The gorgeous cowboy has plans for her…Desperate to find her missing brother, Tansey Nichols journeys to Montana’s Black Claw Ranch. She intends to question the owner, Ethan Ashford. Ethan’s her last hope, but the tall, rugged bear shifter claims he doesn’t know her brother. Never met him. Tansey’s sure the smooth-talking cowboy knows more than he’s letting on.Good thing she brought a gun.… on.
Good thing she brought a gun.
Ethan’s sultry smile suggests he’s imagining a hundred dirty things. He’s amused by her gun, not at all concerned. If the handsome cowboy wants to pretend he can’t recall seeing her brother, she’ll fire off a round or two. A teensy bit of gunfire might jog his memory. He doesn’t think she means business? Her brother’s life is in danger.
She’ll show him business.
The little whiskey-eyed spitfire pulls the trigger…
Good thing she misses his boots by a country mile. Ethan had been having fun until that point, teasing her a little, trying to get to know her. But Tansey isn’t interested in flirting. Most women think he’s hot. Not this one. Tansey has questions and she demands answers.
First off, her little, girly pistol has got to go. Her next shot might scuff his best boots. One quick move and she’s his. The curvy girl is no match for his brute strength. Of course, she’s mad as hell. He’s got her wrapped up in a tight hold, keeping her prisoner. She’ll need to stay put because he has a few questions of his own.
Ethan’s shifter instincts warn him Tansey’s a terrible danger to the delicate balance he maintains with his shifter side. She squirms, fighting him hard. His bear stirs and snarls. Her lush curves and the honeyed scent of her silken skin confirm exactly what he suspects.
This little spitfire is his mate.
Then gunshots ring across the Montana range. Ethan knows Tansey’s been set up.
The danger to his feisty, fated mate is closing in…

This author must know my weakness—cowboys and bear shifters! I was hooked immediately by these two things alone. This book was a good read and held my attention. I read it in one sitting and will be grabbing the next one when it comes out!
An entertaining story. A nice way to spend time. It’s got a strong heroine that’s not quite complete. And a alpha male who’s haunted by his past. They are what the never knew was missing. A cute ending as well.
Tansey brings with her, a huge amount of trouble. Looking for her missing brother Rye is all she can do, too bad she chose Viho and his Vagabond MC to “help” her. Ethan just wants to keep his ranch going, keep his clan safe and help his sister Colette through college. Along comes the mate he didn’t want, but tell that to the bear side of him, that is all set to settle down. Ethan must help Tansey and keep Viho from killing off his herd and possible being killed himself. This was a really good steamy story with great characters and back story! So good I bought the whole series!
Read it as a stand alone or read it as a set. Great easy read, wonderful characters. I just couldn’t put it down. It was so good that I bought the entire set. You are going to love it!!
This Western bear shifter story has an interesting twist.
The story read well, with enough to keep me wanting more. Reading entire series currently.
Tansy hired wolf shifters to find her brother. They had been looking for a month with no luck. Finally, the leader told her to find a man named Ethan to discover a clue about her brother. She went there and fired a pistol at him to get answers. Ethan is the head of a local bear clan. He works the ranch with them but is losing cattle. He knows it is the wolves but cannot yet prove it. The wolves lead her on a merry chase taking her money the entire time. Ethan promises to help her locate her brother while she stays at the ranch. The next-door ranch is a pride of lion’s and are in partnership with Ethan. The wolves attack and a war erupt. Tansy and her brother are right in the middle of it and the lead wolf has bitten her! Who will survive the fight? Will she survive the transition? Will Ethan still want her as his mate? Why has her brother been gone and now reappeared? What is the feud between the wolves and the bears? These questions, steamy scenes and a great romance with a HEA are all in this book! I received this book as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed a something I didn’t.
I loved the character of Ethan. He was this hard working cowboy shifter that only wanted what was best for the ranch and the men under him. He gave up on the whole mate thing because he didn’t think he had time. I loved the first meeting between Ethan and Tansey. I loved that he thought her little temper tantrum was cute. I could envision it so well.
The part I didn’t like was Tansey. I get that she was looking for her brother and wanted answers. I also understand that she is a little on the sassy side but there were times she was almost getting in the way. Her stubbornness could have gotten people hurt, herself included which never seemed to register. She was dealing with shifters and not all of them were good ones but she just didn’t care.
This was entertaining. I loved everything about except the unresolved issue of the alpha wolf. Ethan was everything you would want in an alpha and I thought he was great but this one of the few times that I liked the heroine better than the hero. Tansey was all no shit taking shit talking bad ass woman. She had a mission to complete and anyone in her way better move or get swept up in her tornado including Ethan. By the way the scene when they first meet was a great start to their relationship. The story was intriguing and sexy. I enjoyed all of the character even the bad guys. This is my first book by this author but I will certainly be reading more. I’m looking forward to reading Hunter’s story next. Until next time y’all happy reading.
I absolutely loved Tansey and Ethans story so muchm she goes to him to find out what cmshe can about her brother and refuaes to back down. He knows shes his mate and knows shes in danger. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe from all danger!
I loved Tansey and Ethan. Neither one of them was expecting the other, and that made it all the better. Ethan is just trying to stopp the men on his ranch from killing each other and stay afloat. He didn’t want anything erlse to distract him. Tansey shows up and is determined that Ethan is gonna tell her where her brother is. They have a lot to sort out and i loved the journey thwy took together. It was sweet and tense, and fun and scary and oh so very hot! I can’t wait for the next book!!
This is best for adult readers due to violence and sexual content.
Ethan is alpha and owner of Black Claw ranch. Ethan has his hands full trying to deal with past events done by his father. Ethan has come being killed and knows the wolves are guilty, but he doesn’t really want a war. The last thing Ethan needs right now is to scent his mate.
Tansey wants to find her brother. Tansey knows he has been taken, knows he’s in trouble. Tansey has employed Viho and his wolves to help her find him….to bad Viho is more interested in alcohol and women.
I like the female lead was a human and knowingly stood her growing against shifter makes that weren’t her mate. I liked that the shifter species (lions, wolves, bears) were separated by choice and not all buddies just because they’re all shifters, they work together if needed, but not all that happily. This was a good story.
I’ll take a room at the ranch
This book has it all, bikers, bad boys, cowboys, lions, wolves, and bears. From the very beginning we can relate to Tansey as she has to deal with the alpha of the wolf pack in her search for her missing brother. As her search continues we grow to love her sassy self especially when she connects with Ethan and his mismatched clan of bears. He is so adorable as he struggles to fight against fate. But like always fate will have her way in the end. The characters are all endearing and the HEA is one to return to again and again. I look forward to catching up with the rest of the clan soon, and maybe even that lion will find a human mate to tame his savage beast.
Tansey hired Vino an alpha wolf shifter of a bike gang called the vagabonds to find her missing brother since no one else would help her. He gave her a tip the sent her to Bearden and a bear shifter named Ethan.
Ethan is the alpha of the Bkack claw ranch and has no idea what tansey is taking about bug he does know she is in trouble and she is his mate he just isn’t sure he wants a mate with everything going on in his life. Plus Vino is more then he seems.
Live the action in this story. The characters are awesome with great twists and turns to the plot line it also has Danger, drama, mystery, betrayal, spice, and so much more. I didn’t want to put it down. Don’t miss it. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.
Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it .
Great book love the storyline and the characters
Suspense filled read.
This is a sexy read filled with mystery, danger, one protective bear and one stubborn woman.
The interactions between characters are entertaining and well thought out.
This was an amazing read!
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased , honest review.
I love Tansey she is a strong woman looking for her brother. It just gets complicated when she finds herself facing off against a grumpy bear shifting cowboy. The struggle between the two is exciting to watch unfold. Cecilia Lane even puts a few twists in turns that you don’t see coming. I strongly recommend this book and believe it is a good start to a new series.
Great read
spoiler alert
Humm, this is my first and maybe last book by this author. I really tried to read and enjoy this book. I did.. but really Tansey is looking for her brother Rye who has let himself be bitten so he is part wolf.
He disappeared and she is trying to find him, so she hooks up with a Viho and alpha wolf and bike bad boy ? She trust him to find her brother, why or who would do that….
She believes what he tells her and goes to confront the Guy he said was last to see Rye.
When she meets Ethan for the first time, she finds out he knows and hates Viho Valdana and his pack
Yet she never wonders why it tooks them months to get to a person Viho already knows. Instead when Ethan tell her he doesn’t know what she is talking about or brother. She shoots at him..as the book goes on she calls him a murderer, and sets the police on him. She brings him nothing but trouble, but even while she is doing all this she is fighting feeling for him huh…. He is also putting up with her doing all this stuff to him and he is not sleeping thinking of taking her to bed ?
I just didn’t understand the ending, most of the book is about all these clans hating the wolves,
Ethan’s neighbor hates humans and wolves but when when Viho kidnaps Tansey with the help of her brother, both packs the bears and the lions come together to save her ????
When the dust settle the bear and the wolf now love each other and live happy ever after
make no sense,… sorry I just don’t understand this story…
This one built in a lot of different paranormal tracks, which just adds complexity. The story was good, well written, but it didn’t capture my imagination as much as other paranormal stories too. Short read in my opinion.
