This is the first book of the new collaborated series, “BLACK HILLS SHIFTERS” and it was a great start into this new series!
I loved everything about this story! It had great chemistry between the main characters’, Cole and his mate, Aubrey but I also liked the flow between Cole’s brothers and sister and the introduction of their characters was well executed, in my opinion, and I’m already excited for Slate’s story which will be the second book of the series 🙂
Cole and Aubrey’s connection as mates was undeniable, the intimate scenes were spicy, hot and sexy as well as gentle with a mix of rawness to it that it made me blush a couple of times 😉 Of course, there’s also a bit of drama but no ow/om sex scenes nor ow/om problems for these two. I also liked how the author, Elisa Leigh kept us intrigued while reading the ending/epilogue of Cole and Aubrey’s story, which mentioned Slate’s behavior towards Aubrey and how at the end, they became good friends after he confessed why he was the way he was and I’m super curious as to the reason why he was sort of cold towards Aubrey at the beginning… we’ll know more when Slate’s story releases next!
Getting blind sided
If you are looking for a quick intense read, look no further! The author did a fantastic job! The characters are well developed and I couldn’t help but feel like I was in the story with them. And that bite of drama and danger kept me glued to my ereader until the very end. I don’t know what is going to happen with these bears next, but I can’t wait to find out.
I love Elisa Leigh’s books and this one was no exception.
Short and sweet with the right amount of hotness and spice. Who knew black bears could be so sexy ?
This is a 4 book series by both Elisa Leigh and M. Merin. 2 books are by one author and the 2 by the other. The series is connected to each other, but seem to be able to be read as standalones too.
The Great:
This story was my favorite kind the insta-love kind. Cole is dealing with the tragedy of losing his dad, and has no time for love or for finding his mate.
Take a little meddling by a sister and Cole finds his mate in Aubree. Their love is super cute, and I loved dramatic element of who was trying to hurt them.
I really enjoyed the characters and that there was enough back story to understand the way the characters are. Another great book by Elisa Leigh.
First off, I love Elisa Leigh! She’s An Amazing Author. When it’s Elisa Leigh, I devour her books, and that’s exactly what I did with this one. This author gave me a well developed and well written characters, I couldn’t put it down, this book definitely deserve a 5 stars.
Cole’s Salvation was a great start to the new Black Hills Shifters series. I absolutely loved this story, it is very well written and so sweet:). Elisha Leigh doesn’t skip the heat either. It is 100% safe and so worth the read. I loved this book can’t wait to read the others in the series.
Another great book by Elisa Leigh.
Bear shifters are my favorite kind of shifters to read about. In this one, the H, Cole is a bear shifter longing for his mate which he meets because his sister sets him up on a blind date. He only goes to meet her because they were set up to meet at a bar not fit for a woman alone and he couldn’t stand the thought of a woman in that situation. He was going to go, get her out of there and send her on her way. That’s not what happened. Aubrey, the h, befriended Coles sister and only agreed to this blind date as a favor to her. When Cole enters the bar & finds Aubrey, he knows instantly she’s his mate. There is a little angst, about a week separation because Cole got really jealous over a misunderstanding but he realized his mistake quickly and tried to make up for it.
-insta-love
-dual virgins (at least that’s the impression I got, however it wasn’t clearly stated that H was a virgin but he said he never dated before and never wanted a woman before, only his mate)
-neither with others after meeting
Grab this little gemfor a quick steamy read.
I loved this new book by Elisa Leigh! I love shifter books and this is a great start to a new series. I can’t wait for the next book!
Another great story by Elisa Leigh. This was a short, sweet, and steamy story.
Cole the alpha bear shifter who has give up on finding his mate. Without knowing it, he is upgrading his home to prepare for his mate.
Ruby, Cole’s sister sets him up for a blind date. He doesn’t want to go but ends up going to only walk in and feel the pull him and Aubree.
Aubree the sweet girl who loved back in town to live with her grandma. She is happier than ever because with her grandma she finds the love of family.
Cole and Aubree have an instant attraction and they find their mate in each other.
I loved this story and I can’t wait to read about the rest of the clan
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. The first book in a series starts the tone for any series… and wow did Elisa Leigh deliver with Cole’s Salvation. In true Elisa’s fashion we have insta-love, virgins and hot bear love (did I say bear)… yes for those of us that love shifter books this is it.
This is the story of Cole & Aubree. Cole is the oldest sibling and alpha – (after the passing of their father)… I am thinking for all intents and purposes they the series will elaborate on the father’s death. In this first installment they have already discussed the death of their mother when all the children were young.
As time has passed since the passing of their father and Cole has accepted his responsibility as Alpha to his siblings… his meddling little sister Rubye sets him up on a blind date and as soon as he enters the bar and takes a good long sniff of her… he knows she is his mate.
As Aubree and Cole learn themselves and find love the book moves quickly but Elisa gives enough background that you are not lost. I love love love this book… it is over the top insta-love at it best with a crazy alpha possessive bear and the girl with all the sauce.
Cole is a bear shifter and believes he will never find his mate. When his sister sets him up on a blind date with a friend of hers, Aubrey, he knows she is meant to be his the minute he sees her. A quick, steamy read that introduces us to the rest of Cole’s siblings and the start of a new series, this was a great read! Looking forward to the next one!
Great start to a new series, the Black Hills Shifters. Cole’s Salvation by one of my favorite authors Elisa Leigh. Cole is an alpha black bear shifter searching for his mate. Set up on a blind date by his sister, Cole only shows up to please his sister. Cole meets the feisty Aubree and know she is the one. Quick hot romance, with a little on going mystery in the background. Great start to a series. Loved it!
Cole and Aubree is cute story. If you love bear shifters and true mates this is a book for you. Very well written and a page turner.
Cole is a grumpy bear, literally. After the murder of his father, he became alpha to his clan which consisted of his two brothers and his sister. Since shifters mate for life, he gave up figuring at 30 years old he wasn’t going to find her. Then his sister sets him up on a blind date. Once he lays eyes on Aubree, he knows she is his. Now he just has to convince her and hope his bear doesn’t scare her away.
I absolutely adore Elisa Leigh! She is one of my favorite, go-to instalove authors. I have to say when I found out she was branching into paranormal romance, I was ecstatic! Cole’s Salvation was everything I hoped for. Cole is a big old grumpy bear and then he lays eyes on Aubree. Aubree is a sweetheart and she is just as into Cole but isn’t going to be told what to do. When they do come together it is magic! I can’t wait to read the rest of the tales in this series as Cole’s brothers and sister Ruby need their happily ever afters too. 5 stars for Elisa Leigh and Cole’s Salvation!
Aubree and Cole sitting in a tree… oh wait that’s not it, hold on… Aubree and Cole heating up the forest, making kindles melt and readers swoon. Yeah, that’s more like it! Lol.
I loved this story and cannot wait for the others. It seems as if they are going to be interconnected stories all in the same world. This is the story of Aubree and Cole.
Aubree was sassy and sweet, full of mirth and love. I enjoyed her push and pull with Cole as she held her own. Cole is the definition of overprotective and possessive. I loved both him and his bear.
The secondary characters, mostly Cole’s family, are in needs of their own books (or at least I am in need of them)! They shine almost as bright as the main characters. It is so fun to read a book where you are rooting for everybody!
While the story is on the short side, don’t be turned off, there is plenty of heat and plot. I read it in one setting and was both swooning and squealing I was so happy! I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
I loved this! Cole is the perfect sweet alpha that you just can’t help but fall in love with! He knows Aubree is his mate the minute he walks into the bar and tries to go full alpha on her. Aubree was a good heroine, she didn’t take his crap and stood up when she needed too. I look forward to the siblings books besides slate’s he came off as an asshat and I laughed at the end when they said please look forward to his story coming out soon. I want to like him and maybe there’s a reasoning for the way he was. Ruby seemed like a fun character and I’m really excited for her book!! I also loved Aubree’s grandma, I wish I knew more about the necklace but that’s ok! It had some good steamy scenes and a nice epilogue! I’m pretty sure both Cole and Aubree were virgins but sometimes I got the feeling Cole wasn’t. But I can’t say. At least he wasn’t a manwhore. Great work Elisa Leigh!
