Review: Predator's Claim by Rosanna Leo

Each one of the Gemini Island Shifters series just gets better and better. Each one is a bit more intense, more romantic. Maybe it’s because I know the characters from earlier books so I feel a certain connection to them, maybe it’s being more invested in the series, who knows. I just know I like each one a little bit more than the last one.

We’ve watched Bart and Charlotte circle each other in the past stories. It’s about time they finally got it together and got together. We finally find out why Charlotte keeps everyone at arm’s length. It’s a heart-wrenching story. Don’t worry, nothing violent happened to her, she just had heartache early on and it left an impression on her.

We also get to see Bart finally take charge. He’s been surly, grumpy and basically a bear to everyone around him. Everyone at the lodge knows why he’s so surly. They just need to get Bart to realize why.

Everything comes to a head and Bart does what he must. He protects his pack and Charlotte. He would do anything for them. Anything.

I love Bart and Charlotte. I was so glad to get their story. They’ve been avoiding each other and snarking at each other for the longest time. It was wonderful to see them get together. And they were amazingly hot together. Bart is an alpha-wolf all the way around, in the bedroom and out of it. All that alpha-maleness led to an explosive joining of Bart of Charlotte. I thought my kindle was going to burn up.

I’m loving this series. I can’t wait for the next one. I’m really curious which story we’re getting next.

Review: Predator's Refuge by Rosanna Leo

Gemini Island….A safe haven for shifters. They’re free to be themselves and find their way. Have a little fun.

Anton has come to Gemini Island to start over. He’s royalty but has no plans to claim the throne. In fact, he would rather it all went away.

Marci has worked at Ursa Lodge for years. She’s always been awkward and she’s a late bloomer. She’s finally come into her lynx and she’s been trusted to run the lodge.

The problem? Marci’s lynx is in heat and wants Anton. Anton however won’t give in to Marci. He’s afraid to. He wants her, oh how he wants her, but he won’t do it!

New problem? Someone is attacking the shifters on the island, including Marci.

I love Marci’s lynx! That is one wild cat. She knows what she wants and will do anything to get it. Now she just has to get Anton to agree.

The chemistry between Anton and Marci leapt off the pages. They were so hot together. I found myself wanting to take a 2x4 to Anton! He was so stubborn! What is up with these stubborn men! But, once he gave in, it was HOT HOT HOT!

The mystery of the attacks on the shifters added a layer to the story and gave us some tension. The tension added to the story. It gave Anton the push he needed. The tension of the attacks didn’t over power the story of Marci and Anton, it enhanced it.

I’m loving this series. I’m looking forward to another story from Rosanna Leo. She just needs to write faster!

Review: Predator's Kiss by Rosanna Leo

Paranormal romances are so much fun. There is so much you can do with them. You are not bound by the constraints of working with only full human characters. In Predator’s Kiss author Rosanna Leo takes advantage of those allowances and gave readers and amazing bear-shifter stories.

There are not many bear-shifter stories out there. Most shifter stories I’ve found revolve around wolf-shifters and large cat-shifters. One of the fun things about bear-shifter stories is their contradictory nature. They’re usually cantankerous and set in their ways. However, once they find that one person, they’re cuddly and protective!

Ryland is no exception to this! He’s a loner (for the most part), set in his ways, and wants no part of humans. When Lia literally runs into Ryland and his brother (as bears no less), Ryland takes an instant like to her and HE HATES IT! Lia, bless her heart had to deal with being chased by paparazzi, a stalker and finding out about bear-shifters. Talk about a rough day!

Ryland and Lia’s courtship was fun to watch. They were both fighting different things while at the same time wanting each other. Ryland, being the big fuzzy bear he is, set out to protect Lia. When they finally give in to their simmering passion, it becomes white hot. They are so good together and the passion they feel for each other comes across very well.

The added tension of the stalker and paparazzi enhances the story beyond just a romance. I loved the ending. I was on the edge of my seat and was totally unprepared for who it was. I was completely surprised by that one!

I’m looking forward to the next book in this series as we once again have a bear shifter! This time it’s Ryland’s brother, Soren, who was a beautifully antagonistic brother in this story!
