Winter Eve (Ashwood Falls, #0.5) ~~ 5 starsGreat introduction to Ashwood Falls. This was a great short story to get you pumped up for the Ashwood Falls series. I felt as though I was watching the scene unfold before my eyes as Lia told this awesome romantic shifter story. Ashwood Falls 101: Here are some facts to get you better acquainted. Ashwood Falls is a small Smokey Mountain town with a mixed pack - half wolf and half cat. Both packs were attacked over 200 years ago and over half of each pack was wiped out. They discovered together they could survive. In this pre-quell we meet several characters: Keegan (the pack alpha) and his children: Blaine, Shay and Danica - there could be more. The pack lawyer, Jared, and several enforcers: Cameron, Hayden, and Dane. The pre-quell focus around Danica's story. She is over 200 years old and lives in a cabin far from others. In this story we learn more about the accident that made her flee town and she finds her mate. Someone who also has an interested background. Want to know who her mate is? Read this story and you'll find out.A Tiger's Claim (Ashwood Falls, #1) ~~ 5 starsHer world changed forever when tiger claimed his wolf! Magnificent continuation of the shifter series -- Ashwood Falls! Be sure to read Winter Eve first, the prequel to this story. I loved the feel of running wild through the woods with Shay, Josie, and Travis. And now a little about the book...Shayna Andrews is the pack princess and she is suffocating! Her father won't let her run free and she is never alone. One day after a huge fight with her father, she took off in the woods and somehow left the den without her normal escorts. She was so mad she lost track of how far she ran and ended up face to face with the enemy. The half-man half-wolf mutants of the Onyx pack. Before the mutants were able to harm Shay too bad, Travis Hunter (former alpha of the Hunter Ridge pack) leaped to the rescue - literally. Shortly after they get back to his cabin and she is healed, her first heat cycle slams intoher. Unable to deny his attraction and hoping it is more than her heat cycle, Travis doesn't resist when she attacks him. He knows he has met his true mate, but the next morning she is still unsure.Run along with Shay and Travis as they try to protect Ashwood Falls. Meet Travis' daughter Josie. Will Shay claim Travis as hers? Her tiger accepted him right away, but will she? Will her over protective father and brothers? Ashwood Falls already has 2 alphas, will Travis fit in? Give this book a try and you will find out!Favorite quote: "You don't love me. You don't even know me. How can you just accept it?A Mating Dance (Ashwood Falls, #2) ~~ 5 starsCan I have this dance? I loved this story. I read it in just over 24 hours! I would have loved to be in the dance between Graham and Blaine! Two strong men and one very strong woman! This is the second full novel in the Ashwood Falls series, be sure to read the prequel and book #1 first - Winter Eve and A Tiger's Claim. In A Mating Dance we continue to get to know the members of the Ashwood Falls pack we met in the first two stories. We are introduced to a few new characters in this story - Addy, Graham, Sable. And now a little bit about the story ...Cam and Blaine have been dancing around each other for 16 years. She had gotten pregnant during her first heat cycle, but had lost the baby several months later. She was so scared of losing another child she had been afraid to commit to Blaine. In the mean time Graham Griffin, Nevan Matthew's stepbrother, has come to town to redesign the nursery and school. Graham is shocked by his attraction to Cam - he has never been attracted to a female before. His attraction to Blaine is less of a mystery. Can the three of them make it work? Will Blaine (a very strong alpha male) accept another male into his relationship? When two children are rescued from the rogue Onyx pack, Graham is excited to be reunited with his lover's children - but worried what happened to their father. Give this book a try to see what happens next!Favorite passage: ... he'd been forced to rely on his charm. Which, as Cam would have put it, was like a wet cat trapped inside of a plastic bag.Did you love Ashwood Falls as much as I do??  The next book in the series is Surrendering to the Alpha!!
