These Shifter Forever World books just get more and more exciting with each couple. I loved hat Anya and Bryson found each other. I am excited to see what happens with Pepper and Astra. Elementals...yay!
At long last we are meeting Anya, a character we’d only heard of from the Bear Canyon Valley stories. Her character carries a great deal of guilt around and it has led her into her life’s work. When she gets this assignment, she’s completely (and intentionally left) unprepared. Initially, she’s ready to turn the assignment down after she meets her charge and the little girl’s father. Thanks to six degrees of separation, Anya and Astra meet again and whiles there’s still much to be done and (thankfully) more stories to be written, everyone gets on their paths to healing and to learning more about the elementals. And I can’t wait!
Bryson, Bryson, Bryson. Sexy and knows a good thing when he sees it! Alpha sex appeal to the extreme. Anya never stood a chance! My only complaint is that we STILL don’t know what his job is even after the mating is complete. Seriously, Elle? Anya even mentions she has no idea what he does for work. I thought ok, that is coming up later then. Nope. Never revealed. Almost got a 5 star out of me but that dropped a star. Great fast paced story though with a sweet HEA. Loved Pepper.
Anya has been haunted by an event in her childhood. Something neither she nor her tigress could have prevented – but that does not ease the guilt or the inability to face her childhood friend once more. Anya has always been good at keeping people at bay… until now.
Bryson recognized the woman who’d been sent to safeguard his daughter, Pepper. Oh, he didn’t actually know her, but his leopard did and he was mere steps behind his big cat in agreeing that this shifter was perfectly made as his. But right now he had to convince Anya to stay and protect Pepper – especially once she understood exactly what made Pepper so very special to warrant her own bodyguard at age 5, aside from her father’s wealth.
Forgotten is a sexy, intense shifter romance full of danger, hidden secrets and surprising reunions. We will also run into past friends from previous books. Anya is a stubborn, brave woman who has allowed her inability when a child to govern how she views herself. When she has a chance to reconcile those decisions she’ll truly be ready to open up herself, her heart to the love of Bryson and his adorable daughter, Pepper.
Another piece of the puzzle that always runs through Ms Thorne’s series – I love when they cross over allowing even more interesting interactions between her characters. If you love shifter romances, you can’t get much better than these stories.
Another great example of the complexity of author Elle Thorne's mind. Ms. Thorne weaves a tale of love, danger, mystery and suspense bringing you great characters and an awesome storyline. Anya is our missing white tiger shifter mentioned in relation to Astra. Feeling she must atone for what happened in the past, she now protects those who can't protect themselves. Bryson is a strong shifter, but he needs help to protect his daughter pepper from those that wish to take her from him. There are several twists and turns in this storyline that leave unanswered questions and make you wonder about the real purpose of the Order of the Elementals. After reading Ms. Thornes stories I am seeing a pattern where she weaves these underlying themes into her romantic tales leaving you unsure of the direction that will be taken. I find this to be very clever on her part as they help draw you into her different worlds and leaving you wanting more. I like how each different series overlaps and you get a chance to keep up with past characters. This creates a realistic family feeling and keeps the series tied together. I look forward to seeing what comes next and what this great author has in store for her loyal readers.
Anya was a kid when she left Bear Canyon Valley after she was unable to save Astra's mother from attackers. As an adult she grew up to be a bodyguard, and was tasked to protect Bryson's daughter who has an elemental. However, once she realizes she is going to be protecting a child, she doesn't want anything to do with the job, especially since the little girl looks like her friend Astra.
After talking to Bryson's daughter, she agrees to take the job. But in the mean time, they can't keep their hands off each other. His daughter's dance teacher Isabel is Rafe's mother, and unknowingly Astra and Anya run into each other. This is the first time they have seen each other since the day Astra's mother died. People from the Order of the Elementals are after Pepper since she too has an elemental. With help from Kane, Astra, and Rafe they are able to defeat the team keeping Pepper safe.
Forgotten allows us to see characters from earlier books and characters from other series, which I think is great. I like the fact that we can watch earlier characters continue to grow, and get to know them. Forgotten was one my favorite stories by Elle, next to that of Vax, Rafe, and all the bears. I guess, its really difficult to pick a favorite I love them all.
Anya Masenti is a white tiger shifter living in Monaco with Cal for years since she was sent there when she was 18 by Mae to battle the demons that plagued her since the massacre in Bear Canyon Valley that took the life of her best friends mother...It still plagues her dreams, but she has made peace with her tiger whom she'd always blamed for their inadequacy to protect Astrid's mother.
Now she is tasked by her employer Cal to be bodyguard to hot as sin millionaire leopard shifter Bryson Courtland. But it's not him she has to guard, but his daughter Pepper and there is something very strange about this child. What is the mystery that hides inside this child and will Anya be able to guard her with the distraction of her father always looming. She has never felt such an attraction to a man before and her tiger wants that leopard , not to mention that the leopard wants her tiger too.
I was very happy to see Astrid finally meet up with her childhood friend Anya.
The passion in this story is I expected cat shifter passion to be, very hot! I can't wait to read more of Shifters Forever.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
Anya has been hired a a bodyguard by Bryson, but she has no idea what she is getting involved in. As soon as she sees him she wants him but that is a big no no, she has too much past to get involved with anyone. Bryson has other ideas though, he wants Anya as his own. Who will come out the winner?
This was quick and fast pace read I really enjoyed reading this series also I like how it intermingled with other from the previous books so we get a glimpse to see how everyone else's doing.
What could be better than a shifter story full of hot alpha males...how about one full of gorgeous alpha females. Elle Thorne has added great Alpha Females to go with her hot alpha males in her Never After Dark series. Great job!
Maybe this is just me but it wasn't my favorite. I red this box set and this one wasn't my most favorite. I had kept up with Anya and Astra but I don't know something about Astra and Anya's relationship bothered me. But then again I'm weird like that.
Another good story by Ms Thorne. Great characters and Interesting story. The characters were well written. It had a nice steady flow to the writing. I liked it.
This one just had me confused. There's no real explanation of what an elemental is or does. Maybe if I had read the series that this is a spin-off from.
