I love that when they find their mates these big tough alphas are brought to their knees. What do you get when a Hawk and a Lion are fated mates and family enemies? One intense mating and a not so happy family.<\/p>\n<p>Hawk found his mate when he went to collect his cousins who stupidly crashed a lion shifters party. Both Saffy and Hawk were surprised to find their fated mate was from a rival shifter family. Hawk and Saffy could not be happier that they found each other. If only the families felt the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I had the feeling of a Romeo and Juliet vibe it didn\u2019t end the same thankfully. I am enjoying these short reads and getting to know the shifters on the SWAT team. I am intrigued to read ICE the Polar Bear next.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"dataTitle\">Website<\/div>\n<div class=\"dataItem\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorBellaDrake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorBellaDrake\/<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"dataItem\">Genre<\/div>\n<div class=\"dataItem\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/genres\/paranormal\">Paranormal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/genres\/romance\">Romance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/genres\/suspense\">Suspense<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He was raised to hate the lion pride.
