A Tiger's Claim (Shifters of Ashwood Falls, #2)

by Lia Davis

[Cocktails and Books]

A Tiger's Claim is book one in the Ashwood Falls series however there is a book 0.5, Winter Eve, and I while not necessary I would recommend reading it before A Tiger's Claim.

Lia Davis creates a unique world in which the wolf shifters and the leopard shifters have united as one pack to defend themselves from a rouge pack. In this world Shayna Andrews is the adopted daughter of the pack Alpha. She has always been treated as a princess and she is finding it smothering. When she gets upset and takes a long run she finds herself in a bad situation being attacked by the enemy. Enter our hero Travis Hunter, Travis was the alpha of a pack that was destroyed by the rouge pack. He just wants to protect his family. When he does a good deed and helps Shayna he gets a lot more than he bargained for when she turns out to be his true mate.

Ms. Davis gives us action, mystery, love and mating sex, it is a griping story line with plenty of secondary characters that are as fascinating as the main hero and heroine. The dynamics of the mixed pack, an adopted shifter of another breed, the former alpha of a decimated pack along with family dynamics, new relationship dynamics and hiding the secret of shifters from the world all works into a very enjoyable read that will leave you ready for the next in the series.
