SOME HEARTS ARE MEANT TO BE, EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW IT YET...

He's the big bad Alpha husband she never wanted. She's a sharp tongued tigress with really dangerous curves.

Laura Hisch can't believe she's marrying him. Him!

She's not cut out for the brutish, tough talking, tattooed head of the Denali werebear clan. If only she wasn't bound by a pesky old treaty with an arranged marriage clause...

One look at the voluptuous lady from Tiger Bay drives James Roark insane. Obsession, passion, and hunger only have one cure. He's got to make the sweet stubborn werecat at the altar his wife for real.

If only he knew marriage is just a ruse for her real mission. Get close to him, find his weakness, and then give Tiger Bay everything it needs to drive the bears away once and for all.

Easy, right? Wrong. Yielding her heart to this bad boy means betrayal, and either James or her clan are going to pay big time.

Will James turn a sham marriage into something beautiful – or will loving Laura lead to all out war? And if that's not complicated enough, there's a jealous female werebear standing by to make sure these fated mates never become one.

Note: This BBW shifter romance is packed with love, betrayal, and language wilder than a tiger-bear brawl! Curl up with something comfortable and furry. These fated mates have got a long, stormy road ahead...

My Review:

Excitement and romance, tigers and bears come out the woods in this riveting shifter romance. Denali Alpha, James Roark knew his marriage to the beautiful sharp tongued tigress, Laura Hisch is just a ruse to for her real mission, but his hunger and obsession only has one cure, making the sweet stubborn werecat his wife for real. Will James be able to turn a sham of marriage into something beautiful or will loving Laura lead to all out war?

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on their toes with lots of suspense, drama, action and romance.  The author describes the story with well written details that capture the imagination and the action scenes are believable and exciting.  The strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The attraction between Laura and James radiates lots of red hot passion from every page and the sex scenes are hot enough to scorch the reader.  The relationship however, gets off to a bad start and it takes a lot of sweat and hard work to even get to an understanding.  There is a lot of prejudice between the bears and tigers which makes for some emotional turmoil, dangerous attitudes and downright meanness. The reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as the romance progresses and tension builds as danger escalates not only threatening the fragile truce between the tigers and bears, but from a jealous she bear out to cause a massive amount of trouble.

The author has created a story that grips the heart as this couple struggle to find a way to destroy old prejudices and find their happily ever after.  I must say that I really enjoyed the jealous she bear’s punishment (she deserves it) and the great ending to this fascination story. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story from the very beginning, though there were a couple of instances where the scenes shifted a little abruptly, but they were minor in the overall enjoyment of the story.
