This was an ok story. I am used to seeing a good deal more shifter action in a book that involves shifters. It has a sweet HEA however and the jerk gets what is coming to him.

Tiger pawed is book one in the shifter heat series. This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. The writing style is easy to follow, the characters are likeable and the storyline is a nice, easy read. I read this book in one sitting and liked it. I liked Karen, she was determined to get healthy and when she met mick, her trainer, she was instantly attracted.
The chemistry between Mick & Karen was clear to see, I just wish that there were more scenes of them together in a relationship. I wanted a bit more story.
I really disliked Guy Stone, he was an arrogant idiot. I was happy that Karen was able to protect herself. I loved when Mick shown his tiger to Guy and that Guy was scared.
I liked the entire story but the last few chapters and the ending was my favourite. I liked that Karen and Mick got their happily ever after. I liked that Karen encouraged Mick to achieve his dream. A dream and career move he didn’t think on taking until Karen suggested it.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.

This was just okay.
Fun but nothing special as a fair bit of the story was sex.
Didn’t get a shifter meeting his mate vibe as Mick didn’t pursue Karen but he did shift once to scare the douche bag.
Did enjoy the fact Karen was able to defend herself thanks to Mick’s training. Would have liked Adam to be put in his place too.

I wonder how he didn't realize she was his mate from the first touch and their connection was off the chain. I knew Guy was going to come at Karen again and she should have put her boss in his place a long time ago.

Okay for what it is - 2½ stars
This is okay for a quick hot spell. There's no character development or world-building, and the "sexy-times" dialog is stilted and cheesy.

I have read some of Kate Kent's books and I find that she is a good author when it comes to writing about paranormal romance. I gave it 4 stars because I felt that the character's especially Mick needed more of an background on him. Otherwise I liked it just fine and found it to be a good and interesting read. It is recommended by me.
Karen had decided it is time to get rid of all the Holiday eating she did while visiting her parents, so she joins a gym with personal trainers.
She wants to tone up and make her booty bigger because she thinks it is too flat. So she signs up for LA's hottest gym that has 7 Days Fitness. She did not sign up to meet a boyfriend. Her jerk of a boss kept her too busy to have any kind of life. She has to work his schedule and be on time for him. Her new personal trainer, Mick is not only gorgeous, but Karen feels a strong connection to him and just can’t get out of her head. She can not believe the connection that they have after only just meeting and locking eyes on each other. What will happen when her favorite movie star crush asks her out on a date? Will she stay true to Mick or will she take the movie star?

Karen never thought signing up at the gym would be so much fun!
Karen went to the gym to workout some and get into shape after a very scrumptious holiday at her parents, what she didn't count on was a personal trainer that was even more yummy than her holiday meals.
When Mick meets his next appointment at the gym, he can't even give her a proper tour of the facilities with out his tiger growling.
What ensues is a series of workouts that would have anyone losing weight. I'll sign up at that gym!

Karen is seeking a personal trainer to help her tone up. She visits her local gym and is stunned to see that Mick has been assigned to help her. After their first session, she is taken back because he puts her with a female trainer. She makes him explain and when he does she doesn't know what to do. He likes her and he is trying to hold back.
After a series of dates, they both realize that they are perfect for each other.
This is a great book. Well written with a lovable storyline.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. This is a stand alone book with a HEA. Karen is a big girl who loves her curves but wants to firm up her butt and drop a few pounds from the holidays. So you do what every girl does, she joins a gym and hires a personal trainer. Mick is the awesome personal trainer she gets and wants to keep. I recommend this to all shifter lovers. Looking forward for more of these stories.

Karen is a curvey girl with a sucky job! So she heads to a gym to tone up some problem areas. When she's assigned to Mick she thinks it's awesome but the next week she's assigned to someone new. :( Karen is not happy with this so she confronts him and then they end up going on a date.
What happens next? Do things get better or worse??

Very good read. It was fast paced and fun. Karen meets Mick at the gym as her personal trainer. When she comes back the next time Mick has changed her to a female trainer and she wants to know why. Mick asks her out. There is a slight bit of drama with Guy Stone who is an actor and doesn't take no for an answer.

This was good but different. He didn't shift much so I was expecting more of that but I enjoyed it. I am glad that the heroine was strong and learned to defend herself instead of expecting others to take care of her. It was a very good story and I'm glad I got to review it
February 8, 2016
While I enjoyed reading this story. I was expecting to see a little bit more shifter action for Mick being a shifter he didn't shift until the end. I would have liked a little bit more backstory on both characters. Overall a good read.

Karen Carted went to the gym to get a toned body but she found a sexy mate in Mick and Mick sure was hot for Karen's' curves. Talk about HOT this is it. I love the authors way of writing her books.

A truly good story but it had the potential to be so much more. The author did a really good job but it just has the potential to be better
