Claws Inc. #2

Hunter's Hare

Rate this book
I told myself one night with him was enough. I lied. David’s mine. My Omega.

The moment fate threw David into Hunter Thornton’s path, Hunter was doomed. David’s sweet and strong. Naive and caring. He’s the perfect Omega, except he’s not meant for Hunter. Hunter promised David he’s content just being friends. He lied. Hunter’s about to break his promise. Every time they hang out or go on their ‘friend dates’, Hunter starts wanting more. If Hunter crosses the line, he might ruin their friendship, but it’s a risk Hunter’s willing to take.

Omega David Santos needs to start over. He moved to Westford Hills to get away from a persistent stalker. Good thing his best friend is living in the same area. Hunter’s incorrigible. Caring. Protective. Too sexy for his own good. Hunter’s got the total package. David’s the wrong fit for him. But the moment Hunter kisses him, his entire world is overturned. David knows he should stay strong. He can’t fall for Hunter’s charms, but what if it’s too late?


A reluctant and sweet Omega falls for his charming and overprotective Alpha in Hunter’s Hare. It is book 2 in the Claws Inc. series. There are no cliff-hangers or cheating, and a HEA is guaranteed.

A notch above book one!
Story was pretty darn good, characters well-developed and this time the proofreading/editing much improved! Still needs work, but much better than it was in book one!
Really love Hunter and David's story, lost count of the number of times I giggled (yes giggled, don't judge me) while reading their story. This was such a fun and enjoyable tale!

Hunter's Hare
By Fel Fern

David is an omega hare shifter and works as a freelance graphic designer. Hunter is an alpha wolf shifter and an ex-Paranormal Special Ops soldier. With best friend Walker he is now Co-CEO of Claws, Inc. A security shifter firm.

When David is pursued by an alpha stalker he moves from his beloved hometown to be closer to his brother, Manny, and coincidentally Hunter.

In a rash decision Hunter makes David his fake boyfriend, but neither is willing to admit that they each want so much more from the other.

I absolutely love David. He's such a sweetheart. Hunter is the perfect loving and protective alpha for him. They have a sweet chemistry together.

The book is in both Hunter and David's POV. The angst level is low.

Unfortunately the book needs a good editing. There were enough errors that it was distracting and slowed the flow of the story which was a real shame. Otherwise I would've given it 5 stars.

I found the book a cute read, but David got a little tiresome.his low self esteem issues just got boring. Fel needs to up the maturity level of her characters. Otherwise cute story.

Alpha Hunter Thornton and Omega David Santos, crossed paths at a time when neither thought they were ready for a mate.

Because of David's past and the fact he's a hare shifter, he feels insecure and not considered good enough for an alpha like Hunter. Compare that to Hunter, who is former military, partner in a successful business and an wolf shifter.

To keep his mother off his back about taking an omega, Hunter lies about already dating. Accidentally running into David, he makes the proposition to play along with the "fake dating." They mutually agree to a few dates for appearances.

Little did David know, Hunter also had his fair share of issues and is far from perfect. Hunter is infatuated by his fated omega. As David and Hunter work to build their lives, there are few issues they have to come clean about. Including the real reason why David abruptly moved closer to his family.

You change towns & mate your alpha. Will that be enough to stop your stalker?

I am in love with this world! My old friends welcomed me back into their lives with open arms. What a sizzling, touching, boisterous tale, filled with fated mates, loads of family, kids, a shy omega, a patient alpha and a stalker. You will be embroiled in this story as I was. Get ready for a wild ride! Join Hunter and David on their road to HEA. Reunite with Manny, Walker, Noah, Ghost, Hawke, Antonio, Greta, PA Petunia, assorted kids, and a darling hairless cat named Pretty. Don't worry. This isn't the end to this saga. I can't wait for the next book!

One detail threw me off balance. David dan Hunter melakukan satu kali ONS, 3 bulan berselang diketahui bahwa David mempunyai masalah yg menghantui berupa seorang penguntit yang ternyata adalah mantan ONSnya David di selang 3 bulan David dan Hunter menjalin hubungan secara platonis dengan bertukar pesan dll tanpa ada sex di dalamnya. Diketahui juga, David sangat menyesal dengan kejadian tersebut karena sexnya juga biasa dan pada saat dia melakukan hal tersebut dia selalu teringat dengan Hunter. David merasa tidak nyaman ke Hunter untuk mengusulkan untuk melakukan ONS ke dua, alih-alih David malah cari ONS di sebuah bar pada saat dia sangat horny dan hal tersebut menjadi kesalahan terbesar dalam hidupnya.

David tidur dengan si penguntitnya adalah satu detail yang sangat mengganggu so totally DNF!!!

David is an omega hare shifter. He's an introvert and does not like change. He has a lot of worries and anxiety issues, and suffers from low self esteem. He was adopted as a child, and even though he was happy and loved by his family, he felt he didn't quite fit in. Hunter is an alpha wolf shifter and good friends with David's brother. He and David share a night together at David's brother's wedding and remained friends ever since.

When David moves away to a small apartment to escape a stalker, he and Hunter grow closer and they decide to start a fake relationship. It would hopefully give David's stalker a hint that they were not getting together, and give Hunter a little relief from his mother setting him up on dates. Soon their fake relationship begins to turn real. Can David believe in himself as worthy of love and find the courage to move forward with Hunter? And how can he handle his stalker when the alpha just won't take a hint?

This was a really good book. It was really nice to have a very imperfect protagonist dealing with his own insecurities and anxieties. Seeing David grow more confident and push past his comfort zone was nice to read. Hunter has made some mistakes in the past, but he's more confident in how he handles himself. He's very patient and caring with David and encourages him and supports him.

I really liked all the supporting characters. Their personalities were distinctive and refreshing. There was only one character that I was interested in that I didn't get to see at all- David's brother, Noel. David and his brother Manny were very close, but his relationship with Noel was a little more strained. I kept waiting for him to show up at family barbeques or at certain times in the book where family should- and would- be there for each other, but he never did. He was only mentioned a few times in conversation but never introduced. His absence was also never pointed out or discussed by anyone, so it almost felt like this character didn't exist. I found that odd. Especially since he was the cause of some of David's insecurities from when they were younger.

There are some grammatical errors and wrong words here and there, but nothing major. A few little details were weird or flubbed in the story. For instance, David receives a package from his stalker with colorful greeting cards, and the first one he sees has his stalker's hair taped to it. When Hunter is thinking about it later, he notes that the other cards had "a couple more of his hairs and other body parts on the other cards." Body parts? Like parts of his own body that he cut off and taped to the cards, or from other people? It was a weird detail that left more questions about the mindset- and possible murderous tendencies of the stalker, who readers will always keep in the back of their mind expecting him to pop up, but don't actually see much of.

Other examples of a weird details- when Hunter confronts a private investigator, he mentions having read Hunter's military files. Hunter was surprised because they were sealed. And yet could tell the PI was "hurting for cash" by his tattered clothes and the state of his car. He was easily able to bribe him and he didn't seem like a very capable PI. So how was he able to get classified military information?

Another example is after they are mated (not a spoiler since there's a guaranteed HEA in the synopsis), the following day at a family BBQ they announce it to their families. (FYI- This book has mating bites, no wedding rings or changing scents or anything.) When they drive home afterward, Hunter thinks "Patrick [stalker] knew David and I were mated." How? It just happened, they didn't announce it online or did anything public that would give that information away, so how could he know? And if he somehow discovered that information, how did Hunter know that he knows? Wouldn't that make them more cautious and take extra precautions? It didn't and it just made the threat feel very lax.

Throughout the book, it was mentioned by the protagonists several times that David did not like change and had to take everything slow. The day after an intimate night, David asks Hunter where they stand and they decide to make their fake relationship real. This felt realistic because we've seen their emotions so far, and though it's a change, David admits to wanting it. Later that day after something happens to bring Hunter back to David's apartment. They are intimate again and Hunter feels the desire to give him the mating bite. He doesn't even need to discuss it with David, because David tells him to do it without being prompted. And then boom- mated. It felt very jarring because it's a sudden huge, life-altering step and given David's personality, shouldn't have taken place so suddenly after David finally relented and admitted to wanting to be in a real relationship just hours before. It just felt like a big inconsistency in character.

Overall, I did enjoy this book in spite of the few inconsistencies. I liked the growing relationship between them, and the insecurities David suffers felt very realistic and easy to sympathize with. The threat of the stalker added a level of background tension for readers expecting him to show up or make his presence known, but it could have been utilized a little more. It felt very much secondary to the budding romance and just a steeping stone to have brought them together in the first place. A good read with likable characters. I recommend giving it a read. 4 stars.

Wow these two are pure bliss
I am blown away with David, he comes across as a shy little guy but I tell you something when he wants something he goes after it. He is extremely insecure and I really don’t understand why because this guy is just so amazing and I am so glad that Hunter saw through it and was there for him. Hunter and David had got together at Walker and Manny’s wedding and then three months later Hunter goes to see David because he is moved Closer to his family and Hunter. This is where they pretend to be in a relationship to stop Hunter‘s mum from sending him on blind dates. And to protect David who has got a stalker.
I was blown away with this book I couldn’t put it down and read it well into the night I didn’t care about the lack of sleep it was worth it. David and Hunter are such brilliant people that I just wished them all the very best throughout this book. I wanted to bang their heads together on times but hey they got there in the end.
I really, really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the next one. Totally loving this series.

Hunter and David had one night then decided to be friends. Hunter wasn't in the market for a relationship and David has trust and self esteem issues but Hunter quickly becomes the one person David can turn too when things become dangerous in his life.

David made a huge mistake picked up a stalker and had to start all over in another town but hes closer to his brother and Hunter he begins to wonder could they have something together. Hunter missed David and was glad he was back in town then he finds out why Hunter came back it makes him realizes he will do anything to keep David safe. This was sweet with some danger but a definite HEA ending.

I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Hunter was an alpha with a small family, his two brothers and his two nieces. David, had a large group, Manny with Walker, Hunter's best friend and Noel, who didn't seem very inclusive with David. Hunter, had a reputation as a short term, playa. David, thought he's manage his interest in Hunter, by going along with the idea of being friends. Hunter was quietly agonizing over his love afraid to speak up and destroy the friendship. Both of these guys are adorable. Was Hunter's decisions correct? Will he be able to remain friends if David found a love interest? Will David be on the watch for a straying Hunter. The stress will drive anyone crazy. Nice story. Lotsa fun to unwrap. Well done!

I absolutely love all the relationships in this series so far. Hunter and David friendship turning to lovers was wonderful. I like how Hunter was nice, patient, understanding and loving alpha to his omega. David being timid and wary really came out of his shell when he was with Hunter. They really had special relationship and there were a lot of scenes I was like ooooh and awww aint that cute...LOL. They didn't let that wackjob stalker bring their connection down. Loved the nice addition to the family towards the end and it was very lovely HEA for the guys. Hopefully it will Hawke's turn to find his forever mate next. Can't wait.

I’m simply in love with David and Hunter. This story will touch your heart and keep you entertained. David is a shy rabbit shifter who feels like he is a failure, but Hunter recognises him as a sweet omega who he just wants to spend time with. They are introduced through David’s brother Manny, who married Hunters best friend Walker. David has a stalker who he confides to Hunter about. The attraction between David and Hunter is instant, but they try to resist it, but in the end they find their happily ever after.

Great Series

David is a timid omega bunny. Hunter is an alpha wolf. They had a quick one night fling but Hunter made a point to keep in touch with David because he felt that there was more for them other than one night. David moves to the same town as his brother Manny, but he's actually running away from a stalker who he had a INE night stand with.

Hunter soon discovers what is going one, plus getting pressures from their families, Hunter and David become a fake couple. But soon both want more and they mate! But David's stalker follows and Hunter has no option other than to stop him permanently.

This has a HEA ending complete with a beautiful baby.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Hunter and David had hooked up once but didn't forget each other. When David moves to Westford Hills to escape his stalker, he reconnects with Hunter and they help each other out. During this, they mate much to everyone's happiness including their own. Unfortunately there is a brief danger when David's stalker comes after them but Hunter takes care of him. I'm really liking this series so far and look forward to more.

I loved Hunter's Hare by Fel Fern. It's the second book in the Claws, Inc. series. I thought Hunter's Hare was a great addition to the series. I loved David and Hunter. They were perfect together. I also loved Hunter's cat, Pretty. I've always wanted a sphinx cat. The only alpha and omega still single in the group of friends are Hawke and Jason. I can't wait to find out who they end up with or if they end up together.

David and Hunter’s story was incredible sweet. The start out as friends but when David moves to town their friend turns into so much more. It also could be the fake relationship that did it as well. This is a fast paced love story full of shifter babies and a sweet love story. Fall in love with Hunter and David and their happily ever after

Hunter meets David at Manny and Walker's barbeque. David is an insecure Omega hare and Walker is a confident, ex-military Alpha wolf. Hunter has never wanted a committed relationship, until he met David. David has a stalker from a drunken 1 night stand. Hunter wants his pushy mom off his back. They agree to help each other by playing fake mates. But over time they realize they are truly fated mates. Liked the depth and detail and patience of this story! Wonderful ending!

Shy bunny!

Oh, our shy and cuddly bunny. David is an introvert and completely opposite of Hunter. Of course they are mates! Reading how David starts gaining confidence in himself through his relationship with Hunter is wonderful. Also having Hunter realize he can have a mate and a HEA like his friend Walker is also sweet. These two together are a sweet and strong pair. Really enjoyed the book.

I loved David’s and Hunter’s story and this is book 2 in Claws Inc, it’s about David an omega who has a one night stand with Hunter an alpha who’s also the Co- CEO of Claws Inc a shifter security firm. They agree to be friends and that’s perfect for Hunter because he doesn’t want a relationship or kids but as they spend time together their feelings get involved. Fantastic, sweet and sexy m/m romance and I highly recommend this book.

sweet

This was a sweet omega alpha story. Very alpha saves omega so if that’s not your jam you’ve been warned. I like being saved so I enjoyed the wolf saving the hare. This was a friends to more type of story. One not thinking he wanted a relationship and one thinking he didn’t deserve a relationship. The writing was good. But there were several spots that needed editing. The smexy was ok, and the sides characters were ok

I'm so glad that Hunter and David were mated finally after dealing with the fears and insecurities that worried David. They worked well together and I love how Hunter dealt with David's stalker. The story, as well as the characters, truly warmed my heart. The author was excellent at conveying the emotions of each character. I enjoy this series and I'm looking forward to Hawke's story.

I enjoyed Hunter and David’s story.

David’s lack of self esteem made his insecurities worse. Fear held him back but being around Hunter, made him bold and brave. I enjoyed watching him come out of his shell.

4 star editing...

When you listen via text to speech you pick up a lot of the mistakes. There's a bunch of dropped "the", first letters to words and extra er added creating gramical catastrophes.

Meh

It was okay. 2.5 stars. The writing is not strong. It’s okay, but like, watt pad level okay. There were some annoying grammatical errors and mis-spellings, but not so many I DNF’d it. The plot was barely there, but at least there was a semblance of one.
