Aspyn Douglass is a brilliant graduate student who believed she had found the love of her life in her married professor and mentor. When she discovers the truth--that it's all an awful lie and he will never leave his wife for her--she moves on alone, heartbroken but wiser--determined to build a career and a name for herself as an anthropologist. Her jilted lover was not ready to see the relationship end. He plots the ultimate revenge when she threatens to spill the beans about their affair to his wife. Clan brothers and lifelong friends, Dom, Kai and Zen are hiking in the snow-capped Cascade Mountains for their annual shift and bonding outing. When Dom’s beast catches the essence of a woman on the icy breeze, he’s compelled to follow the intriguing scent, arriving in the nick of time to rescue Aspyn from Professor Montague's attack. Dom’s Sasquatch is adamant that she is the perfect mate for his clan--Dom, the man isn't so sure. Find out what happens when three ultimate apex predators have to keep their mate alive and well, and overcome the impasse of their Alpha’s internal conflict.
Wowzer, HAWT Sasquatch, this book pulled me out of a HUGE book funk! Aspyn is a PHD student out in the field with her would be mentor and lover, and BAM she finds out what a skeevy guy he truly is, and rightly dumps him. That is when her adventure begins, I love the description this author gives us, I get wrapped up into this world and characters! It's a multi POV, which is a fav of mine. The dynamic of the relationship with the guys is brotherly and entertaining, the relationship they develop with Aspyn is beautiful and steamy! This is not a smooth awe look my mate and we live happily ever after, there is suspense, there is trouble but there is perseverance too! Oh and this author made sure that you can laugh too!
If you are looking for a story that has some steam this is for you if you want a book with steam and a killer story that you get wrapped up into the world, the characters and the feelings they experience this is for you! I am excited and waiting to read the next book in this series!
I love shifter stories. This one blew my expectations out of the water. RH has become a favourite of mine, I so enjoy the male interactions in the everyday setting. I am so impressed with Clairissa SinClair and her ability to draw you in. She creates amazing characters, each one with their own issues, personality and thoughts. Every little detail is well laid out. Clairissa also creates amazing FMCs. Aspyn included. She’s strong-minded, opinionated and doesn’t back down from a challenge. She’s definitely what these guys need. I am dying to read book two! Congrats Clairissa! Top of my list for sure!
Aspyn is a student who is in love with her professor even though he is already married. Discovering he had no intention of ever leaving his wife for her, she attempts to move on and focus on her future. Her professor refuses to let her just end things so easily and starts to plan when she threatens to tell his wife. Three members of a clan and good friends are hiking in the mountains when one of them smells the scent of a woman. Stopping the professor's attack on Aspyn, one of the men is unsure about this woman but his inner sasquatch is very sure. The friends were there to shift but they found their mate instead. Can they keep her safe while the alpha debates if she is right?
I loved this story and have never before seen a sasquatch love story so I found this to be really unique. I absolutely hated the Dr Jackson character but I know he is necessary to the story or Aspyn wouldn't mate to her three. I found their care and adoring towards her to be so endearing that I felt gooey inside over it. This is an extremely well written shifter romance that has no parallel and I was stuck to my kindle like a barnacle to a ship. I loved all three men as they all had different personalities but their main priority is the same. A superbly planned story with the author having the skill of a master.

It's a unique approach. I never have read a book about Sasquatch shifters. It's not 5 stars for me. For that, the content was too predictable. And the relationship issues and pace wasn't something new either.
In RH, it's a popular concept to have at least one unwilling member of the harem and therefore creating problems of how they come together. And the threats against Aspyn were of the usual kind, too. It wasn't really necessary.
Still, I liked it. It may nothing too new, but it was funny. It had some steam too, though it isn't always written-out. Some of it just happens off-screen or is in direction fade to black. And there is some knotting (Alpha Sasquatch) and a female heat. Otherwise, it was easy to read.
The characters were likeable, but not too interesting. Of course, there are some holes in the plot too. Or things, that aren't explained well or enough. I think it's due to the fact, that the book is fairly short. Like, how old can Sasquatch shifters become? They are 48, but look like 25? From the part I have read, I seem like that Aspyn will presumably die before them. I'm not sure, how I find that.
But okay. I liked the epilogue too. I would recommend reading it. 🙂
Aspyn Douglass is a grad student who fell in love with her married professor, believing his lies that he would leave his wife for her. Now she knows the truth, so she dumped him. But he had something else in mind and tried to attack her in the Cascade Mountains. Fortunately, 3 Sasquatch clan brother shifters, Dom, Kai, and Zen, were hiking nearby. Dom was able to reach Aspyn before Professor Montague killed her. This is where her world is turned around and the adventure begins!
Dom’s Sasquatch wants her as mate for his clan, but his human half is not so sure this is a good idea. Can the others work through Dom’s human conflict toward taking her as a mate. How does Aspyn feel about their situation? Is a HEA possible for them?
This was certainly original. I can’t say it’s one of my favorites, but it was different.
I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't get over the fact that it seems to be written for YA. The characters are NA, but some of their actions are definitely childish. The author should have made this a longer book where she could flesh out some things. Aspyn's acceptance of her mates being shifters was too smooth and too quick. The whole story with Jackson seems forced and added just to give us readers some intrigue. I wanted to feel a connection with these characters but didn't. I wasn't impressed with Dom, Kai, or Zen. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is creative to have sasquatch shifters and I love the epilogue.
This is my first time reading a Sasquatch book. It was an intriguing idea that they are shifters. I felt like her PTSD was very accurate. There is some steam but some fade to black. There are definitely some very dark elements in this book (Teacher-student relationship, attempted r@pe, murder). The Alpha does struggle with the mating.
I did have an arc copy that had formatting issues. Hopefully it will be fixed in the final copy.

Loved this story. I love finding a reverse harem that is amazingly out of the ordinary. I have read a lot of RH shifter books, but never a sasquatch shifter. I will with a doubt be reading the next book and all others written by this author. Highly recommend!
Intriguing and unique story. This is a Sasquatch, RH romance with some darker elements that could be possible triggers for some. Aspen has great dynamics with Dom, Kai and Zen. I enjoyed their interactions together. Very original read.
An interesting start with plot twists all around, a relatable character and unusual type of shifters for a shifter romance. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Clarissa SinClair brings us an excellent story! Beautifully written with complex characters and plot twists, this is sure to become a favourite. Don't miss out on this book!!
Love a good monster story and this one delivered!! Knotting, monsters, and good storyline, OH MY!! Absolutely great book and can’t wait to read the next one!
So I downloaded this book on ku, thinking it had to be a spoof. I mean seriously who writes sexy big foot? I have to say I enjoyed this book so much. Well written with world building and character development out of this world. It's not just wam, bam, thank you monster @0@&. The story is griping and engaging. And; Just when you think its over ...
Once I saw this title, I knew I was adding it to the TBR pile…a shifter romance with Sasquatch, count me in. It turned out to be an absolutely fabulous book. I loved seeing how the relationships between Aspyn and her three Sauman Kar(s) developed. It’s a fast burn but it completely works. The story is quite a roller coaster and I loved every minute. Looking forward to the next book!
This book was a pleasent surprise I got in it blind. And it was a very interesting, Intriguing and unexpected read. In a million year would have occured to me Sasquatch shifters that was brilliant.
You get the hot Sasquatch shifter harem. The funny and innocent but very inteligent FMC. The sex was amazing steamy and hot. Instalove and instalust. I love it. This book was straight to the point with a really Intriguing plot with unexpected twists.
This book is funny/hot and has a good plot that keeps you reading. It was a solid story and the twist were amazing to keep the story going and more interesting.
Aspyn was a very relatable female character and it was amazing that she was plus size and it wasn't show in a despective way it was like something normal, she was a normal girl with a normal size body. I loved that. Her internal dialogue was so funny.
Overall it was a fun and fast read a perfect book have a good time.
“Holy hell, it’s like a lifeline to my pussy. That feels so good.” -Aspyn
I'm new to this author and this was definitely my first Sasquatch Shifter romance. I did enjoy the characters and storyline - looking forward to the next book in this series.
I had no idea that books with Sasquatch/yeti shifters were a “thing”; but now that I know they are, I see more in my future. Even before meeting her mates, I was a big fan of Aspyn- her intelligence, humor, strength. Add in the guys, especially Zen 😍, and the clan was great to read about.
