King's Proposal

by Mina Carter

To clear her debt, she must marry him...

Still in both Logan’s debt and his bed, Zara hatches a plan to free herself of the King’s clutches. She’s no man’s toy and each time they touch, she aches for something more. But her plan backfires when he offers to clear her debt to him on one condition… she agrees to marry him. Apparently it’s good for PR...

But the solitaire is barely on her finger before she’s snatched away. Someone has other plans for Zara, and they don’t include a happily ever after with Logan. Caged and offered as a prize for a fight, more than her own life could be on the line before the night is through...

He should set her free… but he can’t.

Werelions are fiercely possessive and territorial, and none more so than the King of the Ring, Logan Reese. An alpha through and through, he’s staked his claim to curvy, half shifter Zara Hunter, and he’s not letting go. She’s his woman and he’ll fight to the death for her...

But some battles don’t take place in the ring. Some battles are of the heart, an arena Logan is wholly unprepared for. But when the chips are down and his kitten is threatened… he’ll do whatever it takes to get her back. Even if it means something worse than killing...

[DeeReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the next installment with Logan and Zara and it was so worth the wait! Logan proposed but not the right way and Zara discovered that she was really a badass inside and out! Okay, not all spoilers this go round but you have got to read 'King's Proposal' to love both hero, heroine and other characters... Gage his second in-charge and boyhood friend!

[Daria · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you’re pretty much used to getting what you want and you’re big enough to back it up, well why not right? Logan is a werelion, alpha, king all of that wrapped up in a sexy package. Zara is human-ish, hot smexy and has a underline of sassy she walks in swaying hips and CFM pumps and the King of beast is not so ready to give her up, not just yet.

The deal they had making sure Zara was on her back under him, wont last forever. How is Logan going to keep her with him? Zara waking moments and non waking moments center on the sinfully sexy Lion. A lion that at the moment she was servicing to pay off her fathers debt. Yeah that’s all it is paying off a debt...

Oh Logan delivers a proposal, his delivery pretty much stinks*smacks him in the back of the head* but that’s not all that is stinking up the air. Underground fighting with extreme prizes, is bad for the legal business of cage fighting.

Just totally fell hard for this series three hot sassy sexy shorts, just enough of everything character, storyline, heat and personality! Loved it! Enjoy

“Oh for the love of god. I love you, but you’re as thick as two short planks. I wasn’t in danger.”

That quote made me laugh. The longest book so far in the series, it took me one hour to read (timed it). Well, finally Zara's cat makes an entrance to the party. But I was sort of disappointed when she was waiting for Logan to save her. I mean,please you grew up in a fight club setting, but nnnnnooooo cause you're a chic you have to wait for Prince Charming....GTFOH.

I am happy more than anything else that Zara essentially had to save herself and Logan was more of backup and the welcoming committee to their party. Also, fastest love+pregnancy reveal scene ever.

And on to book 4.

SINFULLY DELICIOUS !!!
Title: King's Proposal
Series: Shifter Fight League
Designation: Book Three of Four, NOT a Standalone, Happy For Now
Author: Mina Carter
My Rating: Five Sinfully Sexy Stars*****
All Hail the King! Mina Carter knocked it out of the park - AGAIN - with King's Proposal, the third release in the sinfully sexy Shifter Fight League serial. And yes, I said serial so that means multiple installments but never fear, folks, this installment delivers an exciting happy-for-now for Logan and Zara, and what a story it is! So, if you haven't read Books One and Two, In Debt to the King and King's Property, please stop here. I've been a diehard Mina Carter fan for years and never tire of reading her highly imaginative storylines and addictively sexy prose. I know before I ever start the book, I'm guaranteed a mind-blowing read. Carter never fails to deliver a well-crafted, fast-paced, delightfully entertaining story filled to the brim with heated attraction, fiery passion, steamy sex, dreamy romance and swoon-worthy characters. And King's Proposal is no exception. I've never found another author who could pack so much wickedly delicious goodness into one sexy short. I love it! So, sit back, buckle up and get ready for another wild ride!

Zara Hunter may not be a lion shifter like her brother Kylan but of the two, she was way more dangerous, especially when she's mad and she's pretty darn angry. Maybe it was a good thing the shifter gene had skipped right over her. Dear old dad, owner of the The Scarlet Moon Fight Club, has left the building....as in run off with his main squeeze who just happened to be his secretary and left Zara and Kylan holding the bag....an empty bag! Now, they have no way to pay the protection money owed to Logan Reese, lion shifter and reigning champion of the Shifter Fight League, who just happens to be King of the Ring. Oh no! Unfortunately, it looks like it's up to her to find a way to square her father's debt. How the heck is she supposed to do that when daddy dearest left with a lot more than just his secretary - he also absconded with all the money...as in every single cent! Oh my! What's a girl to do??? Well, she could start by offering him a repayment schedule. Fortunately, Zara and Logan were able to come (pun intended) to a mutually agreeable arrangement with her body used as the currency to pay the installments and satisfy the debt! Oh my! Sounds like a mutually satisfying deal for both Zara and the handsome, hot lion shifter cage fighter. But there's just one little wrinkle.....she's fallen in love with the sexy King of the Ring and wants to be more than just his shiney new toy warming his bed. Zara hatches a plan to free her and her brother from the debt and admittedly, it's a sound trade. Oh, there's also the fact she loses the ability to think straight when she's near him. Heck, she can't even manage to string two thoughts together when he touches her much less present an intelligent business proposition. She could never tell him how she really feels. Surely, he couldn't feel the same way about her, could he?

Alpha Lion Shifter and reigning King of the Ring always gets what he wants even if he has to take it, and now that he's had a taste of beautiful, sexy Zara Hunter, he wants more, much, much more. He has no intention of ever letting her go. His little kitten is more cat than she realizes. If she isn't an alpha lioness under the human disguise she insists on projecting, then he'd eat his freakin' hat. And now, she belongs to him, every single luscious inch of her. She's his property.....she just doesn't know it yet.... but she will! Apparently, his lion is in complete agreement and that's a first. His lion has never reacted so possessively to any of his former bed partners. He has to shut his lion down. He's not ready for a mate and cubs, is he? Good grief! Now he can't get the image of her having his cubs out of his mind. Logan suddenly realizes it's no longer about the money, debt or repayment. It's so much more! But if Logan wants Zara Hunter in his life forever, he'll have to win her heart as well as her trust and that may present a challenge he can't win. I guess it's a good thing Logan Reese never loses and with Zara as the prize, he's willing to do anything, including hatching a plan of his own.....marry him and he'll clear her debt, not because he loves her but strictly for the benefit of public relations and his image, of course, which is all he's willing to admit to Zara. Unfortunately, Logan is not the only one who wants Zara. Surprisingly, someone else has his eye on Logan's prize! Oh no! If Logan truly wants Zara, he may have to save her first, that is, if she doesn't save herself first! Apparently, his kitten has claws after all! Lawd, have mercy!

Beautiful club owner's daughter trying to save her club-check! Handsome, hunky, no-nonsense alpha lion shifter and reigning champion of the Shifter Fight League-check! Heated attraction, raw passion and dreamy sex-check! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

[Girl Reading Books Too · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the final installment in the Shifter Fight League series and we see the conclusion to King and Zara's "arrangement". King's Proposal is a satisfying wrap up of a very enjoyable series.

I have liked both King and Zara right from the start of the series, however, here, I was a little disappointed in Zara and how she viewed herself and her worth to King. To be fair, King has never given any indication of how he felt towards her so it's understandable for her to be uncertain.

King, on the other hand, came up to snuff very quickly and managed to work his mind and his heart around how he felt about Zara. I liked he owned up to his own fears and not wanting to take a risk, and trying to protect himself. Okay, he called himself a coward but the fact that he realised it and dealt with him meant he really wasn't that much of a coward or for very long. :-)

The blurb does a very good job of giving you and indication of what is going to happen in this story. A friend of mine who doesn't like reading blurbs might say this one was rather spoilery. The blurb gives the reader a lot of information but I liked discovering how the events played out.

In the circumstances Zara found herself in (sans King) while she was helpless, she was also a fighter and very brave. She didn't give up, not on herself and she fought while waiting for King. She did not cower in defeat. I love a kick ass heroine like that.

As for King, he really showed us what having the title "King of the Ring" meant and man, he was magnificent. We get glimpses of it in the previous two stories, but in this one, he really shines through. And finally, when he had to mete out retribution and justice, he did it in an unexpected yet fitting way.

I've enjoyed this series very much. These are short quick reads, but Ms Carter manages to make them very satisfying reads despite their length. I look forward to what Ms Carter has to offer next.

This is the conclusion of Zara and Logan's story. So no cliffhanger! These 2 are having some issues emotional wise. They are getting deeper in it. They still haven't done it in a bed ha. Zara however, has come up with a financial plan to have an end date because its getting harder for her to keep her emotions in control. I mean we know they are in love with each other but they aren't having it yet. Once Logan gets wind of her "plan" he sorta panics. Then comes up with a plan of his own...wipe her debt if she marries him. I think at first she is surprised until he opens his dumb mouth and says its a PR stunt. Wow...you dumbass! So initially she isn't happy. Then he says this one line. It kinda pisses me off cause considering everything I sorta cant believe he said it. We dont really get Zara's reaction. She just accepts the proposal. Its when he gets all flustered and says "You might say no? So, instead of my wife you'd rather be my W?" Line went something like that. I'm like whoa really? Yeesh. Before anything else happens he gets called away and she goes home with the ring on her finger but gets kidnapped. Some betrayal goes on big time. She's put in a cage where she is the prize. Can Logan get to her in time? Or will this lioness save her own ass? Will they get it together enough to admit how they both feel? Eh...you gotta read it. :)

One big downer. There were editing mistakes and honestly her books normally dont have any errors! I wonder what happened!

[Carlise · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yeah, loved it. Will there be more?

Loved this 3rd installment of "The King's..." Logan and Zara have an awesome connection..sure he has no idea why he can't stay away from her and of course she has noooooooo idea why her panties keep falling off when he comes near her. Could it be, that they're mates...nooooooo, let's not think that's the issue. These two are hotter than hot, but have no clue that they're in love..at least not until a blast from the past shows up and a friend turns out to be an asshole..when the t all comes to a head, they realize they're in love and they get a bonus. My only issue is "what happened with the blast from the past?" Will there be another book for these two..boy I hope so.

[Rose Lintz · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much YES!

This is the third and final installment to this mini series and it ended in a bang. You are following where we were left off from Sara getting the proposal. Now this book doesn't have as much sexy scenes as before but you get to go on a wild ride as Sara figures out her emotions as well as her King. A few unexpected things arise that make Zara finally come to terms that she will be the one rescuing herself and not someone else.

This mini series is a must read and quick yet fully rounded in the way it is written. Congrats Mina Carter, you've done it again on transporting the reader into a fantasy world they would love to be apart of!

[Debs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mina knocked it out of the ring again with "King's Proposal". Never mess with a mad and determined alpha shifter, and Logan is one sexy alpha werelion when it comes to protecting what is his. Zara is his! I loved that Zara was able to hold her own in this short action packed read. The last installment of the Shifter Fight League, "King's Proposal" is a satisfying conclusion for all us romantic shifter readers. I would love to see it all played out in one hot and sexy book, but wow just pick them up and read them all. Thank you to the author as I received "King's Proposal" as a gift...Recommend! 4 Stars

[Julia Handley · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! This is so frustratingly good. These two just need to tell each other how they really feel. They need some sense knocked into them. Well Zara getting kidnapped and used as a prize definately makes them both realise they need to tell the other how they feel. I was so proud of Zara, she is a fighter and she keeps fighting no matter what. I really want to see her dad getting what her deserves after this. Why?? Will we get the satisfaction of Logan seeing to him? I really really hope so.

[Michelle B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zara and Logan

I chose this rating because I wish it was much longer, the story would have been an awesome longer read. However, being that it was a short book, it was nice and full of intensity throughout the book. It had an a sizzling sex scene with fighting, kidnapping and finally love. One couldn't ask for anything less for a short read. Definitely, would recommend the series, it was good, a bit exploitive but good none the less.

[Pamela Gramlisch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really Good

Getting through this book it seems like more different characters were available maybe in other books . There was talk of different types of animals that she was thinking about while she was in a cage . I really like reading this story and I thought it was really good I thought there'd be another book, but I didn't see that she had another book from it now. I wanted to see where this story would go.

[zoegrl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great ending!

If you haven't yet, go back & read the first two books. You'd be cheating yourself of the story otherwise.

I love Mina's writing! I've read about everything she's written & loved every bit. She takes shifter couples & puts them in positions where they have to fight for their love. From the Master of the City to the King.

As usual, I'm greedy & want more, LOL, but I loved Logan & Zara's story.

Enjoy!!

ARC received for a honest review.

If you're a fan of Mina Carter or enjoyed the first two books in the trilogy you're going to love this book. It contains all the essentials sexy love scenes, romance, adventure, humor and kick ass characters. I don't think I could have imagined a better ending to the trilogy.

HOT. What a great series. Logan and Zara are fabulous together. Logan almost loses Zara. He needs to man up and save her then let her know his feelings are (OH the Horror for him LOL). Nice twist and turns in this book. More??? Can't wait. Would love to read about her brother Kylan and if they find/catch their dad.

She goes to see him and is side tracked. At the next meeting Reese has a new proposal. Marry him to pay off all the debt. Will she or will something stop her. Read the book.

Great ending to the series

This is an awesome ending and final segment to the book. Lots of action in this book in a few forms. I would have loved an epilogue of how things got cleaned up but it wasn't necessary just a I wish for this book to have a HEA. Well written and very entertaining to read.

[Goddess of Chaos · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zara and Logan are a fun match to watch.

This quick, fun read is the kind of reason I joined Kindle Unlimited. An enjoyable installment in the tale of two characters who met when a debt had to be settled... and had no idea how to talk about what really matters, so they hide behind easy lines... almost until it is too late.

Lions married?

The third installment in the series and is as good as the first. The king decides to have a wife but goes about it awkward in the beginning. For a short story this is a fun read that will take up a couple hours.

I've been enjoying this serial and I liked how this book ended things.

***Edit***

I re-read this since I purchased all 5 in the series, and I'm still enjoying this book. Can't wait to see what happens next for these two.

This was a good ending to King and Zara's story. It became a true relationship in this part. I'm a bit peeved that the story was in three parts when it could have easily been one and still would have only been about 120 pages. Needed an epilogue too.

[Christine Waters · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series just keeps getting better. This story was interesting and kept me enthralled from start to finish. I couldn’t put it down. The author sure knows how to tell a story. I cannot wait to read the next one in this series.
