One of my favourites in the series. Gordon is an elephant with a sad past. He has isolated himself emotionally because he fears what his animal is capable of.  He is not seeking his mate, or is he just afraid to find them? Grady is a tiger and a detective who is seeking his mate.  Gordon is a psychiatrist treating the shifters who have been freed from captivity and experiments/torture/murder.  The wolf alpha assists Gordon to contact Grady so Gordon can look at the site of the captivity.  Gordon and Grady meet and Grady instantly recognises this is his mate.  Gordon doesn't acknowledge it at first.  Grady bides his time.  When Gordon acknowledges they are mates but then instantly rejects the possibility of actually mating Grady bides his time - after all, cats like to stalk their prey.  They are attacked and Gordon saves his tiger when he is tranqued and forced to shift - he kills one poacher, hurts another and takes his tiger to safety (the wolf pack).  Gordon's past haunts him: his father left his human mother; his elephant killed people; his mother betrayed him - can Grady convince his elephant that his tiger purrs only for him?These two are cute together, the chemistry is apparent on the page.  One of my favourites - the other one is Jared's story.  We meet Jared/Tanis when Grady asks the assassin to look into Gordon's past.  Jared knows about shifters because Grady had to shift to save them in war. Jared's story isGoading the Enforcer (Wolves of Stone Ridge)When I want a nice happy read than makes me go "awwwww" I choose one of the two books above from this series.  Or I turn to the Brac Pack series and choose one of the following four:Hawk's Pretty Baby [Brac Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove)Nutter Nero [Brac Pack 12] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove)Montana's Vamp [Brac Pack 16] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove)orCarter's Tryck [Brac Pack 17] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) (Brac Pac: Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic Manlove)
