Bound To The Rogue Shifter : A Black Paranormal Romance
Season Two of Shadow Wolf Creek Collab
Nyra The Moon Festival only happens once every four years, and this time, it’s my last hope to find him—my fated mate. I’ve wandered from pack to pack, chasing whispers and dreams, but still, I’m alone. When I arrive in Shadow Wolf Creek, I know this could be my only chance.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor. A witch—with bright, dangerous blue eyes—crosses my path and drops a my mate is here, but I’ll never catch his scent. He’s cursed. And if I want to break it, she can help… for a price. She won’t tell me what that price is, only that one day she’ll come to collect. I know I shouldn’t trust her, but what if this is my only shot? I can’t let him slip through my fingers.
When I see him—Marcus—there’s no doubt in my heart. He’s mine. Strong, steady, and completely unaware that his life is about to flip upside down. He doesn’t know me yet, but I’ll make sure he does. And as for Andy, the owner of Stanley’s? He might want to dust off that help wanted sign, because Marcus belongs to me now.
Let the Moon Festival begin. 🌕

I promise you I have read all these shifter books to the point that all stories are pretty much running together 😂 but I will say this. GET YOU A SHIFTER 🙂↔️✨ they will turn your entire world 🌍 around and make you think 🤔 why did I ever fool with a mere mortal 😂
I love 💕 how when the shifters find their mate, if they are working the shifter snatch them right from their jobs. You are not working with no shifter. You’re barely standing with them. It can become overbearing at times I know but they live for their family (woman)
This is yet another good 👍🏾 read.

Great Story
It was refreshing to read a female shifter mated to a male human. I love that she made him strong in character and in strength. However, it seems strange that the witch just leaves them alone. It felt like unfinished business. Also, the time lines keep getting crossed. Ms Stone would forget that it was one month later, or three months.

Justice Fufilled
So in one of my reviews for this series I said I wanted justice for Marcus and boy did we get it. I enjoyed seeing him finally get his HEA. Tessa’s writing and world building are always great and this was a great ride with minimal drama but maximum love and devotion.

Nyra and Marcus story was cute, both longing to belong and waiting on love to find them. But with a little a slight concern at hand they were still able to found each other. The bond was instant. I was glad that the pack was able to accept him, but also glad they were able to both be happy with their little life they’ve build! Great read 🔥

Poor Andy
Marcus mom definitely put him in a pickle & Ny’s emotions got played.
Good pacing for their story. Was really good to hear about the packs & how they intermingle. It’s started to feel like a nice place to visit. lol
Im starting to feel bad for Andy & his Help Wanted sign. Lmbo

Marcus and Nyra
A shifter story with a the human male is the fated mate with a female wolf shifter
This was an easy and interesting read
There was a little drama especially with Nyra’s desperation to find her mate.
There are a few surprises but a great ending
You will definitely enjoy this story
Tessa never disappoints

Spicy and Longing Paranormal story
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
This was really good spice! The characters themselves did not have a lot of development. The story also did not have a lot of depth but it is a quick read. I really enjoyed the short groveling scene in the beginning. This is a good palate cleanser read especially if you want to read a quick paranormal story! 💖

Finally
I'm so happy Marcus finally got his happy ending. I would feel sorry for poor Andy and his help wanted sign but it's too funny. Chile, Nyra got a hold of Marcus and literally put our boy to sleep!

I enjoy all the books from Tessa Stone so far and this is no different. I love the Shadow Wolf Creek wolves lol. I just don’t like how this one ended. Delilah is still lurking yet the book ended with all seemingly Ok. It didn’t elude to there being another. But other than that, good read.

Masked scent
This was a great read. I loved how the storyline kept me guessing. This is the first human male mate book I've read. Most are always women. I can't wait for an update u got a feeling there is more to Marcus then they know.

I Like It
Just all the way around a good book, I didn’t know what the dynamic would be since we had the dominant traits in the FMC but it works really well and the characters very much make me want to read more !

Pretty good!
I'm so glad Marcus finally found his own mate. Nyla was perfect for him. She gave him strength that he didn't know he had. Loved this book and still loving this series!!

Best Book In The Series
I’m so happy for Marcus. He finally got his girl. I love his transition. He and Nyra are good together.

I liked the story. It was not your normal shifter story. A FMC whose body structure was not the typical leading material. Good change of pace!

I’ve read Tessa Stones’ other books in this series, so I definitely wanted to read this one. When I halfway read the synopsis and saw that (who I assumed was) the FMC worked at Stanley’s Diner, I immediately busted out laughing because I knew Andy was going to be pissed again lol. I love how Andy constantly losing employees to the wolf packs is a running gag throughout the books 😂
I was pleasantly surprised to find out the MMC was actually the one who worked at Stanley’s Diner. (Like I said, I halfway read the synopsis 🤷🏾♀️ I was reading this book regardless.) “Bound to the Rogue Shifter” was a nice little twist to the paranormal/fated mates books I’ve read before. Instead of the paranormal being male and the human being a woman, it’s reversed. It made the dynamics between Marcus and Nyra a little more interesting.
I didn’t remember Marcus at first but once he mentioned trying to date Jada and Maya, it all came back to me. Marcus was a sweet and respectful guy in the previous books, and I’m happy he got to have his own story with a HEA. Marcus and Nyra were a perfect match.
Nyra was very sweet too and pretty innocent and adorable. Once she learned Marcus was her fated mate though, that innocent and adorable shit went out the window 😂 Nyra is that girl in the bedroom okay? She had Marcus doing all kinds of moaning and toe curling and rolling of the eyes to the back of his head. I’m surprised Marcus wasn’t sucking his thumb after he would pass out lol.
If you’ve read Tessa Stones’ other books in this series, Nyra is Asher and Malik’s cousin. Malik makes appearances by name, but Asher and Jada are featured throughout since Marcus and Nyra are a part of their pack. Kai and Maya make a little cameo too.
This book doesn’t follow the “snowed in” theme in the series. It also introduces a witch character. “Bound to the Rogue Shifter” almost feels like it should’ve been a part of Tessa Stones’ Wintermoon series or the Fated Mates series. It’s still a cute and spicy read though so definitely check it out.
