Beautiful. Deadly. Destined.

A skilled assassin...

Jaguar shifter Catrina Hunter is a Beast Warrior, used by Whitepine Security Services to do its dirty work. She might be good at her job, but she hates it. And she can’t remember anything about her life before WSS.
An assignment to retrieve an AWOL scientist and his research from the small town of Elysia goes spectacularly wrong when Catrina finds herself the prisoner of a big, handsome bear shifter. The forbidden heat that flares between them soon has her questioning her mission…and her sanity.

A hardened warrior...

Rancher Brett Thorfinnson is a former Beast Warrior himself, and he doesn’t believe the gorgeous shifter woman’s claim that she’s escaped from WSS. Something about her story doesn’t add up. What he is certain of is that she’s the sexiest woman he’s ever seen…and his bear insists that this curvy stranger is their fated mate.

A dangerous dilemma

When WSS targets one of Elysia’s human doctors, Brett must determine whether Catrina is part of the problem—or the solution. And if he decides to trust her, will his luscious cat let herself be claimed by a bear?

What happens when a bear shifter and a Jaguar shifter get together?

Kindle unlimited purchase
By Ophelia Sexton
Katrina gave Perry the last 10 years of her life, now she is on a mission that changed her life for the better.
Brett is a bear shifter hiding out in Elysia. When he sees Katrina for the first time he knows something is special about her and he has to make sure he finds out why she is in Elysian.
Brett and Katrina find themselves in the middle of bullets and claws. Can Brett protect Katrina and save her from her past? I enjoy this book just as much as book 1. I like when characters from previous books in series are in the rest of the series, so far that seems to be the case in this series.

Loved it!

Shape shifters of every kind on the run and settling down in a small town hiding out from an organization that wants them dead after their desertion. Catrina was a good soldier and after a hostage situation went wrong and she was horribly wounded and left for dead wakes up in a strange place and finds she has no say about staying and working for the shadow organization. After having her memories wiped she goes on a mission to retrieve a scientist who is hiding out. But, instead she finds her mate. Loved the characters. Very intense and action packed.

There...

There have been some serious changes in Luge Perry's Beast Warriors, and the warriors who went "AWOL" and took up residence in the tiny town of Elysia are about to discover what the changes entail! Great running storyline, threaded together with the other stories and characters. STRONG alpha female, capable of holding her own. Loved it! Ready for the next book. 😉

Brett and Katrina true mates

I like this series. I don't like what the dragons force the other shifters/ people to do. I find that how the mates are found kind of redundant but what can you do. The ending of this story was a very nice surprise. It is worth reading the story. Looking forward to the next adventure.

Another winner!

This was another great book by Ophelia Sexton. She has such a way with her characters that you absolutely love them or they're made to hate! Catrina and Brett have such a chaotic beginning and a loving happy ending. I recommend this series to all who love the shape shifting world.

I'm really getting into the series

I liked the characters and environment of the book, what put it over the top for me was cat & Brett getting to know one another and not just falling into fated mates

Hunter by Bliss Devlin 5 Stars

Great Story, Exciting, Maddening and Well worth the read!!!

Catrina Gonzales, 1st class petty officer, is on a rescue mission with her team. While under attack she makes the only decision she can make to save her team. She sacrifices herself, or does she?
She may be in the human SEAL team but she is also a Jaguar shifter. And when she wakes up in the Whitepine Security Services Clinic she's in for one hell of a surprize. She is declared dead so the world doesn't find out what she is. but she is also offered a job with the Beast Warrior Team but when she turns it down, the dragon shifter Colonel Lugh Perry doesn't take no for an answer. .

10 years later while on a mission she gets caught by the bear shifter hottie Brett. Actually she gets hit by a truck running from Brett. Now she's a prisoner under the his watchful eye . Join them in defending Elysia or die is her only choices. hmm. sounds like a no brainer right? uh nope, not when she is seriously reconsidering what she was supposed to do on her original mission. And what is the pull that Brett has over her?

A great adventure of a story. Mysterious, Dangerous and Intense. Loved it.
Recommend mature readers 18+, strong language and sexual encounters.

I was gifted and Advanced Reader copy of the book through Book Funnel by the author for an honest review.

I have had the opportunity to read Bliss Devlin's work before and was impressed with her work. This book doesn't disappoint. It is a fresh story about duty and betrayal with some hot shifters and intense situations. I absolutely love that Catrina, a jaguar shifter, was a badass Navy Seal until she was critically injured. After which she became one of the elite Beast Warriors for a private security agency (WSS) handling extremely volatile missions. She can't remember why she accepted this position or things that happened from the time she was hurt. She always wanted to help people and the position she was in now was not what she wanted to be doing. Her newest mission was to retrieve a government professor who was supposed to be held by former agents of WSS. When she gets there things are not what she was told. She meets a yummy bear shifter cowboy and learns that she has the chance for a fresh start, with her yummy cowboy doing what she likes to do. All they have to do is make it through a WSS raid against her new family without getting killed. I really must get the first book and get the back story before the next one comes out. I enjoyed this book immensely. I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Catrina is on a rescue team when things went sideways on her. Walking up in the whitepines security services her life was completely changed. Parts of her body had been blown off and it would take her months to heal fully and she had been declared dead. This drugged she meet colonel lugh Perry. Commander of the WSS Beast Warrior mercenary team, he was a dragon shifter and able to control other shifters. He doesn't take her no for an answer.
Now 10 years later still part of his team she is on another mission with no memory of her pass life before comming to WSS and it too goes sideways with being hurt and caught. Best day of her life lol,
This is my first time reading anything by this author and it have got to say she is great. Lots of wonderful storyline, great action and I LOVE the characters and mystery. Truly fantastic.
If you're a shifter fan you have got to give this author a try. I can't wait for the next book.
Book given for an honest review and I honestly loved it.

This is a great second story in the Beast Warriors series. This is Catrina a jaguar shifter, who works for the MSS. Brett is a very old bear shifter and deserter from MSS.
Catrina was recruited by MSS after a serious injury in the Navy Seal's. She is sent to retrieve Dr Donlon and his daughter. All does not go as planned. Will she escape to complete her mission or be caught by the bear? Is the doctor even there? Will she learn the reason she signed onto MSS? Why is she drawn to Brett who she thinks of as the Yummy Cowboy?
I enjoyed this story and highly recommend reading it. I give it 5 stars. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

How can a Jaguar fall in love with a Bear? And what will the children be like? Your imagination boggles...

I liked this story and its idea of 'fated mates' as they are two such opposite species and clearly not ones that would normally get along at all...I also thought it relatively well written with some nice elements in the storyline about just what the US Armed Forces do with shifters. They never come out that well do they?

Enjoyed this book. Ties in well with the furst book, however, you do not need to read the first to understand what is going on. Has a very good story line.
