When Lily catches her boyfriend of six years cheating on her, she kicks him to the curb and holes up in her apartment. To her chagrin, her friends won’t let her wallow. They drag her down to the local shifter bar, where she meets Roderigo, a gorgeous and thoughtful shifter who could almost be torn from the pages of one of her favorite romance novels. The trouble is, just when she’s beginning to … to think there might be something between them, he disappears on her.
When Roderigo meets Lily, he feels peace for the first time since he’s been changed. Before long, he’s sure that she’s his mate. But something evil is preying on his pack, and whatever it is threatens to hurt Lily if he doesn’t stop investigating. He knows he can’t fail his pack, but he can’t put her in danger, either.
He wants her.
He wants her to be safe even more.
He’ll do whatever it takes to make her safe.
Even break both their hearts.

** spoiler alert ** Lily is struggling with her recent break up. Roderigo is struggling with his shifter side. Someone is out to destroy them. Will Lily be able to accept and move on from her past? Will Roderigo learn a balance between himself and his hyena?
Loved how these two were drawn together. I didn’t blame Roderigo for his thinking, but loved when he came to accept that he could protect her better if she was close. I loved how this book touched on Lily’s last relationship and what is was like to struggle to overcome and stand up when it comes to mental abusive. Great read!

Get your shift together
This book is so good !! Yet again this author has given us a strong alpha male who is a little out of sorts. He is trying to overcome his issues on his own, but it’s not until he meets his strong, feisty mate that he manages to really turn the corner. These two are so lucky to have found each, have great friends and family to support them or they might have never reached their HEA. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
I liked Rodrigo when we met him in the first book. He hasn’t been changed for long and controlling your beast takes some practice. He is getting better but hasn’t quite found the right motivator yet. Lily didn’t impress me much. After finding her scuzzy boyfriend banging the yoga instructor and left him I thought she would get herself together. She even admitted to herself that her ex was controlling, possessive and was trying to change her to his preferences. After that, she still waffles on taking him back when Rodrigo doesn’t call back when she thought he should. He is working on finding a predator that is hunting and kidnapping shifters. Rodrigo wants to prove to the pack he can pull himself and his beast together. When he finally finds the culprit they will fight for Lily and Carol, a wolf that was kidnapped, before they become the latest statistic. I am sure hoping Van and Carol’s story is coming soon.
This story is amazing love story. He’s found his one. But evil is lurking around the corner. He’s definitely not going to put her or his pack in danger. Though he;s breaking both their hearts. Will he defeat the evil and get his heart? Well written and excellent read.
Lily had been with her ex for six years. Finding him in her bed with a yoga instructor was really the last straw.
She made the break, but it is really hard to make the break a clean one once you have become used to the companionship- and there he still is lurking. When he tries to blame Lily for his actions, she knows she has done the right thing. It does not make it any easier though.
Neither does her attraction to Rodrigo. The kidnapper hunting his pack warns him away from Lily, and the foolish hyena avoids telling her why, and that she is also a target.
Action packed steamy shifter romance in a KU book!
I received an advance copy of this book from Booksprout. I read it on Kindle Unlimited.
The Hyena’s Hope by Emilia Hartley is a compelling story of love. In the beginning of this book, Lily a human bookstore book catches her boyfriend Brock cheating on her. When she breaks up with him, her friends take her to the shifter bar in town. At the bar she meets Rodrigo, a hyena shifter who she is attracted to as much as Rodrigo is immediately smitten with her. This story is full of romance, mystery, and suspense. It was an entertaining read from the first page to the last. If you love reading stories full of exciting paranormal romance, you will love this book as much as I did. The Hyena’s Hope is an awesome tale of shifter love .
Rodrigo is sending all kinds of mixed singles. No wonder Lily is so confused. Rodrigo is afraid that he will lose Lily. Trying to stay away from her so the kidnapper will not target her. Trying to find him before he takes another one. Things are getting tight. Very good story. Exciting and uncertainty make it were I’m sitting on the edge of my seat. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
This was a great read! The story of Rodrigo and Lily was full of everything. Action, mystery, self acceptance and love. They have an instant chemistry upon meeting. After, a few chance encounters, Lily starts to believe the relationship could turn into more. But Rodrigo has a duty to his clan. He begins to pull away. He thinks he’s doing the right thing. Due to a recent betrayal, Lily thinks she’s the problem. But the two don’t seem to be able to stay away from one another. Will they find their HEA? I was glad to see this turn into a series. The first book was good. This one even better. A few hints were thrown around as a clue to book 3. Can’t wait.
This is the second story in the Beasts series by Emilia Hartley. What that means is that if you want a good book to read, read any of Emilia’s stories. She knows how to build a world that is realistic with characters that are very well rounded. It’s like these are people that you have met before and are just remembering. Even though this is the second story in the series, you don’t have to read the first to get into this story, but you will understand a bit more about the background of this hero from the first story.
Lily just broke up with her boyfriend of six years when she caught him doing naked yoga with the instructor. She realized that even though they have been seeing each other for six years, and she has been very supportive of him in getting his education to become a doctor, they didn’t live together. They basically only saw each other every other weekend. He lived on campus and she lived in town. She realized that not only could he be seeing women all along on campus, but he was very controlling with her. He dictated what type of clothing she wore, how she wore her hair and who she hung out with. She just went to work at the bookstore and went home. Her girlfriends wanted to celebrate her freedom by going out. They fixed her up so she wouldn’t be her usual frumpy look. They did her hair, makeup and even the dress she wore. She looked hot. Then they dragged her to the shifter bar and then they all scattered. She was by herself until she found a little alcove to hide in. One of the bouncers brought her another drink. He was yummy, but she is shy. After a while, her ex shows up and the bouncer gets him to leave. She has had enough excitement, she goes home. She starts thinking about all the ways her ex treated her and what she actually wants in a relationship. Like in the romance stories that she likes to read.
Roderigo has had a hard time learning how to control his inner animal. He has gotten better. It helps working as a bouncer at the shifter bar his pack owns. His animal likes violence and blood, and he gets that breaking up fights every night. He wants to be an asset to his pack. When he sees Lily, he is gobsmacked. It is the first time that his inner animal is quiet and content. He feels that he doesn’t deserve to find his mate yet, not until he can be an asset to the pack. When he runs into her the next day, he pulls her from being hit by a truck. Minutes later he hears a howl that he goes to investigate. He finds Carol. She was turned around the same time as him, but she has been missing for months. He gets her back to the pack house to find out that she was kidnapped. The kidnapper threatens to do harm to Lily if he doesn’t back of the investigation. He volunteered to find the kidnappers for the pack and he won’t stop until he does. He doesn’t share information with the Alpha or anyone else about the threats, but goes along. He tries to back off of Lily, but they keep running into each other. He can’t help himself. He knows that if he stays away until he catches the kidnappers, Lily might be pressured to go back with her boyfriend. If he stays around Lily, then he will be letting his pack down by not catching the kidnappers. He’s in a catch 22.

Sadie has just come out of a six-year relationship with Brock, a medical student. Rodrigo is a hyena shifter who was changed not so long ago. He is fighting to keep his beast under control all of the time. When he meets Sadie, his beast calms down. Great story and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ridrigo seemed so sweet and protective from the start and only got better as I read. It made my heart ache that Lily put up with all the things her ex Brock had put her through. Lily seems so lacking self esteem that she jumps to conclusions when Carol comes to Rodrigo for help. Smh! I could shake Lily for considering going back to Brock !!! WTH!? Things take a surprising twist and the villains are found out and dealt with appropriately. Looking forward to the next book.
