Alaskan Tigers #5
Trusting A Tiger
Felix Grady’s world came crashing down around him when he received confirmation his twin brother was torturing women. One of the victims was none other than his destined mate. Torn between his twin and protecting his mate and clan, Felix must make the ultimate choice between the two.
Harmony Kirk suffered for years under her former Alpha and Henry. Now in Alaska under the protection of the Alaskan Tigers, she’s expected to forget everything that happened and commit herself to the clan. Destined to be the mate of one of the top members of the clan doesn’t make things any easier. It doesn’t help that the destined mate is the identical twin to the man who spent years abusing her.
Will eliminating Henry make things easier or harder for Harmony? Can she move past Felix’s face and see him as a different man than the one who abused her for years? Will it free her from the past she’s locked herself into, allowing her to be with the man who is her destiny?

The Alaskan Tigers just can't catch a break, everyone seems out to get them. They just get past one threat when the next one comes along. Felix and Harmony's story just goes to prove that love comes even when you least expect it and family can be cruel. Henry was a victim as well as a monster and he should have been protected first by his parents and second by the Alpha. So many questions yet to be answered will have to read the next book to see how it all pans out.

Read as part of a Book #1 - #5 bind-up.
There are several grammar/word choice issues; the book would have benefited from editing. In particular, she doesn't know how to use the verb "to run" correctly in anything other than simple tenses and she doesn't appear to realize that "peak" doesn't mean "pique" or "peek".
Again, we have the repeating story. This time, we have Harmony who was found injured and brought into the compound. After she's healed, she ends up mated and has to learn to trust this Alpha when the last Alpha she knew gave her to a mad man to be repeatedly raped and tortured (and she has the scars to prove it). The elders of the clan seem to feel: "Get over it!" They have little sympathy for her lack of trust. Even the consumption of her mating must be rushed because her animal causes her pain because it hasn't occurred.
Also, her abuser is the identical twin of her mate. Lovely, yes? And the solution to his illness is to kill him. Shifter life is tough.
Although these are shifter books, we rarely see any of the shifters change. They usually fight as humans. They live as humans. They live in isolated areas so that they can change, but we never encounter anyone as a tiger normally. It seems odd.
The solution to being afraid in these books is always one or more of the following:
* Stay in the compound
* Stay with your guards
* Trust your mate
* Learn to fire a gun (learning almost instantly)
There are guards, but no regular training is mentioned.
Because of the mate bond which you discover when you touch skin-to-skin, there's not really any romance.

I’m Not a Tiger but You Can Trust This is a Good Read
I am loving this series. It has more twists and turns than a world-class roller coaster. The characters continue to build on the previous book which allows the reader to check in on old “friends.” My only complaints come in two forms. 1. By the time I read the new book, I don’t always remember who the former minor characters were. A list with brief description may be helpful to add if there is ever an edit. 2. Speaking of editing, the books could stand a good editing. The main issue involve misspelled words, homonym errors, and missing or repeated words. While it doesn’t usually affect the storyline it a drastic manner, it sure does drive this former English teacher crazy.

I've read this entire series and most of them I like. The 1st was not great, but nowhere near as horrible as this one. Poor Harmony is just expected to adjust and deal with the hand dealt her. Her former rapist is her new mates twin brother- how would you like to have to live with THAT every day? Forever more having to live with the face of the man who tortured you?
I've never cared for Tabitha, the tiger queen, and in this book came to despise her. I almost hoped the bad guys would take her out, along with Ty, Tabitha's mate. The entire council puts Harmony in a bad place emotionally and does NOTHING to help the poor girl.

Trusting a Tiger
Harmony had been kept as tortured by Henry. After being rescued she was afraid of everyone. Except Robyn. Felix looked like his twin Henry which made getting near Harmony hard. Discovering they were mate's. Felux wondered how they would ever get past what had happened.
Love the series. I can't get enough of the characters.

There...
There are too many threats coming at the tiger clan. They are being pulled in too many directions, with not enough manpower. It seems they no sooner eliminate one problem, another pops up!
The excitement continues...and so do I!

Trusting A Tiger
I think I will be giving all these a five star rating. I have nothing but praises for all the books in have read so far and I'm sure it will be the same for the others.

More tigers
The Alaskan Tiger series just keeps getting better. Harmony and Felix have a rough road to travel as mates. Tabitha is closer to announcing herself as the Queen of all tigers. A great paranormal romance series.

Felix realizes Harmony is his mate, but can't claim her due to her past. Harmony fears Felix because he looks like his twin that abused Harmony. Robin helps Harmony overcome her past and they develop a close bond. This was such an interesting book and was hard to put down.

Good
I enjoyed this story. It's a fast paced, easy read. Daisy and Harmony's characters are harder for me to like. Overall a good story.

Last of them that I had. Will not be hunting down the rest of the series. The intrigue background story isn't bad but the surface love story for each book leaves something lacking for me. Dnf series.

This book was part of the eleven books in the From Darkness Comes Hope: A Sexual Assault Survivors Anthology. Being a survivor myself I wanted to be able to support the cause as well as read books by some amazing authors.
This is book five in the Alaskan Tiger Series. Having not read the other four books, I was still able to understand the story and not feel as if the story line was too complex. I felt that the paranormal factor was second to the human factor. Mated? Of course that was a paranormal factor but the author made sure to make the book feel real. Well at least as real as you can get with a paranormal genre. It was more about the human factor of fear, abuse and desire for safety.

I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Marissa Dobson. This is book 5 of the Alaskan Tiger book series.
Felix Grady is the head of the guards for Tabitha's team and when a tigress is found wounded he is surprised to find out his twin brother is involved. Harmony Kirk escaped the Ohio Tiger clan just barely and when she is found it was hard to trust anyone. Together Felix and Harmony find peace after tragic events happen.
WOW this book is a great read because of a great story line and well written characters.
This book is for any mature paranormal romance book lover and the books should be read in order.

The main character is a bit over rated with so many trust issues.
