Maverik’s broken. His entire world came crashing down around him without warning, stolen from him brutally in the night by the one female he entrusted his soul to. His Wolf is all he’s got left, both are bitter, wary, untrusting and dangerous. They hide behind a wall of snarky, biting humor erected to keep the rest of the world at bay as they try desperately to cling to survival each and every day. He’s managed to find shelter in a clan of shifters. They have given him the support he needs to nurse his wounds in his solitary, self-imposed emotional isolation. It’s barely an existence but it works for him, only now it’s getting harder. His clan is growing; they’re finding their Mates, their One. They‘re having babies, loving, laughing – living. And he’s not. He’s feeling more and more isolated. And the fact that he’s stumbled across another female that gives every indication that she’s his Mate is not helping. The last one almost destroyed him; there is no way in hell he will allow another female, any female, an opportunity to complete the job.
Valerie’s a Lion shifter. She’s independent, strong, loving and kind. She’s got more curves than a country backroad and gave up the struggle to be model perfect years ago. She’s learned to love who she is and knows exactly what she’s got to offer the right male. Her Lioness has dreamed all her life of finding the One male who’s meant for her, the one who will love her unconditionally and be proud to call her “Mine.” Unfortunately for her; the wild, tatted, mohawked and oh so sexy Wolf shifter who joins the local clan that frequents her brothers bar is the male that her Lioness decides is hers. And the bastard won’t even acknowledge her existence! His repeated rebuffs of her attempts to just have a conversation with him end in her blazing hatred for him. If he can’t see past the curves that adorn her body to the amazing female underneath, it’s his loss, not hers. Why then, is it his face she sees each time she closes her eyes at night, each time her new fiance’ kisses her?
Maverik’s had enough. The little Lioness calls to him in a way that he can no longer ignore. He wants her; forever. But before he can do anything about it, he’s got to deal with the ashes of his past. He’s got to go back, lay it all to rest and try to salvage some semblance of who he once was, of the honorable male that died that night. Maybe then he’ll be enough. Maybe then she’ll see him as the male he once was proud to be. Will he be able to man up, to make peace with his past before her hatred of him becomes so intense that she’ll never be able to see around it? He certainly hopes so, because without her, he’ll never survive.
This is the fourth book in the Avaleigh’s Boys series, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of South Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix-matched group of shifters who depend on one another and are loyal to no end. These are their stories.
Warning: Intended for mature audiences. These stories contain hot bear, dragon, wolf and lion shifters. They like to cuss, fight and love their women. This book contains explicit love scenes, lots of use of the “F” word (among others), some violence, and possibly some abuse both real and inferred that may be disturbing for some readers. If you are offended by these subjects, please do not buy this book.

I purchased this book.

Oh Maverik-Ass how I have longed to see your story!!  We saw glimpses of how you COULD be if you weren’t broken but to see your tale and then see you become the man we knew you could be….yep I had a new teary moments.

Mav has denied Valerie since the day he knew she was his mate.  He has been hurtful and making her think he would rather sleep with any other shifter but her.  He has destroyed her.  Once he got to snuggle with his niece, Daisey, he realized he wanted THAT.  He wanted a family.  He wanted love….he wanted his mate!!

Mav goes back to his past to put it at rest.  We meet some very important people in his life and then see him go 110% after his Mate, Valerie.  When Valerie rejects him then we see a new clan member, Maia, go and plead his case to Valerie.  The story of the two of them coming together, dealing with his past and present was a great emotional read.

We also got to see 2 other stories starting in this book.  We see Riley and Maia find each other and boy is THAT a hysterical couple.  I can’t wait to see what happens with them in the future!!  Maia is no weeping flower and with her new buddy Delilah at her side…she will not be pushed around by anyone!!!  But the story that I have been WAITING FOR…the “Ever” that I have been needing to read…..BAM meets his Mate.  OMG the chills at the scene………….I had tears in my eyes because Bam is so lost and confused.  His mate is just as confused because she thinks Bam isn’t interested when in reality he thinks she isn’t his.

There was so much family in this book.  So many amazing story lines like Kaid and Delilah plus the Avaleigh and Daniel’s new adventures!!  Seriously this series makes me so excited when I buy one.  I make sure I can sit and read it undisturbed because I need to know my Alpha and clan are ok.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Coby Porter and Brogan are back for a great novella incorporating Harper Sloan’s Corp Security in Hope Town, GA.

Coby and Brogan are still working through everything they have endured. a little push from the one and only Dr. Santo’s has Coby on a mission. One he is keeping from Brogan who as every woman miss construes things a bit when he is gone and won’t tell her everything. Coby is trying to work on him and Brogan to get them back. What he is doing is so heartwarming and fives me the feel goods. I never would have expected Coby to do what he is doing but WOW makes my heart flutter.

Watching the interaction between Coby and the Corps Security family is fascinating. I loved seeing the connection Coby has with Hope Town and the military guys. TO see that Brogan was able to sit in the one and only Sway’s chair and get a scalp massage was high pitch squeal worthy.

J.M. Walker did a great job of melting her King’s Harlot series and Harper Sloan’s Corp Security together for this Kindle Worlds. She had my emotions all over the place for a novella she tapped into every emotion and hit them hard. Makes me want more of both series.

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

Jesus this book!  I am pretty sure I need to go to church and maybe read up on some passages.  Maybe go and take communion????  I mean Holy Hell!!

Lawd was it crazy!  Lawd was it hot! Lawd am I scared of these ladies’ imaginations!!  LAWD did we learn some important things.  But can we talk about the bad people for a second??  DUDE so creepy. Like you ladies are making me nervous to meet in real life!!

It seems we find out who the crazy captor is in the story.  We see the back story on Noah and Ivy’s “friendships”.  We also see the crazy, jealous person who is the one causing all the pain for our couple.

We being to see Ivy putting it all together.  She is also finally admitting she is in fact in love with Noah which takes him by surprise because well she was a little late to the game so it seems.  Everyone knew they wore in love except Ivy had trouble believing it since Noah wore his dead fiancée’s necklace for so long….until just recently that it!!

This book is a step in the “we are gonna get free and kill some people”.  Ivy and Noah are starting to study their surroundings to figure out how to save themselves and kill whoever is behind this!  Vengeance will be theirs!!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

OMG!!! I love that we get another glimpse into Coby and Brogan’s relationship. I knew that coming back from what they’d been through was going to be rough, but I really didn’t know just how rough.
You can tell how much that these two love each other just by what they are willing to do to move on from the past.
Seeing Coby mingling with the guys from Corps Security is awesome, it’s almost as if he belongs.
I am absolutely amazed at what it is that really pulls Coby back from the abyss, yes Brogan loves him and yes she does everything in her power it get him there, but this one thing is what really does it and makes the two of them whole again. I swear I was crying.
Damn you Walker, Novellas are suppose to make you cry!!!
Once again I will say how wonderful Walker did writing her characters into Harper Sloan’s Corps Security World!!
