Worried about her next paycheck, the last person she expects to see is Ethan Sanford. Grown up and successful, he filled out his suit to perfection. What happened to the skinny and aloof Ethan from high school?<br \/>\nWhen Ethan Sanford catches a whiff of the curvaceous Lena, he stops in his tracks. Forbidden from touching her all those years ago, he and his big bad lion aren\u2019t going to let her escape again. Unable to deny the burning attraction any longer, he invites her upstairs with more than a drink on his mind. Overcome by his desire and with a flash of canines, Ethan takes Lena as his mate.<br \/>\nLena never thought she\u2019d be the type of woman to sleep with her soon to be boss, and makes a quick exit in the morning. Pining over Ethan, she heads to a diner with her best friend to talk it over. Soon, her sudden cravings for meat puts her friend in the war path of a first time she-cat shift.<br \/>\nEthan is not happy to find his mate missing when he wakes. Will Ethan manage to find and calm the new lioness before she puts the entire city on the menu?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Lena has had a rough day.\u00a0 She gets fired for standing up for herself and now its raining on all of her belongings.\u00a0 When she happens to enter the building that Ethan, her long time high school crush, works she can&#8217;t help but feel angry at the world.\u00a0 But, when Ethan sees Lena he is overcome with joy knowing that he finally has a chance to claim his mate.\u00a0 Soon the two are mating and Lena doesn&#8217;t know what to do.\u00a0 When Lena finally discovers what Ethan is and who she has become will she be able to accept him and his love for her?<br \/>\nThis was quite the erotic romance.\u00a0 This book will make every woman who ever had a high school crush hope that he secretly loves her and is a sexy shifter.\u00a0 Ethan and Lena were good characters but I would have liked more depth in this story.\u00a0 It is a short and quick novel, but I think more could have developed.\u00a0 I thought the sex and relationship may have happened to fast.\u00a0 More detail and excitement could have been added.\u00a0 Overall, this was a good read\u00a0 that will add steam to your e-reader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back for part two of our Fourth of July celebration.\u00a0 We have a sexy paranormal romance for you.\u00a0 Fated for the Lion by Lyra Valentine brings a sexy lion shifter and his mate who is a human.\u00a0 This is definitely a page burner.\u00a0 For my full review, keep reading after the book blurb.\u00a0 Enjoy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[172,517,557,931,984,1174],"class_list":["post-4295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-bbw","tag-erotic","tag-fated-for-the-lion","tag-lion-shifter","tag-lyra-valentine","tag-paranormal-romance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
