Turned by a Tiger (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 12) Kindle Edition

I was sooooo happy to get my hands on the next ETERNAL MATES installment after nearly a twelve-month drought. Felicity Heaton didn’t leave readers high and dry during that interlude though, with her new GUARDIANS OF HADES series there to help fill the void. Still, that didn’t stop me from longing for this universe and its characters, and to top it off, TURNED BY A TIGER is the start of a triple tiger takeover!

This story didn’t adhere to the classic action followed by romance sequence, instead the order of these components were reversed which wasn’t how I personally prefer events to unfold. I need a little bit of adrenaline to get my engine going, so I had some difficulty with the insta-love introduction. Talon’s entrance into Underworld was dramatic however, after the initial shock value wore off the author briefly lost my interest.

The narrative was overflowing with cat puns that kept me grinning stupidly at my tablet the whole way through. Sherry’s nickname for the protagonist was by far the best though. Funny, yet GRRREAT! I also liked that a lot of past couples had their own little skits within the plot line including my main squeeze, Bleu. There was just the right amount of old favourites to compliment the flow along with a preview of a few more pairs to come.

Talon’s secret was a bit of a let-down, but that’s ok because his unusual brother more than made up for it. I know that his sister’s tale is up next, so fingers crossed that TREASURED BY A TIGER is Grey’s book! I’m a tad disappointed that this series is becoming weighed down by felines; I miss the elves, and I wouldn’t be opposed if the bear shifter that we encountered in this volume were to get his own happily-ever-after too.

Get your summer reading party started with TURNED BY A TIGER!

Turned by a Tiger is oh so good, I absolutely loved Talon and Sherry's story. Talon is a tiger shifter and after escaping Archangel he finds himself at the nightclub Underworld. He is broken, scared and needs to heal but what he finds there will change his life. Sherry is human and has been a bartender for years at Underworld, Kyter is like a brother to her and he takes his role very seriously, so when Talon shows up Kyter wants to fight him but something demands Sherry to save Talon.
Talon has his demons to vanquish, he has secrets that cannot be exposed to the shifter community but he also has a mate he needs to claim.
Turned by a Tiger is a sexy fun story to read, this is another great addition to the Eternal mates series. Some of my favorite characters from previous stories in this series take part in this story. Talon and Sherry have become one of my favorite couples in this series and I cannot wait to read the next story in this series.
I voluntary received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book for an honest review. Happy Reading📚📚📚📚

Turned by a Tiger
By: Felicity Heaton

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Star Review by Kristie K

A paranormal romance with bite, Felicity Heaton brings plenty of action, intrigue, passion, and heart in this installment of the Eternal Mates Series…

As a tiger shifter, Talon holds a strong connection to family…and a deep seated need for his one true mate. His fated one. Captured on a mission for his brother, Talon is held and tortured with experiments for months. After a particularly brutal session, a sacrifice makes escape possible, and Talon runs from his captors. Broken, weak, and bleeding, Talon heads to the one place he can seek refuge…Underworld. A nightclub owned by, and catering to, immortals, Talon prays the owner will have mercy on him and not kill him on sight. What he doesn’t expect, is the gorgeous, brave, strong, and gentle bartender…that happens to be mortal. The connection is immediate, and his desire for her borders on obsession. Realization sets in that this woman can never be his, and he becomes determined to keep his distance. When the woman steps in on his behalf and offers him the sanctuary he desperately needs…keeping his distance becomes impossible.

Sherry is familiar with the paranormal…her boss and self-proclaimed protector is a jaguar shifter. So, when an unfamiliar, but captivating and brutalized shifter stumbles in the door of the nightclub she works at, Sherry is surprised but not shocked. What does shock her, though, is the immediate and uncontrollable pull she feels toward the wounded man. Compelled to protect him, despite any risks to herself, Sherry puts herself between her boss and the wounded shifter and offers him sanctuary in her home. As secrets come to light, and the truth of the captors is revealed, no one is safe. Not even humans. As her feelings for Talon grow, her determination to help increases. She will stop at nothing to stop the monsters committing these atrocities, and heal her wounded tiger.

Turned by the Tiger is the twelfth installment of the Eternal Mates Series, and focuses on tiger shifter Talon and his fated mate, Sherry. Let’s start at the beginning…the cover of Turned by the Tiger is absolutely stunning. Not just the gorgeous and incredibly sexy male that graces it, but the detail of subtle tiger stripes on his skin, and the background and shading. Absolutely stunning. The blurb gives a taste of what is nestled between the pages of this action packed novel, and holds enough hook to pull you in deeper. The story between the pages is full of danger and adventure, mystery and intrigue. The plot and storyline hold true to the series, but take you farther into the dark depths of the depraved minds behind the disappearances and experimentation of immortals. With plenty of action and twists and turns, the story is captivating and sensual. The deep connection between the characters, their mates, and their families was breathtaking. I did find that I hoped for a bit more of the family history and background to Talon and Sherry’s stories. As well as a little more time for development of their relationship. More detail, more everything. But, that might just be me being selfish! The character development was on point, and each one held a piece of my heart. They had so much heart, so much courage and strength. Ms. Heaton is an incredibly talented artist, who’s medium isn't paint or canvas, but words.

I have to begin with I truly love this series. I will like the book or love it. This a love. I was much impressed with this addition to the line of characters. This family of tiger shifters are very interesting. They have their secrets but they are truly devoted to their family pride. They feel deeply and will protect all they care about. In this story you meet Talon a warrior who has suffered much and has affected him deeply. Then you meet Sherry a women who has been threw a lot in her life and left her wounded. Their connection is swift but deep. You get to hear more about Archangel and hints at a deeper story. Definitely a great romance unfolds but so does the underlying currents of the overall story arc. Definitely a must read and these are the characters that you come back for more. Definitely a series for paranormal romance fans who want romance, adventure and a connecting storyline that definitely promises more surprises coming.

Aww, man. I missed these hotblooded shapeshifters and their growly ways. And the elves and the demons and all the others. I don't want them to feel left out. They're all great and I'm THRILLED to be back in the Eternal Mates world.

This time around, we have a tiger shifter who hasn't had an easy time of it lately and a mortal woman who's smack dab in the middle of all the immortal craziness. That said, she's still mortal and that puts her in a dangerous situation. Because nobody's checking IDs when the blood starts flying. Sherry, however, isn't going to let a little thing like that hold her back. Not after she's found someone who makes her heart sing.

Danger, growly men and the women who love them (and sometimes roll their eyes at their overprotective streak), and a group who might (maybe possibly) not have the immortals best interests at heart. Yessssss! More please!
