U.S. Marshal Shifters #4
The Griffin Marshal's Heart
He was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. His fated mate? The gorgeous U.S. Marshal transporting him ...
Once, Cooper was a U.S. Marshal with a distinguished career. Now he's a prisoner, accused of murder, with his inner griffin suppressed and maybe even dead. He's being transported across the country in leg chains. This isn't how he planned on meeting the woman of his dreams.
Gretchen is used to not fitting in. She's a quirk of nature: the one human in a family of lynx shifters. Now she's a U.S. Marshal who shares an office with a dragon, a pegasus, and a wolf. This is just one more prisoner transport, right?
... wrong.
By law, he's her prisoner. By fate, he's her partner … and so much more.
Being moved to another prison gives Cooper the perfect chance to escape. But it could cost Gretchen her career, and leave her to deal alone with the supernatural killers on their heels and the winter blizzard roaring down on them. Gretchen is beautiful, funny, and tough as nails—she could even be enough to bring his griffin back to life. And he can't protect her in chains.
All the rules say nothing can happen between them.
But Cooper's done following the rules. Some things are more important. Like Gretchen's life. And no one ever said true love was easy ....

Really Good Story
A griffin marshal was found guilty of murder six months ago and sent to prison where even in protective custody he has been brutally stabbed. A human marshal and her rookie partner are sent to transfer him to another prison. She comes to believe he may not be guilty due to the things going wrong in the transfer. She comes upon something that messed with her mind leaving her confused after talking to someone she thought might be following them right after the pick up. Other attempts are made leaving her partner in the hospital before she can get help but they also find help from the most unlikely places. They run out of gas in the middle of no where trying to keep warm after car damage in the middle of a blizzard. When it is almost to late to save them he tries again to find his griffin that he has not been able to find while he has been in prison but fear for his unclaimed mate finally lets him shift. He finds shelter in an old motel when the blizzard makes flying impossible and she is so cold he doesn't know if she will live. This has a lot of different things going on while you figure out what really happened to him. If he is innocent who really killed his partner? Who paid to have someone in prison try to kill him? Why did they need to kill him after getting him found guilty and sent to prison? Can they survive long enough to find out? This is an interesting story with lots of twist and turns.

The couple: Cooper and Gretchen
Romance trope: shifter
Series: U.S. Marshal Shifters
Length: 219 pages
Plot: Cooper used to be a great U.S. Marshal, until he was accused and convicted of murder, among other things. Now he (and his Griffin) are stuck in prison for the rest of his life. That is until one day someone tries to kill him and he has to be transported to another prison. Gretchen is the marshal assigned to take him to his new prison and she's not sure that he's guilty. Through a series of bad encounters, Cooper and Gretchen must protect themselves and each other while also solving the mystery of who would send Cooper to jail on purpose and why.
Commentary: While I was unclear on how and why Gretchen became a marshal, she seemed to love it and it gave her the purpose her family couldn't or wouldn't. I loved her and Cooper together. He treated her as an equal and she gave him the trust that nobody else had yet.

Against All Odds!!!
Cooper Dawes, a former U.S. Marshal with a remarkable career. He was now a prisoner, accused of a murder he didn't commit. His inner Griffin wasn't talking to him anymore, he could be dead for all he knows. He didn't expect to find his mate, not while in handcuffs that's for sure. But as always, things weren't going to be easy for him.
Gretchen Rose Miller, a human who came from a family of Lynx shifters. She was also a U.S. Marshal who shared her working space with three shiffers, a Dragon named Teo ( THE DRAGON MARSHAL'S TREASURE ), a Wolf named Colby ( THE WOLF MARSHAL'S PACK ) and their boss, Martin ( THE PEGASUS MARSHAL'S MATE ). She loved working with them.
She was assigned to transport a prisoner to another facility after he was stabbed by another inmate, it was a suppose to be a simple job. But things didn't go as she thought, the prisoner turned out to be someone her boss knew. Martin wanted to be sure if the man he knew could have lied to him. What was a woman to do?!
Cooper saw a chance at escaping but it could cost the woman he came to care about, her career. He didn't want that nor he wasn't willing to let her deal with some killers who were out to kill him. If that wasn't enough, there was a snow storm heading their way. Gretchen trusted him, she believed him when he said he didn't commit the crimes they accused him of.
Together they decided to solve the case. As they worked together they shared more of themselves with each other than they've ever had with anybody else before. There was no denying the attraction they both felt for or another. Turned out that Gretchen's inner animal was dormant, it just needed the bite of her one true mate to awaken. Same as Cooper's Cooper's Griffin.
It was a treat to see Theo's cousin Isabelle again, she's grown so much. I would love for her to get her own story. Together Gretch and Coop got the culprits and much more, they found HOME and FAMILY.
THE GRIFFIN MARSHAL'S HEART is the fourth book in Zoe Chant's U.S MARSHAL SHIFTERS series. It was alluring, fast-paced and interesting. Another amazing job by Zoe Chant! 5++++

This is a good shifter romance, with a likable couple, but it was too short to have as much character development as I like. I would have liked more backstory on both Gretchen and Cooper, but especially on Cooper. It gets 3.5 stars from me, rounded up to 4 stars.
Gretchen and Cooper were both likable, and were really good together. Cooper was falsely accused/convicted of murder, and Gretchen was the US Marshall assigned the task of moving him from one prison to another. Since Cooper was also a US Marshall before he was convicted, they had a lot in common.
Cooper had a terrible last few months -- with the false accusations, the trial, the conviction, and then prison. But he was still a good guy. He had also always been a bit of a loner, with no real friends/family he could count on. Gretchen had always felt like something was missing in her life, since she was the only one in her family that wasn't a shifter. She and Cooper understood each other, and both were willing to sacrifice to make the other one happy. They really made a great couple.
One problem I have with all of Zoe Chant's series is that there is so long between books. Lots of times I have to go back and reread some of the earlier books in a series, simply because it has been so long that I don't remember all the characters. That is frustrating. I know Zoe Chant is actually a group of authors, and one person writes all the books in a series -- but I wish the books in a series could be published closer together.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

The Griffin Marshal’s Heart in the fourth book in Zoe Chant’s U.S. Marshal Shifter Series. It is a suspenseful, action packed paranormal romance filled with great characters and a fantastic storyline. Like many of Chant’s books, the characters must learn to trust their instincts and each other in order to find their happily ever after.
Imprisoned for a murder and crimes he didn’t commit, former U. S. Marshal and griffin shifter Cooper Dawes was not expecting to meet his mate while being transported to another prison. Nor was he expecting U. S. Marshal Gretchen Miller to risk everything to help him after attempts are made on his life. Gretchen has always felt like she didn’t belong and that something was missing, but when she met Cooper all the pieces fell into place. Now she just has to keep them alive long enough to prove his innocence.
I enjoyed the intense but sweet chemistry between Cooper and Gretchen. They both clearly have strong moral codes and a driving need to protect others. I love that both feel broken but they trust one another to help them become whole. This is a great addition to this series. It can be read as a standalone, but a great appreciate can be achieved when read in order as previous characters and storylines are mentioned. I love reading this series and can’t wait to read more.

Cooper and Gretchen - the perfect ending to the series
I loved all the books in this series and Cooper and Gretchen’s story is perfection. The story has a bit of mystery and light danger mixed in with all the swoony love. Gretchen is a US Marshall. She is also the human child of lynx shifters. Cooper was a US Marshall until he was wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned. He is also a griffin shifter who seems to have lost his shifter form. After Cooper is stabbed in prison, Gretchen is tasked with transporting him to a new prison. But nothing goes as expected and soon the trip takes on different goal. The book is fairly low angst and has a little bit of everything - sweet moments, a bit of steam, a small amount of dangerous action, strong friendships, fated mates, shifter magic, and painful pasts. Experiencing the journey of Cooper and Gretchen as they fall in love, try to stay ahead of the bad guys, and work through their individual issues to get to their HEA gave me all the feels - you will definitely laugh, tear up, swoon, and happy sigh. All of the shifters Zoe Chant creates are loyal, upstanding, loving, all around good people who generally want to make the world a better place and Cooper and Gretchen are no different. I am sad to see the series end though.

Gretchen and Cooper's Custodial Love Tryst! 4.5***** Spoiler Alert...
Gretchen Miller, shifter federal marshal/ only human from a family of lynx shifters, transferred a stabbed convicted fellow marshal ,Cooper Cases, to a new prison during a winter storm. During the transfer, her partner and fellow unicorn shifter, Keith, learnt about compassion to others, and treating others decently; while Gretchen and Cooper, realised they are fated mates, and his old group of shifter marshals were corrupted and set him up for Phil's murder. Phil, a dragon was alive and well to be flown back to clear Cooper. Yes, Gretchen's falcon- lynx/ a griffin like Cooper, finally emerged to save Cooper from Keith and Monroe, the basilisk. Another HEA!
Great plot and character development, with a theme of trusting ones inner voice and oneself. The concept of being bitten to acquire multiple inner animal forms was introduced, like a vampire's bite...interesting, much like Whitney's DNA splicing Super soldiers project. A Must-Read!!

Good Guy, Bad Guy
Framed for murder disgraced US Marshal Cooper Hawkes longs for freedom and the chance to spread his wings again. It has been so long since he has sensed the other side of his soul that he fears that his Griffin has died.
After he is seriously injured in a prison brawl a transfer is arranged. In a twist of fate he has an instant unwelcome connection to one of the US Marshals assigned to transport him. How can he escape to find the truth when everything inside him wants to stay with Gretchen.
With his Griffin silent and killers on his trail how can Coop hope to keep his possible mate alive and prove his innocence. How? With a little help from her friends.
I thoroughly enjoyed Zoe's fantastic action packed story of good vs evil which even has a twist at the end I admit I didn't see coming. Recommended to all fans of good paranormal romance.

Loved it!!
Awesome couldn't have happen to a better person, loved how things worked out for Cooper. He had a world wind of a time, from being in prison, almost got killed to being on the run from people who wants him dead, and finding his fated mate In Marshall Gretchen Miller that was transporting him to another prison. I really believe that was a setup to kill him while on the road, but that failed big time. And I just love how Chief Martin is good at judging people, and how he rallied around to get things right when they finally found the men who really were responsible for framing Cooper. Now all is well and they ended up where they started at a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere...loved it big fan as always Winzie19☺💞...can't wait to read Keith story.

Loved both Gretchen and Cooper.
They meshed so well and we’re the perfect balance for the other.
Great gripping plot but I did roll my eyes a few times at things that seemed too obvious.
Found it a bit unbelievable that all these trained professionals who are supposed to think outside the box, didn’t think the evidence against Cooper was too pat. Everything was basically laid out to show he had done it.
Glad Keith learnt a life lesson but how did he get a U.S. marshals job with no background training at all.
I am so tired of having a PC couple (the sister Tricia and Bonnie) just rammed into a book so the author can show how modern they are.

The story is very timely for our nation. A shifter wrongfully convicted, in part because of his trust for people in a system that was unmerited. A determined, dedicated Marshal unaware of her shifting ability, team up in a story that challenges the corruption in the justice system while the main characters become stronger, together. Some of Zoe Chant’s fantasy stories have male leads that are rich, hot looking, etc, and the woman they pick is not, so much... in this case the Marshal who he connects with is stronger and more confident of herself, ultimately showing that both “mates” change and become newer stronger people through the partnership. It’s a delightful new book!

A great paranormal romance mystery
Well I truly loved this story. It contains romance, a great mystery and faith.
Gretchen is a US Marshall who is transporting a prisoner. She is a human born into a lynx shifter family. She has a voice in her head, which she tries hard to ignore.
Cooper Dawes is a prisoner a griffin shifter and framed. He is attacked in prison. He fears he has lost his griffin.
Will Gretchen be able to help solve the mystery and learn if she is really a shifter. Has Cooper lost his griffin for good and will he be proven innocent? I encourage you to read this story it is hard to put down.

Marshall Gretchen Miller’s the only human in her long line of felines and the only one in her office but her boss trusted her instincts and asked her to drive former marshal Cooper Dawes’ transport, since something didn’t feel right. Cooper had been convicted of selling out protected witnesses and recently stabbed while in jail.
When Gretchen picks up Cooper, her instincts tell her he’s innocent and they’re almost friendly during the drive. But when they’re stopped for gas and snacks, Gretchen notices a suspicious car following them. Shortly afterward, they’re run off the road and shot at by the same car.
Rating: 4.25stars

Cooper is in jail for a crime he says he didn't commit. Gretchen struggles with finding her place to fit in. Both were told lies. Will Gretchen become what she has always wanted? Will Cooper be able to prove he is innocent?
I loved how despite how these two met, they were able to recognize that they meant something to each other. I loved seeing Gretchen accept that she wasn't less than and that she was just as special as those around her My heart broke for Cooper, first his blood family, then his coworkers, but I loved seeing him slowly find himself in a new family. Good read!

I have loved this series from the very start. With this one, 'Zoe' just might have outdone herself. Cooper and Gretchen were so great for each other. With everything Copper is going through he never expected to find his mate. Gretchen also didn't see it coming. Being human, from a family of shifters, she didn't think one was out there for her. But things will not be easy for them. Together they will find exactly where they belong. Packed with excitement and suspense. An amazing addition to the series. This is my voluntary opinion of an advanced copy I received.

Zoe Chant has really pulled out all the stops this time!
Now that I know their are several authors writing under "Zoe Chant", I don't know which one to congratulate. This one is a keeper. The vitality of the characters just jumps off the page! The plot steps right in and off we go into a constantly changing road trip adventure. It's difficult to tell who the villain is and the twists and turns created by this author are on a level above, reminding me of Christine Feehan.

Love Zoe Chant’s books, normally. However, as much as I usually enjoy them, this was a disappointment. For me it seemed to have a lot of fill and very little attention grabbing action.
Yes, I read it all. No I can’t remember most of it. FOR MOST PEOPLE THEY WOULD ENJOY THE DEPTH.
That’s why five stars. If you don’t like in-depth description you might have to push through. I usually read a book in day to day and a half. This took me 5.
Zoe, I love your books and have read many,many of them and will continue to read them.

Some romance, some action
This is Gretchen's book. She's been a rock in previous books, the human who grew up with shifters, but wasn't one. The woman who can explain shifters to human mates without being super intimidating.
Only she is strong enough to be a mate to a felon. Of course, he's innocent. There are bad guys to fight before they can prove it.The
This book is pretty balanced between action and romance. There is sex, but not a lot of sex. It was a satisfying read.

Wow
Zoe Chant had an amazing writing style. She's always surrounding the reader with awesome adventures, sweet romance and superb scenery. I love how you you can read any book separately, yet reading them in order enriches your reading experience shook much more. Ms. Chant is one of the authors I love to re-read whenever I just need a lazy day. This US Marshal series is one of my favorites.

Another asset to the series
Gretchen felt like she was defective when she couldn't shift into the lynx like her family did. Cooper was wrongly set up to take the murder rap by what he thought was his team. Being a US Marshal was important to both of them. Meeting for the first time taught them both love will save everyone. Such an exiting and thrilling read for everyone. On to #5

What a twisted plot! This was amazing, and I was on edge reading until the end. It's so hard to understand how corrupt people can be for money. Smh! I love all these new and exciting shifters. What an imagination- grateful ! Message reinforced: there is no honor among thieves! Tables turned
Perfect honeymoon choice. Kudos.

OMG!! He's been through hell cause of greedy stupid assholes!! She's always felt inferior cause of her family even though she shouldn't but in the end when it matters the most she finally will get her wish that she needed but also a good bonus. It was awesome!! Hopefully the new stuffy Marshal will find his mate and mellows out alot. Lol

The Griffin Marshal's Heart
I'm glad Gretchen ended up being a shifter. If she had just continued to listen to that voice in her head, she would have known back then. Maybe it took finding her mate for her beast to show herself. Cooper was lucky that Gretchen's boss sent her. She was able to see from talking to him that he was innocent of the crime he was accused of.

Great story, full of action, self doubt, betrayal, finding love and a family.
The X-Marshel convicted of murder who can no longer hear his Griffin and the human Marshel who some times hears a voice in her head. Read how they find their selves and each other while on the run from killers trying to kill them.

Thoroughly satisfying!
THIS is the Zoe Chant I've been missing! Cooper's and Gretchen's story has it all: characters to love, tender romance, well-imagined thrills and situations, excellent pacing, triumph over truly evil villains, and a touching, hard-earned, very happy, HEA. I completely recommend this to all fans of well- written paranormal romance!

Delightful!
It would be very hard to pick my favorite Zoe book but this one has to rank right up at the top of the list. A strong and brave heroine, a handsome and valiant hero and despicable villains interwoven with a plot that had turning the pages but not wanting for the book to end.
