Gwyneth knew better but he too hot to let go and one night of fun never hurt anybody, right? Doug did what any irredeemable shifter would do when he found out his one night stand was pregnant – he ran. When his inner mountain lion drives him back into Gwyn’s arms, he discovers that learning how to be a father is the least of his problems.
This ‘Corona Pride’ story is an emotionally gripping and suspenseful romance that keeps readers holding their breath in anticipation throughout. The characters are strong, compelling and easily pull readers into their story and the chemistry between Gwyn and Doug sizzles with lots of heat but chemistry isn’t everything and being a typical guy, Doug, let his fear of commitment get in the way of his mating, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t have valid reasons, so their lots of turbulent emotions flowing from the pages as well.
The story is fast paced and while on the short side, the story is packed full of suspense and excitement, not only in the relationship area but Doug’s son has caught the attention of some witches that are determined to use his power as their own, adding lots of danger to the story. This ‘Fierce Mate’ romance is one that readers will get a chuckle out of as well some edge of the seat thrills with a bad boy and a ‘doesn’t have to have a male around’ heroine.

Very enjoyable and entertaining read. It did hurt either that I’m a sucker for second chance at love story. This fast-paced read will have you hook from beginning to end. It will definitely have you on a emotional rollercoaster. So looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
A good story, although i have to say i didnt really like Dougs character at first, but slowly he grew on me because he did the right thing by Gwen and her son.
One witch and one shifter have a one night stand. Result one adorable little boy named Calab. But the trouble is he is half witch and half shifter and that make him very powerful.
The leader of the witches finds out what Calab is, and Doug comes back into their lives. So when it is time to flee she contacts Doug who more than steps up to the plate to protect his son and Gwen.
Exciting addition to this series. Great storyline with witchy spells, betrayal, danger and a second chance romance, make this a book you won’t be able to put down. Doug and Gwyn deserved a second chance after their ‘one night stand’. I loved this book and really enjoyed the ending.
I love the premise of secret, or not so secret, children
Yes, Doug knew Gwyn was pregnant when he left and he stayed away. He never claimed to be anything but an ahole though. Maybe it was an uninformed excuse. At first I really didn’t like Doug, but I liked Gwyn and she saw something in him. Besides the sensual drama of Doug and Gwyn we have a Big Baddie in the picture, perhaps Doug can protect them and redeem himself. This well written easy to read tale was a heartwarming and fun story.
This is Doug , Gwyn and Galeb’s story . Doug knows that he has a child but had chosen not to tell anyone and never even bothered to see if he had a son or daughter ( yeah he kind of ticked me off to begin with , with his thoughts and actions ) , but after seeing his brother’s daughter he is now thinking about his . Gwyn is doing all she can to protect and hide exactly what her son is from the coven . But due to an accident they now know and Gwyn knows that her plans now have to change to keep him safe . Doug has hunted down Gwyn and finally sees his son for the first time . Gwyn challenges a shifter whom is staring at her son and when she sees exactly whom it is she is unsure of what she do but ends up agreeing to allow him to come to her home . When danger stalks late at night Gwyn gets a call warning her to leave asap since the coven is coming after them . Offered a safe place she decides not to take it and calls upon Doug to help her instead . When Galeb first meets his father I loved the way he acted to calmly and when he meets his cousin , aunt and uncle and learns they are shifters like him man I fell in love with this child !! This is a well written and strongly recommended amazing story !! I thank this author for this series !!
This story pulled me in and didn’t let go. Shifters, witches, twists and turns all together with friends from the series along with contact to the other series Liza Street has. It definitely can be read as a standalone and definitely recommend this book along with the series. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
What an awesome book! I didn’t want the book to end – I need more chapters of their lives together and more playful times between the pair and, and, and… I’ve loved reading the book and thoroughly enjoyed all the suspense and events that happened throughout the book. I honestly don’t think even if the author added another couple of chapters, that I’d have enough of the storyline. 🙂
Awesome book, totally recommend it to anyone who needs stand-alone story that feels like its part of a series and leaves you feeling happy and wanting to devour the rest of the books.

Strange Penance by Liza Street is part of the Fierce Mates: Corona Pride and Bad Alpha Dads series. In this book, Doug a cougar shifter returns to his home town to find the woman that was pregnant with his child. When Doug arrives home he receives a series of surprises that will change his life forever. Not the least of which is that the woman he ran away from Gwyn is a witch and that she and his son Caleb are in trouble. This is a fast paced read that I loved and couldn’t put down. Strange Penance is an exciting and sexy second chance paranormal romance.
What happens with Doug and Ben’s game of Gotcha? Who are Gwyn, Caleb, Nigel, Healther, Delilah, and McKenzie? Where is Chase? What is happening in all of their lives? I am not sure what to think about Nigel. Part of me thinks he has ulterior motives. I do not trust Heather at all. Oh… my… gosh…. you truly need to read this story to see what happens! Totally intense!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Gwyn and Doug. Doug never wanted to be a father all he wanted was to be a guardian. So after he hooks up one night with a woman named Gwyn he meets her later at the grocery store pregnant. Not wanting to give up his lifestyle he runs. Three years later something draws him back. He wants know if Gwyn is alright what about his child is it like him? These are questions he knows he should have stayed around to have answered he was just to selfish back then. Gwyn can’t believe what is going on in her coven. She knows she needs to get her son away as soon as possible before the leader tries something on him. When his protection chain breaks and his true nature is revealed she knows her time has run out. At the same time the one person who just might be able to help them both comes back into town. Caleb’s father after all is a shifter just like her son. Will this give them both the help and answers they both need or will they loose everything they never knew they could have again?
This is a great second chance book. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I was prepared to dislike Doug from the start. Gwen is a wonderful mom to Caleb and an active member of an aggressive coven. Caleb is a witch/shifter and extremely powerful. Doug was a creep when he found out Gwen was pregnant and took off. At least after 4 years he finally figured out he has a responsibility to them. Question is will the pride accept Gwen and Caleb or will the witches end up winning. I was disappointed in Ben and Delilah being so close minded about Gwen. Such a great continuation of the Corona Pride series. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Oh, Doug…hot, yes…shifter, yes….but damaged and disenchanted beyond imagination. Never have a random hook-up with a shifter! They are so unpredictable. Poor Gwyneth had no idea what she was getting herself into…but I loved reading every word of it! This author has a great world where her shifters live and claim their poor, unsuspecting mates. My only complaint is that it went way too fast. I’ve gotta get more soon to feed my addiction! One-Click NOW!
First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Holy shiznet!!! This was a nice slow burn. Doug was a jerk, but after seeing Gwyn again & his son, something in him changed. This story also has some wicked witches. I loved it. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
