(Off Goodreads)

From USA TODAY best-selling author Anya Karin writing as Lynn Red comes a steamy, seductive, hilarious and delicious alpha werebear romance. 

Curvy, witty, carrot-topped Violet Larue is a fox shifter with a goal – she NEEDS to find herself a mate before she goes absolutely nuts. 

After a string of bad relationships that left her heartbroken, and a bunch of dates that were more pie-in-the-face than swept-off-her-feet, Violet is just about ready to throw in the towel. She wants someone to chase her, to possess her, to make her his mate. 

Somehow convinced to attend the only cage fight she’s ever seen, Violet has no idea that she’s about to lay eyes on just the bear for her. 

Muscled, inked-up and one of the most dangerous fighters in the world, “Crag” Morgan is the bear of Violet’s dreams. With a dark past and an even darker present, love is nowhere near the top of Crag’s to-do list... until he’s looking around the crowd and catches a glimpse of a redhead with eyes that make his heart skip a beat. 

He is everything she ever wanted. A self-assured, massively powerful alpha with a waist just perfect for wrapping her legs around? Uh, yes please! But little does Violet know that in the split second Crag spied her in the audience, she stole his heart. The bad boy fighter decided then and there to do whatever it takes to claim her... forever.

Note: THE JAMESBURG SHIFTERS is a series of standalone novels each featuring a unique hero and heroine and a satisfying HEA ending. No cliffhangers here! Books can be enjoyed in any order you like!

My Review:

This intriguing paranormal romance is full of laughter and romance that makes the reader feel good.  Fox shifter Violet Larue needs to find a mate before she goes absolutely nuts.  When she’s convinced to attend the local cage fight, she finally finds the bear for her. Muscled, inked up and one of the most dangerous fighters in the world, “Crag” Morgan catches a glimpse a redhead with eyes that make his heart skip a beat in the crowd and vows to do whatever it takes to claim her… forever.

This steady to fast paced plot keeps readers well entertained with suspense, action, humor and romance.  The author paints a vivid picture of the story and characters that make the reader feel as if they are part of the story and really know the characters.  The characters are strong compelling characters with lots of quirky personalities that grab the attention and charm the reader.  The tension builds throughout the story as Crag tries to find a way out of his situation and also as young girls come up missing and it seems to follow the fighting events.

The attraction between Violet and Crag radiates from each and every page and the sex scenes are hot and steamy with the relationship being the center stage of the plot. The romance progresses with some emotional angst, but mostly with lots of chasing and humorous moments that leaves the reader with a happy feeling.

Jamesburg is the setting for a whimsical and charming group of shifters from all walks of life. Each characters personality resembles their animal making each and every stand out and causing quite a few chuckles. Although, I found the story to be a tiny bit choppy, it was an enjoyable read and the variety of characters also adds lots of spice to the story and the promise of future books to looks forward to and I can’t wait to read the next one.

About Lynn Red:

(Off Amazon)

Lynn doesn't love anything more than being wrapped up in a hammock with her corgi on her stomach and a pile of her favorite books to read. And by "pile of books" she means "a kindle."

She loves all sorts of romance, but especially ones that feature big, strong alphas who will stop at nothing to prove themselves to the women who melt their hearts.
