Jagger needs a mate. Fast. He’s running from a dark past and his life as the self-appointed sheriff of the outcast community of Ragtown was supposed to keep him on track. But his duties are pushing his bear to the dark side—not least when a new threat appears in town, with the ability to destroy everyone in it. He needs a woman to stabilize the beast in him, before the animal has turned into one … into one of the criminals he’s trying to pursue. But smart, feisty Rowan is not what Jagger expected.
Rowan is caught between a rock and a hard place. Her father’s business empire is collapsing and he’s pledged her to a mean coyote in an effort to save himself. The only way out? Finding a mate who’s bigger, burlier and growlier than Vex. Jagger Briggs seems to be all that, and more. One look into his eyes and Rowan’s heart is screaming all sorts of trouble. The man is sexy as sin, wild and a fierce protector. But he’s hiding big secrets and when his mysterious past and Rowan’s present collide, they may be both going down hard unless they find a way to set each other free.
Promised: romance, heat and sexy shifters. HEA and no cheating, of course!

Protector Mate – Ariana Hawkes – Jagger is a bear shifter who gets himself elected town sheriff because there isn’t anyone else up for the job keeping order in a last chance shifter town. His past made him a killer, but his protective streak makes it impossible to turn his back on Rowan when she blows into town. Miss Florence and her matchmaking plans to bring ladies (and civilization) to Ragstown have brought in a gardener. If Rowan’s POS dad and the creep who won her in a poker game don’t cause enough problems, the wolves are back with a Kodiak bear straight out of legend. A sheriff’s job is never done! Love this couple! Happy Reading!
I’m really enjoying this series.
Jagger and Rowen were a fun couple to read about. Both are strong and stubborn but when it really matters they turn to each other.
Jagger comes from a very complicated background. Reading about it would make you look at him so much differently. Good thing Rowen doesn’t give up easily. She also has a complex background. They make a great match.

Din -o- mite! Loved every minute of it. Definitely a Must Read!
Rowan’s father has gambled her and lost person, a human to a stinking Coyote Shifter. Now an app has her running right into Ragtown to find her mate. Right into the arms of Jagger! Oh wait he doesn’t want her a human, he wants his bachelor life. Besides he told Florence no human it had to be a shifter. Now What?
This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love reading her books. It’s like I can see Ragtown and the crazy’s plus the handsome hunks. Like I can soothe the savage beast.
I am truly loving this series.
I just love Rowan. Though she found herself in a desperate situation, she was also determine. She was not only brave and smart but also had a very caring heart. She was so deserving of love and it was something watching her find it.
Jagger did not know what he was in for when she decided to let Florence find him a mate. He only had one request. Will Florence listen? LOL I think not. Jagger does not feel he deserves love and had this wall built up that he does not want to let anyone in.
I love how quickly Jagger became protective of Rowan. Though he could see how brave and tough he was he knew that she could not handle a shifter if one decided to hurt her. I did feel sorry reading all the problems Jagger had on his plate and things seemed to keep building. I know it had to be hard to chose when his priorities came divided and he would have to chose which one to protect right then.
This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book. I so can not wait until the next book to come out.
Very enjoyable and entertaining read. Filled with plenty of action, angst and of course steamy romance. Plus there nothing better than a bunch of broken Alpha male with the compassion and love from there fierce and feisty mate they find the way to heal. Overall a great read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
I really liked this story and look forward to the rest of the series. It was well written and fun to read shifter story. I was caught from the first chapter and read it in one sitting just to see what the past baggage was from Jagger and Rowan. I liked their courtship and found a few scenes outright funny. And I loved the scary bear. SO just a sexy fun story that had no cheating or nasty scenes just some fighting as the good guys won of course.
