Rage

by Summer Cooper

Indulge in this tiger shifter short stories by USA Today Bestselling romance author Summer Cooper. Gray is caught in an uncontrollable transformation, his newfound tiger shifter instincts wreaking havoc on his once-peaceful existence. His body struggles to adapt to the constant shifting, and his mind is clouded with an overwhelming, ever-present rage. Amid this chaotic internal battle, Monica unexpectedly enters his life, igniting a different kind of anger–an unfamiliar emotion–within Gray. However, what Gray initially perceives as irritation is, in fact, a testament to Monica's unique power—she alone possesses the ability to tame his inner beast. In his turbulent journey, Gray comes to realize that he needs Monica not only as a guide in his career but as an anchor in his life. Her presence has become an essential force, the calm amidst the storm that rages within him. But the question Will Monica embrace the true essence of Gray, with all his primal instincts and the untamed fury that now defines him? As their worlds collide, their fates hang in the balance, teetering between acceptance and rejection, love and fear, in a tale of shifter passions and the quest for acceptance in a world that can never truly understand their wild, inner nature. This is an adult only paranormal romance quick read, appealing to readers who love fated mates, sports romance, shifters and sizzling hot romances with a twist. Perfect for fans of Mac Flynn, Gena Showalter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Alisa Woods and J R Ward.

I'm struggling a little with a reading slump at the moment so reading short stories to help me, I have to say some short stories are awful and not well explained with barely any character depth but this one isn't one of them.

The plot although not strong is throughout the story and shows a journey really more than anything in specific, the characters are of enough depth that I care for them but not enough that the descriptions bored me. I did enjoy reading this one not because it was amazing but it was written progressively not every detail was thrown at me immediately.

I liked it good read, easy reading.

Rage is an unusual story that has a twist that will have you take a step back and think.

Gray is a professional fighter, when he is attacked after a fight his world as he knows it changes and not the way he is expecting. Now James can shift into a tiger, as he starts to fight the urge to shift get strong.

Monica is the daughter of one of his trainers, there is a strong pull towards her, but Gray is fighting it. When she finds out his secret, Monica does the last than he expected she stays around.

I love the twist of the end of the story when Gray quits fight and is ready to leave.

This book was a different shifter book that we usually read. It doesn’t concentrate on the actual fact Gray is a shifter but rather how he copes with that reality. The struggle he endures and the feeling of being different, alone and lost. Until Monica. She brings out the reason he needs to be happy. I did enjoy this quick short story. Wasn’t too sure how I felt about Gray but he endeared himself to me. Monica was great. Slight twist at the end I didn’t see coming!! Prefer more steam but good all the same.

Gray is an MMA fighter who feels he is getting to the end of his career, and after an accident he changes in more ways than one. Monica is the daughter for Gray’s trainer, and she is in town to help her father get his gym back on track. There is an instant connection between them. This is a quick read which has intrigue, suspense, danger, drama, and emotions, which leads to a enjoyable page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

Grey was bitten and now everything is changing , his career may be over , his attitude stinks and the girl he's with , he's not attracted to anymore ,but he's fighting what he's going through tooth and nail , but all alone .....Until Monica comes back to town.
I thought this was a good short read .It had an actual storyline , characters that showed emotions , were smart and had chemistry . I just wished that it was longer .I wanted more of Grey and his Tiger shifting Rages .

[Shelly Celli]

The rage this man feels is turning him inside out. He doesn’t understand what is happening, or exactly how to cope with it all. When he meets his trainers daughter, his fighting gets better, but his urges become more frequent. The last shock of the story made the holes open up a little wider, but I still enjoyed the read. I hope the author will write more and divulge what exactly happened to him.

Grey is a MMA fighter and is a shifter. Monica is the daughter of his trainer and has returned home to help her father with some difficult financial problems. The chemistry between Grey and Monica sizzles. Grey was bitten and has a problem controlling his animal. Can a live match happen for these two? Can Monica save her business and be there for Grey as well?
Can I just say, "I love Summer Cooper's books and this is just another example of why.

[Jeanne Richardson]

I've read a lot of books written by Summer Cooper; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

She has written another good short story. The story is about Monica & Gray; he’s a tiger shifter and feels his career is about over; she comes to town to help get the gym back on track.

This is a short story with a shifter with a lot of rage. He is a fighter with a slight problem. He was bit and is now a shifter. His career is close to coming to an end. Monica is brought in to help him. They have a lot to overcome to be together. There is a lot of emotion that is intense with a touch romance. It is a wonderful short story.

This awesome book will immediately pull you in s you try to figure out what is going on with Gray. I sure wasn’t expecting Monica, she knew what she expected and she made sure she followed through. I totally loved the twists and surprises, Gray did have a lot of rage, I loved how he was able to get a handle on it.

[Shelby White]

The story was good overall. Interesting read with a bit of mystery, suspense and betrayal. Not everything is what it seems at this MMA gym. Gray and Monica have nice chemistry. I found it a bit forced at times. Like it was trying to reach of something or tell something but fell short. Still a good read for a short story.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

An entertaining fighter romance that was fast-paced and quick to read. Gray has been in a slump and not winning any fights since his accident. All he knows is that he needs to turn and keep calm. He meets his trainer, Tyler's daughter Monica and she calms him and his inner beast.

[Mary]

This is a good story about Grey and Monica. It is a fairly short and quick read. The story is about an MMA fighter, Grey, who was bitten and now is having anger issues and problems with his shifter side. Monica is in town to help her father some financial issues. Her father is his the trainer. These two are sizzling hot together. I like how their story develops in this paranormal read.

[Bev]

Gray is a tiger shifter after being bitten. He is an MMA fighter who has stopped winning and fighting to control the shift. His trainer brings in Monica, his daughter, to bring Gray back to winning. A very tough woman. A big win. A big struggle. A woman who cares. A father. A coach with a huge secret. A new life. What a great short story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[J]

A short, shifter romance read. This story focus' on main characters Gray and Monica. While short if still reads well. I enjoyed the storyline - and the twist! Good characters - I think the test of a good read is if you want it to continue and this read passed the test! Well done!

I feel like I was left on a cliff hanger with so many questions unanswered. Really wish this was a full length read as it quite captivating and left me wanting to know more, as my why, where, how questions are bothering me.

[Karen]

Found this was interesting enough story
but there was something that would have brought
it up to five stars.
I did notice at the very beginning it was a little slow
but than as I got into it the pace picks up.
All around I found it was an entertaining read.

[Angel Roo]

Story seemed to be trying for a mystery-romance type deal, but didn't quite reach that point.

Also not a full-on shifter romance.

But the story was good, the characters likeable, and the book really had a lot of feels in it.

Would definitely read more by this author.

Rage by author Summer Cooper. This is a fast paced read that is interesting. I don’t know if this is the authors first shifter book- it was a bit out of sync for me- the flow was off a bit. Still interesting and I look forward to other shifter books.
