Derek's Treasure: Steamy Cougar Shifter Paranormal Romance

Great relationship! Derek has always heard that there would be a 'true mate' for him but after years of looking he has given up. He's surprised when Laurelynn sets off all his instincts. She's had a hard life though and doesn't expect anything from life, much less from a man. When her ex shows up to try and get her back, Derek has to move faster than he wanted. Very likable characters and a great HEA. This author always writes a story with a good flow and characters that are right together and manage to have a great relationship.

I enjoyed this new "White Mountain Chanat" story! I really enjoyed Laurelynn and Derek's story. It's an older couple and fated mates story. She was in a bad marriage for twenty years now she is away from her ex. Derek has heard of fated mates but has given up that he will ever find his. When he sees her, he knows she is his, convincing her is another thing altogether. Laurelynn and Derek had a lot to get through to find happiness; including an ex who wants her back. The plot is a roller coaster of emotions as well as intriguing and very captivating story. The story is well written and a nicely developed plot.

Derek thought he would never find his fated mate, but she appears and the sparks ignite. The characters are well done, with great backstories and intense feelings. The storyline has drama, surprises, danger, twists, an ex causing problems, low self esteem to change and lots of steam. Loved how gentle and caring Derek was and the world opens up to them. Really rooted for her to come out stronger and more open. Great ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
