Navin
Pride Daddies is a lion shifter series that follows the lives of mountain men and the women they are fated to mate.
Navin and his pride came from far away to establish themselves near human populations. They run a logging company high in the mountains and live on the outskirts of society. Their hope is that Fate will put a mate in each of their paths so that they may build a new community and grow their pride.
Brea is found bleeding to death in the forest. She’s obviously been stabbed and left to die. Her only hope for survival is for Navin to bite her, claiming her as his. It’s uncommon for lions to claim a mate without her permission, but Brea is unconscious. It’s now or never.
Her fate is sealed, but who did this to her? While Brea awakes to find herself bonded to a lion shifter, Navin is determined to find the man who believes he murdered her and make him pay.

The King of the Mountain has found his fated Mate.
The beginning of another exceptional series by one of my favorite authors! Paige Michaels is back, and she has completely hooked me with the launch of her Pride Daddies series. I absolutely love the concept of lion shifters and their human mates, and Paige delivers a forced-mating romance that beautifully evolves into an unforgettable love story.
The series follows a pride of lion shifters who have traveled from afar to establish a new home on the outskirts of society. Living as rugged mountain men and running a logging company high in the mountains, their ultimate hope is that Fate will put their fated mates in their paths so they can build a new community and grow their pride.
Enter Navin, the pride's leader, and Brea, a woman facing certain death.
When Navin's brothers find Brea bleeding out in the forest from an obvious stabbing, and brings her to Navin, he is faced with an impossible choice. She is unconscious and dying. Her only hope for survival is for Navin to bite and claim her as his own. While it is highly uncommon—and frowned upon—for a lion to claim a mate without her permission, it’s a matter of life or death. Navin chooses life.
Watching Brea wake up to find herself bonded to a fierce lion shifter—and seeing how that chaotic, forced beginning transforms into a deep, genuine affection—was incredibly satisfying.
Navin is the ultimate protective alpha. Not only does he save Brea's life, but he instantly becomes fiercely determined to hunt down the man who left her for dead and make him pay. The suspense element adds a fantastic layer of tension to the romance.
The rugged, mountain-man-meets-shifter vibe is perfect, and the setup for the rest of the pride leaves you eager for the next brother's story.
This book features strong elements of age play, which Paige Michaels weaves into the dynamic beautifully, adding an extra layer of comfort, caretaking, and deep trust between the characters.
If you love protective shifter heroes, fated mates with a high-stakes twist, and sweet, intense age-play dynamics, Navin is a absolute must-read. Paige Michaels has built a captivating new world, and I cannot wait to see which alpha lion falls next!

A complete wonderful read, a woman nearly murdered is rescued by three men that save her
This was a captivating read from beginning to end and I will be careful about how much I give away as I do not want to spoil this read for others. Navin had been contacted by his pride brother that had found a young woman bleeding out on the side of the forest floor and realising she was near death had brought them to their alpha.
Navin had been encouraged by Orion and Pryce to save her life and he had been strangely drawn to her and he had known that she was calling to him and that she was is mate so he had bit her and the miracle of healing had started and Navin had waited for her to wake so that he could see the colour of her eyes.
When Brea had opened her eyes that very first time, she had found herself lying in the comfort of his arms she had been stitched up and diapered and had been in the first place she had felt truly safe for years. When she h ad told Navion how she had come to be found bleeding out in the forest he had bee incensed and he was determined to ensure that she would be safe from now on no matter what it took.
When Brea and Navin are forming their relationship, she discovers that their lives are idea as a mated pair, the very first of his pack of twelve to find a mate and they all are so happy for him and they all look forward to finding their own mates.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Navin is the first book in the Pride Daddies series by Paige Michaels and I cannot wait to see how this world continues to expand, now with a different shifter!
Navin is driven and dedicated and immediate smitten at first glance and scent and getting to witness as he settles into his future, his fate, is lovely! And he's growly and protective in just the right way!
Brea is such a sweetheart and hasn't had it easy, and it takes a little bit for her to adjust, not quite trusting her new future and it's totally relatable. I adore how she does connect with him straight away though, and how that trust builds!
I loved how this explored the concept and notion of fated mates and how that fits into their community. I also really enjoyed learning about different elements of their society and culture both in public and behind closed doors, and how this changed shape as their relationship blossomed. There's some light drama and tension as the past tears its ugly head, but it just strengthens their relationship as it gets worked through.
I can't wait to see how the next fated relationship develops and grows!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book it was definitely hard to put down, the story was captivating and the characters were amazing. There is 12 lion's that had decided to leave home, they travelled for approx 1 year before they settled. Navin, was nominated by the Pride to be there alpha. Two of Navin's men were yelling at him once they put her down on his porch, when Navin opened his door looking at his men when they spoke up and told him what they found, his Pride nominated him to save her. Brea thought she was dead when she woke, Navin told her she is alive. Brea told him what happened once she was comfortable, she was told to call him daddy. Their chemistry between them was a slow burn to a deliciously hot burn, the only thing she is worried about is that he might send her away. It is too good to be true.

Review of advance copy
Just when I thought shifters couldn't get any better, Paige Michaels gives us lion shifters and makes them Daddies. I love them. Can't wait for more!
NAVIN kicks off the Pride Daddies series with a roar (pun absolutely intended). When Brea is found bleeding to death in the forest, Navin makes the ultimate split-second decision, bite her and claim her as his mate. Best decision, ever. Age play romances are my guilty pleasure, Shifter/Daddies are my kryptonite and these Lion Daddies promise to be better than ever.
If you enjoy paranormal elements, Daddy doms, fated mates and a dash of suspense, this series is about to become your new obsession. I’m giving NAVIN the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TbR and Enjoy!

Book 1 Pride Daddies
Brea and Navin
Like others I had read Alpha Daddies the series that lead into this one but it is not necessary to read the first series to enjoy this series starter book.
Brea was found by Navin's brothers in the woods, bleeding and broken almost dead. Navin claimed her to save her life and thus begins their road to a HEA but it isn't without some bumps in the road.
Be prepared for spanking, loads of steam and chemistry along with a killer storyline and characters.
This book lays the foundation of the Pride Daddies world perfectly.
5 stars for a fabulous series starter and a fantastic couple to kick it off.

Love the magical abilities shifters subsume.
The blurb for this book held such promise. Good News! It delivers and then some.
The unfolding story of how and why Brea came to the Pride's territory is intriguing and has dark aspects. Brea has morals, standards and a rare beauty that complements her personality.
I found the differences that lion shifter Daddies portray were interesting and very protective. Navin was the perfect first pride member to find his mate.
This is a great start for a new series, I like how Brea's danger from her old life was dealt with so she could have a fresh new start on a better living situation.

This is a good start to a new series. We met the Pride in the Alpha Daddies series. They have different attributes from the wolves, but they still want total control over their Little mates. Aria was left for dead in the forest when she refused to be sold off as a virgin. Navin's pack mates found her and brought her to him so that he, as pack leader, could bite her and save her. Brea initially finds it difficult to conform to his dictates, but eventually accepts Navin as her daddy. I enjoyed the story, but I do wish there had been a little more background on the Pride.
I'm looking forward to the next story.

I’m only upset that the series has just started and I have to wait for the next book :(
Spin of of Alpha Daddies.
The first book in this new series was excellent. It was similar enough to the original series that I was hooked but different enough that it felt like its own universe in a way.
The mates are found differently and there are some “cultural” differences between the wolves and lions.
I enjoyed this book and I’m excited for it to continue but upset that I read it so quick and now I have to wait.

I was fortunate to read a Reviewer copy of Navin from the author and loved it as lot. After reading the previous series, I couldn't wait to see what Paige would do with this one and I was not disappointed. This book kept my attention through to the very end. Navin and his brothers were Brea's saving grace. If they had not come across her when they did, Navin would not have his mate. You will not be disappointed with this book.

I love this new series and how it's progressing. Navin is a good leader and lovely daddy. I enjoyed all the elements that hold the readers interest. Brea is sweet, strong and just right for Navin. This is another version of age play and I hope that there will be loads more in this series. I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving an honest review. This is an enjoyable and entertaining page-turner.

I just love this series to.
It all fall so perfectly in to place when Paige Michaels starts to write a new series.
Obviously I do love the heavy age play element and how all her male characters is so very dominant.
I also love how the sub always push to test limits.
Only thing I always hope is for either former characters to rejoin I newer books or for the books to be a bit longer.
But yeah great book and story.

Been looking forward to this since I found out the Pride Daddies would get their stories and it sooo didn't disappoint! They get together in a way you don't expect but it all works out because of course fate wouldn't have any other way. If you didn't read the books where they're introduced, don't worry you don't need to. If you love this author then you'll definitely want to read this book because she once again does a great job!!

Brea was left for dead and two lion shifters found her and brought her to Navin who with urging to save her life claimed her as his mate Brea wakes up and realizes she is drawn to Navin and it takes time but she opens up about what happened to her Navin who by this time in love seeks revenge and the man deserves it I can’t wait til the next one

This book was okay. I enjoy a good DDlg book, this wasn't one of them. I didn't enjoy all the non-consent, mostly because the fmc wasn't a little, the MMC forced her into it cause it's apparently the lion shifter way. I think I'd had enjoy it more if there was consent or even CNC. That being said, it was a quick read, and it was okay, so three stars.

This pride takes pride in their mates. They stand behind and protect each other. This fun new series shows that big bad lions are really soft softies to the ones they love. Sometimes decisions need to be made to keep the ones they love safe. Happy reading!!

YEAH! new series
Paige Michaels has done it again! Like all her books, you will devour at once. This series looks as good as the previous series involving wolves. Truly a must read!

A good story that I would like to see expanded with a bit more tension. A good escape from reality.

dipped my toe into dd/lg and have decided that the diaper stuff really isn't for me. the infantilising is a bit much for me personally but aside from that i did like this one...

Not bad, quick shifter romance. Plot actually wasn’t too bad, will probably read the second one in the series when it comes out.

I loved Navin’s story as the opener for your Pride Daddies series!! I truly believe I will love these just as much as your Alpha daddies series!!
