Great Addition to the series!
I read the first two books in this series, and this one is the best yet. There's great chemistry between the characters, and I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow. The story took some unexpected twists and I really like where it's going. I can't wait to see what happens next.

This is a very touching and moving love story between two most unlikely subjects. Loki, a product of a scientific experiment, a splice of animal DNA with human, and Captain Sawyer, a strict military man, whose job it is to keep Loki in check. The splicing has left Loki with shifter tendencies--- a cougar’s. As a result, he was held in captivity and treated to all sorts of mental and physical abuse. On the verge of death after a severe beating, he was released into the keeping of the strict Captain. Captain Sawyer felt sorry for Loki and showed him the first kindness he had ever known, and of course, poor Loki falls in love with the Captain. When Loki realizes his feelings for the Captain was returned, he was beside himself, although a bit skittish at first. But under the gentle coaxing of the Captain’s more experienced hands, Loki came to realize true love and fulfillment. The author did an excellent job of drawing the reader into the story with great pacing and flow that kept me rapidly turning the pages.

I loved the first two books in this series and I've been waiting to read Loki's story since book one. Loki is one of the hybrids that did not escape from the lab during the fire. He was moved to an abandoned prison and he had no hope of getting out until the doctor decided to use him to test a new chip. Loki ends up living with an army captain. He and Sawyer are a great match, only they don't know it yet. I loved seeing their relationship develop and I'm looking forward to the next book.

Worth Waiting For…

I’m really enjoying this series. Right from the start, I was pulled into the world of the Hybrids and captivated by the different situations, and romantic relationships. Loki made a brief appearance in book one, and I was anxious to read his story. It was worth waiting for. He had a tougher journey than the others because he never escaped captivity. When he finally had a taste of freedom, he was bitter, and ready to do anything to escape, even kill. I understood his anger, and it was satisfying to see him change and finally accept a loving relationship. I was rooting for him all the way. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

The first two books in this series were awesome. I've looked forward to reading Loki. Loki is a hybrid, a cougar shifter, that has been moved to a prison following a fire in the lab where he is studied. He has no hope of ever escaping. As part of an assignment, he is moved in with an army captain. You will have to read the book to find out what happens between the two men. I loved the way their relationship took on a life of it's own.

Ms. Stanley has a true talent and her words will keep you entranced until the end. I can't wait to read her next book in this series!

No spoilers, but things changed in book 3. I really like where the series is going. Got me wondering if the missing hybrids (Mace) will show up next, and what kind of reception they'll get.

This is a great addition to the series. Adam, book one was about a wolf shifter. This story focuses on Loki, a cougar shifter. Loki is the result of genetic experiments. He’s a prisoner in a military lab where he’s beaten and mistreated. Then he’s sent to live with an army captain where he’s shown the first kindness in his life. Loki thinks he can use sex to gain more freedom, but the plan backfires when he develops real feelings for Captain Thomas Sawyer. Of course there’s a lot of obstacles for these two, but I loved seeing the connection grow between two men who are so different. I’m hooked. Can’t wait for book four.

I was hooked with the first book in this series, and couldn't wait to see what happened next—especially to Loki. So I was really excited to see that book three was Loki’s story. He’s a cougar shifter, and different than the others because he never escaped the lab where he was raised, and he thought he’d never have a chance to be free. His pain and bitterness felt so real, I was rooting for him all the way. Each book has been about a different type of shifter. Loki is definitely my favorite of the three so far, but I’m anxious to see whose story we get next.

Loki Hybrids 3 by Gale Stanley is a super series. I will have to go back and read the other books in this series that I have missed and definitely will!
After reading One Night in Bangkok, I had to have more by this author, it doesn't mean I have to read them in order which is great and I borrowed this one but will be reading the others in this series!
Great story-line with a unique twist on shifters that I really enjoyed from the first page to the end!

An excellent addition to the series as we now focus on Loki (always liked that name) who's been implanted with a neurochip to get close to the captain and hopefully escape. Unfortunately, he falls for the captain and steamy romance is not too far away. An excellent story packed with action, sci-fi and intrigue and then comes the erotica. This book will not disappoint.

"Loki" by Gale Stanley is an excellent new turn of direction in this great series. It introduces a cougar shifter, result of a genetic experiment.
The book is a beautiful love story between two very different men with initially very different agendas. A great read.

The only good thing about this book was Loki and Fuzzy’s relationship. They didn’t need Tom.

[JB · Rating 1 out of 5]

The writing didn't grab me and I couldn't connect with the characters in the book so returned for a refund.

[Tyisha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so happy that Loki was able to let his guard down to be able to fall in love with Sawyer. I actually thought it was weird that Sawyer didn't check his house to see if they were watching him. It's like he never thought that they were watching him. I feel like he should have known that because he was in the military. However, I did think they were the best couple. They both had things to work through and they helped each other get through those things.

My favorite of the series. Love cat shifters.
