Honestly I really really enjoy this story. And obviously I’m gonna keep reading this series. I love this style of shifters stories. Dane and Chloe romance are so excited and so amazing. The romance, action and tension is so good, and need to keep reading this series of Mountain Lion
I’m ready for Jack and Phoebe love story.
I really enjoyed this shifter romance. It is book one in a series, ends with a HEA, and is a standalone. It is written in third person from a dual POV.
I loved Dane and his love for his friends, family, and community. he falls for Chloe at first sight. They have an immediate and intense attraction to each other. Chloe has been revaluating her life choices by taking months to hike the Appalachian trail. I love that she immediately trusts Dane. I love that she doesn’t freak out when she learns his secret and that she accepts him for all of who he is.
I love the way the author put together the story of how the shifters evolved and how Catamount became what it is today. Often in shifter romance, that part of the story is not as well developed. I love the elements of danger and mystery and I look forward to reading more of this series.

Protected Mate is the your love it first sight shifter love story with a twist. It could be a HEA but there is a rather timely issue hanging over the town caused by a deceased townsman. There is an uncertainty as to who else fat or near are involved. This makes it more interesting and makes you want to read the other stories to find out how the town fares.
This is one of my favorite authors.
This is the first paranormal romance ve read by this author. I LOVE all of the her books! Especially this one. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
A fun short read
Hot read!!!!
Fast read, keeps you entertained.
Paranormal suspense and romance
Great read!
I love shifter romance reads and I thought I would have enjoyed this story more than I did. It was okay. Dane, Chloe, Jake and Roxanne were great characters. Dane’s sister Shana lost her mate and he was a main part of the story so I expected her to play more of a role in this story which she didn’t. Dane just met Chloe and she had more of a part in this story than Shana. This is definitely a fast-paced, insta-lust and love romance read with steamy parts and a little suspense. I honestly expected more from this story. I think I would have enjoyed it a little more if there was some slow-burn or angst between Dane and Chloe. This story was just missing something for me and that made it good for a one time read. However, it did not leave me wanting to read the next book in this series.
This felt more like an outline for a book with the development of the story line not completed.
story was okay but the idea that a creature could decide to become human in appearance is just silly
Book was okay have read better paranormals.
So not impressed. The story plot is not wrapped up. The ending is rushed and it seems like it was written just for the erotic factor. Would have been good otherwise.
