Take one protective, growly shifter.Add his fated mate, a sassy woman who awakens his bear.Stir in a marriage of convenience, a remote cabin in the woods and let simmer…Everly Mather’s very terrible, no-good day is fixing to get a whole lot worse. To start off, her alpha announces he wants to mate with her, to produce an heir. When she gives him an emphatic nope, her guardians take her for a … nope, her guardians take her for a drive and abandon her on the side of a desolate road.
The long hike home is punishment for her defiance.
Her bad day takes another down turn when a big, hulking bear shifter stops for a friendly game of twenty questions. He seems to think she needs rescuing. He’s all kind of mad and snarling on account of her pride dumping her in the middle of nowhere.
He refuses to mind his own business.
And refuses to go away.
When she insists she’s just fine without his help, thank you very much, Mr. Growly McBossy tosses her into his truck, and hauls her out to his cabin in the woods. If her jaguar pride cast her aside they don’t deserve a fine little thing like her. He announces his plans to keep her.
Period.
Just a little neighborly protective custody…
Everyone thinks bear shifter Sawyer Strickland is gentlemanly…
Yeah, that all goes right out the window the moment he finds the pretty little blonde on the deserted road. Everly’s lovely hazel eyes and sweet curves awaken his bear along with a whole lot of protective instincts. She doesn’t want his help?
Too bad.
She’s getting it anyway. There’s no way he’ll leave a vulnerable, albeit sassy, woman out in the middle of nowhere.
Especially when said female is his mate.
Instead of returning her to her people, he carries her off to his cabin. His hospitality doesn’t exactly win her over. Even after a few days, circling each other in tight quarters, she’s still a tad miffed over the whole deal.
After a little time, she’ll come around. He’s sure.
But what comes around instead is her pride alpha, spouting all sorts of nonsense about mating with Everly. Not happening. Sawyer’s ready to give the big cat shifter a beat down. He’s furious that Everly was left behind by her pride members. Also, she belongs to him. There’s that too. Just when things are about to get interesting, Everly surprises both men.
She claims she’s already married. To Sawyer.
Sawyer knows he can protect his woman with a marriage of convenience.
Even if his possessive bear demands to claim his sweet, fiery mate.
~~~
Step into the world of Shifting Destinies, where the men and women you meet might just be a little more than human. Their towns are protected by magic, and their hearts are open and ready for love. But watch your step – more than darkness lurks in the shadows.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
Her alpha tells Everly that she will give him an heir
She is having none of that.
Sawyer just found his mate on the side of the road.
When he tried to help, she said ” No Thanks”
He was having none of that.
Will 2 stubborn shifters learn to compromise ?
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!

Then she gets dumped in the middle of nowhere as punishment by her chaperones then Mr Growly McBossy shows being her knight in shining armor finds out what happened and ………….lol
Sawyer also know as growly McBossy lol is a bear shifter what comes across his mate vulnerable and abandoned by the side of the road and telling him to mind his own business and she doesn’t need his help. Lol yea that not happening
This was great funny lots of drama. I loved the characters and how they interact. All the action, mystery, intrigue, and betrayal are fantastic. The bad guys are epic you are going to love to hate them lol I couldn’t put this story down! This was awesome add to the series I can’t wait for the next book.
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.
This story could be a real heartbreaker if Everly and Sawyer weren’t such strong characters. Instead we get a story that is hopeful, romantic, funny, and an action filled thrill ride. The overarching storyline of shifters and humans learning to live together is revisited and also tugs at your heart as the shifters are discriminated against. But, the clan proves to be the family you chose and their bond is everything Everly never knew existed. I love this series
This story catches your interest immediately and moves along at a great pace. It’s original and fun, with a nice ending. It’s a great read for snuggling in a cold winter day or a warm sunny day at the beach.
Very entertaining.
great read
Loved it
