Damon Davis is the new alpha of a small-town panther pride. He’s handsome and charismatic, well-respected, and never in need of female companionship. Of course, Gerri Wilder can’t let that continue. The matchmaker sent the most beautiful, caring and strong woman his way and he can’t think about anything but keeping her.

Mia Jinks escaped her hometown a long time ago and never looked back. Now that her pride has a new alpha, she’s coming back, her heart cautiously open to the possibility of a fresh start. But just because he’s hot and charming doesn’t mean she’s ready for romance.

Damon and Mia find themselves drawn to each other by a force that defies their attempts to resist. As love begins to blossom, a shadow from the past emerges. Damon has to find a way to save the community, Mia, and himself from a sadistic monster who will do whatever it takes to have all the power.

Mia meets Gerri for lunch thinking it was about a charity event but is surprised when she finds out it is a job offer in her hometown she left over a decade ago with good reason but Gerri tells her things are different. Damon is the new Alpha of the Pride Gerri gets him to build a Rec Center for the town he agrees and she offers her hire for the director's job. When they first meet sparks do fly. An unpredictable, romantic suspense . I read a copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

Another match made!

Gerri's at it again, scheming and creating love matches.

When Mia, a panther shifter, goes to a job interview with the new Alpha of her old Pride, she's worried. The old Alpha wanted to claim her against her will. So she left the Pride a decade ago. Now it's time to go home.

When Damon, the new Alpha of the Pride, meets Mia, he realizes that he's met his fated mate. But there's something that won't allow Mia to embrace their bond.

He needs to make her feel safe before things can progress between them.

A cute read.

Gerri Wilder strikes again. 79 books into this series and I still look forward to every new story.

Mia fled from her hometown to escape an abusive alpha who had his sites set on her. She never planned to return, until Gerri intervened, offering her the chance to interview for the job of her dreams. The new alpha, Damon, brought much needed change in the town and panther pride... and gave Mia the chance for a little revenge, while finding peace, love and healing back home.

Good read!

I enjoyed this book from this series however it was a little lack luster than some of the other stories. It was pretty good to take away the stuff going on in the world. A romance reader just want to believe in love😍

Very romantic

A super squishy love story. The villain is merely a gnat in the story. There is a somewhat violent moment, its really brief. The ending is everything you could want in a romance.

Milly Taiden has outdone herself again with this latest installment to the PDA series. The characters were endearing while the story line was engaging.

I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Gerri Wilder is using a little bit of stealth to get this couple together. Mia left her pride because the alpha was harassing and abusing her. She has made a life for herself and hasn't been back home since she left. Lately, she has found herself missing her friends and family and has also become disillusioned with her prospects at her current job. When Gerri tells her that there is a new alpha for her pride and that a new recreation center is currently being built there and will be in need of a director to run it, Mia agrees to interview for the job.

Damon is proud of the new recreation center the pride has constructed with Gerri's help and contributions. Gerri is the reason he showed up to challenge the corrupt alpha of the Syringa pride and run him out of their territory. He assures her that her candidate for the director's position will be fairly evaluated. But he is completely discombobulated when he realizes that the woman is his mate and he is sure she knows he is hers - so why doesn't she seem to be as affected by the situation as he is?

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

This book is amazing, I loved every single page of this book. It has everything, action, danger, hot steamy moments, and best of all, a fantastic HEA. Elijah is a strong, powerful alpha wolf shifter, and Keira is a rogue wolf with a tortured past. These two are amazing together, and they truly need each other to solve the danger to Elijah's pack. This book will keep you glued to every single page, and like me, you won't be able to put it down till the very last page.

This was a outstanding story. Kiera is a rogue wolf on her own, working as a private investor. Elijah has recently taken over as Alpha. Taking these rogue attacks serious to reassure his packs safety. He meets his mate, and they are working together to bring the culprit down. Will his pack accept a rogue wolf as the Alpha's mate. But can Kiera trust pack life after her previous Alpha betrayed them. I highly enjoyed reading this story. Intriguing to see where Milly will take us in this new series. It just goes to show you can put your trust into the people who prove to have your best interests at heart!

😁😁😁😁💜

There are definitely some bumps in the road when a sworn "lone wolf" private investigator meets the fated mate she never wanted! Double issue ... he's the Alpha of his pack!

Great beginning to a new series. I really enjoyed this read. I like the characters, the story plot and setting, the magic/pnr feel of the whole story. I loved that I got to escape into the world with amazing characters that really drew me and. I look forward to seeing what the author brings next.

I really loved this book! Kiera & Elijah make a perfect couple. Kiera is a PI looking into the recent shifter murders. Elijah is the Alpha of the Northern Winds pack that the shifters keep missing from. As Kiera & Elijah work the clues together they fall for each other but Kiera is being stubborn about the mating bond. I loved the suspense of trying to guess who the shifter was doing killing. I didn’t guess it till the last clue and all the drama in between the clues kept me wanting to read more. I received a free ARC copy for my review.

Kiera was a lone wolf. She liked it that way- she belonged to nobody and didn't have to answer to anyone. That all would change when she followed leads on a series of shifter murders, and she met Elija. Alpha of the Northern Winds pack and her mate? What? No way, or hmmmm....maybe? Fabulous shifter romance, compete with a kick butt heroines, smart sexy Alpha and a mystery to solve. Kudos Milly Taiden!
