I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Laura Hisch is like the daughter and only child of the tiger alpha of Tiger Bay. Considered royalty among her clan it is her responsibility to uphold the old treaty with an arranged marriage clause. The problem is the marriage is to the rival bear clan alpha James Roark. What self respecting tigress would want to marry a man she considered to be an animal? Her father has a plan to take out the bear clan. All she has to do is stay married in name only for the next month. Laura is determined to do what she has to for her clan no matter how much she wants to run.Alpha James Roark was willing to play along with this farce of a marriage until he saw Laura walking down the isle. From his first look at her he knew he wanted her. He wasn't willing to just have a marriage in name with her. But could he convince her that he was worth the risk of going against the prejudices of both their clans?Although she tries to fight her attraction for him, Laura soon realizes that she wants James just as fiercely and needs to do whatever she can to stop her father. James decides that he will do anything to keep Laura as his mate.There were a few twists and turns thrown in throughout this book. I found that I liked that this wasn't your typical were mate romance. It wasn't clear from the beginning that they were fated to be together. I enjoyed James' personality. Even though he was prickly like his bear he was still pretty solid most of the time. I would have liked Laura to be a bit more aggressive. After all she is a tiger. Overall it was a quick, enjoyable read.
