
Mason and Lara’s mission to unite the shifters against a formidable foe and save Deep Creek is an incredible story. As usual the writing is riveting and I was glue to the book through the last page. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series and strongly recommend it.
I love Lara and Mason. Lara is extra feisty and loves to get on Mason’s nerves. But now it’s time for them to come together to protect their land and pack. Can Mason concede to a woman and his mate? Or will it cause a rift between them…..meaning risking his pack???
Claiming His Lioness by Kerry Adrienne is book Four in the Shifter Wars Series. This is the story of Lara and Mason. I have read the previous book but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Lara and Mason butt heads and try to set the other one off. But now they need to come together to work to save Deep Creek. This leads them to bring their feelings out that they have been keeping at bay.
Overall enjoyed their story and I will look for more books by this author.
Lara is a tough lioness. She’s a pride Enforcer, so she had to be. She uses that tough exterior to hide a secret love for Mason. Mason, a pride leader along with his twin, feels the attraction to Lara as well. They must join forces to defeat the evil coming to Deep Creek.
Fast-paced and exciting. The sparks are definitely there for Lara and Mason and I think they are good together. I enjoyed seeing everyone cone together to stand against a new enemy (humans) to protect their land/territory.
A very satisfying conclusion to this series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias.
Lara has not been my favourite character of this series so far. She was always a bit too bitchy for me. But now I get why she channelled her inner alpha female so much, she was deflecting her fear of not being accepted by the rest of the pride. I still don’t love her but I DO understand her. Mason is the perfect foil her. He IS the boss, she just thinks she is, LOL.
Mason and his twin always knew they were meant to lead the pride, but he never imagined it happening so soon. But now with his brother happily mated, to a bear no less, he feels the pride is under attack and not from the usual foes. The humans are up to something and he and the annoying Lara are going to get to the bottom of the mystery, even if it kills them.
Lara and Mason were a fairly matched couple and I loved the tension they generated. Each had a fear of letting down the pride for differing reasons. The new storyline with the human foes was really good and upped the tension and applied pressure to the tentative truce with the bears. Great conclusion to the story and I was a happy camper that all my little loose ends were tied up.
In the paranormal world I love when the mates come together with this one being in that category with more to it than that. Mason and Lara are in the lead with this one but they are also having to team up to fight on a different level which makes for intriguing reading. The only sad thing is that this was a ending but enjoyed the whole series. They did have a charisma that pulled them through alot. There was a mystery to be investigated they pulled it through and got us through the story with a bit of steam to help along the way.
Mason may well be the leader of the Pride but Lara gives him a run for his money. As the pride’s enforcer she is a very strong lioness with secrets. Quite a few twist in this one. The ending was just beautiful.
Awesome story! I have enjoyed all of the Shifter Wars stories and this was no exception! Mason and Lara were sizzling together! This is an action-packed and drama-filled story, that will be hard to put down once you start! Hope they’ll be more, maybe a spin-off?
Highly Recommended!
MY REVIEW:
4.5 Feathers
With Claiming His Lioness, Adrienne has once more written a story with characters who live not only on page, but in the woods not too far away.
As always, the trick is going to be giving a review without spoilers. Also as usual, it is extremely difficult. With the Lions and Bears still accepting a fragile peace, due in part from Alicia and Marco’s story in Taming the Lion, Mason, Marco’s twin and leader of the Lion’s worries he can live up to the expectations of his father. Lara, the Lion’s enforcer, has her own issues.
Adrienne has a unique way of challenging her characters to be better than they believe they can be as individuals and as a couple. When the two finally get together, wow! Can we say HOT! Hot isn’t just what her characters need though, they need romance and connection. Two additional things Adrienne brings to the table in spades.
This is a #OneClick book for sure!
I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In Taming his Lioness by Kerry Adrienne the Shifter Wars series comes to an end with a bang. The war between the shifters has to take on their biggest enemy yet the humans who want to take their homes away from them. This book has more twists and turns to keep even the best reader quessing until the very end. Adrienne always entices the reader with just enough to keep them turning the page. As unlikely leaders to unite the pack, clans, and dens Mason and Lara make sense as their passion ends the war the two of them have had with each other. Their annoyance with each other over the years was hiding a connection they didnt realize until it was almost too late. The explosive ending will be a surprise to many as the learn to depend on each other when times get tough. This book brings us current with past characters and was a qquivk and enjoyable read.
A book that was so hard to put down, I loved the way the book ended.Hopefully in the future the series would be extended,loved everything about the series.
Gotta be honest…didnt like Lara. Her character was wayyyy too full of herself. I get she’s the only female enforcer and yes she has something to prove but she’s defying the rules of the Pride right and left and disrespecting the leader, Mason. I can understand his frustration with her. It was really hard for me to buy these 2 characters as mates. They were just too much at odds. Any Alpha worth his salt would NOT tolerate one of his lionesses or lions to challenge him the way she does. In her defense he allows her to so why not right? Now I really do understand where her crankiness is coming from which is fear of not being accepted and ousted out of the Pride because of her secret. Towards the end of the book they go on how humans are against them and everything but you know what I found funny is they are against other breeds of shifters mating. They got a little prejudice going on. Mason kinda realized he might have an issue and it always starts with the Alpha which is him. I am happy that he recognized that but I kinda thought it was ironic. The war still hasnt really happened yet…sorry not trying to give it away. This is book 4 and I realize that its gotta be built up and it IS escalating more just not enough for me.
The fourth and final book in the Shifters Wars is a little bit sassy, with strong, compelling characters that easily pull readers into their thrilling story. Lara and Mason’s relationship is a bit rocky to say the least with all the attitude flying about and their need of a referee, also both are quite stubborn but the chemistry is undeniable and it’s not until a secret is revealed that they realize why the spark fly in every direction. The relationship is has quite a bit of emotional turmoil and snarky dialogue along with sizzling chemistry but the happily ever after part of this romance is in question for quite a bit of the page turning events that happen during this steady paced and smooth flowing plot.
Intrigue and anticipation build throughout the story as the shifters try to discover just what the humans are what up to and just what they should do about it when they discover that they could destroy not only their home but have plans for the shifters themselves. There are quite a few surprising twists to ensure that readers are kept on their toes and a there are few unique elements in this shifter world as well.
I was completely caught up in the story and found myself wishing that I had read the previous books in this series, now don’t get me wrong the story was quite enjoyable on its but I think I would have had better understanding of the problems that the shifters had faced in the previous story and how they reached this tenuous peace between them, so for me personally I recommend reading the books in sequence as I intend to do soon.
