Destiny only puts events into motion. The rest is up to you. Desert fox shifter Ella Kitt has no problem risking her life — but never, ever her heart. Not that she expects to do either when she flies to Maui to help her Special Forces comrades with an easy security job. Or maybe not so easy, because she’s forced to work — and live — in close quarters with smoking hot army hero, Jake McBride. Jake … hero, Jake McBride. Jake isn’t just the one-night stand who makes her scarred heart flutter and her fox’s tail wag — he’s also a human, totally off-limits to shifters of her kind.
Head over heels in love? Not Jake McBride. It’s just that he can’t shake Ella out of his mind — or his dreams. But when destiny reunites him with his kick-ass lover, he can’t deny the attraction any more. There’s something powerful and alluring about Ella — plus a hidden, sensual side he longs to set free.
At the same time, mystery surrounds Ella and Jake’s new employers at Koa Point. How exactly can a group of Special Forces vets afford to live on an exclusive oceanfront estate? What deadly enemy is closing in on their sun-kissed corner of paradise? And is that enemy targeting someone at the estate — or targeting Jake?

Happy New Year to Ms. Anna who has written another phenomenal book! It captivates you from the first page, to the last page that’s full of magic and your dream boyfriends. Notice I said BOYFRIENDS there is a lot of hunks of this book. Definitely a Must Read!
Finally after a long wait Ella Kitt who is a Fox Shifter has come to help the Clan or is it Pack at Koa Point. Many Year’s ago Ella found her mate but let him go. She knew she’d get him killed so it’s better to walk away, or was it? Fate was working against Ella soon she’ll be fighting the bad guy and her emotions. Which one is harder to deal with for this Warrior?
Jake McBride is a human who was in the military when he first met a group of Special Forces, eighteen months ago. There was one night of heaven and they all went there own ways. Now Jake is going to work with the same group of Special Forces Vets in Hawaii. Guess whose there too? Yep his one night of heaven he never forgot.
A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.
A-Maz-ing! I can’t tell you enough how great this series is. Every book is better than the last and this one is perfect! I love the idea of a fox shifter and how size doesn’t matter and you can still be just as strong and fierce as the bigger shifters and sometimes even better. Such an amazing book with just as great narration. And since I know you will love this series and want more, you should totally check out the Pearls of Desire series next!
Book 6 of the Jewel of the Hearts series by Anna Lowe. Lure of the Fox.
Ella Kitt is a fox shifter that hasn’t met member of her own shifter species. She’s the only female shifter that’s part of a elite special forces group that has now retired to a Hawaii island and the group takes care of a private estate that is very private.
Jake McBride is a human special forces that has worked with Ella and her shifter group but doesn’t know anything about shifters or mates but one night Ella lets her guard down and has a very steamy night with Jake but afterwards can’t commit to him and the parts ways only to meet up on Maui for a protection job on Kao point.
I’ve been dying to read/listen to Ella’s story for months. You know very little about her at start but each book previously teases you with a new titbit. I absolutely loved this whole book and I did try and pace myself but that did not happen I listen to it in half a day and then had to wait to write this review because I was gutted the series had ended.
Fantastic narration from Kelsey Osborne especially been able to express each very different character individually.
Looking forward to checking out more audiobooks by Anna Lowe especially the spin of series which I think is Pearls of Desire.
Format: audiobook
This is an enjoyable story to read/listen to although this story Is a little different to the others in as far as more of the focus is on Ella and Jake’s relationship, they have a past so that all comes into this story but of course danger strikes meaning Ella’s secret will be revealed to Jake.
I do like a strong female lead and with Ella being a fox shifter I really was looking forward to seeing her put a much bigger, badder and more dangerous shifter in his place. I’m not going to put spoilers so you’ll have to read it for yourself to see what happens.
*WARNING* this book has adult content.
Ella turns out to be the focus of the sixth story, just in reverse of the others. Many things happen in this book. I liked the story. This is the final book in this series, so I am a bit disappointed. First, things were left unsettled with Moira. Second, after all six stones were brought together, I was hoping it expecting something spectacular to happen….what did happen was very lack luster.
So much fun with this last book, Jake is absolutely a sweetheart. Poor Ella has known for years Jake was her mate but because of her fears, she keeps him at arms length. Fate really has to step in and give them the tools to finish their bond. We get two weddings, twins, a spirit stone and of course bad guys to get rid of. It will be fun to see where the author takes us next.
I received an ARC of this story and have voluntarily chosen to review it here.
Another great story in this series that finally gives us Ella’s story. The fact her mate is a fellow soldier from the days the shifters of Koa Point served in the forces is a lovely twist.
Ella has been a part of this series since book one though we have never met her. She is one of the boys and a respected member of their elite forces team.
Jake was also in the military and knows all the guys from Koa Point but does not know about shifters.
Loved the way this story unfolded with interesting things happening and at the same time we learn more about the childhood past of Ella, Boone and Hunter.
Loved how the Keystone come into Jakes possession and how he found it. It will be really interesting to see what happens if the stones need to be used against Moira.
Ella and Jake dance around each other for ages before they start to see they are meant to be. It takes a serious incident for Ella to see they are meant to be together.
So sad about what happened to Ella’s mum and Brian, no wonder she was running afraid of mating Jake.
The baddie Goode was unique and I am very happy with what happened to him.
The ending with everyone at Koa Point together for Cassandra and Silas’ wedding was so heart-warming and sweet.
Loved having memories of our holiday in Hawaii refreshed.
This is my honest review of this book.
Jake is down right, take home to momma drool worthy. Ella was a darling. Her conflict and her back & forth with her fox was drawn out and dramatic. There was quite a bit of action with the story. It was a good way to wrap up the series. There was a tidbit of each of the guys and their mates. While there was a lot more that we could have learned about the bad guys, I was happy that the story wasn’t dragged down with details about the hows and wheres of the bad guys. As the last in the series, it was still completely stand alone. Hopefully we won’t have to leave the beaches of Hawaii for long.
Lure of the Fox continues the saga of the Aloha Shifters and concludes story arc of the Spirt Stones.
I have adored this series and community of shifters. This story is packed with action, suspense, and romance. It’s well written with a few twists plus a verity of shifters to enjoy. We get to see all our previous couples and a unique kind of shifter. The world is built beautifully. I have enjoyed how Ms. Lowe builds her world and characters.
Lure of the Fox was a sweet romance of second chances. Destiny will not be denied this time around. I had a little trouble getting into the story. Not sure if it was me or the story. If felt a little slow for my taste and things didn’t pick up until the 50% mark when the action starts to happen. The romance between Jake and Ella was sweet. It’s a slow build. Even though they have previously been together each kinda pushes the other way, well Ella more then Jake, until they deiced to give things a chance.
The ending was acceptable. We don’t get closer on Moira. She is the evil dragon shifter who wants the Spirt Stones, so the author has left it open for more stories to pop up. And, the way Lure of the Fox ends and the talk that the Aloha Shifters have about bringing in some Security help, well we might be getting a spin-off with more shifters to enjoy.
Lure of the Fox was a satisfying read. I’m excited to read the spin-off. I do recommend reading this series in order, but it’s not necessary, though you might get better enjoyment if you do.
Rated: 3 Stars

Everybody Loves Those Swaying Palm Trees…….
What a wonderful ending to this series, but not the end of our trips to Hawaii I hope…..
Ella Kitt fox shifter and tough as nails soldier travels to Hawaii from Twin Moons Ranch in Arizona to help her old unit teammates with security at Koa Point. What she hadn’t expected was to be working with Jake the love of her life, not that anyone knew, it was her secret. That one night they shared back in a war torn land where she discovered he was her mate never left her…But he was human and she would not repeat the tragedy that her mother experienced when she mated with a human. She would keep up her tough veneer and gladly sacrifice her femininity and her love to keep him safe.
Jake McBride came back from his last deployment without a purpose, but to find his place in the normal world. He never stopped thinking of Ella though, she was forever ingrained in his heart, but she had made it very clear that it was only one night. Now he finds himself in Hawaii to work security with some of his old unit and lo and behold but the vision that has never left his dreams appears before his eyes…..Can destiny be playing a hand after all, or is some other kind of intervention at play?
The team his on high alert as Boone gets ready to meet his offspring, not so grumpy anymore Silas is to marry Cassandra and the mother of all the Jewels makes her appearance to a very unlikely and surprising recipient too.
Maybe it was destiny 5 WHITE JEWELS
If that was true, destiny was out to torture her. Destiny didn’t always hold up its end of the deal, and love didn’t always overcome. They were perfect — in every way but one. He was a human. HOLY SHIFTING FOXES!! What a phenomenal story and a half!! WOW! I LOVE IT!! I was Lured in by the Fox from book 1, so I am BEYOND excited about Ella getting her very own Happy Furry Tail but NEVER did I expect this fantabulous of a story!! Jake is The Perfect Mate! *dreamy sigh* I love, Love, LOVE just how much story there is! And how it not only gives Ella & Jake their moments to shine, but how it also gives this gem of a series its Furever After Ending! Anna has absolutely nailed one of my very favorite parts of Shifter stories by giving Ella’s Fox its own personality, I mean foxality!! I’m only about 18% in and already Fox has me giggling, laughing, crying, gasping and COMPLETELY loving her!!! Ella is pretty awesome too! wink And now that I have finished the book, I have to say that HOLY FOX!! Anna COMPLETELY blew me away with just how REAL it all felt! Shifting back and forth, feeling it, was all just WOW! I honestly can say that I cannot ever remember reading – pardon me, experiencing that side of it, in that way, to that depth & extent in a really long time, if EVER!!! And since I mostly read paranormal books (minimum of 200 books a year!), that is saying a LOT!! Of course I want to say more, but I am NOT going to spoil any little bit of this fantabulous story and series!! With her enriched descriptions, enhanced storytelling, complex characters and in-depth plots, storylines & world building, Anna brings every aspect of the story to life all around me, to the point that I could see, feel, hear, touch everything with and as the characters!! I am wholly, utterly and COMPLETELY consumed – mind, body, heart & stone!
**MY NOTE – While you can read these books as standalones, I highly recommend reading them all in order because there are some storylines that do flow through all of the books. Besides, reading all 6 books in published order not only enhances & enriches the whole experience, but they are all phenomenal stories that you NEED TO READ!!**
