Unclaimed

Devilish #1

by Charity Parkerson

A terrible breakup sent Frost scrambling across the country for a new start. He never expected to find a whole new existence. One he didn’t believe was real.

After getting brutally dumped by his longtime boyfriend, Frost found himself nearly three thousand miles away from everything he had ever known. He isn’t afraid to start over, but he might be a tad terrified of the wildlife that suddenly plagues him. When he bought his cabin in the middle of nowhere, the realtor warned him he might see a few dangerous creatures. She didn’t warn him about Gemini.

From their first meeting, Gemini knows Frost is his fated mate. There’s just something about his scent. Unfortunately, Frost is human, and Goddess Celeste also obviously has a sense of humor, sending a snow leopard a mate named Frost. Gemini has no idea what he’s doing, but he’ll do it anyhow. Living without his mate isn’t an option he’s willing to choose.

Unclaimed is the first book in Charity Parkerson’s Devilish series. It is a spinoff of her Hellish series, where vampires, Weres, demons, gods, and all manner of the supernatural live together beneath the noses of humankind. These books are best when read in order.

A devastating breakup leads Frost to seek a fresh start nearly three thousand miles away. He's ready for a new beginning but is unnerved by the sudden appearance of unusual wildlife around his remote cabin. What his realtor failed to mention was Gemini. From their first encounter, Gemini, a snow leopard shifter, recognizes Frost as his fated mate based on his scent. Despite Frost being human and the ironic name given his own nature, Gemini is determined. He has no idea how to navigate this fated bond, but he's unwilling to live without his mate.

I loved this story which was the first one in a new series. I loved both men who were different but perfect for each other and Frost had plenty of surprises of his own. I also loved Roku the snake shifter who kept appearing to frighten Frost. Lots of characters and background information which I'm sure will make reading the other books in the series easier. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

LOVED THIS!!!

DEVILISH Book #1. I Absolutely Loved This!! I have a lot of respect for CHARITY PARKERSON as a writer and this Book is fast paced, informative and FANTASTIC!! Frost is a Doctor who has just moved to a new small town. Settling in, is going to be full of surprises for him. Gemini is a Snow Leopard shifter who is just as surprised and happy when he finds his fated mate. I really, really enjoyed this. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Fall off the rails with this crazy train!!!😍😍😍

Crazy sexy! Frost and Gemini will leave you hot and bothered as it should be.😏 This supernatural tale has so many worlds colliding it will spin you dizzy. I can't wait to get the rest of the story! Fun and exciting with dynamic characters. I definitely recommend adding this to your library!😁

cute and fun

Cute, fun and a decent setup for a series. I like the way this author writes, except… it’s way too short. I haven’t read the next yet, but I feel like it’s going to be the standard ‘different couple every book’ type and there is way too much drama planned for the stories to be so short. Then again, maybe the next one will be more elaborate. We will see.

meh. it was cute, but there wasn't really a plot and there wasn't even really THAT much smut to balance the lack of plot? plus the end of the book just kind of changes to the POVs of the characters from the second book without much preamble and it didn't really feel like this one ended. it was an easy read but pretty much only bc it was short

Odd and unsatisfying

First book of this author for me. This is a train wreck. Things that should be explained subtlety are thunked in. The mc talks about not really existing until he meets his mate. Dehumanizing. And no “Asian” person refers to their heritage as Asian. How weird. I barely managed to finish reading.

No one turns out books like Charity. These are the perfect short and steamy books to cleanse your little book pallet. And this girl has a genre for EVERYONE. Thoroughly enjoying her shifter era
