Fans of Katie MacAlister and Terry Spear will love this sexy enemies-to-lovers, paranormal romance about a gorgeous billionaire and a vengeful heroine from the New York Times bestselling author of Wolf’s Mate. Jaguar shifter Stella Moore has one thing on her mind – to take down the anti-shifter organization that destroyed her family. Her plans are going perfectly until a sexy-as-sin stranger … perfectly until a sexy-as-sin stranger throws off her game and decides the only way they can both avoid getting caught is to claim her as his girlfriend. Wait! What? Now she has to fly to a tropical island and play along because the alternative is…deadly.
Most people know Cole Turner as an uber-wealthy playboy – not as a tiger shifter who’s part of a special ops team to protect his kind. Now his undercover mission has been compromised by a redheaded bombshell, and every animal instinct he has is screaming mate. To survive among so many enemies, they’ll have to keep up their romantic act, find their intel… and absolutely not fall in love along the way.

The hero and heroine in this explosive romance has some serious chemistry going – chemistry that sparks flying, fuses being lit and even some fiery explosions. Stella and Cole are strong, passionate characters that demand readers’ attentions and their romance is very feisty to say the least. Both characters have an agenda and love just doesn’t fit into their plans at the moment, especially as they just may be at cross purposes. So the relationship is an emotional, turbulent and sometimes volatile ride that keeps readers smiling and even chuckling at Stella and Cole. Of course, the ribbing and snark between Cole and his fellow Rogues is also highly amusing even as readers become completely caught up in the danger they face.
The plot is fast paced, flows smoothly and keeps readers on the edge of their seat with lots of thrilling suspense and adrenaline pumping action as the team go up against the anti-shifter organization. With surprising twists, headstrong shifters and a sizzling romance, the situation is dire and full of tension that is further complicated by the mating instincts of this couple. The author brings all of her wonderful characters and exciting world to life with vivid imagery that makes it easy for reader’s to become enthralled with the story and since all of the characters have some odd quirks, the story has a realistic feel to it during the excitement of the mission and during the ups and downs of the relationship between Cole and Stella. There is never a dull moment to be found during this story which means readers don’t want to put the book down until they have read every last detail.
Rogue Shifters #2, I knew from the first book with how dickish Cole acted toward Declan trying to lure Abby away that he would get his comeuppance when it came to his book and boy does Stella lead him on a merry chase. I would recommend reading Wolf’s Mate first just because it has an ongoing story arc. Third person POV that switches from Cole’s perspective to Stella’s with a couple of chapters from Grant which means I am going to assume the next book is his, and with what’s going on in his chapters I can’t wait for. This is a well paced PNR with plenty of action and I loved the chemistry between Cole and Stella. Stella is headstrong and determined and even though she sometimes doesn’t think things through and ends up in trouble Cole loves her for it. He loves her fighting spirit their arguing acts like an aphrodisiac for them both.
Stella Moore lost her twin when they were kids, she was taken by the anti-shifter organization after she accidentally shifted in public. The Moore family fell apart after that and now Stella has no one. Stella is determined to get revenge on the man who stole her sister, James Walters, he’s a very wealthy man who is deep with Unified Humanity and Stella is going to kill him.
Cole Turner normally works with explosives but with his family being rich the team needed his last name and his family connection to get an “in” with Walters, so this time around Cole is working undercover. Cole knew at first glance that Stella was something special, he knew at the first whiff of C4 from the bomb she had under her dress that she was the one for him, it just took both of them a while to admit it. In order to protect the op and Stella they have to bring her in on it even if having her there now is a distraction for Cole that can lead to some very dangerous consequences.
Overall, it was another outstanding book. It’s a great PNR Suspense, plenty of action and romance with enough internal conflict to make the characters interesting and to hook you into their world.
Cole is a tiger shifter, rich, and a member of SHOC, Shifters Operation Command. He is undercover trying to take down Unified Humanity, which are against shifter. Stella is a jaguar shifter and wants revenge against the head of UH. After catching her trying to plant explosives in Walters office, she has to pretend to be his girlfriend and stay the weekend on an island. They try to find dirt on the members and shut it down but someone in SHOC is helping them and they must identify the mole and find Walters again.
Action, steamy, a little funny, and shifters galore. A slight cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read the next one. So glad I picked this book up.

Tiger’s Claim: A Paranormal Shifter Romance (Shifter Rogues Book 2)
By Celia Kyle
5 Stars
Who doesn’t love a good paranormal book? Add in the element of shifters and the book goes from good to outstanding! So, it’s no surprise Celia Kyle knocks it out of the park with book 2 in her Shifter Rogues series. Can I just briefly point out for those of us who like paranormal across the spectrum I was giddy to see the name, Cole Turner. I already had what he looked like in my head! Julian McMahon who played Cole Turner on the tv series Charmed! Anyhoo, back to my review of Ms. Kyle’s book. We first met Cole in the first book in this series and meeting the feisty Stella had me falling in love with these characters.
Cole Turner had played the part of uber-wealthy playboy well. He had a mission and his cover set him up so no one would guess he was part of a special ops team bent of protecting shifters. But what’s a shifter to do when his mate walks into his undercover mission and compromises what he has been working on?
Stella Moore is on a mission. Take down the anti-shifter organization that destroyed her family. So, color her surprised when in the middle of her plans a sexy-as-sin stranger walks in and throws her for a loop. This wasn’t part of her plans. But plans change and these two need to keep their wits and their romance going to avoid being caught.
Celia Kyle once again gifts the reader with engaging characters that you love. Cole and Stella had so much chemistry but the slow build of the relationship and the backstory were perfect. This book is filled with suspense, romance, crime, passion. The plot was well done and smooth. The book flowed well and kept me engrossed until the very end. Another stellar book by Ms. Kyle. Everyone needs to pick up this book. You won’t be able to put it down! A page-turner until the very end!!
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I don’t have this book yet, but I own most of Celia’s books! I need to get to reading them all!
The cover is beautiful and intense with both beasts staring us down!
This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content. I recommend reading both books, so you know the characters and world better.
I couldn’t put this book down! It was action and drama galore. Stella’s story definitely pulls at heart strings and brings out Cole’s protective side. I love the snarky and funny banter between the boys when they are working. It makes the story more awesome when you have that kind of humor. I love action-packed stories like this where there are bad guys like UH to hate, and good guys like SHOC who rock at messing with the jerks. I can’t wait to see what happens next with the team!! I’m wondering if Grant and Lottie have a story of their own….keeping my fingers crossed!
I highly recommend to any shifter fans who love awesome shifters fighting against the bad guys!! I need to read more of Celia’s work because she style speaks to me!
Highly entertaining, sexy, fun, emotional and engaging romantic adventure filled with sexy as sin shifters, heart pounding danger and undeniable passion….. this is an absolutely must read series for any paranormal romance lover (like me) that just keeps getting better with each story told.. .Looking forward to the next adventure.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to read Tiger’s Claim. I loved the first book along with the novella and waited patiently (not really) for this one. It’s hard to wait when you can’t wait to read something. It’s like waiting for Santa on Christmas.
The day finally came and all I can say is that I LOVED IT!!!! I would say I was overreacting but I really don’t feel like I am. This is a five star read for me.
One of my two favorite shifters happen to be tigers so this one really hit my heart. I love me a cuddly tiger! Cole really warmed my heart. He was so tough and sweet at the same time! I just couldn’t not like him.
I liked Stella too. I understood where she was coming from and felt for her past. She lost so much that it’s great that she found someone like Cole to be on her side. She also had his team of merry crazy men.
I love these guys!
Tiger’s Claim is very well written and you will find yourself lost in the story and left wanting to have many more. I really didn’t want to read this one quickly I didn’t want it to end. But like everything it ended and I was slightly sad. Not that I have to long to wait till the next one, I think it’s coming out in July. What a wonderful Christmas in July for me.
Believe me when I say that this is a author you really need to try. She writes wonderful stories with great characters.
Tiger’s Claim by Celia Kyle is book Two in the Shifter Rogues series. This is the story of Cole Turner and Stella Moore. I haven’t yet read the previous book, so for for me this was a standalone book.
Stella is out to get the revenge she feels she needs but runs into a road block called Cole. Cole is working undercover but when he sees Stella trying to bring down the people he working to bring down he knows he can’t do anything but work together.
I enjoyed this shifter story and will look for more books from Ms. Kyle.
