Book Blurb

For months Caleb Falcon has been avoiding a real estate mogul from Atlanta who’s been trying to buy his ancestral lands in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Falcon, a bear shifter and the town sheriff, wants only to be left alone and he’s not looking to make any changes in his life in the foreseeable future. That is, until he stops a big, expensive SUV flying up the mountain road to Falcon’s Ridge and meets its sexy driver, Connor Rhodes. Falcon knows instantly that Connor is his mate, but he also learns that Connor is the son of the real estate developer who’s after his land, and that he hates being in the country with no city conveniences and no electronics that work. A romance between them has no chance of working out.

Connor is struggling with his feelings too, but he’s up for a sexy fling with the handsome, burly cop, and he’s sure he can simply walk away when it’s time to go back home. They both try to ignore their feelings for each other and the passion that has ignited between them, but the urge to mate is growing worse every day, and if Connor doesn’t stop flaunting his body in that skimpy underwear, Falcon won’t be responsible for what happens. They both have to learn to face the truth about themselves and find their own inner strengths before they can come together, and discover that the mutual attraction they feel isn’t just a pleasant diversion, but a love that will change both of their lives forever.

Book Review

A bear shifter as a town sheriff is interesting enough, in my mind, to want to read this story. But then he is also the head of the local bearshifter clan, owns most of the land in the vicinity, and has an issue with the thought of mating. Of course he ends up running into a “city boy” who has been sent to town to persuade him to sell the land to a real estate developer – said boy’s father – and the newcomer’s scent soon drives him crazy. Not to mention the lust he feels, and both ring major alarm bells in the sheriff’s mind. Too bad there is nothing much he can do… and I had great fun watching him try to wriggle his way out of it!

Connor is the youngest of three sons and ever since he came out to his family, his father treats him like dirt, and while one brother and Connor’s mother stick with him, the other brother is as bad as his dad. Connor gets all the sh*tty jobs, no recognition, and when he is sent to Falcon’s Ridge to persuade the owner of the land his father wants to finally sell, Connor is not exactly chomping at the bit. His first few encounters with Caleb, who prefers to be called Falcon and is the town sheriff, are hilarious. Connor falls in lust even knowing he can’t stay – or can he?

Falcon will never sell his ancestral lands in northern Georgia. He and his clan love it there and money, to them, is not everything. The lust he feels for Connor is stronger than anything he has ever experienced before, but Falcon is determined not to give in. Until his inner bear leaves him no choice… and Falcon needs his grandmother’s advice to figure things out. Not that there is much to figure – a mate bond is a mate bond and separation is dangerous. Not that Connor knows this, and Falcon refuses to tell him, so they have to learn the hard way.

If you like shifter stories, if a bearshifter and a city-bound human seem like an interesting couple, and if you’re looking for a fun read that has a good balance between humor and heat, then you will probably like this novella.
