His inner mountain lion is eager to protect his mate–but first, he has to earn her trust.Kate Ahrens has a problem—she keeps imagining creepy men following her while she walks to and from her college campus. It’s the result of too much time spent developing games, and not enough time talking to actual people. But when she meets the hot librarian with amazing eyes, she starts to think maybe she … eyes, she starts to think maybe she just hadn’t found the right person to talk to.
As the fourth brother in the shapeshifting Sierra Pride, Maverick Fournier isn’t intimidated by much. Kate, though, with her hot pink hair and sexy piercings, makes him completely lose his cool. He wants to protect her, smell her, and mate her—maybe not in that order. Unfortunately, there are some other men interested in Kate, and their interest isn’t at all romantic. Even though protecting her means revealing his animal side, Maverick is determined to keep her safe and win her love.
This sexy shapeshifter novelette includes a happily-ever-after, as well as explicit love scenes and naughty language. It is intended for adults. The ending leads into the next book (Fierce Dancer), but the main story line is resolved and this can be read as a stand-alone.

Maverick Fournier is off at college and is loving it, especially his job in the library. When he sees a girl on her phone in one of the rooms of the library, Maverick is immediately compelled by her and his protective side comes out when he hears her talking about being in trouble. Kate Ahrens wasn’t talking about real life, she meant in the game that she’s developing but it turns out danger is closer than she thinks.
I’m really enjoying this series and this book is no exception. I love all paranormal romance featuring shifters but cougars/mountain lions have an extra special place in my heart so I was thrilled to find this series. It was a quick, well-written story with wonderful characters and a happily ever after. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of this series which I’m binge reading. I highly recommend both book and series which I suggest you read in order for the most benefit and enjoyment.
I liked this story, the gamer girl, Kate was great. I really liked how they connected, the back and forth and the bets between them, it was all really cute.
I loved this book! Maverick and Kate are terrific, realistic characters. Their journey to romance is interspersed with danger and drama. Both characters are funny and independent, who are attracted to each other almost from the beginning. This series just gets better and better. I can’t wait to read the next book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest review
We follow Maverick in this 4th book of the series. Who is Kate? How does Maverick sort of meet her? Who is Trina? Who is the fool in the library that Maverick notices? What is he doing there? What does Kate’s mother do for a living? When Maverick goes home for Thanksgiving, what ends up happening? What do Kate and Trina do for the holiday week? This was a very suspenseful story for me to read. Check it out and see why!
