A woman on the run...
Shannon Joyce is a gifted psychic healer with a dangerous secret. When she’s kidnapped by shifter mercenaries working for Whitepine Security Services, she knows escape is her only option. Her frantic flight brings her to Elysia, a peaceful town nestled in the Rocky Mountains…but her wolf shifter pursuers aren't far behind.

A warrior turned rancher...
Rafe Magnusson is a bear shifter who knows all about Whitepine Security Services. Years ago, they recruited him and other bear shifters as Beast Warriors, elite shock troops hired out to anyone willing to pay WSS's price. Shannon’s arrival in Elysia threatens to expose the bear shifters who escaped the sinister organization, but Rafe can’t turn away a lovely lady in need of help…especially when the curvy fugitive is his fated mate.

A desperate battle
Pursued by wolf shifters loyal to WSS, Shannon and Rafe must battle underhanded tactics, merciless enemies, and their own need to protect each other. Can they find a way their happily-ever-after, or will the darkness separate them forever?

This steamy paranormal romance novel is a standalone story with no cliffhangers. Some of the character names and backstory details have been changed from the first edition of this book.

A shifter romance running from danger and lucky enough to y he love & safe harbor!

Face and his team escaped a horrific fate at the very least delayed it. Shannon also only saw glimpses of the horrific violence of mankind on shifters will be scared for life. When she meets Rare and discovers more she really has to heal along with him. Fast pace action, twist and turns but like in life with love it sure is a hell of a lot easier. If you like special operations t?like Brotherhood Protectors you will like them s also.

Worst luck!

Kindle unlimited purchase
By Ophelia Sexton
Shannon is running for her life. She has had the worst luck, but maybe her luck has changed. Who would have thought that being in an airplane crash would be lucky? Well, that's how her day has been.
When Rafe smelled wolf shifters far from their home territory he knew something was wrong. When he smelled the blood of a young woman, he knew he had to save her.
I enjoyed this book. I think it's a great start to what is going to be a great series.

I enjoyed the storyline, there is a little bit of drama and action going on that you want to get to the end result and see what happens. This was pretty fast paced and I was able to get it read quickly. I would have liked a little more interaction between the H and h, but that's just me and I still enjoyed reading this book. I am curious to see where this story goes and if they get the bad guy!

Very good

I really enjoyed this story! Very interesting and action packed. Secret government base, with shifters being made to serve the men their and a bear shifter who has fallen in love with a healer. She was kidnapped by them and brought to America. He saved her and, in the process, fell in love. Interesting twist on the world of shifters.

Great Read!

I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. The story is well written and the characters are so interesting. I don't want to post any spoilers, but the ending was surprisingly. I recommend this series as I can't wait to read the next one.

And we are on the hunt

Oooh great story, grabs you up and takes you along a interesting tale. A mid sized read for a voracious reader. A longer read for a normal reader. Fun and just slightly addicting you're going to want the rest.

This is a nice love story with plenty of action. The characters need a little more development along with some more world building. We know that these shifters exist, but we have no idea how mating works, or what really makes them shifters, or even their abilities. The same goes for our healer. Is she just a strong psychic who can manipulate molecules or is she actually using magic? It's all questionable and the story leaves a lot in the air.

A nice short story.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. This book to me was a teaser what is yet to come. It can be read as a stand alone as well as an introduction for the next book.

Rafe and Shannon

These authors were new for me. This was an enjoyable fast read, though I would have liked a little more character building or background. Hopefully there will be more information

Beast Warrior

It never fails to amaze me, the inhumanity that man puts upon man and beast. Greed, for power and or money, loses against love umblemished.

Sionann is on the run from an evil Prince

Ragnar is the were-bear who stumbles across her running and makes the impulsive decision to help her.

I was gifted with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, and switched to the Kindle Unlimited version when it was published. This was a fun, well paced story, with some really enjoyable world building and fun looks at our modern environment, which created a universe I would enjoy reading more stories in.

Sionann and Ragnar were great fun as leading characters, but equally important for me was the quality of their supporting cast, which included several characters I found myself wanting to get to know better, and hoping will get their own books. (Bjorn, Dag, Harold, and Erik Redclaw all come to mind.)

Oh this is a great co-authored book!

I love it when authors get together to produce a seamless product. This was an example of co-authorship perfection. But enough about that, let me rave about how much I adored Shannon. You know when you read a book and the author obviously loves the Irish a bit too obsessively and it comes out in the book as unreadable gibberish? Well this book definitely DIDNT have that problem. Sure Shannon was Irish, and you could tell she was by how the POV changed when it was from her perspective, but it wasn't unreadable with all that accent written out. It was perfect! Absolutely perfect and her Irishness didn't obscure her character at all! It was perfection. Read this for how Irish characters should be done.
