New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s new Gallize shifter series is unlike any others. As one reviewer put it – There are shifters, then there are Gallize shifters. Gan never wanted to be a shifter and now he’s a Gallize. He’s battling to control a monster Siberian tiger and waiting for a chance to escape all these shifters. When his chance comes, Gan only has to keep the tiger under control … chance comes, Gan only has to keep the tiger under control long enough to pay back a debt he owes Scarlett, a sexy cougar shifter who helped him in the past. His idea might have worked perfectly if Gan’s heart hadn’t fallen to the powerful female who is his other half.
Scarlett has no intention of calling in the marker Gan owes her until she needs a rogue to help her protect an innocent female from powerful people she’s evaded her entire life. Unlike the other Gallize, an angry Gan has no loyalty to them or their Guardian, all of whom are still strangers to him. Get in, get out, say goodbye. She had a simple plan until a crazy tiger shifter let her inside to see the man no one else knows.
To defeat impossible odds, each of them must put the one thing they hold most dear on the line to protect the other.

What can I say, only that I was blown away again by this fourth book in the League of Gallize Shifters series. Dianna Love captures the very essence of suspense in her writing and her gift for creating a world full of paranormal characters that come to life on the page is truly amazing. This book features Gan and Scarlett working together in their race to save female shifters that are about to be sold into the sex trafficking trade. Gan is new to the shifter world and needs to find a way to make peace with his tiger before it’s too late for them both while also fighting against those who want to help him. Scarlett holds close to her chest so many secrets, because of this she never lets anyone get close to her but even she can’t help feeling the pull and attraction she has to Gan and the feeling is mutual.
This book is so action packed that there is never a dull moment. There is a lot of detailed description of the shifters changing and fighting that you would think that you wouldn’t be able to understand who is doing what to who, but it’s so well written that you won’t ever get confused. The plot is super easy to follow and the romance that blossoms between Gan and Scarlett is sexy but tasteful. This is another all round winner and a great story.
Book four in the League of Gallize Shifters, Scent of a Mate is the story of the troubled Gan and Scarlett. An engaging read with conflict, danger, and connection. I loved Gan and Scarlett and the dynamic support characters and look forward to reading Adrian’s story and recommending this to readers.
I am thrilled to be into this series with each one revealing more of the world. Scarlett and Gan give us their story without skimping on the danger. There seem to be the danger as usual even though they were the protectors. Oh the beauty that Gan is now though but Scarlett does need his help. These are two halfs that are stubborn but now they must get it together to save one. Good thing too that Scarlett sees the heart he hides or he would be in trouble also. Could he finally be free if he quits being stubborn. This one will play on your emotions like a fine harp. How it evolves and lands at the end is the sweet reward of the reader.
Dianna delivers another amazing stand alone book in an awesome series! A strong female lead who has a heart for protecting the innocent while still showing her feminine side. I didn’t want to put it down! I don’t know how she does it! It may be a stand alone book, but Dianna gives just enough background information so you know what’s going on, and there are no spoilers for past books if you haven’t read them!
Scent Of A Mate is Captivating!
Scent Of A Mate is book four in the League Of Gallize Shifters series. It can be read without reading the prior stories, but it’s better to enjoy reading in order.
I’ve been waiting for Scarlett and Gan’s story since the previous book. Dianna Love did not disappoint!
Scarlett and Gan have a chemistry that cannot be denied, but these shifters have set their own paths in stone. Or have they? This is a must read full of action and adventure and a heated passion that will keep you reading till the end.
I absolutely love Dianna Love! Being a fan of her other series, it was easy to give this one a shot. This story was everything I expected, and more. I totally fell in love with Gan and Scarlet. His backstory was absolutely heartbreaking.
I’ll definitely be continuing with the series.
I was provided with an ARC by the author for my honest review.
Scent of a Mate is the 4th book in the Gallize series written by Dianna Love. The Gallize series can be read alone or as the series because they do all link together in some sort of way. Gan and Scarlett met in book 3 when Gan’s tiger was called out of him. The book is very well written and flows together very nicely. It’s excitement at every turn and you don’t want to put the book down. There’s adventure that just sucks you in and doesn’t want to let you go.
Gan has to deal with his tiger, the one thing he despises. His tiger also despises his human as well, they don’t get along and don’t even try. Gan has been trying to deal with his tiger, and deal with the world that he doesn’t completely understand. He has an idea if he can prove that he can control his tiger.
Scarlett is our heroine, she is spunky and doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. She is an Alpha female and doesn’t let any man control her. When she needs the Gallize assistance she calls in favors. When Gan shows up it throws her world into disaster. This was one tiger has been haunting her dreams and now being close is throwing her emotions into chaos.
Scarlett has a secret she’s been trying to keep, so she doesn’t share everything with Gan. Gan wants to flee, but he doesn’t want Scarlett to get in trouble for anything he does. The two fight with eachother and work well together. It has a nice twist at the end and it’s definitely something interesting.
Everything from the beginning of the book to all the things that were in it. All loose ends get wrapped up and dealt with at the end. You end up wandering but it’s nicely wrapped up. I love the book, it’s very well. There are some parts that felt dragged out and some that happened quickly. It is a very good book and I do recommend it.
This is book 4 in the League of Galize Shifters series and it features Gan and Scarlett. Gan is having major trouble coexisting with his Siberian tiger. The Guardian has given him one more chance to prove he has it all under control. He is to help Scarlett on her mission to rescue a group of female shifters taken captive by a dishonorable shifters. He’s finally found something he and his tiger agree on and that is Scarlett and her cougar. She’s got powerful secrets people would kill for. She doesn’t want to endanger anyone that gets too close to her. Namely a hunky, persistent Siberian tiger. These two make a great team! Add in the insane attraction and it gets even better…and HOTTER!
The story line was fantastic. I could actually see it all playing out in my mind. Scarlett’s secret was quite the plot twist. All the characters were great! It was entertaining watching Gan’s character growth. I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series.
Wow, I was glad I got comfy, because this book is a page-turner. I love to picture scenes in my head as I read and the descriptions and great story telling made it easy. I really enjoyed all the unique characters, but I was rooting for Scarlett and Gan! Scarlett’s is being hunted and is after justice and Gan’s on a mission. When Gan senses his mate all he can think about is protecting her, weather she wants his protection or not. Can they battle, get justice and escape with their lives? This book is action-packed, with danger, mystery, shifters, magic, suspense, loyalty, battles, romance, secrets, twists and turns and more.
I could not put down the book, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Amazing storyline and characters. One of the best series I have ever read.

The unexpected sweetness of a hot tiger shifter
This is the fourth installment in Dianna Love’s exciting League of Gallize Shifter series. Theoretically the books could be read as standalones, as each one focuses on another pair of shifters, but they are all connected by an ongoing story arc, in which parts of the mythology surrounding this special breed of shifters is gradually revealed.
Gan and Scarlett’s story is a bit different though, because they featured as important supporting characters in the previous book, Stalking His Mate, and they also met there for the first time. Also, we get a lot of Gan’s background, as he is the adopted brother of Siofra, the heroine. They both lived in prison camps run by unscrupulous shifters, where they watched each other’s back. At that time Gan did not yet know that he is a shifter, as his animal had not yet emerged. And when it does, it’s a huge Siberian tiger that is constantly at odds with Gan. In order to learn control, he is placed in a sanctuary together with another shifter that has control issues. But Gan is deeply unhappy, as he sees this as just another prison and he wants nothing more than to finally be free and live life on his own terms.
Scarlett has demons of her own and she has made it her mission to rescue and help female shifters that have been abused. But her latest mission turns out to be more than she can handle on her own, so she cashes in the favor the Gallize shifters owe her. But things don’t go according to plan and she needs to rely on Gan for backup. Although Gan has his own plans, his tiger feels drawn to Scarlett’s cat and is much calmer in her presence. They both feel that because of their respective circumstances they cannot afford to have a committed relationship, but they can’t help developing feelings for each other. But before they can find their happy ever after, Scarlett’s past catches up with them…
I loved how different this story felt for a variety of reasons. First there is the hero, Gan: because of the way he grew up and his past experiences, or rather the lack thereof, he has kept a childlike innocence (although he is all man in other regards). But he says what he thinks and is unable to dissemble. Also, he is not driven by an unrelenting need to find his mate, as he doesn’t know about the Gallize curse. And I also liked that Scarlett is a shifter herself, whose cat can stand up to Gan’s tiger. Their relationship had an unexpected sweetness to it.
I am already looking forward to the next book in the series!
I really enjoy Dianna Love’s Galize Shifter mythos and this book was the perfect example of why. The stories are very complex with all sorts of sub-plots, secrets and entanglements. There’s plenty of action and mayhem that gives the various shifters the opportunity to strut their stuff and plenty of passion and steamy romance.
Scarlett is the ultimate paranormal female heroine – smart, independent, loyal, witty and a whole lot more than meets the eye. Gan is her perfect foil – a man who is funny, sometimes without meaning to be, strong, protective, smokin’ hot and a “wild man” who is rarely in complete control of his animal side. Together, they make a formidable duo, whether fighting of wolves and jackals and big cats or standing up to ancient wizards with a god complex.
Romance novels can be trite and formulaic – boy meets girl, girl hates boy, boy wins girl, they fight and split up but neither can live without the other, they get back together and live happily ever after. This one’s a little different, and that’s a good thing.
If you’re a fan of kick-ass paranormal stories with a hot romantic streak, I heartily recommend Scent of a Mate, and the whole Gallize Shifter series.
The Gallize shifter series keeps getting better and better. I’m loving each team member finding their soul mate when all else seems lost. The intensity of the story really grabbed me!
Dianna Love has done it again! I don’t know how she does it but I totally fell in love with Gan…he is sweet, strong and speaks his mind…there is no guessing about how he feels…lol Scarlet is awesome…she is smart, very intuitive and can kick butt! Love the ride we’re taken on in “Scent of A Mate” and can’t wait for the next book. If you love shifters you should definitely read this!!!
Gan is a Siberian tiger shifter. He has problems controlling his animal. It’s hard being one of the Gallize Shifters. I liked Gan. He longs for freedom. All his life he lived in captivity. When he sees Scarlett, his tiger responds to her cougar. Their connection was very special. Are the destined to be mates?Scarlett is a fierce fighter. She won’t let female shifters be the prey of ruthless predators. I wanted her to be successful. I like a powerful heroine. I wondered why she wouldn’t let others into her life. What is her secret? The relationship between Gan and Scarlett was so special. I liked seeing them together. Their interaction was romantic and their love was powerful. Their dialogue made me smile. I was impressed at how they protected each other. I wanted them together. I can’t wait for Adrian’s story.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.
Loved this novel. It did take me a bit to get into this novel but Gan and Scarlett were everything. Because of the cultural and language differences Gan takes everything literally but he also never wanted to be a shifter. Scarlett is determined to protect the people she loves and doesn’t want Gan to be one of those until he worms his way into her heart. This book is such a fun read and shouldn’t be missed.
*I received an ARC for an honest review*
If you think you have seen all there is to see as far as shifters go, think again. Each book in this series has felt fresh and new, and raised the bar for shifter stories, at least for me. Scent of a Mate’s thrilling, action-packed storyline, and irresistible cast of characters was a strong addition to an exceptional series.
The mystery and secrets swirling around Gan and Scarlett, and knowing that Dianna Love never disappoints, really had me looking forward to this book. The previous books didn’t tell us too much about the two, so I couldn’t wait to dig in. Every second rocked! The secrets were oh-so-juicy, the romance was oh-so-hot, and the action was oh-so-riveting.
One of the things I love most about Love’s Gallize shifters is how the shifter and human sides are separate. Gan’s relationship with his animal was especially interesting, but I don’t want to give too much away. Just know that it was very complex and fascinating, to say the least. And let’s not forget about the secrets Scarlett has been keeping. These two definitely have the potential to really shake things up in the Gallize world. I can’t wait to see what’s coming!
So do yourself a favor and check out this series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but you’ll be missing out on some really great reads.
I LOVED THIS STORY! Gan about broke my heart as the tortured hero with a heart of gold. Scarlett is smart and tough as nails and doesn’t need anybody, doesn’t want anybody as she has secrets that will get them killed. But it is mighty hard to kill a Gallize shifter especially one who has found something to fight for. This story will leave you with happy tears.
I thoroughly enjoyed Gan and Scarlet’s story it contained action, drama in all of it’s dimensions, passion with a bite of romance.
Scarlet is on a mission to find and save her friend Jaz who had helped her in the past, so she wants to return the favor however she needs help so she cashes in her marker from the Gallize shifters.
Enter Gan a Gallize Siberian tiger who never wanted to be one so he has no control over the tiger and he always argues with it in addition to the tiger always wanting to kill.
Until Scarlet. I could tell you so much more but I refuse to do so instead I will let you open this story and possibly be as enthralled as I was as you unveil the mystery of this story.
I voluntarily chose to read a complimentary copy and in no way a I compensated for my honest opinion.
This book is part of the League of Gallize Shifters series written by Dianna Love. Gan has spent his whole life as a prisoner, now he is a shifter with a Siberian Tiger inside of him. All he wants is to vanish and leave the shifters behind forever. He just has to learn to control his tiger first. As a cougar shifter, Scarlett spends most of her days rescuing female shifters from predators. She has no intention of calling in the marker Gan owes her until she needs a rogue to help her save an innocent from powerful people she’s avoided her whole life. Unlike the other Gallize, an angry Gan has no problem breaking a few rules, and she’s seen the true man inside who will protect a vulnerable innocent. She had a sound plan, one that would cost only her if things went bad, until that crazy tiger shifter destroyed any hope of walking away from him. When Gan and Scarlett face impossible odds, each of them must put the one thing they hold most dear on the line to protect the other. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author.
