Synopsis:
Sexy shifter
passion is awakened when two unlikely lovers are challenged by secrets, danger
and an unstoppable need to claim one's mate…
For
human Amy Francis, the secluded cabin in Deep Creek is the haven she needs to
map out a fresh new start. She never expected her heart to be reawakened by a
distraction like Griff Martin, commanding yet gentle, too ferociously sensual
to ignore. It's clear that patrolling the forest is more than a job to
Griff—it's a means of survival. But what Amy doesn't realize is she's
reawakened the beast within him.
Griff's dormant hunger is stirred by this intoxicating woman…and threatened by the secret she must never learn. Duty-bound to defend his bear clan against an avenging pride of lion shifters, Griff's entire world is upended when he meets Amy. His animal need to claim his mate has taken hold, but that very desire could seal her fate as an unwitting pawn in battle.
Now, as a shifter war looms, Griff must decide between letting Amy go or following his most carnal instincts. To have her would change his life…but risk everything he knows and was born to protect.

*Previously published, newly revised by
author
The author does a fine job of presenting Amy as a woman who had some rough times but is taking her life back. She is strong without being angry and revengeful yet she still allows her soft side to show. With Griff, he is just a teddy bear that can do some serious damage if made angry. Persistent and unwilling to settle after some much needed considerations, he starts to take care of past issues so he can have a future.
This book is about letting revenge eat you up so all that is left is anger and hate. But it is also about letting go, making amends, and love.
I give this 3-1/2 STARS because I felt that the story needed a little more refining.

In
a world where humans don’t know mermaids exist, Mari leaves her home in the
ocean to escape her mother, her betrothed, and her tribe’s expectations in
order to make a go of independence on land. Chase, former Navy diver and
self-appointed curmudgeon-who-isn’t-worthy-of-love, lost his brother in a freak
diving accident and now fears the ocean he once loved.
Mari’s a mermaid with a plan. She has to get the sexy bartender, Chase, to remain on the island so she can get him into her bed. Trouble is, he’s afraid of the water and there’s a hurricane coming. But with Mari's betrothed on the rampage over a centuries-old vendetta, the storm isn't the worst thing they'll have to face.

Nika,
the pack’s newest scout, wants nothing more than to please his Alpha. When he
discovers a beautiful, and very sick, stranger in the woods outside Los Lobos,
he finds himself torn between his duty and his hormones. The stranger carries a
deadly wolf virus—one that hasn’t been seen in the Black Hills in ages.
Kimi, a Lakota Sioux, is dying. She’s transported herself forward in time, hoping to find the cure to the illness that’s stricken her tribe. Her only chance for survival is to trust Nika, even if she’s not used to having help.
To find the cure and save the pack, Nika and Kimi must travel to a time long ago—before the Lakota populated the Black Hills—a time filled with dangers neither can imagine. Their growing attraction may save them, or kill them both.

Kerry loves history and spends large amounts of time
wondering about people who lived and walked on Earth in the past. She’s a mom
to three daughters, six cats, and various small animals. Her husband says she’s
a marketer’s dream, as she often believes everything she hears—at least
initially. Her shoe horde will attest to her fine shopping skills.
In addition to writing, Kerry loves to sew (costumes and
cosplay, especially), draw, paint, make chainmail, and play guitar.
Her new love is her Mini Cooper Convertible, Sheldon, and
they have already gone on many adventures. They travel to as many concerts as
they can–especially Green Day and Marilyn Manson.
