Pinstripes
Personal trainer Diesel Reed desires a mate who can meet the insatiable demands of his inner tiger. Unfortunately, none of the women he trains spark a challenge.
Until Carina Parker, his curvaceous new client, walks into his gym.
Carina has given up on conventional love, thanks to her lousy luck with dating apps. Her sexy new trainer flutters her heart, but he’s way out of her league.
Diesel thinks Carina is the perfect woman he is looking for, but Carina seems to be training hard to impress someone else. Frustrated, Diesel turns to his sister, Cammy Reed, for advice.
But instead of answers, Diesel’s encounter with his eccentric kid sister leaves him reeling in shock.
A threat from Diesel’s past traps Carina in the middle of a deadly family feud. With love and honor hanging in the balance, Diesel is faced with a bitter duty or happiness?

I love shifter romance, this was my first one with tigers. I am always a fan of body positivity in romances and this was just perfect. Watching Carina overcome her shyness and her self consciousness was pure joy and Diesel was the perfect man to help her. Their romance was perfect and the characters were all really well done. I do need to companion about that cliffhanger ending though! Now I have to wait until I get the second book to find out what happens! I can’t wait!

Sometimes you need your bratty little sister to force you to make your move. Diesel is a hunky personal trainer that Carina thinks is way out of her league. I loved how Diesel helps Carina overcome her body issues. Grrr. Tigers are better than wolves! This is a sweet and sexy romp that will leave you smiling.

Atypical
Marie Long pens a somewhat different shifter story. Shifters and human coexist fairly peacefully. P!us sized Carina is being trained for weight loss by Tiger shifter Diesel. Diesel likes Carina but she is not aware due to her prior negative romantic relationships. In addition, Diesel has family drama to sort out. Will they be able to make a true love connection?
