Paranormal Dating Agency #88
Claws and Effect
Princess Laykin Barclay never imagined that an arranged mating designed to save her royal family’s honor would ignite a passion wild enough to rewrite destiny. When rogue bears ambush her morning jog, she doesn’t expect to be rescued by six-foot-four of muscled tiger shifter who makes her inner lioness purr louder than a sports car engine!
Zyle Rubin is a commanding tiger shifter billionaire with a reputation as an unyielding alpha. Renowned for his strategic brilliance and fierce protectiveness, Zyle’s cool demeanor cracks the moment he encounters Laykin—his heart stirred by the elegant lioness. Now he’s got his hands full with a feisty princess who’s as stunning as she is stubborn.
Laykin and Zyle discover that their connection runs deeper than any treaty could ever dictate. Can a determined lioness and a protective tiger forge an alliance that defies tradition and outlasts the forces trying to tear them apart, or will the treacherous whispers of hidden enemies doom their love before they can claim each other?

This was a great story, wonderful characters and plot that will hold you riveted
This was a simply fantastic read I truly loved the fact that Princess Laykin Barclay has been entered into an arranged marriage and then when she is actually attacked whilst on a morning jogging session, she finds herself being rescued by a group of Tiger Shifters.
Who would have believed that four tiger shifters each of them all over six foot tall and with muscles on top of muscles have all brought her tigress shifter into a state of absolute ecstasy and now that her tigress is in a constant state of arousal, she knows that she will never stop purring in total pleasure ever again.
A totally commanding tiger shifter is billionaire that is a commanding alpha he is known for fierce protectiveness and since the moment he first met Laykin his lion has known exactly where he is planning on staying with this deliciously sexy and stubborn princess who he wants to agree to be his and his alone.
This is a great read and I just know that other readers will find like me that once I start reading and reviewing this book you will not be able to put the book down until you know the end and discover the final outcome.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

For a moment, let’s just pause and appreciate the fact that this series has gone on this long. 87 books. 87 brilliant matches. 87 different worlds, some off planet. And each story is as good and unique as the first.
Claws and Effect brings together two stubborn shifters, both more devoted to duty than their own happiness. But when Gerri Wilder decides to intervene and give fate a nudge, there’s little you can do but sit back and enjoy the ride.
Zyle and Laykin had to navigate the strange path that brought them back together, as well as multiple threats from unknown enemies. Both a force to be reckoned with separately, together they find balance for their own rough edges and a path to protect their people, and each other.

Great story about a lioness shifter and a tiger shifter who come together as part of a treaty process between their prides. Laykin is a princess and Zyle is a CEO and alpha of his pride. On the day they are scheduled to officially meet, he saves her life when she is attacked on her way back to the castle. Since he shifts and leaves once she is safe, she has no idea who he was. But one thing they both suspect is that they are mates.
Lots of action in this one since someone is out to make sure Laykin doesn't get to sign the covenant. As the two grow closer they are glad they are promised to each other, but will this still be true when they discover that they were tricked into their arrangement?
I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Loved!
When Princess Laykin, a lioness, is tricked into a political/arranged marriage with a tiger/CEO/Alpha of his Pride, both Zyle and Laykin will do what's right for their people. But neither one of them knows that they've been fated mates since she was a newborn and he was only 4 years old.
But when a family member tries killing the Princess 3 times to stop the merger, enough is enough. Zyle will protect his mate no matter what!!
A great read!

Claws and Effect is the 87th book in the Paranormal Dating Agency series. It is a paranormal, shifter romance and Gerri Wilder has done it again with another amazing match. This is Princess Laykin and Zyle's story. It will keep you riveted from the start. It is a fun and exciting story with all the feels. I am hooked on this series and am excited for more.

I'm going to make this short, sweet, and straight to the point.
Laykin and Zyle are a fantastic pair. They make the story fun and exciting, and I had a great time reading about the HEA.
I can't wait to read more in this series.
Well done to the author!

Loved it
I have to say this is one of my favorites. I love how Zyle and Laykin were both smart and accepting of the situation without the usual drama.
