At the beginning of the story, Shannon Rafferty is a woman in crisis. She witnessed her boyfriend's murder and is on the run from the bad guys. Luckily for her, she is also a cougar shifter. She is able to survive without a lot of the same things a human woman would need, like clothing. One of the things I like about Shannon is her resiliency. She is able to survive while staying in her cougar form longer than most cougar shifters, and she's able to defend herself well.
Chase Buchanan is the sexy, incredibly sweet lawman she runs into. Chase is a dream. Although he is in law enforcement just as her former boyfriend was, the similarity ends there. Her ex was controlling and into illegal activity, while Chase is such a good guy. From the first moment the two meet, he tries to protect and care for her. He takes her into his home and provides her with sanctuary but never forces her to stay. He seduces her by showing how much he genuinely cares about her. Her safety and happiness is his main concern. Both have known violence and tragedy involving family and loved ones. There is a real sense, in COUGAR'S MATE, that it was fate that they met at this particular time, and as the people they are now.
Chase's buddies -- Hal, Dan, and Stryker -- are all great guys and I look forward to reading stories about them in future books. They are all tough, former military types, but they all have a wonderful caring side. I love the way the entire town took Shannon in and supported her like one of their own. The town and the feeling of community and family it provides Shannon are almost equally as seductive as Chase's charms. COUGAR'S MATE is an exciting paranormal romance with a strong heroine and a sweet, sexy hero!
Book Summary
Cougar’s Mate: Instinct told her to run… Shannon Rafferty learns that hanging out with the bad boys could be a dangerous business, but hooking up with a cop is even worse. Now she’s on the run, trying to avoid being murdered by his cougar shifter brothers and uncle. If that isn’t bad enough, a deputy sheriff hunts her down while she’s running as a cougar and trying to survive in the Colorado wilderness. He vows to protect her no matter what she’s done. With three dead boyfriends to her name, she’s sure she will be the death of Chase Buchanan before either of them can prevent it. No matter how much she knows she has to run again, he soon holds her heart hostage. But will that be enough to keep them both alive? Chase Buchanan—as wilderness cabin resort owner, former US Army Special Forces, and part time deputy of the small town of Yuma, Colorado that boasts a love of cougars—is tasked to track down a cougar reported to be hunting human prey. Chase soon learns she’s a shifter, not a full-time cougar, and she’s on the run. When he takes her in, he vows to protect her. After losing his wife and baby to the human kind of predator years earlier, he’s not letting Shannon’s hunters kill her, too. But how is he going to hold onto the wild-cat woman, who is unpredictable at every turn, without losing his heart to her, and then losing her as well?
