Mystic Mountain #3
Locke
Home is where the heart is… She was his heart and he’d never let her go.
They say it’s the little things that make a house a home, but for Locke Ascher it was one single thing. His first breath of air in Mystic. It wasn’t just the fresh air of the quiet mountain town. It was the scent of shifters in the air. His whole life had been spent in a town composed solely of Lion shifters and that’s how it was going to stay. But, Locke wanted more. Moving to Mystic was just the start of his new life.
Katherine Lincoln was on her first grand adventure. She knew that moving to Mystic was going to be an eye-opening experience, but the man who came to give her the keys to her new shop was drop dead gorgeous. So what if he could turn furry with fangs and his roar shook the windows, he says he belongs to her and she belongs to him. Heaven help her, but she’s willing to buy into the fantasy. Why not? What could she lose?
Well, when you’re ‘all in’ with something, you suddenly have everything to lose. And Locke’s past comes knocking on his door and threatens everything they’ve found together. What steps are they willing to take to get what they both want? A happy ever after.

'Maybe we should get...personal'
I LOVE mystic!
It is sooooo good to see Locke finally find his mate and I cannot tell you how impressed I am at his restraint in not marking her immediately...who knew Locke could be a gent aswell as a Lion?
Has Katherine finally found somewhere to call home? Or is that someone to call home? Someone to accept her, no judgements, no expectations?
Can Locke and Katherine survive threats from the past or will they be torn apart and their future lost?
A great series, I am looking forward to more books.

Oh yeah! Locke has finally found his mate and she's adorable. Absolutely loved their meet cute. It was hot and sexy from the get go. And then Locke showed us his patient and caring side and how could Katherine resist? Loved this paranormal romance with it's shifters and magic and danger. Great book to end my year with.

Locke and Katherine
I love this story! Katherine and Locke meet unexpectedly, and what a meeting it was. They are inexplicably drawn to each other. Locke feels a connection from the first minute of their meeting. Katherine has always been made to feel "less than" by people in her past. She is hesitant to ask for what she wants and needs. Locke is determined to prove to her that she is everything he knew he needed. Everything is going great until an unexpected visit throws things into an uproar. Locke and Katherine are going to do whatever it takes to get the HEA they deserve...in spite of what others may think. Get this book and watch their story unfold. You won't regret it. Sorry, no spoilers.

Locke is the quintessential lone wolf—grumpy, standoffish, and content with his isolation in the small town of Mystic Mountain. Enter Katherine, a lively new arrival with a passion for fashion, opening her own boutique and shaking up Locke’s carefully guarded world. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the opposites-attract trope is fun to watch unfold in this final installment of the Mystic Mountain series.
While the shifter romance aspect delivers its charm, the writing felt just passable. Unfortunately, the rushed ending left much to be desired. The unresolved plot points and lack of closure for key characters made me wonder if the story is set up for a sequel, though I’m not entirely sure. Either way, I won’t be in a hurry to pick up more of this author’s work anytime soon.

Wow! Talk about love at first sight! Locke just knew from the moment he set eyes on Katherine that she was the one for him. Add in a healthy dose of passion and testosterone and you have the makings of a great alpha male who wants to care for his woman/ mate. But of course there must always be a fly in the ointment, so enter evil mother. Don’t you just hate those. The ones who have no right to have kids because they only damage them.
Will she get her way, or will Locke send her packing?
Will his heart find a home?
Great series and wonderful 3dr book.

This story was just wow to read, i loved both the characters, but it seems that Katherines family is more suited to Locke than either of them thought.
A thoughly entertaining story to say the least. I just love these men of Mystic Mountain, and now it seems its Lockes turn, but despite the attraction straight away for these two wonderful souls, its not each other they have to worry about, as it turns out it turns out to be something more voilent.
A must read especially if you have read any of the other books in this series, the people in this town are wonderful!!!

Locke moved to Mystic to get away from his controlling mother. He left everything behind but when he got to Mystic he found the place where he belonged. Katherine moves to Mystic because her friend True asked her to open a shop there. From the moment these two meet they have an instant connection and everything was going great until his mother shows up. I loved how protective Locke was over Kat and how he knew nothing and no one would come between the fated mates. This is a shifter romance filled with great characters, family drama, danger, fated mates, love, and a perfect ending.

Locke left everyone behind to start a new life in Mystic Mountain. Katherine follows her best friend to Mystic Mountain so she can open her own shop. Locke and Katherine meet and the sparks fly, they are meant to be together. When Locke's mother shows up looking for him everything he cares about is put in harms way. Will he be able to protect those he loves and still be able to not fall under his mother's control? I loved this story, great characters, wonderful story with so much love and caring. Another great story by Reina Torres.

Finally a family
This book is an amazing addition to the Mystic Mountain series. I really enjoyed these characters. They both had their hang ups, but they just kept growing stronger together. I love that we got to see so many of the characters from both Mystic and Sylvan City. The author really drew me in with this story and I loved the surprise reveal at the end. This author really does PNR right, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Locke and Kat❤❤❤❤❤
REVIEWED FROM A BORROWED KINDLE UNLIMITED E-BOOK...When a heart speaks a lion listens and Locke knew his mate was Kat but secrets, bullies and an evil mother had other ideas. Can Locke save Kat from this evil and make her his? Filled with all of the feels of a great paranormal romance. Loved it!!

LOVE AND MAGIC
Life with a shifter can be wondrous and magical, especially between of fated mates. Insecurities need to be/are dealt with, allowing the full measure of love to grow.
Locke is sizzling romance that opens the H and h to the wonders of real connection. A very enjoyable read, an excellent addition to the Mystic Mountain series. Definitely recommend.

Another short, sexy, fun read from Ms Torres! This is a fun series to read, I love seeing the characters grow and evolve. The only complaint I have is that I'd love the characters to be more developed. I wanted to know more of Katy's background and why her self esteem was so low. I can definitely see myself rereading this series.

A great book
I've never been a fan of shifter stories, but this book and series are so well written that they draw you in until you don't want to put them down. It's a story of love, friendship and a town that shows loyalty and heals the hurt that others have created. I definitely recommend this book.

Omg thank you Reina for giving Locke a story he deserves of love and happiness and not living in the darkness anymore. Locke was shocked when Trues friend shows Katherine but what he didn't expect was to fund his mate but can he keep her alive or will his long lost mother kill her? This book was absolutely fantastic and it made my heart melt and not gonna lie cry at the end.

Loved the way this story played out. Locke is more than expected with his gentle romantic side. Katherine is adorable and his perfect match of course. Started out with a bang and kept my attention. Love the town of Mystic. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review

Locke ended up in Mystic mainly because he had to leave his pride and get away from his controlling and evil mother. When Kat shows up, true's friend, he knows he found his mate. But when his past shows up and threatens his mate, that he can't allow. Plus the bad news his mother brings. HEA.

Locke meets Katherine his mate through True. Locke and Katherine fall for each other like a rock in a water. And there is a connection too. Kat also meets his evil momma and they learn he has a niece and his sibling with wife is dead

Romantic
A wonderfully romantic shifter romance. Lighthearted with just a touch of suspense thrown in. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it. My favorite quote from the book is, “ let me hold you together so you don’t have to do it on your own.”

I've been waiting to see what fate had in store for Locke. Katherine is a perfect kitten for the sometimes grumpy lion. I thoroughly enjoyed the third installment in Reina Torres' Mystic Mountain series.

Great addition to the Mystic series. What happens when you find an instant connection to someone? Read this book and find out. Whenever I am down, Reina's books make me feel better and give me hope. Live this book!

The book leaves a lot of questions. I have read several books by Twins Torres and none have been as choppy as this one. It is as if I had a bad down loaded copy with sections missing.

Locke is destined to meet Katherine thanks to True. Their first meeting is interesting to say the least. From that point on they are it for each other.

Locke's turn
Locke is a lion shifter. Katherine is True's friend and has just moved to Mystic Mountain.
When Katherine goes looking for Locke to get the keys for her shop, there is an instant attraction. The only problem is is that Katherine has always been told bad things about herself and is very leery that he really likes her.
Locke has just found out his mother is here and when he gets to Katherine's shop, he is ready to kill. His mate comes first though.
Will Katherine finally accept that she is Locke's mate? Will they find out what his mother is doing there?
