Mars is a rising star in the bear shifter Nomads MC. He has just two days to claim his Fated Mate before their bond disappears, and they have to survive a group of human traffickers who want to take them out. Mars Donner is tall, dangerous and brutally loyal. His golden eyes melt panties and make men get out of his way. He’d done his fair share of dirt, and even put a few people in the dirt, but … in the dirt, but he had lines he wouldn’t cross. As long as he had his MC, his cut and his hog, he thought he could get through anything. Then he met his Fated Mate, and he knew there was no line he wouldn’t cross for her.
Annette Vogel is an investigative journalist and no stranger to chasing a story. Freshly back from Afghanistan, her therapist tells her that she needs to take it easy, that working through PTSD is a process. But Adrenaline junkies don’t take it easy, and when she gets wind of a human trafficking circle she has to go after the story. But crossing those kinds of people can have deadly consequences, especially when the story starts chasing her.
This full length bear shifter paranormal romance novel has all the action, steam and true love that only a Fated Mates story can deliver! I’ve included some other stories as my thanks to you.

This was a good story. I enjoyed Mars and Annette’s story and I will continue with reading this series.
MARS is an enjoyable read. It has vivid imagery that grabbed and held my attention throughout. It has drama, romance, action, and humor that kept me entertained. Annette is an investigative reporter trying to get information to expose human trafficking that has been going on. Mars is a part of a MC trying to eliminate its involvement in human trafficking by getting an article written about it. However, both get more than they expected when they meet up. I adored the interactions between them. I appreciated the progression of their relationship, and their journey towards happiness. This story is definitely worth the read.
This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.
Annette is a investigative journalist and is meeting with a motorcycle club about exposing a human trafficking ring. Mars is a bear shifter and VP of the club. As soon as he sees Annette he knows she is his mate. He touches her wrist and a mating bracelet appears on her. She faints and he takes her back to the clubhouse. She feels a connection to Mars and takes the mating business really well. The first night, a cartel starts shooting and Annette is accidentally shot. She almost dies but Mars does a blood sacrifice and saves her. As they settle into their lives, Mars challenges the President and wins. He wants to stop dealing with the cartel but learns some disturbing information. They run off the cartel and find a pit of women, living in their own filth. They take them back to the clubhouse and promises them to help them any way they can. Most leave but the ones left, Annette pieces together their stories and writes her story. Good story. Some errors. And calling the entrance to her vagina “the gate” is really bothersome. Big hunky bear shifters. A beautiful, strong woman. A few secrets and very steamy sex.
Holy moly hunk shifter MC!! This book series is so good it should come with a warning label that reads Warning: You will drool. You will be addicted. You will consume copious amounts of chocolate and goodies while reading it.. You might become slightly unhinged if someone tries to get you to stop reading it or tries to take it from you.. Lol. You will be absolutely hooked on this series though and not just this one. This Author has amazing books.. If you haven’t already read her other books you should definitely check them out..
I really liked this first book in this series. The H/h were both morally good people. The h was strong but wasn’t hateful and didnt come across as a bitch. The H wasn’t a dick but he also didn’t come across as a wimp. They were both strong characters that didn’t clash.
The only thing I saw that could use some improvements in this book is a proofreader.
I’ll be reading the next book in this series.
No cheating, no cliffhanger and a HEA
Great way to start a series! I love Becca Fanning’s bears and this one is my new fave. It’s well written, the characters are well-developed, and the dialogue is witty, making for a great read. Mars and Annette are so good together and I love Annette’s take no nonsense attitude. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this series.
This story was much different then I was expecting. I read the free prequel: Growl and thought it was decent but not overly interesting. I tried this story as I wanted a new and different MC read. What I read was great! It is beyond different.
Mars is a grizzly shifter who is the currently the VP in his MC. He meets with Annette (a reporter) to try and out his President in a non-MC involved way. His president has gotten the MC into human trafficking and this is not favorable to the read of the MC and as VP, Mars feels like it is his duty to get them out. When he meets Annette for the first time the Mating band shows and the heat of the story begins.
The passion, lust, steamy scenes and love between Mars and Annette is quick and bold. This is defiantly an insta-love story. I loved the writing and the plot. Yes, it deals with human trafficking but it is done in a non-graphic way, as a reader I felt the emotions and pain of the women but it was not so dark that I had to stop reading or walk away. I read it all in one setting and an exited to read the next is the series. This was such a refreshing version of both a shifter story and an MC read.
My one complaint/issue is that throughout the story the major plot is built up and it ends with no action and in a chapter. It was a letdown as I wanted or needed the outcome to justify the buildup and destruction that was case and that was not the case. It was a soft ending for such a hard topic. I am quite happy with this story.
