This is the 5th book in this series and they should be read in order. Lucas and his cousin Krystal move to Texas to open a ranch. Krystal is hiding a secret and it’s about her shifter gift. Her gift is going to come in handy helping Lucas and his mate. Krystal runs into Kensie and her sister Jojo while grocery shopping and knows right away that Kensie is Lucas’s mate. The only problem is Kensie is only in town for a few days to visit her sister. Krystal invites Jojo to dinner with a plan. Jojo agrees to her plan when she comes for dinner now they just have to put it into motion. Lucas and Kensie literally run into each when they meet. Lucas can’t believe his luck at finding his mate on his ranch and she is staying for a week. Now he just has to get her to fall for him. This could be harder than Lucas thought. Kensie is a workaholic doctor. She can’t seem to stop working even while on vacation with her sister. It is going to take all of them to get Lucas and his mate together. This book was funny, romantic, and so much more. With each book, I read in this series I get sucked in further. V.A. Dold is a fantastic author and I recommend all her books. This book also starts another series by V.A.Dold. After reading this one I can’t wait to read the next one in both of these series. I can’t say enough about this book/series.

Another sexy brother from the LeBeau clan!! Lucas is the one brother that dreamed of owning a ranch. He finally found a piece of land in Texas and the adjoining Dude Ranch is also for sale. Now owning both, he has his future in his site. All he needs is his mate, a strong willed woman not into dating. She never had a date and didn't want one either, but why was she so drawn to this cowboy?
So much attraction and attention to making her see she belongs with him!
I loved this story!!

Great story with lots of romance and danger. My favourite Le Beau tale yet. Lucas get bowled over by his mate . . several times in fact. Laugh out loud funny in places but it was so touching to see him woo Kenzie. It was nice to have some of the family make a cameo. Lots of overlap in common scenes/rituals. Wait till Emma meets her new daughter-in law.

very cautious overachieving misfit meets a wolf shifter and finds herself a mate. there is danger from her overly cautious nature and a jealous colleague.

Lucas is the next Le Beau to meet his mate in Texas. Lucas moved to Texas after buying a ranch and a dude ranch next door. His cousin Krystal moved with him as well. When Krystal and Julia took a trip to town, they met JoJo and her sister Kensie. Kensie raised her sister after their parents perished in a car accident. In that time, she became a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. She constantly worked! They had to figure out a way to get Kensie to spend time at the ranch since she lived so far away. When she came back, she literally bowled over Lucas! He knew immediately she was his mate. It would take a lot of convincing and conniving to get her to agree to be his mate and to leave her job. She has an incredibly unique gift! One of her associates knows something and is trying to blackmail her! What will happen? Will that person succeed? What can Lucas do so far away? What is Lucas’s special ability? Come back for the next exciting installment of the Le Beau brothers. I received this book as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.

Who doesn't love a cowboy!!
I loved Kenzie and Lucas's story. I can totally see Kenzie change and progress through the story. She actually evolved. Dr. Anderson was a creeper to the 10th degree but Etienne's punishment was brilliant! I love how Lucas has to try so hard to gain Kenzie's affection and time. I do love his creative ways to be alone with her though. There is nothing better than a gentleman cowboy and a man who knows how to take care of his woman! I really loved this book and am super happy there is still more to the story!!

Oh! How I love the Le Beau Brothers! Ms. Dold certainly has a way when it comes to her hunky wolves. She entices you to believe that you could truly believe they existed in today's world, wishing you could find one for yourself. I love the fact that Lucas has to work to be accepted by his mate, Kensie, and that she has her own secrets to tell. The emotional rollercoaster these two embark on, will hopefully make them and their relationship stronger, if they ever let each other into their hearts.
Absolutely captivating, leaving me want more of these wonderful Le Beau men. A must read!

LONG DRAWN OUT
The books before this one were great. They told interesting stories with some drama and action. This one was just blaaaa. It makes me wonder about reading further into the series and decided it's not worth the gamble. There was really not any good thing to say about it. Sorry Ms. Dold I really tried to like it but could only muddle through about 110 pages before calling it quits. Was quite boring, no real action or anything to attempt to keep my interest. Very disappointed.

I've read most of this series and the first third of the book was very disjointed. If I hadn't known what it was about I would have just deleted this book. Big send off for Lucas and Kensi parents are there. But when she calls Lucas she comment on the send off but then she already in Tx. grocery shopping? He's just closed and yet has customers coming and everything is empty yet two weeks later they hired staff, furnish everything and are entertaining their first customers. Wow that must be that wolf speed. Not her best work.

Lucas bought a ranch in Texas and he brought his cousin with him. She found his mate and convinced her sister to help set them up. Kensie is a doctor and she is married to her job. But after she meets Lucas she starts to rethink her future. She also has been hiding a secret. One so big it could threaten her safety. Lucas is all about winning her over and getting her to move to Texas. Once again another good story.

Missed opportunity
This story had a good plot and likeable characters, but the execution had a lot to be desired. I would say half the book is page filler that did not add any interest to the book at all. This book was a missed opportunity because if the author had of left out the page filler and concentrate on writing a good and interesting story based on a good plot then it would have rated better than a 1.5.

Okay, I'm reading the series out of order, but that doesn't mean they can't stand on their own. So this hits all my check boxes...humor, suspense, and a HEA. I love the cowboy aspect, but did the bull ever get out of the mud? I also wish the author had spent a few paragraphs addressing the Jo-Jo's reaction to the changes in her sister. I look forward to reading the rest in this series.

Healing in plain view
Lucas does a great job of wooing his mate Kinsie. Kindle is a hard-working surgeon at the Mayo Clinic who has "gifts" that save her baby sister. Crazy doctor chasing Kinsie and my favorite vampire Et has another series appearance. This recipe for southern love is still a winner.

Great series
I like this series. It has a pretty easy story line coupled with fun romance and a kick of spiciness in the loving department. Great for those days when you need a break from reality and you want to believe that there are some really good guys in the paranormal world. Gotta love fiction but it spoils you for life. Happy reading!

Nothing special
Human female with issues meets handsome hunk.
Hunk falls for female.
Issues complicate romance
Female runs from hunk and gets into potential life ending danger.
Hunk rescues female and they live happily ever after.
Congratulations, you read the book.
This format is the same for most of the shifter romance novels out there. Read one and you've read them all.

Shifters Rule!
Each book in the series is about one of the Le Beau clan of shifter royalty finding true love. Lucas is no different. He finds Kensie with a little help from the Goddess. And who wouldn’t want to physically become 25 again!! There is the requisite bad guy to stir the pot. But oh the ending will make you smile!$8

Fantastic book
The story keeps you reading, wondering what will happen next. Being able to recognize the person you belong with right away can be scary. Having the relationship work out well is amazing. Loving this series. Sorry I'm coming to the end.

I liked Lucas' story, though it was a little predictable. I like how all of the series flows. It is coming together nicely. This was actually a nice change from the mysterious antagonist whose out to destroy the family. I can't wait to read more from KISS.

Nice paranormal read
If you like paranormal stories this one is good with a different slant on it. Read one by this author before and this reads well as a stand-alone. Nothing heavy just a nice little read.

True 💘 love!
Shifter stories are one of my very favorites. This book did not disappoint. The La Beau family stories are great. There was plenty of romance and I would have liked a little more suspense but enjoyed the story overall. Great for all you shifter fans out there.
