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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s barely an existence but it works for him, only now it\u2019s getting harder. His clan is growing; they\u2019re finding their Mates, their One. They\u2018re having babies, loving, laughing \u2013 living. And he\u2019s not. He\u2019s feeling more and more isolated. And the fact that he\u2019s stumbled across another female that gives every indication that she\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nValerie\u2019s a Lion shifter. She\u2019s independent, strong, loving and kind. She\u2019s got more curves than a country backroad and gave up the struggle to be model perfect years ago. She\u2019s learned to love who she is and knows exactly what she\u2019s got to offer the right male. Her Lioness has dreamed all her life of finding the One male who\u2019s meant for her, the one who will love her unconditionally and be proud to call her \u201cMine.\u201d 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\u2019t 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\u2019t see past the curves that adorn her body to the amazing female underneath, it\u2019s 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\u2019 kisses her?<br \/>\nMaverik\u2019s 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\u2019s got to deal with the ashes of his past. He\u2019s 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\u2019ll be enough. Maybe then she\u2019ll 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\u2019ll never be able to see around it? He certainly hopes so, because without her, he\u2019ll never survive.<br \/>\nThis is the fourth book in the Avaleigh\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nWarning: 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 \u201cF\u201d 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.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36272930-maverik-s-ashes?ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2fKh2B0\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I purchased this book.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Maverik-Ass how I have longed to see your story!!\u00a0 We saw glimpses of how you COULD be if you weren\u2019t broken but to see your tale and then see you become the man we knew you could be\u2026.yep I had a new teary moments.<\/p>\n<p>Mav has denied Valerie since the day he knew she was his mate.\u00a0 He has been hurtful and making her think he would rather sleep with any other shifter but her.\u00a0 He has destroyed her.\u00a0 Once he got to snuggle with his niece, Daisey, he realized he wanted THAT.\u00a0 He wanted a family.\u00a0 He wanted love\u2026.he wanted his mate!!<\/p>\n<p>Mav goes back to his past to put it at rest.\u00a0 We meet some very important people in his life and then see him go 110% after his Mate, Valerie.\u00a0 When Valerie rejects him then we see a new clan member, Maia, go and plead his case to Valerie.\u00a0 The story of the two of them coming together, dealing with his past and present was a great emotional read.<\/p>\n<p>We also got to see 2 other stories starting in this book.\u00a0 We see Riley and Maia find each other and boy is THAT a hysterical couple.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to see what happens with them in the future!!\u00a0 Maia is no weeping flower and with her new buddy Delilah at her side\u2026she will not be pushed around by anyone!!!\u00a0 But the story that I have been WAITING FOR\u2026the \u201cEver\u201d that I have been needing to read\u2026..BAM meets his Mate.\u00a0 OMG the chills at the scene\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.I had tears in my eyes because Bam is so lost and confused.\u00a0 His mate is just as confused because she thinks Bam isn\u2019t interested when in reality he thinks she isn\u2019t his.<\/p>\n<p>There was so much family in this book.\u00a0 So many amazing story lines like Kaid and Delilah plus the Avaleigh and Daniel\u2019s new adventures!!\u00a0 Seriously this series makes me so excited when I buy one.\u00a0 I make sure I can sit and read it undisturbed because I need to know my Alpha and clan are ok.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sandra R Neeley is a 50-ish Mom, Nana, Wife and Author who masquerades by day as an Administrative Assistant and Manager.
