Grizzlies Gone Wild #6, The conclusion to the Detroit Flu/Bears vs. Wolves story arc. I didn't realize that when I first started reading and felt lost so I went back and read the previous two and got all caught up. I love this series, I love the slow process between bear to man it takes them mentally, especially when they have been bear for too long or how they can't shift more than once a day unless you're a powerful alpha and now one of the hybrid shifters, assuming they didn't go crazy. The poison being dumped into the water supply activates dormant shifter DNA causing anyone with the latent gene to become a hybrid shifter, with it comes the risk of brain damage and unless they can figure the shift out they die. When shifters drink the water it amps up their already existing powers especially in the undiluted form.

Detective Ryan Kennedy, who just days ago was about to be killed by his alpha, is about to break the case about where the wolves are dumping the poison in the water when he gets attacked by two wolf shifter jacked up on the poison making them stronger and more vicious. Francesca Wolf is the daughter of the wolf pack Alpha, she knows who is really behind this and has been trying to stop them and get the pack to support her. Frankie is able to save Ryan but just barely, now the two are working together to stop the responsible party. But between the lust and his bear wanting to mate with Frankie and the fact that Ryan wants to take down everyone responsible and Frankie who wants just the one person behind it all to be held responsible, oh, and Frankie thinking she can handle it on her own they are fighting an uphill battle.

The relationship between Ryan and Frankie steams up the pages. But they are both uncertain if they can even mate bond because he's a bear and she's a wolf. I enjoyed the pairing between Frankie and Ryan they were a good match.

Overall, fantastic book. Kathy Lyons with the whole series has created addictive storylines, characters you care about, a great mysteries, and a steamy romance. I loved the whole series and I really hope it's not over yet.

Shy and reserved, good girl Ellie McDonald is determined to break out of her shell–and her relationship rut. First order of business, woman up and finally ask her longtime secret crush, Jake Armstrong on an old-fashioned date. She's not at all his type–which is great. Once Jake turns her down she can finally move on. Except he says yes...

MVP short-stop Jake Armstrong has tried to keep his bad boy nature under wraps. But there's nothing he likes more than tempting sweet Ellie to the dark side. No one need know.

But when the hotel catches fire and their rescue–while nearly naked–is caught on camera, the two have a PR problem. Jake's solution is a fake relationship, just for the season. Only for Ellie, there's nothing fake about it…

From USA Today bestselling author Kathy Lyons comes a sexy new enemies-to-lovers shifter romance.

Hard-bodied and military-trained shifter Hank Coleman will always do what's best for the clan. With a mysterious virus ravaging the city and transforming anyone with shifter DNA into dangerously unstable hybrids, that means asking a human scientist for help. Hank knows that getting Dr. Cecilia Lu involved will mean exposing the shifter world and his black bear self, but it's the animal attraction that sparks between them that could be the real danger.

Cecilia trusts data and what she can see with her own two eyes. So when the hottest man she's ever met transforms into a bear right in front of her, she has no choice but to accept that shifters are real. And with hybrids attacking humans and shifters turning on their own kind, Hank and Cecilia have zero time to fight the desire that's burning hotter by the minute. But war is brewing between the shifters, and Cecilia will be forced to choose between the world of men . . . and the world of her sexy beast.

This Grizzlies Gone Wild romance is a thrilling ride with death defying suspense and a sizzling romance. This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with essential events, adrenaline pumping intrigue and surprising twists. The Detroit Flu is taking its toil and the shifters have a radical idea that has Hank doing the unthinkable which pulls Dr. Cecilia Lu into the shifter world and that just the beginning of the non-stop events that take place in this romance as it keeps readers hanging on to the edge of their seat and unable to put this book down.

Cecilia and Hank are two strong and captivating characters that have undeniable chemistry but lots of monumental obstacles to overcome during their suspenseful romance. The passion is hot and steamy but his relationship takes an emotional toll on the couple, especially as Cecilia gets a pretty rough introduction into the shifter world and what it means to be with such a sexy and rugged bear shifter. And if that’s not enough to keep readers enthralled in the story, the wolves decide they want a piece of Cecilia as well which adds even more turbulence to the story.

This series has just gotten wilder as it answers some questions but adds a few major twists that has war brewing between the shifters and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the way Cecilia and Hank handled everything that was thrown their way.

It's been said that opposites attract. Sliding Home takes that common occurrence and runs with it in the sweetest of ways. Kathy Lyons pulls at the heart while keeping hormones on full alert. Ellie is an introvert with a kind heart and little less confidence. Jake is an extrovert with a boisterous nature but a heart no less kind. They shouldn't fit, but they do. They bring out the best in each other. He encourages her to take risks and she helps him tone down. Along the way each becomes more secure in their skin and their hopes for the future. Cute read.

After being abruptly kicked out of the military for being outed as a shifter, Simon has spent the past 10 months living as a bear. When Alyssa tracks him down for help, he’s not ready to deal yet, but he’s eventually pulled in to help her in Detroit where the shifter community is up in arms.

This was a decent book. It literally starts off with a bang:) The author spent a lot of time building Simon’s inner-conflict as a shifter, something most shifter books don’t really spend much time with. It keeps moving at a steady pace. Both characters were well written. The book ends kind of of with a cliffhanger. I recommend.
