Each book in the Shifter Grove Brides series can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger!
A short but sweet "second chance at love" shifter romance. I liked the characters and the fact that the heroine was a single mother. It was a fast paced read. It did have that insta-love feel to it and was quite predictable, but it made for a nice light shifter romance. I'm glad it was offered on kindleunlimited.
Book 6 of Shifter Grove Brides series One Last Prowl. Dahlia has a young teenage boy that is half lion but as yet not shifted. He's become difficult and been kicked out of many schools. After been expelled from his last Dahlia decides to meet Austin and see if the spark is just in messages or in real life. Austin and Dahlia have both lost their mates and have a lot in common but with a unruly teenager. Really enjoyed this change of pace with a unhappy teenager involved. Great ending and HEA.

Sasssyness,hotness,steamy sex,Alpha males and a grumpy teen will make you smile and help you visit once more the amazing Shifters Grove. I truly can't wait to read more!

Anya, yet again, has produced a very intriguing and well-written shifter story that I enjoyed reading immensely. Since the loss of his father, Dahlia’s son, Marcus, has been quite a handful, causing her endless problems. Austin is chasing his dream of opening a bar - a dream he has had for many years. As a lark, Austin puts an ad on SassyDate; Dahlia answers the ad and they begin to converse with one another. Austin doubts he will ever get serious again, but doesn’t want to deny himself a chance at happiness. There is something about Austin that hints at a dark past, things he would rather keep to himself. Dahlia and Austin eventually meet and confide in one another - finding they have more in common than they want to admit - even divulging their secrets to each other. Marcus is wary of Austin - no man has gotten close to his mother in years. Austin starts spending a lot of time with Marcus, teaching him whatever he can – he is becoming like a son to him – but Austin also wants to unravel the reason why Marcus hasn’t shifted yet. Tired of hiding her happiness from Marcus, Dahlia tells him than while no one can replace his father, there is room for more love in their lives. Marcus feels betrayed and angry, and this unleashes his shifter power. Unable to control this, Marcus puts both himself and Austin in danger. This was an extremely good shifter story that I would have no hesitation in recommending. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Austin and Dahlia have lost their mates and have been alone. Dahlia is raising a teenage son and is worried about him being without his shifter father there to guide him. She is also lonely after five years of being a widow. Austin is trying to start over in a new town and hopes for some happiness.
They meet on an online dating site. After after months of flirting, Dahlia brings her some Marcus with her to meet Austin in person. They both feel the connection but Marcus is resistant to having a new man in his mom's life. Austin will have to show him that he is not intending to take his dad's place.
It is a sweet romance story and a pretty quick read. The characters are good people who have been hurting and deserve some happiness. Together, they can heal one another. I like these feel good stories especially during the holiday season.

**** reviewer for paranormal romance and authors that rock
Dahlia Roberts was a single mother to a teenager son whom she wanted to be the kind of man that her late shifter husband would be proud of. Raising a lion mountain in the city wasn't ideal especially when her son kept fighting her.
Dahlia decided to try dating again, she answered an ad and a it was a decision she would never regret. She and Marcus couldn't be happier in Shifter Grove.
Austin Duskstep knew what loss was as well but he didn't let it keep him down, he was ready to date again and he took that leap of faith with Dahlia.
Dahlia and Austin were a perefect match, loved how in sync they both were....Austin was really great with Marcus, they three of them became a family.
Love the bond between all the residents in Shifter Grove. Another fantastic story.
One last prowl. Shifter grove brides This one was slightly different. Here is a single mom,Dahlia, trying to raise a shifter kid in the middle of NYC. Marcus has never shifted, his dad died when he was 8. He's angry and afraid. Dahlia answers a sassy ad,placed by Austin a mountain lion shifter in Idaho. Austins' fated mate died a long time ago. He never thought he'd find anyone to love again. On a whim he placed an ad on sassy brides website. ON a whim Dahlia answered it. Hoping to make a better life for her son, and just maybe herself.. This ARC was given to me in exchange for an honest review
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I love these shifter stories. And book 6 does not disappoint. Austin and Dahlia have already found their fated mates however life has thrown both of them a curveball. Dahlia has a son, Marcus, who may or may not be a shifter. Austin and Dahlia meet thru SassyDate.com and try to start a relationship. This story is the first I’ve read with a child involved and Marcus (of course!) makes Austin work for every tiny step forward. It was a very good, well-thought out story with a hawt big cat shifter and a scared single mom with a confused teen. What could have been clichéd was an excellent read. Really enjoyed.
I received this for my honest review. I really enjoyed reading this and it gives you more of shifter grove and how it is expanding. This is a story about Austin who is a were lion shifter and has just opened a bar in Shifter Grove alone and gone through tragedy he puts an ad on sassy date. Dahlia is living in the city and bringing her son Marcus up on her own after losing her shifter husband 5 years previous but she is struggling. Marcus is an angry 12 year old that seems to keep getting expelled from schools and doesn't care anymore so when his mum sees the ad she just acts and answers it. this is a great romance with added bonus of some great characters and a great read.
my first book of 2016 and this was a ARC but i read it from my Kindle Unlimited trying to catch up on my books anyways wow what do you do when your fated mate dies or what happens when your mate dies and you have a child to raise but they are a hand full . and what do you do when you answer a ad and decide to see if there could be more . is it fate or something else . and being that your mate was a shifter then why has my child not became shifter what is stopping them from changing find this and much more when you buy , read and review and stay tuned for more from this series .
An ARC was given to me for an honest review. Marcus has gotten expelled from another school and she's lost another job. She sees this humorous post on Sassy Dates from a mountain lion and she actually responds to it . Since there is nothing keeping her in New York, why not go and meet this shifter in Shifters Grove. Their biggest problem is an angry teenager with a serious attitude. This is a fun entertaining hot read. I do love my visits to Shifter Grove. It gives me a chance to see what the other shifters are up to now. Enjoy I did.
This is book 6 in the Shifter Grove Brides series and I think this one is my favorite yet...I reserve the right to like the next one better.... :-). But so far this one has my heart...I loved that this story involved a second chance for both Austin and Dahlia! And it also had my all time favorite shifters.. .mountain lions! This has been a really great series with each story complimenting the previous ones and all the characters connecting. I really loved Austin in this story and would really like to see more about how he connects with his new son in the future.
This is a wonderful story about a second chance at love. Dahlia is a young mother trying to do her best by her son. Marcus has a huge chip on his shoulder due to his dad's death. He is making life miserable for his mom. Dahlia answers a sassy brides ad. Marcus is a were mountain lion cub who can't shift. Austin is looking for a second chance at happiness without his fated mate. Will these two souls hit it off. Will Austin help Marcus realize he can shift and act normal. I loved this story and give it 5 stars.
This was awesome! I loved the theme of second chance and a rebellious young teen boy. After tragedy had taken both Austin and Dahlia's fated mates, they weren't sure if they could find happiness again. Leave it to a fun ad placed on SassyDate to take care of setting the scene. I liked how central Marcus was to this story. One of my favorites. I always enjoy these stories!
I have enjoyed all the shifter mail order brides series thus far, but this story was a okay read. It took me longer to get thru it than others. I still enjoyed it but not as much as the others. Austin and Dahlia story was sweet and I'm glad that Marcus now has that father figure he needed in his life. So this definitely worth reading just not on the same steamy levels as the other books.
Two people who suffered loss of those they loved finding a second chance at LOVE but with challenges from her troubled son to be faced. Even though it's not a really long book, the Shifter Grove Series continues to be continually bringing wonderful characters and their differences to keep you wanting to see what happens next and to whom. So journey through Anya's Shifter Grove Series with me and enjoy!
