[Siren Allure: Erotic Paranormal Romance, shape-shifters, light consensual BDSM, HEA] Never mess with the fates... Rebecca Hastings has no intention on settling down with some overpossessive shifter. This fledgling guardian witch might need to have sex to awaken her powers, but surely anyone will do? When Lion Shifter Leon Friars interrupts her outdoor tryst with the college heart throb, she is simultaneously relieved and shocked. This sex-on-legs hunk can't be the boy she grew up with. This Protector makes her want to forget all of her plans, and just submit, and that will never do. Being mated to Rebecca had not been in Leon's plans either, but his lion has spoken. When Rebecca denies the bond between them, a heartbroken and furious Leon allows her to run away. The fates will not be denied, however, and when Rebecca returns years later, Leon has to decide whether he can ever trust her again. Is it too little, too late, or does love conquer all - fates included? ** A Siren Erotic Romance
Doris O’Connor gives us another winner in “Her Lion Protector”. She’s a master of shifter novels. They’re hot and sexy, and they’re funny and sweet as well. Her heroines are always strong, independent women, and her heroes? GAH! Handsome, protective, smoking hot Alphas who will do anything to make sure the women they love feel secure and treasured. I’ve never NOT fallen head over heels for one of her heroes.
Rebecca is a young witch whose powers have yet to be awakened. As a matter of fact, in order for that to happen, she has to have sex, but not with just anybody. It has to be her true mate. Because she doeesn’t want to be tied down, she tries to circumvent that, and decides to have sex with a handsome college boy who is completely unconcerned with her pleasure and is an honest to goodness prick. Leon, a lion shifter, and Rebecca’s true mate, rushes in to save her from this brute, runs the jerk off, and takes Rebecca to his house to make sure she’s alright and get her cleaned up. Because I’m not going to give any spoilers, I’ll just say that some things happen that aren’t too pleasant, and Rebecca leaves. When she returns home several years later, she’s a different person, and so is Leon.
That’s where the story really takes off. It’s exciting and a little angsty…just enough to move the plot along. You’ll be caught up in everything and not want to put the book down until you’ve finished. Rebecca begins to find herself, and Leon is so delightfully noble. Of course, I can’t go without mentioning the sex scenes. Doris really gives them all she’s got. They’re SO hot, and they’re so detailed. Absolutely nothing is left to the imagination, and wow! Just…wow!
This is the fourth installment in the “Protectors” series. It can be read as a stand alone, but the previous three are so good, I recommend that you check them all out. They’re all full of fantastic main characters, quirky background characters, and a lovely town that would be the perfect place to stop by and visit.
