Blurb:The Daughter of Beaston is hurting. Remington Novak is stuck in a city, her whole life altered for a man who didn’t keep her. A life change comes in many forms, but for Remi, it comes as a newspaper clipping, sent by her best friend. A Last Chance Crew up in the mountains is looking for help, and her skillset matches the requirements. Must like animals? She was a grizzly shifter. Must be okay with crass jokes? She was raised a Grey Back in one of the roughest Crews in existence. She could surely handle a few rowdy boys. When she shows up for the interview though, it’s clear she’s made a grave mistake. Kamp demands her inner bear’s attention immediately, but he’s dangerous to her body and soul. Something’s wrong with that lion shifter, and the more she tries to figure him out, the deeper she falls into a dangerous admiration for him and these mountains he’s claiming as home.
Kamp is out of options. His days are numbered in his Crew, his lion needs to be put down, and every day looks just the same. Wake up, fight the Alpha, fail at his job, sleep, repeat. He’s lost too much to recover, but one look at the fiery-eyed beauty, and this lion shifter lumberjack aching to change his destiny. It might already be too late, but now every day is worth fighting for just to see the growing smile on Remi’s face.
Two damaged shifters, one fate, one helluva mountain to climb to get this Crew to C-Team status. No one could’ve got him living again, but maybe…just maybe…the Novak Grizzly can save him.
Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets. Intended for mature audiences.
Favorite Quote:
It’s not a man’s job to make you work for his love. It’s his job to care for you as you are and never make you question your place in his life.
This book was nice. I wish we would have gotten a bit more background and/or went a little bit deeper into why The Last Chance Crew were the way they were. I feel like there might be another series that could shed some light on their backgrounds but I’m not sure which one it is. This author has a TON of shifter series out there.
Remington is a great heroine. She is strong willed and tough enough to hold her own physically against another shifter. Plus she isn’t intimidated by their lack of manners, hygiene or sleeping arrangements. She seems to enjoy a mystery and I think her father is a seer which makes sense since she just listens to him and goes to this remote location consisting of 4 trailer’s and 3 immature, violent and somewhat crazy shifters who are lazy and despondent. They did not make a good impression on me.
Kamp started out grouchy, introverted and confrontational. I found his back story fascinating and would have loved to have that drawn out more. I like how he responded to Remi’s tough love advice and went with it. His patience stood out as well which I found to be a pleasant surprise. It was like he found a reason to try again and even though that reason started out sexually, it progressed into a great emotional connection that really pulled the whole story together.
I’d read more from this author.
I am happy you at least got one good book in!
