He’s prideful, rich, and next in line to be king of the eagles.She’s an eensy bit prejudiced, and a lot rock and roll.What these two City of Angels’ supernaturals are about to discover is that there is so much more to a person than what meets the eye.Eagle Fitzwilliam Ambustus is controlled, precise, and direct. He doesn’t have the time nor the emotional wherewithal to be anything other than who … anything other than who he is. Others think him cold and unfeeling, but that’s just the surface. Beneath his suits, he is so much more.
Elizabeth Argueta is a free spirit. She’s a rock and roll, go-with-my-flow drummer on a mission to live life to the beat of her own drum. And most importantly, she’s got a view of the world that sets her firmly apart from the rich and the clingy of the L.A. scene.
When these two meet, it might be sparks-at-first-sight, but they’ll have to get over their pride and their prejudice to not only overcome those trying to keep them apart but also to understand and come to love each other … just as they are.
Note: The first book in the Shifter Kings L.A. series is short, sassy, sexy, shift-tastic, and a whole lot of rock and roll … with a little Pride and Prejudice thrown in.

That was such a refreshing read.
Eagle is rigid, everything in his world is ordered, nothing out of place.
Manages a band (I was surprised, thought him more of a tall office building millionaire) just waiting till it’s his turn to rule. He’s going to do things different.
Iz, Izzy, (Elizabeth to other people not family) beats out a rhythm on whatever is to hand.
She’s a Dabbler witch, she suppresses it for most of the time.
A free spirt with a wicked sense of humour.
The hierarchy of L.A is fascinating especially the witches ….. The Queens are at the top, then their families, then the elements (air, water) Judges, charisma, siphons, scholars, and then the lowest Dabblers, they are the witches that can do it all, but not well.
I love Elizabeth, such a free spirit, nothing much gets her down. She comes from a loving family, has a close knit of friends, and gets to jam with friends, what’s not to love? Her look on life “the haves” these are people who are poor, but they are rich in love, family and (have a rich life) “the have-nots” these are the rich, they only have artificial friends and empty lives, and the “clingers” these are the people who cling to the rich!!
I took a while to warm up to Eagle, his past was littered with brutal beatings and vicious put downs. His father the king was literally a beast!! So I could see why he was so rigid. I was surprised he was friends with the band he manages (I thought he’d be too uptight for musicians) his wanting to bring his family and people up to date, but in a kinder way had me smiling. He’s totally opposite of his tyrant of a father/king.
They first meet in the street, she’s playing with friends (bongo drums) they see each other, both swear there is a connection, but neither go for it.
We also have the never ending debate on wether shifters should come out to the world. Eagle is a firm believer that they should stay hidden. I’m sure it’s going to be an ongoing debate.
It’s well written, flows at a steady pace. I love the formal way Eagle talks, the intense emotions that both pull from each other. Your hoping that Eagle gets his Queen
I have a inkling it’s a spin off from the previous series (Shifter Kings Nashville) I don’t think it’s going to matter if you haven’t read the previous series.
But I’m interested now, I might have to go back and read
Short story but packed with lots going on.

Helping each other to fly…
Like any new series, there is a little bit of trying to catch your footing with new characters and new relationships. I love how Izzy almost instantly bonded with “the band” and that helped to bring the feeling of camaraderie and brotherhood. I love that you can see ties to the Shift Kings of Nashville, other kings who will find queens, and even a few other characters who make you wonder. I look forward to this entire series.
The first book in the Shifter Kings L.A. series is short, sassy, sexy, well-written shifter book. These characters are well-developed and grow through out the story. This story is full of excitement, adventure, danger and lots of emotion and you feel like you know the characters. A must read.

Eagle is the first book in the Shifter Kings LA series and what a great start it is. I loved Eagle and Izzy together. She is everything he needs for his Queen and he’s everything she needs for her King. Their story is filled with drama, danger, suspense, interesting characters and a great ending.
Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read! I could not put it down it was that good!

This is Book 1 in the Shifter Kings LA series. Eagle, of course, is marked to be the next king in the Eagle tribe. His father is the current king and is brutal to Eagle and his people. Izzy is a Dappler Witch and this type of witch is kind of looked down on by other people because they don’t have a magic of their own; they can borrow magic from other witches. She knows that she can be a queen but isn’t really interested. Until she meets Eagle. Interesting things begin to happen then. I really enjoyed this book and I’m not sure that it isn’t my favorite out of all the Kings series. I can’t wait to read more of the LA Kings. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Booksprout.
Eagle the heir to the eagle clan of LA is pushed in to a strict role by his father, every move dictated, even who he is supposed to mate to. Izzy a dabbler witch Changes all of that with one look and one touch and sets his whole world into a tail spin.
this was an amazing book and a great way to set off the new series of Shifter kings in this part of the country!

This is my first book by this author in this series but it won’t be my last. I was sucked in with the shifter world and the free-spirited Elizabeth. They weren’t what they were looking for, but it’s exactly what they needed. Get sucked in to this magical place.

This is the first book in the Nashville Shifters series. You will meet alot of characters but this book is Eagle and Izzy’s story. Eagle is next in line for the throne for his people. His namesake is an indication of his animal. His relationship between his father and him is challenging and we learn that their past is heartbreaking. Can Eagle truly find himself and claim what is his? Izzy is a Dabbler witch that has been marked with the tattoo that shows she could be a mate for a king. She is a free spirit and tries to live her life as such. Eagle and Izzy meet and remain strangers until Izzy joins one of the bands that Eagle represents. Now that they cross paths more frequently their attraction to one another is growing. This book not only introduces the reader to some great characters but also paints the world that these characters exist in and the challenges that are evolving. Is Eagle ready to become king for his people and is Izzy ready to be his queen? I cannot wait to continue the series. Enjoy!

The Shifter Kings move to LA, Loved Eagle and Elizabeth
Eagle is the heir to the Eagle King, his rein soon to begin. His father, the current king, sadistic streak came out after the death of his mate. Eagle is is favorite target.

Elizabeth is a Dabble witch with the mark of a shifter queen. Dabbler’s are able to use any of the other 12 houses witch’s powers, though are masters of none. Her passions are her job as a councilor to at risk and troubled children, and music. A street performer, she lets everything go through her drums. She is one of the “Haves” a roof over he head, food to eat, a job she loves and friends and family.
Eagle and Elizabeth meet by chance while she she is preforming. Elizabeth is not a suit and tie girl, she sees them as “Have Nots” or “Clingers” but something about this suit calls to her.
They meet again when she auditions for Shyfter, the band he manages, made up of his fellow Kings. He snubs her. His best friends adore her and make her their new drummer. He can no longer deny his attraction to Elizabeth when she stands against his father. When she protects him and declares she will be his queen. Eagles have always been mated to Eagle queens. He feels nothing for the queen of his people and everything for Elizabeth.
Loved Eagle and Elizabeth, Izzy to everyone else, story. She has also has ties to Nashville. She cousins and best friends are also queen marked. Looking forward to Grizz, Snake and Heavy’s story. Want to know more about the Irish cousins, Kyle, Timmy and Jay. Great series and reads fine as a stand alone, don’t have to have read the Nashville Kings to follow the story.
Who will be Eagle’s queen? Every thirty years a new king is crowned in each of the shifter nations. And their queen will be decided by the tattoo that appears behind their ear. Eagle has been abused and beaten for years by his cruel father and Eagle will soon be king of the eagles. But his father won’t step down and they must fight for the right to be king for the next thirty years. Elizabeth is a dabbler, a lesser witch, with no specific magic but lots of magic of different types. She and several of her cousins are also potential queens. The first time Elizabeth and Eagle see each other from a distance they are immediately attracted to each other, but is Elizabeth destined to be his queen or the queen to another shifter?
