Blurb: PHOTO DESCRIPTION:13768753
The picture is a close-up of a gorgeous Native American man. His long, black hair moves with the wind and flows against his right shoulder. His dark eyes are looking straight at you, and you can almost feel them on your skin. His arms are crossed on his hairless chest, and there’s a barbed wire tattoo wrapped around his upper right arm. His plump, pink lips are highlighted by the dark stubble on his cheeks.
STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,

I have never ventured far from home. Being a shifter keeps me from becoming a part of society, but it seems that society is beginning to infringe on my territory. They, the humans, are all so full of themselves and think they are entitled to my land. But there is one man, who stands up to the others, who stands on his own… he draws my attention. Why?

Sincerely,

Raevyn

P.S. I would prefer a non-wolf shifter, but something strong. I would like for the human to be a smaller, more flamboyant man. Please no rape or torture. And I really want an HEA.

Review: I found myself chuckling a few times throughout this story with Kangee’s, a raven shifter, brooding and Jase’s nonstop comments. It’s not a normal pack story per se but more of two people getting to know one another and discovering who they truly are. I loved both MC’s in this book as they seemed opposites.

I also loved the fact that Rangee’s raven courted Jase when Kangee seemed unsure. These two seemed to really hit it off after a while and I so enjoyed reading about them. I just wish the story had been longer.

Sweet short story with lots of attitude that I loved.

Great read.

Blurb: Sometime you just have to trust that someone else knows what’s best for you.

Xavier’s life has gone to hell. Not only has his ex-boyfriend’s stalker attacked him, but in order to keep him safe he’s being sent to the Gillham pack. It wouldn’t be too bad, if not for the small detail that he hadn’t known shifters existed before that! He’s not sure what he can expect from them, but he doesn’t have a choice. When he meets Andy, he’s weirdly attracted to the man, but Xavier knows he’s not good enough for him.

Andy doesn’t want to play babysitter for Xavier, at least not until he meets him and realizes the man is his mate. He knows he’s going to have a hard time convincing Xavier to at least give their bond a chance, and that’s not counting the other problems their relationship will have to face.

The two mates will have to navigate angry families and the ever-present lab problem, and still Andy isn’t sure he’ll be able to help his mate get over his low self-esteem long enough to give him a chance.

Review: Each book in the Gillham Pack collection will feature a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This is in fact a spinoff from the Whitedell Pride collection. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved.

I love the way Catherine can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by this author.

Xavier had been in love with Andrew. That is until Andrew broke up with him. Andrew was with Soren now, but it made Xavier feel even worse. He thinks that he should not be with anyone because he is a bit on the short side and a little over weight.

So when Andrew’s stalker comes after him, the shifters thought it might be better if he was on shifter lands for safety. Then they got the idea of sending him to the Gillham pack. Right before he left though, he was told about them being shifters. What does he do, he faints twice. Talk about things going crazy.

Then he meets Andy.

Andy was not pleased that he was going to take a day or two off from the garage to babysit some human. That is until he gets his eyes on Xavier and finds out that he is his mate. Of course he doesn’t do things easy, hell he scared the hell out of his mate when he shifted twice. With the dangers going on around them he will do everything he can in his power to keep him safe. Then they are sent in on a rescue mission, what they find shocks them silly. Life as they know it is about to change.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Catherine puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Now when I think tiger shifter, I think total alpha and very dominate. In this case I was totally wrong. Soren is fierce in protecting what is his, but he is more the funny man of the group. His Alpha has asked him to protect a friend. He finds out soon after that Andrew is his mate. And his mate had a boyfriend. Wow, this is going to be fun.

Andrew is not only human, but a lawyer. So you think stuffy old bird, but damn this guy has an attitude that would make any one itch to smack him. However he has a stalker, who just happens to be a shifter. Now he needs help, but damn he wasn’t sure what to think of the gorgeous shifter in front of him.

Then he finds out Soren is his mate, and he is turned the hell on. Now if only he could get rid of the man stalking him. Then he finds out that he might not be completely human after all. Wow. And all in one week.

This book just grabs your attention from the moment you start reading and keeps it there till you have read every word. They will also have you laughing at some parts of the story. Although most of it is tone in a serious tone, there is quite a bit of hint of humor that makes it perfect. I love how the characters are beautifully written with big hearts, but if you cross them there is hell to pay. They will protect the men they love and their family with all they have in them.

This book gave me everything I could ask for in a story and so much more. I loved this one and cannot wait for the next amazing story. I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story.

I love the way Catherine Lievens can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Catherine.

Adrian lost all of his family except for his brother. He would do anything for the man and has proven it. When Gabe was kidnaped and held, Adrian had to do a job he hated to find a way to get his brother back. He was a geneticist and had been forced to turn humans into shifters. It didn’t go down the way they thought though.

Oliver had been one of those who had been shifter and Adrian had helped to make it a bit easier. For doing that he had been forgiven by almost all of the pack except for his mate. He knew that by quitting he was probably going to get his brother killed, but he couldn’t do it anymore. He knew that the pack would help him, even if it meant he was going to see his mate. A mate that did not want him and hated him.

Adrian couldn’t be more wrong. Joshua had many issues and one of them was that his sister had been kidnapped and experimented on. He had lost her, but wasn’t sure that he could be a mate to someone like those who had killed his sister. All that changed when Adrian left the company and the company hunted him down. He had to save his mate and to decide if he wants him enough to forget what he did.

This story has a bit of a twist to it that I loved. Especially the squirrel, which had me giggling through most of it.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

There is something about the way that Catherine tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect the ones they love with all that they have. I had a blast reading this story.

Jeremy has been a single dad for three years, since his ex-wife had stated she didn’t want him and took off. He loved his son but some days Adam was a lot to handle. Which is how he ended up taking Jeremy with him to the store. Thank goodness for the sweet young man helping him. Although the man who was with Jaime was downright hot. Now isn’t that a surprise, he is not gay but damn this man turns him on.

Denver was only with the pride to help them with security, so when he met his mate, he tried to stay away. It wasn’t till Jeremy accidently started the mating process that Denver knew he had to get to know his mate. That and learn about children real fast, cause damn a three-year-old can move fast. When Jeremy’s ex shows up wanting her son, things are about to heat up real fast. It would seem his ex had a secret of her own. Denver knew he would do everything to keep his mate and new son safe.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the others in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Catherine puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a just a touch of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

Review: This is part of the Whitedell Pride series and they need to be read in order. Each story is about a new romantic couple. Catherine has an amazing way of giving you a story that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your lip, bouncing and turned the hell on. I love the way you can just feel the heat and love that these men have for each other.

I have always loved the paranormal world and when it is surrounded by romance, danger, excitement and a bit of suspense, just makes it even more tempting to read. Finn and Bryce are mates, but Bryce was in love with another. He knew he shouldn’t go back to the manor but he had to try. Although he was getting to the point of never going back to save his heart. He had been sold by his clan leader to the scientist and saved by the shifters. He had known on sight that he belonged to Bryce, but his heart knew to give him the happiness he had to let him go.

Bryce knew he was hurting those around him. His lover broke up with him and Finn was avoiding him. Although he didn’t blame to the little nix. He would avoid him also. It had finally set in that he did indeed want his mate. Now just to convince him of that. He sure had a lot of ass to kiss. He also had to keep him safe from his clan leader and those who wanted them dead.

I had a blast reading this amazing story and look forward to reading many more books by this author. It is a fascinating story that will have you wanting to hear more. You can tell when an author puts her heart into what she is writing and this is one of them.

The amount of danger that these men go through has your breath catching and hoping for the best. It gave me all that I could possibly want in a story and so much more. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. In fact when it comes to Catherine’s books I am always sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one to come out. Anticipation is part of my book world it would seem.

I would recommend reading this book. It will give you gorgeous men, shifters, magical creatures, excitement, suspense, action, hot sex, and dangerous situations. Trust me you will love reading this book.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Whitedell Pride series and they should be read in order. Each story gives you a new romancing couple but the stories mingle with the previous books. The characters are beautifully written with quite a lot of heart and soul put into them. They also usually have a bit of pain in them that will draw you to them more. These two characters in this story are great examples of that. In this particular story Casey is the more dominant of the two shifters. However, there is just something about him that makes you love him a bit more.

Nolan is pretty much a black house cat shifter and a bit confused. It is actually funny with the way he is. He had been captured and held for three months in a lab. He had been experimented on when a guard with a heart saved him by helping him escape. He is found by a little old lady who thought he was just a normal cat. Although she is a larger shifter, she doesn’t realize what he is. She took him to a big house full of shifters and one very big surprise. He has found his mate, but now this is the funny part. He has never liked sex, so after having a talk with his mother he finds out why.

Casey had been kicked out of his pride for being gay. His parents had been killed saving him. Now he has been living with the Whitedell pride and was happy for the first time in his life. Even more happy when he smells his mate. They have their normal troubles at first but that sure does change after Nolan’s talk with his mother, but they seem to have more trouble coming for them.

I had a blast reading this story. It gave me almost everything I could want in a book. It gave me sexy men, the amazing paranormal world, shifters, excitement, lots of action and adventure, dangerous situations, crazed alpha’s, angst, huge families with crazy kids and lots of amazingly hot sex. I would recommend reading this story if you love all of that and so much more.

Nate is the pride’s Beta, and as Beta, he has to follow the unspoken rules that exist in the shifter community. He wasn’t looking for a mate, and he certainly didn’t think his mate would be a wolf shifter. Not that he has anything against wolf shifters, but this one brings way too many problems with him.

Derick’s Alpha knows what he has done, and he plans to make him pay. When Derick is kidnapped, Nate has to decide if he wants to play by the rules and risk his mate, or if he’s going to save Derick, risking a justified attack from the pack

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of a series and they need to be read in order. It was a fascinating story and I was glad to have had a chance to read it. I love the way the felines are actually sweeter then the wolves. They show so much promise and their love for one another makes it even better. Most packs and prides keep separated for some crazy reason, yet Nate’s pride takes in all feline shifters. I don’t think they ever expected to take in a wolf though.

Derick was not a strong wolf in fact I would say he is an omega, although they don’t really give him a title. However, when he heard his alpha talking to the beta’s he knew he had to step in. Here his alpha was talking about going after a group of feline shifters and he had to help them. He knew that if he got caught that his alpha would kill him and the chances that the felines would kill him on site was always there in his mind. What he had not expected was to find his mate.

Nate is a jaguar shifter and he has just found his mate. Now he had several things to do, one in which was to get his little mate to agree. Not only would it keep him safe in the pride but also he just wanted the man. Nate has one little problem and that is he works to hard. So it was up to Derick to show the man how to have fun.

I loved Nate but Derick won my heart. He is not as strong as the others are but he would give up his life to help a group of shifters he did not know. I also loved his quirky attitude and feisty ways. He is a great character that made the story so much better. I loved this book not only because it has two very sexy men, but feline shifters, wolf shifters, powerful alpha’s, feisty mates, danger, excitement and some hot love scenes. If you love all of that and more than you would love this book.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. I loved it and cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. It had captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.
