In the backroads and bayous of Louisiana lives a clan of mix matched shifters. Their Alpha, Kinkaid, has been kidnapped by a ruthless Dragon who thrives on torture and pain. Kaid struggles to survive against all odds. Unable to contact his clan, and weak and unable to shift from his Bear, he has given up almost all hope.
One night a human female is brought to the Dragon’s compound against her will. Avaleigh has been chosen to be the Dragon’s Mate. She is tortured to the brink of insanity, easily overpowered by the Dragon. Gradually she realizes that she has no chance of freedom. But will she be strong enough to save Kaid’s bear? And if she does, will he be able to leave her there?
Sitting alone in a smoke filled bar room, another Dragon waits. Stuck in this place, for no reason other than his Dragon refuses to leave here, Daniel GreyStorm watches the patrons come and go. Frustration keeps him company as he waits, wondering what fascination this Louisiana backroads bar holds for his Dragon. He has no idea he is on a collision course with fate.
This book is the first in a new series, Avaleigh’s Boys, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix matched group of five 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), and some abuse by evil shifters. If you are offended by these subjects, please do not buy this book.
I received the book from the author after winning it in a book release party.
So I love paranormal and I love shifters. This book was a big win for me. I admit it sat on my shelf for a few weeks because I didn’t have the time. When vacation hit, BINGO I was all in.
When I started the book, I admit I was unsure if I was going to like it. The beginning is a bit dark but I promise It’s not NEAR as dark as other stories out there but be warned that there is non-consentual sex in the first few chapters. So there Is my review warning for ya……But like I said it’s not that bad but…..
Avaleigh was been kidnapped and is being held against her will by a really bad, bad, bad shifter. She is giving up on escaping but she sees another animal also being abused. Her final thoughts before she is willing to die is to save the bear.
Kaid is on his last string. He is the alpha of his pack but is being kept in his bear form. He can’t understand the spells that his is being contained under. When a strong-willed human who has endured her own abuses helps him escape, Kaid clams this human as his own. He gives her his bite to help hide her from the bag guy they are on the run from.
Kaid bring Ava into his clan of misfit shifters. The guys all love her and her care. She has becoming the missing link to their pack. The missing female needed to help the guys form the solid family unit they are. Kaid and Ava are in this predicament. They both love and care for each other but they aren’t the “True Mate” for one another. Should they go ahead and claim each other? If so then what if their true mate appears????
One night while singing her butt off with the guys in karaoke, in walks Daniel and everything flips on a dime!! Let’s just say Ava’s true mate found her and is not thrilled to see her snuggling with a group of shifters.
The bar scene was the best. I was giggling my butt off. But I loved seeing the Kaid-Ava-Daniel dynamic play out. Ava is pulled in many different ways. Her duty to her mate or her duty to her family. She doesn’t think she can have both!!
While the Pack is dealing and evaluating, the bad guy is tracking down his “mate”. He wants her back. Let’s just say things go really bad for him when he comes across a true mate and her pack family!!!
The other guys in the pack…seriously….Bam. My heart for this guy. But then Bane…..shut up. Mav and Goldiy cracked me up but…..but…Kaid……I need to know my Alpha is going to be ok!!!
Books 2 and 3 are downloaded so I shall find out soon enough!!
