Detective Ryan Kennedy is on sick leave, pretending to be a
casualty of the Detroit Flu, while trying to find where the
virus is hidden and remove the guilty party from the streets.
He's convinced the werewolf pack is responsible, but he
cannot tell his superiors, as they don't know he's a bear
shifter, let alone that it's shifter politics. The daughter
of the wolves' alpha, Francesca - Frankie - Wolf also wants
to put an end to the artificially induced illness, and when
she and Ryan meet, they agree that uniting their efforts
might be more productive. But the wolves musn't know of
Frankie's involvement, and Ryan is not thrilled at having to
follow her lead.
I knew that Ryan's story would be terrific, because he's
such an intriguing character, and I can only say that I am
thrilled at how TAMING HER MATE turned out. Each book of the
amazing Grizzlies
Gone Wild works as a standalone paranormal
romance, but it's the story arc of the Detroit Flu that had
captured my imagination from the beginning. With every
installment, I feel like I'm coming home, even if it's
dangerous. How can one describe adequately those two
admirably crafted characters; how does one convey the
excitement at watching such an intricate story unfold? Very
poorly, I'm afraid, as it becomes more challenging to
explain how Kathy Lyons distances herself from more
traditional shifter romances. The exceptional story arc
functions in each book as the foundation for a unique
romance, reaching far beyond the typical "meet-mate-HEA" of
the genre.
Ryan is my favorite kind of hero: a beta male who is
protective and powerful. He is torn between wanting to do
his job, but hampered by circumstances out of his control,
and his attraction to a woman who is theoretically the
enemy. Frankie is a stupendous heroine, with strong pack
loyalties but not blind to her family's failings; she is as
far from a damsel in distress as you could ever come across;
she is not perfect, but she is fabulous. Amidst the crisis,
the romance slowly blooms between our protagonists, who have
meaningful conversations. And isn't it wonderful to behold a
couple consumed with lust, uncertain of their future, and
still cool-headed enough to remember their priorities. I
very much appreciated that rarity of villains with such
multifaceted personae. TAMING HER MATE is a gripping
suspense that also happens to be a lovely paranormal
romance, another instalment in a series that becomes more
impressive with each book. I don't know what Kathy Lyons has
in store for us next, but I know it will be amazing!
Can a Bear and a Wolf save a city? Not if passion
overwhelms them in this action-packed, sexy race against
time
Detective Ryan Kennedy doesn’t have time for distractions.
As the only bear shifter on the police force, he’s
responsible for investigating the cause of the mysterious
flu-like illness that’s ravaging the citizens of Detroit.
But when the beautiful daughter of a rival clan’s alpha asks
for his help, Ryan realizes that this distraction holds the
key to stopping the virus. If only he can focus on the case
and not on how much he wants to kiss the enemy.
Francesca Wolf knows who’s poisoning the city, and she has a
plan to take him down, but it will only work if Ryan follows
her lead. Frankie’s strong, passionate spirit makes her slow
to ask for help, but time is running out and the sexy-as-sin
cop won’t submit to her demands. Instead, he’s giving her
orders and firing up her passions just when she needs to
stay calm. They’ll have to work together—as equals—to save
the city, to keep each other alive, and to contain a hunger
that might just burn the whole city to the ground.
