Sometimes you just need to snuggle with a bear and Jake Billings fits the bill. Push is a fast paced, exciting read from start to finish. This is a fated mates story, but it’s a little different than the usual love at first sight norm. Jake is strongly attracted to Stephanie, bit it takes him some time to realize just what that attraction means. In addition to a hot and steamy romance, we get some action and intrigue by way of twisted stalker who is determined to have Stephanie for himself. With a couple of red herrings to keep you guessing, this fated mated romantic suspense is an entertaining and hard to put down tale.
I loved this book and cannot wait to see if there will be more in this series. You will laugh and cry in this book. You will also be on the edge of your seat with what will happen next. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book and was not required to leave a review.
I think one of the things I loved most about this is not only are shifters common knowledge they accepted and assist the police in taking down the predators and gangs in society.
Stephanie gets attacked and injected with heroine and them dumped in an alley, luckily for her Jake is walking past and stops someone from assaulting her further. His bear reacts to her with all the protectiveness and passion of a mate but he doesn’t feel the mate bond, is his bear so lonely that he would pick the wrong woman it is something else going on?
The story is full of suspense, who exactly is after Stephanie? Conflict, will Jake’s Alpha accept Stephanie despite his personal reservations? And potential heartbreak, despite their insane chemistry and growing emotions if Stephanie is not his mate then there is no future for them. I loved all the characters, Jack’s pack is hilarious, except for Dru who just made my heart hurt, I so hope his story comes next!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
A fantastic start to a new series & I absolutely enjoyed reading this bear shifter romance.
The plot is well-written & full of intrigue. The characters are remarkable with their individual personalities and characteristics.
It is about: a bear shifter (Jake) who is a hunter/operative for the ZPO, he finds a woman (Stephanie) drugged and wonders if it was voluntary or not. Jake suddenly becomes a protector and not a hunter and wonders about the strange feelings he has for the woman.
There is: bear shifters, law enforcement, a stalker, intrigue, twists & turns, suspense, adventure, action, drugs, confusion, distrust, concerns, tests, memories, friendship, threats, fear, disbelief, attractions, physical conflict, missions, confrontations, verbal conflict, arson, verbal banter, mates, contentment, some steam and a wonderful ending.
I really would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading this genre.
Always great to discover a new series, especially when it is a good one about a bear shifter clan.
I am leaving a voluntary review for an advanced copy of the book.
Stephanie is found by Jake in an alley after a night out. She is drugged by herion.
The question is was it on purpose of was she just a victim?
Jake and his clan are a special unit and they try to help her out, finding her sick stalker.
But while they do there is a special attraction between them, could they be mates?
Great read full action, a creep and hot moments full passion
Enjoyable read!!
Hot sex with bear shifters – what’s not to like? If you are into paranormal erotica, this is a good read.
Way too many typos, misspellings, incorrect use or non-use of apostrophes, wrong tenses, forms,or extra words. This would have been a ***** but I lost the thread of the story so many times trying to figure out what the author was trying to say that instead of enjoying it, reading this story turned into a chore. Sorry.
